Posted: 4/18/2008 8:14:36 AM | what is the deal with this organization? I use the term organization very loosely. they don't appear to be either organized or directional. if you go to their homepage, they have some sort of petition to whine about the ABC debate. a debate where their candidate, barack obama, looked like a grade schooler. they complain about ABC asking character questions and not focusing on the issues. here is a quote from their website.
"Moderators George Stephanopolous and Charlie Gibson spent the first 50 minutes obsessed with distractions that only political insiders care about."
what are they saying? that the public should only know about certain things? I also find this ironic considering that on the same homepage, they have a section called "10 things you need to know about john mccain." this includes a list of 10 things that try to make him look like a horrible person. things that attack his character, things they claim not to do. they actually have the nerve to call him out for being one of "the richest" people in a senate full of millionaires. new flash moveon, barack obama made over $4 million dollars last year so you can include him in that list. also, if he continues at that rate, by the time he is mccain's age, he is going to be worth a hell of a lot more money.
also, where was the outcry during the CNN republican debate? the debate that talked about only the issues that would make the candidates look bad. every question was either about gay rights or whether or not they believed in the bible.
I guess my questions is this, does anyone take these people seriously? do they actually have members as they claim, or do they just get a bunch of money from george soros? I can't believe anyone actually taking these hypocritical whack jobs seriously. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 10:50:02 AM | | A couple of years ago 'Penn and Teller' conducted an experiment with university students presenting them with a petition to ban Hydrogen Dioxide. They obtained several hundred signatures. I think radical ideas should be taken seriously, especially when a lot of money is behind it. If we don't we might find ourselves having to replace all of our light bulbs with mercury filled ones that poison the air we breathe. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:06:54 AM | because you made this comment:

Oh and that was funny on penn and teller. they even got the people who were host the event sign it. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:11:51 AM | | I made that comment for a reason though. I don't care what mccain made. I don't care what obama made. but why does moveon attack mccain for making millions when the candidate they support makes millions as well? it's the typical far left liberal democrat agenda of painting anyone with money as evil! god it is so freaking annoying. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:17:26 AM | | I work with MoveOn from time to time when it suits me to. I have seen more done with concerted effort by MoveOn on a grass roots level than any other method I have ever seen. We have done some cool stuff. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:31:30 AM | | that's cool if you have done some work for them. I just can't figure them out though. I mean, they have a petition to give ABC for the debate. they had some sort of petition to hold republicans responsible if they accused the democrats of cutting and running. I mean, what is their point is my question I guess. media matters is another one. they just sit there and try to get people fired from talk radio. why not put some good liberals on the radio to make fun of the conservatives. stop going to the government and tattling. the methods they use are similar to a child losing a fight and telling a parent. I don't think they have too much grassroots stuff to do since soros is a multi billionaire. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:40:14 AM | | I believe the questions is "does anyone take moveon.org seriously?" I would be happy to give my opinion.. NO ! I can't even begin to take a site like that seriously it's mostly for entertainment purposes.. kinda like the DU. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:41:58 AM | its their methodologies that I find that works, and why I said I work with them when it suits me. I don't agree with every battle and won't play if I think its stupid, which I agree with the ABC one, it is stupid, but I have seen MoveOn pull several thousand of people together to take action in less than 24 hours.
MoveOn was my contact to participate in the world wide anti-war demonstration that went down in February 2003 where 8-12 million people demonstrated.
...do you often talk about stuff you have no idea about G6? | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:43:11 AM | MoveOn is a very scary group of unhinged far left radical socialists. Think George Soros.
These unstable whack jobs need to be watched. Ignoring them is akin to sticking our heads in the sand.
Just like it is important to take a glance at that DailyKos site every few days to see what the radicals are up to, it's important to watch MoveOn.
Scary how many Americans enjoy all the wonderful things this country has built and offers yet attacks the very framework that gives them anything they want.
MoveOn. Home of offspring of people with bad parenting skills.
MoveOn
DailyKos
Code Pink
Barak Hussein Obama with those Terrorist links (Ayers for one)
Don't ignore these nuts. | |

I never heard of it until someone once tried to say in another thread that I was a member. So, I checked the site out just to see who they were speaking of, after reviewing the site.
I can most diffently say I don't see why anyone would take such a site seriously,
I don't! | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:49:12 AM | | I mean, it's their right to say and do what they want. I just choose to laugh. it's kind of like listening to hannity. I listen to him every now and then to see what the idiots are saying. I go to moveon to see what the idiots on the other side are saying. I find it all quite fun! | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:51:43 AM | ...yeah, those groups would be scary to members of the John Birch Society....
True Majority is another group I've worked with...
...ya gotta watch out for all the little Hitlers out there, you know, the ones taking away our civil rights in the name of freedom......
there is a big difference between a nationaly sydicated talk show and a internet based, sign up only, action network. I don't know how you compare the 2. I can't think of anything that I've heard Hannity say that made me want to do anything, I find MoveOn somewhat motivating but I'm already doing way more than what they could inspire me to do.....so spread your fear longbow, it is what you on the "right" do so well.... | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 11:59:52 AM | oh, I don't compare the two. I don't think they are the same, I am just saying that I listen to, or visit the site, for the same reasons. they both annoy me. I live to be annoyed! they can be a sign up only network, but they have a LOT of power. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 12:01:03 PM | Mr JM,
Billary was once asked about Moveon...she said she was proud of it and her work with Geroge to luanch that site..it was set up to deflect all of Our Lil Billy's women and their charging him with groping assulting and forcing him self on some while helping others with their careers if they past the cigar test!
So Moveon is a joke.... it's nothing more then the Liberals platforum and all their Kooks.....to attack the right and force the left to be their puppets!
These debates should be about Character and Issues...we have a right to know everything about any candidate that may sit in the highest office! The only ones who argue that are the ones who have something to hide! | |

I have no problem with one side attacking another. I get annoyed when they try to silence the other side by getting people kicked off the radio and crap like that. not a fan of censorship. | |
