Orrin Hatch Steps Up

Don Surber catches Utah Senator Orrin Hatch saying exactly what needed to be said--especially in the face of the revolting and odious attempts to smear a brilliant and honorable man--in order to recklessly mislead the American people into snatching defeat from victory in Iraq. It is so telling that so far not one Democrat has stepped up to condemn the MoveOn ad. Why? Because for the Dems right and wrong have no meaning whatsoever. Like Hitler's SS and Stalin's KGB and Mao's Cultural Revolutionaries, for the Left's Brownshirts, the end justifies any means, any lives which must be ruined or destroyed, any lie, any corruption, any cover up of the truth:

A grownup has stood up in the Senate to denounce the “Betray Us” ad by MoveOn.org. The Democratic Party should be ashamed that it took Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah to say what has to be said — and to defend the honor of a man who was unanimously appointed by the Senate.

A taste of what he said:

“Now, anyone who has had the opportunity to meet the General, and anybody who has bothered to follow his career or his academic pursuits, knows that these are dangerous and unwarranted allegations. However, there might be a silver lining to this slander. Libel, really, because it was printed The New York Times. Now, all of America understands MoveOn.org and other groups like it are called the nutroots of our society. These people are nuts and they don’t care who they hurt, they don’t care who they smear they don’t care who they libel. Politics is more important than anything else and power is the most important anything of all.”

Every single one of the 49 Democratic Senators who voted for him but refuses to stand up to the Move On cowards — and Billionaire Wes Boyd who finances this front group — should be ashamed.

Support the troops? Then support the No. 1 Troop — General David Petraeus.

The video is here and here.

UPDATE: Rudy rips Dems for not ripping MoveOn.
