In further evidence that the Democratic primary is straining the party, liberal activist organization MoveOn.org is circulating a petition that attacks a group of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) donors, who had “threatened” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for her stance on superdelegates.
“This is pretty outrageous: a group of Clinton-supporting big Democratic donors are threatening to stop supporting Democrats in Congress because Nancy Pelosi said that the people, not the superdelegates, should decide the presidential nomination,” said MoveOn, which is backing Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), in an e-mail to supporters.
A group of deep-pocketed donors had, in a letter to Pelosi, criticized the Speaker’s position on the role of superdelegates, while also pointing out that they were “strong supporters” of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
MoveOn said the letter was a threat.
“It's the worst kind of insider politics — billionaires bullying our elected leaders into ignoring the will of the voters,” the group stated. “But when we all pool our resources, together we're stronger than the fat cats. So let's tell Nancy Pelosi that if she keeps standing up for regular Americans, thousands of us will have her back. And we can more than match whatever the CEOs and billionaires refuse to contribute.”
MoveOn is encouraging its members to electronically sign the petition, which states: "The Democratic nomination should be decided by the voters — not by superdelegates or party high-rollers. We've given money — and time — to progressive candidates and causes, and we'll support Speaker Pelosi and others who stand up for democracy in the Democratic Party."
Representatives of the Clinton campaign said on a conference call Thursday that they were given a “heads-up” by the donors before the letter was delivered, but they said they were unaware of its content.
Billionaires, I wonder who these Clinton supporter are and are they thinking they are buying the Clintons and the White House?
“It’s the worst kind of insider politics — billionaires bullying our elected leaders into ignoring the will of the voters...”
Funny coming from a group this is a wholly owned subsidiary of the billionaire Commie Soros
The Chi-Coms.
I can’t wait until the Dem convention. I just love to watch liberals eat their own.
Operation Chaos.
Didn’t the Clintons start or at least inspire the start of MoveOn.org? Delicious.
It’s getting betta and betta, folks!
Maybe it's back to the old days. The New York (limo-lib) Mafia vs the Chicago (limo lib) Mafia.
I’m going to have to start selling programs so people will know who is on whose side for the Dems.
Another reason why O’Bambino would be in the worst case scenario a better POTUS - he (one hopes) hasn’t been bought! Yet.
Hillary founded Media Matters. Moveon.org was founded by the people that created those fish screensavers, Berkeley Systems
"..Among the signees of the letter were prominent Democrats and Clinton supporters like Robert Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television; Bernard Schwartz, former chairman of Loral Space and Communications; and venture capitalist Steven Rattner..."
loral "Bernard Schwartz " site:freerepublic.com
The Clinton people are unbelievable!! Bernard Schwartz should have gone to Prison. It is amazing they would use him in a letter likely to be public.
Loral fined $14m over China missiles claim{Treason is cheap these days…}
Cage Match on C-Span. Oh puh-leeze!!!
And we can more than match whatever the CEOs and billionaires refuse to contribute.”
The fact that these are Liberal Democrat CEOs and billionaires is lost on them.
snicker.
Got it. Al Gore invented carbon, right? On second thought, who cares?
stand up for democracy in the Democratic Party.”
YEAH! Say it LOUD, say it Proud!
“Stand up for democracy in the Democratic Party.”
“Stand up for democracy in the Democratic Party.”
“Stand up for democracy in the Democratic Party.”
I see it’s finally come to scum vs scum vs scum. How appropriate for a party who has nothing but scum in it’s ranks.
Al Gore invented the silicon wafer before he invented the internet.
And yet he’s still a moron. Is this country great, or what!
Yes, however, MoveOn.org was so named because, during the impeachment of B.J. Clinton, it advised the Senate to censure--rather than convict--and "move on."
For an outfit which has received major funding not only from Soros but from the Hyatt family billions, the criticism about "fat cats" and CEO's is just too rich.
Funny coming from a group this is a wholly owned subsidiary of the billionaire Commie Soros
BINGO
If Hussein does not become President, there will be blood in the streets, and the Drive-By Media will blame Rush.
Chi-com front men looking for further missile secrets from Loral.
Finally, someone understands how our government works!!!
And why is "Moveon" being quoted as if "Moveon" is an individual? Bad form--should have a spokesperson.
