You can judge Barack Obama by his experience as an executive.

He doesn’t have any.

Or you can judge him by the type of folks who endorse him.

Fidel Castro loves Obama. So does Quadafi. The terrorists over at Hamas are full-blown Obamanicacs, too. And now, it seems that even Kim Jong Il is jumping on the bandwagon.

But, as William Kristol points out in the New York Times, they are nothing compared to the lowest of the low, the boiling lunatics at Moveon.org, who’ve just indulged themselves in a orgy of seething hatred the like of which those tyrants never dreamed of.

Kristol tells us about a new Moveon TV ad that the group is running now in swing states:

A mother speaks as she holds her baby boy: “Hi, John McCain. This is Alex. And he’s my first. So far his talents include trying any new food and chasing after our dog. That, and making my heart pound every time I look at him. And so, John McCain, when you say you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can’t have him.”

You have to work hard to list all the shameless lies and smears contained in this short blurb:

(1) When McCain spoke about being in Iraq for 100 years, he specifically said “as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed.” America, as Kristol points out, has had many such long-term military presences, including in Germany and Japan. In a libelous smear, Moveon simply forgets to tell its viewers that part.

(2) America doesn’t have the draft, and John McCain doesn’t support it. So it would be entirely up to Alex whether to serve his country. Apparently, his mother feels she has the right to make that decision for him. Wonder what other decisions Moveon would say parents have the right to make? Can they tell the athiests they “can’t have” their children, and force religion upon them too? How about sexual preference? It’s doubtful the leftists at Moveon would go along with that.

(3) As I’ve previously reported, an avalanche of recent data shows that the America is enjoying considerable success right now in the Iraq conflict. If you compare America’s casualties in this conflict to wars the Democrats started, like Korea and Vietnam, they are totally insignificant. Moveon conveniently fails to tell you that, too.

(4) Unlike Barack Obama, John McCain has actually known the horror of war — and not only of war but of being POW — up close and personal. To suggest he’s a bloodthirsty warmonger is a smear that Obama should be ashamed of, and should immediately condemn. Kristol points to the mother of a solider who is serving now in Iraq, who angrily answers Moveon: “Does that mean that she wants other people’s sons to keep the wolves at bay so that her son can live a life of complete narcissism? What is it she thinks happens in the world? Someone has to stand between our society and danger. If not my son, then who? If not little Alex then someone else will have to stand and deliver. Someone’s son, somewhere.”

Is Moveon suggesting that America shouldn’t have any army? Does it condemn former President Bill Clinton’s use of American forces in the former Yugoslavia? Does it know that it was Clinton who first called for the use of military force against Iraq?

It simply couldn’t be any less consistent with the values and norms Obama claims to support to accept tactical assistance from this band of crazed hatemongering psychopaths. Yet, Obama is silent.
Maybe he’s to busy listing to all those endorsements rolling in, calling to say thanks and asking for donations.

And it could hardly be more inconsistent with the idea that the country overwhelmingly rejects Republicans and loves Obama that his supporters feel the need to engage in such desperate tactics as smears and lies.
