Byron York does a great job of proving Karl Rove's recent charges against liberals in this country.
The [outrage] that people like Schumer and Pelosi have manufactured is crap. They associated themselves closely with organizations like MoveOn.org in this past election cycle ---and now, again--- they get to enjoy it.
After Rove's comments, MoveOn released a statement saying flatly, "MoveOn did not oppose the U.S. military action in Afghanistan." And in an interview with the Washington Post, reporter Dan Balz wrote that MoveOn political chief Eli Pariser "disputed Rove's characterization of the petition calling for moderation and restraint, saying that the petition was a personal project before he was affiliated with MoveOn and that it was not on the group's Web site at the time of the Afghanistan war."It's a short piece, so check it out.
Despite Pariser's contention, there is solid evidence that MoveOn did in fact oppose the war in Afghanistan, and that MoveOn founders Joan Blades and Wes Boyd hired Pariser in significant part because of his activism against the war.
