MoveOn ad that Chuck Hagel, taking heavy GOP fire, is furious about.

1. screw him, the truth is the truth

[flpoljunkie]

3. My thoughts exactly. Hagel is demanding MoveOn pull the ad. Can't stand

the GOP incoming.

2. Good! Hagel telling the truth will bring out the truth about...

Iraq and Bush.

4. I would like to see that on TV tonight :) nt

6. Read somewhere that it is a $500,000 media buy, so it may well be.

5. Thats a great ad! (n/t)

7. I hope we're not financing his presidential campaign

If the guy hadn't stolen his way to "elective" office, I might like the guy. But he apparently did. So let's not make him into some kind of hero for calling a spade a spade.

11. He won't get the GOP nomination. RW Repubs don't trust him (he speaks

the truth occasionally). They like the TP spewers like Allen, Frist, etc.

Admitting reality seems to be a killer for a potential Republican candidate.

8. GOP's "last throes" . Also saw a History Channel thing on

Blackhawk Down: The True Story and GHWBush sent troops into Somalia, but the DeltaForce/Rangers were upset that Clinton pulled them from their incoherent mission in Mogadishu. Clinton made the right call:

Every time the Powell Doctrine has been ignored, bad things happen militarily. No 'overpowering force', no exit strategy, no clearly defined and PUBLICLY SUPPORTED mission...

9. The sweet fragrance of karma in the afternoon

I know Hagel has his admirers here. But I think he may be getting his just desserts. I'm referring to how it's rumored that he stole his first election because his old company's voting machines were used in that election. So, I say - whut-evah.

10. No reason to pull it. It is true - he said it and it is effective

because he is a Republican.

Absolutely NO reason in the world to pull the ad.

This could be great if it gets the ad a lot of free airplay on the Corp. news channels.

You need a little controversy to get something played, thanks for complaining, Chuck!

12. He's boxed in

he can't say he didn't say it or he recants.
Well , I guess there'll be one less repub in the 08 race. GOOD !

13. Where is he taking "heavy GOP fire"? I don't him being attacked at all...

by Karl Rove or anyone. He does own 35% of ES&S, stole his first election through them so as far as I am concerned, he's got to be complicit in what many think happened in Ohio and other states this past year.

Hagel is being very calculating - he's positioning himself to split off/pick up the McCain primary vote in Iowa and NH. He wants to play both sides of the fence and this ad and his reaction highlights this tendency.

Despite his moving-to-the-center carefully-scripted "maverick" rhetoric, he was going to vote with Frist to get rid of the filibuster so I think it's pretty clear which side of the aisle he really supports when the rubber hits the road.

17. The man himself, Cheney, has said Hagel is flat wrong regardiing Iraq.

And I would expect the right-wing radio howlers are on his case. They take their marching orders from Cheney.

[Goldeneye]

14. Hey, he said it. Too bad.

If they can use what democrats say in their ads, then we can use what repubs say in ours.

15. They should air it before AND after the chimp's speech n/t

[orleans]
