Oops! Moveon.org errs on Brownback's support of troop surge

The George Soros financed group Moveon.org laid another egg recently. I guess they can't tell Republicans apart.

From the Kansas City Star:

A liberal group is airing ads in Kansas and around the country this week criticizing Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback for supporting President Bush’s troop escalation in Iraq.

The problem: Brownback doesn’t support the 21,500-troop escalation. In fact, he was among the first Republican senators to publicly oppose it and remains the party’s only presidential candidate in the anti-surge camp.

The ads, by Moveon.org Political Action, criticize several Republican senators for supporting the escalation and for making demands that Democrats say blocked a vote on a non-binding resolution condemning the escalation.

In the ads, a photograph of Brownback is shown with the word “escalate” in a cartoon bubble next to his mouth. The voiceover says Brownback and other Republicans are “willing to send tens of thousands more troops to face danger in Iraq, but they don’t have the courage to face a vote.”

Brownback undoubtedly attracts Moveon's glare because in addition to being an announced presidential candidate, he's a favorite of social conservatives.
