The GOP knows a fund-raising opportunity when it sees one, and MoveOn’s Petraeus ad is nothing if not a fund-raising opportunity. Here’s the email that the National Republican Senatorial Committee has sent out condemning the ad. It’s from Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) and asks recipients to sign a petition demanding that Senate Democrats return contributions from MoveOn, while making a pitch to pony up a contribution to the NRSC:

Regardless of how you feel about the war in Iraq, Americans must always value the sacrifice and service of America’s soldiers. We cannot let our political views cloud our judgment and cast any shadow of a doubt on our soldiers’ honor.

Sign the Petition to Senate Democrats today urging them to return MoveOn’s contributions.

And after you complete the Petition, please make an immediate contribution of $25, $50, $75, $100, $500 or even $1,000 to our efforts to regain the Republican Senate Majority.

Because what better way to honor our troops’ sacrifice than contributing to the NRSC. I have a lump in my throat just thinking about it.
