I actually don’t want them to be driven off the radar screen...they’re one of the best things we have to draw a distinction between the sane folks and the left!

I’m actually surprised that we haven’t infiltrated such an organization and had a lil bit of fun ;)

think about it...it woyld be sooo easy to play “MoveOn” for a weekend. Come up with some ridiculious, wild@ss statement, hit the xerox machine, hit the streets and instant entertainment!

And that’s just the kinda stuff you could do from the outside.
Getting into the actual group as a “fellow traveller” would allow one or two motivated individuals per state to really have some fun. Hell, start our out own local MoveOn orgs. All kinds of mayhem could ensue. And given the track record of the organization any dumb@ss thing we could pull off wouldn’t seem that outlandish..

Whenever I see the work of MoveOn or CodePink, I secretly suspect I am actually watching the work of some motivated and hilarious young republicans.
If it is, I must say, good job lads, thats some of the best mind*&^%-agit-prop-comedy-political-theatre the world has ever seen!

Why doesn’t he suggest the democrats donate it to help veterans instead of giving it back to moveon. They will just use it again for something just as stupid.

Excellent point you make!

I am solidly behind Fred but it hasn’t been just Fred calling Moveon.org to task. I think it is great that Fred is calling that campaign funds be returned. It won’t happen but it is a good way to keep the fire burning on Moveon.org the stinking corpse of political thought it is.

Snip:

Moveon.org supporters have contributed over $108,000 to Democratic presidential candidates this year through the group’s political action committee, according to Federal Election Commission records.

With the Shu money and now this-if the R's can go at this full throttle, the Dems will be having to use Kusinich as a hurdy gurdy organ grinder monkey and sit out on the street corner for donations.

C'mom R's--don't get weak knees! THIS is their soft spot to aim at--press on!!

Did you create that? It’s great. One suggestion: Instead of “Full speed ahead Fred”, how about “Full Fred ahead”? It would keep the continuity of the original quote “Full speed ahead” and of the intent as well.

Just a suggestion. I’m not trying to detract from what you did.

I want the donor list for Move on.org.

Their name alone shows their hypocrisy.

Giving to charity is bogus. They own the charities.

Kinda like Algore purchasing carbon credits.

EXCELLENT suggestion!!!!
That being said, they’ll never do it...they’ll twist and spin and in the process show even more of the public what hypocrytical traitors they are.

Actually, I liked Giuliani’s response to this outrage - he actually DID something - a triple threat - He got the NY Times, Hillary Clinton and Move-On all at one time with his response. Fred is full of hot air.

The Espionage Act of 1917 is a United States federal law passed shortly after entering World War I, on June 15, 1917, which made it a crime for a person to convey information with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the armed forces of the United States or to promote the success of its enemies.

Yes... I am accepting donations for a "Keep Hsu Alive" slush fund. Call 899-BENDER2 and have your credit card handy!

Donate early... and often!

Remember... a dead Hsu is a terrible waste!

Bwahahaha!!

Can I steal them for the Pings?

I had trouble coming up with other applicable money quotes when I made the original.

Use 'em as you wish, Darlin... but spend them very carefully!

Someone may think you... are Norman Hsu!

And you'll get a visit late in the night...
