 The Devil and the Democrats
When MoveOn.org ran its New York Times attack ad against General Petraeus prior to his congressional testimony, they did so with the full knowledge and consent of the Democratic leadership. During the hearing more than the usual level of partisan grandstanding and staged audience participation obscured the issue, as the Democrats attempted to discredit an honest soldier and a man of integrity, honor and rare intellect.

An accurate synopsis of the entire circus would be, “We appreciate your service and sacrifice but you’re a liar and a willing shill for the President,” no matter that the President is the Commander in Chief whose orders the General is duty bound to obey.
This was, of course, homage to the MoveOn.org left and their Soros-led financiers and quite purposely reflected the vicious spirit of the Times ad. It was also an example of just who the Democrats now answer to, and what institutions they are willing to denigrate in their quest for political supremacy. Luckily, their transparent political theatrics did not sit well with many Americans and it will likely backfire.
Why would the Democrat leadership believe this ham-fisted propaganda tactic would be successful? For several reasons, this type of tactic has worked reliably as a means of influencing electorate perceptions in the past, and it follows that they believe the American people will buy it. With every political victory, this perception is reaffirmed by a sympathetic media and by a Republican party unprepared, unwilling or unable to retake the initiative and preempt Democrat propaganda. The left is ideologically committed to the tactics we witnessed during the Petraeus testimony. They are part of a methodology of below the belt political gamesmanship codified by self-described “rebel” Saul David Alinsky that has a long history of success.
Conservatives consistently succumb to what some call the “Alinsky Method” of power politics precisely because they find them distasteful, even abhorrent. Many believe that to respond in kind or to engage head-on means they would be “sinking into gutter politics.” Many simply cannot believe the Democrats are so cynical or ruthless, blinded by the comforting myth of bi-partisan compromise that the Democrats themselves perpetuate. Consequently, political attacks that should be anticipated are unplanned for, and outrageous falsehoods are unanswered. The initiative is conceded by inaction and responses are forever reactive, the weaker position in politics. Inaction allows the left to paint a picture of conservatives that does not reflect reality, and those popular perceptions, false as they are, carry the day.
