The MoveOn.org ad in the New York Times attacking Gen. David Petraeus is coming back to bite Rep. Michael Arcuri. The New York Republican State Committee today issued a statement calling on Arcuri to denounce the ad and return any contributions he has received from MoveOn.org.
Democrats from New York State, including Senator Hillary Clinton and Representatives Kirstin Gillibrand, Michael Acuri and John Hall have not voiced their opposition to these baseless attacks. This raises many questions for Senator Clinton in particular, as she seeks to be our Commander-in-Chief and lead our armed forces. Additionally, Representatives Gillibrand and Arcuri have accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Moveon.org.
There’s little doubt Arcuri will do any of this, but it’s worth applying some pressure. The residents of the 24th District aren’t exactly hard-core leftists like the folks at MoveOn.org.

[...] Again, this is more evidence that Arcuri should follow the advice of military commanders rather than MoveOn.org. [...]
