Foxx Decries Shameless Smear of General Petraeus

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx released the following statement today condemning MoveOn.org for a full-page ad the liberal group ran in the New York Times that refers to General Petraeus as "General Betray Us."

"Despite General Petraeus's impeccable record of selfless military service to this country, MoveOn continues to prove that it is out of step with average Americans who are ready to listen to the general's report to Congress.

"Calling a four-star general a traitor is the lowest and most crass form of political rhetoric. I know that the people of this country will see right through this ridiculous attack and further isolate this fringe group.

"My Democrat colleagues should denounce this shameless political stunt and align themselves with our troops who every day make great sacrifices for their nation. It's time for them to step back from far-left political operatives who are out of touch with regular Americans.

"Our troops and General Petraeus deserve better."
