WVGOP Chairman responds to MoveOn.org

WVGOP Chairman Doug McKinney has responded to the dispicable moveon.org ad that ran this morning.

From the West Virginia Republican Party's website (which you should be visiting every day):

West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Doug McKinney today issued the following statement calling on West Virginia Democrats to denounce the MoveOn.org attack ad in today’s New York Times assailing General David Petraeus and America’s military.

“MoveOn.org’s malicious attack on General Petraeus and our nation’s troops should be condemned by West Virginia Congressional Democrats immediately.

“After trying unsuccessfully to block funding for American soldiers and second guess our commanders on the ground, this radical left-wing organization has resorted to launching slanderous assaults on our nation’s brave men and women who are fighting the War on Terrorism. As the father of a United States Marine, I take personal offense at this attack.

“West Virginia Democrats, including Sen. Robert C. Byrd, have benefited from donations from MoveOn.org in the past. I hope these Democrats finally denounce this insult to America’s troops, and refuse to line up with the liberal extremists that have hijacked their party.

“Instead of condemning General Petraeus, I urge West Virginia’s elected officials to condemn this advertisement and resolve to listen to what General Petraeus has to say.”
