Much has been made of the recent comments by Washington State Congressman Brian Baird, an opponent of both the Iraq War and the Surge, to the effect that he felt that the Surge should be given a chance to work. He made these comments after going to Iraq and personally observing conditions there.
Well, it turns out that the (in)famous "netroots" (nutroots might be a better term) aren't too happy with Congressman Baird's comments, and Moveon.org (which is bankrolled at least in part by the odious George Soros) is now running ads against him: http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010562.
To his credit, the Congressman isn't backing down. It's a shame that the so-called Democratic Base is so invested in failure that it will stop at nothing to silence anyone who deviates from its viewpoint.

I hope there are enough Americans who want us to win and this will harm the Democratic party.
