After Super Tuesday, Hillary Clinton blamed her losses in caucus states on Democratic activists, and particularly on MoveOn.org, according to an audio recording posted on The Huffington Post.
The Web site reported Friday that Clinton was talking to a group of donors at a small closed-door fundraiser when she made the remarks, saying the “activist base” of the party “flooded” caucus sites and intimidated her supporters.
“Moveon.org endorsed [Sen. Barack Obama] — which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down,” she told the group, according to The Huffington Post.
“We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party. MoveOn didn’t even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that’s what we’re dealing with. And they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and it’s primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them.
“I don’t agree with them. They know I don’t agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me.”
MoveOn rebuked Clinton for her reported comments. The anti-Iraq war group said in a statement to The Huffington Post that the New York senator’s claims were “divisive” and added, “MoveOn never opposed the war in Afghanistan.”

Why are new organizations not talkeing abut “Screw em” comment about Southern Whites? The lunch bucket Democrats.
Has Hilary! blamed her so-called husband BJ Bill yet? LOL
the same crowd that drove off Joe Lieberman are in charge and Hillary has gotten a taste of how out of control the Dem party has unraveled into the Marxist party.
I just posted the exact sentiment a few threads down. I couldn’t agree with you more.
This account is how the Obama people acted at Seattle’s 43rd Legislative District Caucus held April 5th, 2008:
“I’m a Clinton supporter AND I had to put up w/ constant barbs and asides from the Obama people who sat behind me in the Hillary section from the beginning because, as they told me: “Like you guys will ever fill up this section anyway.” Got it.”
But I agree with you that Sean Astin was pretty much a joke, beginning with his lateness and then continuing with the booing, shouts of “Obama!” and endless hissing that went on during his speech. I was mortified for him, and embarrassed to, once again, have to endure the frat-boy antics of Obama supporters.”
Ha! and the Moveon website was founded specifically for Billie Jo Clinton there.....
She lost the caucuses because there is no ballot box to stuff. Dead people and illegal alliens don’t show up at caucuses.
Feeding frenzy. The sharks are eating their own.
Wow!
I need to go to Sam’s Club for more popcorn.
Sometimes irony is a beautiful thing. It was moveon.org that was established to protect the rapist president from impeachment.
Well, well, well, look what’s come home to roost. heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh
Time to call the waaaaaaaambulance. If moron.org were supporting her majesty, that would be ok, though.

The moral of Frankenstein, like all morals, is lost on her, but she IS famous for posing for the cover illustration.
Yeh, well Moveon is pretty gross.
There are just too mnay people eagar to support an empty suit, and alot of folks who just hate Hillary. It isn’t really that complicated. Dems are stooopid
“Moveon.org endorsed [Sen. Barack Obama] — which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down,”
Yeah, it’s Soros’ money.
Intriguing.
I think that this provides some real insight into the core of Obama’s supporters.
They are radical, code Pink crazies, far beyond anything seen in serious presidential candidates before, ever. Even the Dem party is afraid of them. I know that serious Dem politicos despise these folks as borderline insane, with nearly cult-like belief systems. They try to stay away from them, at all costs. When they don’t, the encounters are strained, awkward and sometimes downright frightening.
The interesting thing is how well Obama, his staff and his campaign blend with these folks. Like birds of a feather.
Obama must be exposed as the unsuitable radical that he is. Even Carter, a mere incompetent, had nothing on this guy. The Clintons know this better than most, which is why she’s staying in. They can’t believe that the press is keeping up their support of someone so far out of the mainstream.
She has been somewhat screwed by this process.
The Hussein Obama folks are totally ruthless. I expect him to win in November because they’re slicker than Slick Willey ever thought about being.
Hussein can lie all he wants and the media is fine with it.
I thoroughly believe Obama won all those caucus states through intimidation and guile.
On Fox News now.
Barry Hussein or his folks slick? Have you been listening lately? It seems like the only reason he opens his mouth is to put his foot in!
The pro-Hillary and the anti-Obama and the just-for-the-fun-of-it media are more than happy to repeat his words. The man's support has fallen substantially in recent weeks.
Of course, it's still a long ways to the convention in August. Anything can happen.
I think McCain can win just by keeping out of the Circus. Of course, McCain does have a serious case of foot in mouth disease himself. He sometimes cannot resist alienating people who would otherwise support him.
The democrat internal Hate Fest...who coulda guessed that would happen, especially after the damage the MoveOn’ers managed to do in CT for the D Party! Wonder who else will become a Lieberman democrat. The revolution! has begun in the Party of Hatred, RIP Democrats...
While the statement is technically correct, it doesn't begin to describe the agenda of either facist.
Nnnnggg!!! Frankenstein hate people who compare him to Hillary. Nobody that ugly (except Helen Thomas).
There are just too mnay people eagar to support an empty suit, and alot of folks who just hate Hillary. It isn’t really that complicated.
No, it isn’t. Put me in the latter category.
MM, wouldn't it be funny if Hillary picks up on what you figured out. Unfortunately, she can't exactly expose methods of cheating at fundraising.
Just a sample of what we can look forward to if Barrack Obama is elected as POTUS.
SCARY!
I never thought I would see this. Liberals are crippling the Democrat party. I am really enjoying this.
Contrast this to the Republican 30th Legislative District Caucus. Not only did we say the Pledge of Allegiance, but they also said the following invocation:
Father God,
Thank you for this gathering of Patriots for good.
You have caused us to be here Lord, for our nation and our neighborhoods.
Open the eyes of our hearts Lord, so that we can know the hope that has called us to gather for the cause of freedom.
Help us keep that which is right and make right that which is wrong.
Lead us to righteousness, self-control and judgment.
Our nation needs us as we need you Lord. Help us build relationships that will work for the cause of liberty.
It is only through you Lord, that the Republican Party can be made a light. And that light, the light of men.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
