Even their name is completely irrelevant.

...MoveOn has become a force to be reckoned with...
___________________________________________________
Apparently there was a moveon campaign to against Fox News and all the members were asked to print out a petition and have everyone they could buttonhole sign it. A co-worker made the mistake of bringing it to work and asking us to sign it. She made the mistake of coming to me first. I told her I would not sign such a ridiculous petition and reported her immediately for passing around such trash at the office. (Mind you, we are a federal govt. subsidized operation!) She was told immediately to desist.

If moveon rank and file are this stupid, I don't reckon there is much of a force...

MoveOn: The political equivalent of maggots devouring a rotting corpse.

Good job! Hatch Act, right? www.osc.gov/ha_fed.htm
The MoveOn morons are some of the biggest pests around.

They raised $60 million from 500,000 donors

Am I the only one that thinks that 59 million came from one donor while the other 499,999 contributed 2 dollars each ?

What is that line "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing", or something like that.

[King Prout]

psychosis [sy.KO.sis] (n).

“The inability to distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. Psychosis is a term used to describe a severe mental illness. Psychotics are characterized by a variety of symptoms that most people consider abnormal. These include experiencing delusions, such as the notion that one is being persecuted or conspired against. Psychotics may see things which don't actually exist and hear Voices (i.e. God) when no one is around. They often exhibit compulsive, irrational, ritualized behavior, esp. when such behavior serves no purpose or is even harmful or disruptive to those around them. They show no concern for others but may exhibit total self-centered behavior. Includes sociopathy, schizophrenia.”

Communism at the forefront. Communism = Moveon.org = DemoncRAT Party

[Nick Danger]

MoveOn has already revolutionized Democratic politics, energizing the party faithful in ways Karl Rove would envy.

Karl Rove doesn't have to envy it. He's got an even better one. Yep, Democratic turnout in the election was at an all-time high, and MoveOn had a big part to play in that. But Republican turnout was even higher, and that happened because Ken Mehlman built a nationwide army of volunteers, all organized on the Internet, that beat the MoveOn army at the ground game.

Why does MoveOn get all the attention? Because reporters are all a bunch of liberals. They have no clue what the Republicans are doing; they never talk to any. So it's MoveOn-this and MoveOn-that, with nary a word about the fact that MoveOn got its butt kicked in the election by a better-organized army of Internet activists on the right.

need to win some elections "in the classical sense"?

Man....these assholes really don't have a clue what goes in the the world outside their little circle, do they?

[peacebaby]

It's my theory MoveOn.Org's efforts backfired and helped elect President Bush.

[fella]

That noise you hear coming from the DNC headquarters is the sound of goose-stepping jackboots.

[mewzilla]

Yep, Democratic turnout in the election was at an all-time high...

And some of those Dems were voting for 43 :)

[Free Vulcan]

I compare this to the grassroots effort on our side. Theirs is so much more narrow, and so much less interested in results for the money spent. But, they got to shake their fist, and force us to hear it.

[CyberAnt]

Is this article written to counter an article the last few days which said that that MoveOn hadn't accomplished anything of any worth ..??

[EQAndyBuzz]

What they do not understand is that they needed Florida in 2000. Lost it. They needed Ohio in 2004. Lost it. Based on this, it looks like they will go after Colorado and Missouri in 2008. That looks like their only chance to get that 20 vote pickup.

Moveon is irrelevant. Americans are now privy to the hatred of the left and once moderate Dems realize that they are no longer wanted in the party, they will switch. Already taking place in PA.
