Progressive Group Issues Stern Warning to Hillary Clinton for “Stupid” Comments about Obama

MoveOn has seen this game played out before and it is a game perfected by right-winged media nuts like Rush Limbaugh and politicians like John McCain.

So when Hillary Clinton joined that same right-winged talking-point and condemned Obama for not arming the rebels in Syria, effectively calling the president’s decision not to arm “stupid,” MoveOn stepped in and issued this warning to Clinton “and any other person” wishing to get the Democratic nomination in 2016.

The statement was on Tuesday by Ilya Sheyman, the executive director of MoveOn Political Action.

Secretary Clinton, and any other person thinking about seeking the Democratic nomination in 2016, should think long and hard before embracing the same policies advocated by right-wing war hawks that got America into Iraq in the first place and helped set the stage for Iraq’s troubles today. These hawkish policy stances are also threatening to undermine the peaceful international resolution of Iran’s nuclear program.
Voters elected President Obama in 2008 to bring the war in Iraq to an end. MoveOn members will continue to stand with elected officials who oppose military escalation that could put us back on a path to endless war.
