MoveOn's Hostile Takeover

Supposedly non-partisan MoveOn.org has decided that they are the rightful "owners" of the Democratic Party. MoveOn to Democratic Party: 'We Own It'


A scathing e-mail from the head of MoveOn's political action committee to the group's supporters on Thursday targets outgoing Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe as a tool of corporate donors who alienated both traditional and progressive Democrats.

"For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists than they are to the Democratic base," said the e-mail from MoveOn PAC's Eli Pariser. "But we can't afford four more years of leadership by a consulting class of professional election losers."


You can find as good a take on this as you will ever find over at The Moderate Voice. How To Destroy Your Political Party In One Easy Lesson

I will just add that the lunacy factor is an ever growing influence on the left. You can see it in the ravings of Al Gore or the persistant claims that ABC, CBS and CNN are out to get the Democrats. Why is that? Why, they are all run by corporations!! (*devestation* *shock* *awe* *horror*)

For a growing number of people on the left sounding like Coast-to-Coast AMers, Lyndon LaRoucheies, or mutant left-wing dittoheads is some sort of virtue.

Yeah, some virtue.
