According to the Washington Times the full page newspaper ad by MoveOn.org that accuses General David Petraeus of betraying America has spurred Republicans to pick up the pace of their political contributions.
While it's too early to tell how much money Republicans have raised using the tactic, party spokesmen say it has been an effective fundraising tool.
"The [MoveOn ad] issue is very hot with our base right now," said National Republican Senatorial Committee spokeswoman Rebecca Fisher. "We are using the controversy to reinforce our message that the Democrats in the Senate are beholden to the liberal wing of the party — and this is a perfect example of [their] pandering to the extreme wing."
