Liberal powerhouse MoveOn has a message for the "professional election losers" who run the Democratic Party: "We bought it, we own it, we're going to take it back."
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.
Just who is MoveOn?
Well, according to their website press room:
Michael Moore will Star in MoveOn Town Hall Meetings
MoveOn Members to Bake Back the White House
and, MoveOn is the group that sponsored all those artists that went across the country singing their hatred against President Bush.
They also are notifying us that "members voted to prioritize efforts to remove barriers to voting, such as requiring electronic voting machines to produce paper receipts"
AND they are going after Fox News. Yes, that wascally right-wing Fox News is in the crosshairs once again: They also vowed to pursue ways to create a media counterbalance to right-tilting Fox News.
Don't you think it's funny that liberals, still trying to figure out exactly WHY they lost the election, automatically point their fingers at Fox News, that bastion of right-wing-think-tank-operations, and set their sights on bringing it down.
I mean, after ALL THESE YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS of left-tilting ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Public Access television, NPR....now one channel takes a fair and balanced - yes, I said fair and balanced - approach to the delivery of the news and liberals go crazy.
But I digress...
MoveOn has put Republicans on notice:
Failure Nov. 2 has mobilized Democrats to ensure success the next time
If Republicans, especially the most conservative and retrograde of them, expect liberal democratic, environmental, legal and social justice activists to fade away, they can forget about it.
Tough progressives are recovering quickly from their election disappointment. They are understanding what went wrong with the anemic Kerry-Edwards effort and how poorly managed it was. But most important, they are mobilizing for change and impact.
This actually came from an article in the Albuquerque Tribune, but MoveOn linked to it on their press page.
This guy, Steve Lawrence, really needs help. The counseling type. When writing about Kerry he states:
The candidate, though a combat veteran and hero, chose inexplicably to hide. The candidate, though a profoundly moral man, allowed the so-called "values" debate to be captured by extremists who would crush honest science and have us believe that God is on only their side.
Apparently Lawrence's vision of the future is one great big huge commune with everyone wearing braids and going to the community kitchen for herbal tea and tofu:
The Democratic Party will need new faces, new energy and new spirit to accomplish all this and take back the country. Meanwhile, thousands of local groups across the nation are pushing forward with their own agendas. They are fighting polluters, establishing cooperatives and community agriculture, ensuring that local law enforcement does not abuse its power, providing for those in need, educating us all in new ways of coming together to further our highest values and most compassionate instincts.
This is where we go from here. This is what's next.
Bring it on.
ya, bring it on! I would love to mix it up with you, Johnny....
So there you have it. The Democratic Party is now on notice that it has new owners.
Sorta like a hostile takeover, wouldn't you agree? Why, those Libs are mimicking the very corporations they despise so much...
I say let the party begin...
