I don’t think you can sum up the Code Pink widespread left-wing lunacy any better than this picture from Marcos does:

Update:
John McCain makes a good point:
Senator Clinton said that believing General Petraeus’ testimony requires a ‘willing suspension of disbelief.’ I think it willingly suspends disbelief to not repudiate an advertisement run by a radical left wing organization that impugns and dishonors the integrity of a man who has served his nation with dedication all of his life. If you’re not tough enough to repudiate a scurrilous, outrageous attack such as that, then I don’t know how you’re tough enough to be President of the United States.
FullosseousFlap points out that Cindy Sheehan is back in full swing on the anti-war nutter butter express. I guess her campaign against Nancy Pelosi is going great if she’s got all this time to hang out with frowny faced loons.
Kerry served with distinction, and the Right Wing Nutter Butters attacked him too…Hmmmmm, turnabout?
It is a catchy phrase, isn’t it?
Nice to see you sticking around.
To answer your question, Kerry was indeed attacked based on his Vietnam record, but the pivotal difference between the assault on his record and that of Petraeus is that Kerry was not only invoking his military service as a campaign issue, but he is also a politician.
Petraeus is not a politician. He is a military General currently serving in a theater of war, commanding our armed forces in harm’s way.
