A September 21 headline on the political website JustHillary.com falsely claimed that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) was the “only Dem not to condemn MoveOn's ad,” a reference to the full-page advertisement on Gen. David Petraeus the liberal organization placed in The New York Times on September 10, titled "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" The JustHillary.com headline read in full: “BETRAYAL: Giuliani blasts Hillary for being only Dem not to condemn MoveOn's ad” and linked to a September 21 article by Glenn Thrush and Craig Gordon posted on Newsday.com that reported that “Clinton was the only one of 25 senators, all Democrats, who opposed Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn's [R-TX] amendment to 'strongly condemn' MoveOn.Org for running newspaper ads referring to the general as 'Betray Us.' ”
A version of Thrush and Gordon's article, which correctly noted that Clinton was “only one of 25 senators” to vote against the Cornyn amendment, rather than "the only one of 25 senators," was posted by baltimoresun.com.
But the Thrush/Gordon article did not mention that Clinton, along with 49 other senators, voted for an amendment proposed by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to “strongly condemn attacks on the honor, integrity, and patriotism of any individual who is serving or has served honorably in the United States Armed Forces, by any person or organization.” Boxer's amendment criticized the MoveOn.org ad as “an unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus” but also condemned Republican-backed attacks against Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and former Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA).
