Robert Cox of the Washington Examiner<\/a> raises new questions about the relationship between Google and MoveOn.org;<\/p>\n

Internal documents obtained by The Examiner shine new light on MoveOn.org\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153General Betray Us\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ad and raise fresh questions about the far-left advocacy group\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s misleading statements on the issue and its relationship with Google, a major donor to its political action committee.<\/p>\n

The documents show how MoveOn.org used dubious claims of trademark infringement and threats of litigation to silence critics of its recent controversial full-page ad in The New York Times attacking Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. general in Iraq, which appeared the day he was testifying before Congress on the war effort. Among those critics was Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who is seeking a third term.<\/p>\n

After The Examiner exclusively reported Oct. 11 that Google had banned four anti-MoveOn.org ads placed by the Collins campaign, Google and MoveOn.org each sought to portray the ban as unrelated to the Petraeus ad controversy. The documents obtained by The Examiner, however, show a direct link between the two events.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Examiner also provides a timeline of events<\/a> which makes the whole story a little easier to understand.<\/p>\n
