The Gang That Couldn't Advertise Straight

Ya gotta love those moonbat morons from MoveOn.org. Everytime you think they can't get any dumber, they prove you wrong.

The liberal political group MoveOn.org has yanked a video ad from its website after being criticized for using images of British soldiers to represent Americans in Iraq.

The 30-second ad, which also began running on CNN and cable stations during the Thanksgiving weekend, stated that "150,000 American men and women are stuck in Iraq" this holiday season.

But the ad showed soldiers who were "not wearing U.S. uniforms," according to a Pentagon spokesman who was interviewed by Cybercast News Service Wednesday, approximately two hours before the Internet version of the ad was pulled from the MoveOn.org website.

MoveOn's latest antics didn't set well with a serviceman who had just returned from Iraq:

But the television ad has already reportedly drawn a sharp reaction from an Army captain who just completed his third deployment in Iraq, according to OpinionJournal.com.

James Taranto, the author of the OpinionJournal.com column, wrote that the Army captain was "an old friend" of his who emailed with his criticism. The captain was quoted as calling the MoveOn.org TV ad "completely offensive" and "a Bush-bashing ad" that "shows turkey and crying wives and blames Bush for it all."

As "the idiots from MoveOn.org ... pretend to argue on my behalf, they show a group of soldiers standing around a table in the Middle East," the captain reportedly wrote and added that the individuals in the photo were "actually British soldiers.

"One is in shorts (we don't have shorts as a normal combat uniform), and the others are all clearly wearing British pattern fatigues," the Army captain wrote, noting that people at MoveOn.org "don't even know what an American soldier looks like!"

As an update to this story, the dingbats at MoveOn tried to dummy up their photo to make the soldiers more "American". They darkened up the uniforms and actually photoshopped a pair of pants onto the guy who was shown wearing shorts. You can see the photos here (scroll down).

I have a suggestion for the new MoveOn.org slogan: MoveOn.org - We're Our Own Worst Enemy!
