I’ve been critical of VoteVets.org for quite some time. Initially, I supported them thinking that their true intent was to get veterans elected to the chambers of Congress. It was founded during the run-up to the 2006 elections and immediately began endorsing veteran candidates.

Immediately, I noticed the true intent of this organization. They didn’t really want to get veterans elected to public office; they wanted to get LIBERAL veterans elected to public office. It wasn’t until 2007 that I finally woke up to it all. After listening to Marcus Luttrell debate Brandon Friedman at a Texas bookstore, my mind was made up. It was obvious that there was something devious behind this organization.

After following this organization for over two years, I’m convinced that VoteVets.org is a veteran front group for the liberal, America-hating organization MoveOn.org. While this is merely my opinion, my research doesn’t lie.

In 2006, they launched an ad campaign targeting Republican (but not Democrat) politicians in a phony ad about our body armor. They blatantly lied about the type and quantity of the body armor we use in the military. They were misleading about the type of weapon being used and lied about the armor “being left over from Vietnam”. In 2008, they didn’t endorse ONE non-Democratic candidate on their website. When I confronted Brandon on this during our March 12, 2008 show Brandon claimed to be a “policy based organization and not a party based organization.”

“What that means is,” he explained, “we have our agenda and platform and support candidates who agree with us on that.”

When I confronted him with the fact that all the candidates they endorsed have been “cut and run” candidates, Brandon had a hard time coming back with anything other than “that’s absurd”.

I think that VoteVets and MoveOn have worked very closely to ensure that only liberal veterans are elected to Congress to destroy the war effort and bring our troops home without victory. When we tried pressing Brandon on the real mission of VoteVets and their specific agenda, he demurred and refused to answer.

The organization even teamed up with MoveOn.org for a “Bring the Troops Home” video campaign. The VoteVets website is registered to an anonymous third party organization who refused to talk to me about who owns the URL. For an organization trying to be a legitimate voice of veterans, being owned and operated as a MoveOn.org front group doesn’t lend much credibility.

And suddenly it all makes sense. More on my posts about VoteVets.org HERE and HERE.
