House condemns MoveOn.org's NYT "General Petraeus" ad....

Last week the U.S. Senate voted 72-25 to condemn MoveOn.org's full-page New York Times ad calling Gen. David Petraeus a traitor (click here to see who voted for and against). Today the House of Representatives also voted to condemn the ad. In a stunning 341-79 vote, the House passed a Resolution that praised Gen. Petraeus' patriotism.

MoveOn.org's response?
"With every passing day, more American soldiers and Iraqi civilians lose their lives in this unwinnable civil war," said Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action. "It is unconscionable and outrageous that instead of doing the people's work and ending this war, Congress chooses meaningless and distracting gestures."
Does he consider it "outrageous" that Hillary is wasting time trying to obtain $1 million for a meaningless hippie "Woodstock" museum? Just asking....
