CBS News reports:
Arizona Senator John McCain has taken criticism of anti-war group MoveOn.org to a whole new level: He is suggesting that the organization “ought to be thrown out of this country.”Whether you agree with MoveOn.org or not isn't the issue.Here we have John McCain suggesting a group should be "thrown out of this country".John McCain might be the most vocal advocate of getting rid of free speech in America today.We think those who attack the free market in speech are un-American.
The liberal advocacy group angered Republicans earlier this week with a full-page ad in the New York Times criticizing Gen. David Petraeus as he prepared to testify before Congress. The ad, which asserted that Petraeus was “cooking the books” on the situation in Iraq carried the headline, “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?”
Republicans condemned the ad and the party’s presidential candidates have taken it up as a cause on the campaign trail. The campaign of Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani took out its own ad in the Times criticizing MoveOn and tying the organization to Hillary Clinton. McCain has begun carrying a blown-up, laminated poster of the MoveOn ad to his campaign stops.
