An apparently earnest and perturbed member of MoveOn.org left one of the great comments of all-time at Sound Politics yesterday, at #19 of this post discussing his group's follies. I reproduce it in full:
I am a member of MOVE ON and since the ad came out our membership has grown by millions. You neo cons have no right to call anyone anything. Baby bush has done nothing but lie, to get us into war, about winning the war,(MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, May 1, 2001), renditions, torture, spying, wiretapping, and signing statements. All you neo con christians with your right to life, all life is sacred, until that person doesn't pray to your god, or doesn't agree with your message of hate, or doesn't vote for your brand of fascism, then KILL them, those lees than humans. You people are the biggest haters since the KKK which you probably are a member and leader. Our country has spent the last six years being run into the ground by your religious fanatical right wing. Liberal crusher, your kind has made us strong.
I could say more, but why trample on such glory?

What moveon and their ranting minions don't understand is that most Americans, in spite of their misgivings about Bush, do not like extremism. The nutroots, puffed up with poll numbers and a favorable election result have deluded themselves into believing most Americans agree with their far left outlook.

Posted by: SeattleJew on September 25, 2007 08:34 AMI caught it during lunch and blew gatorade out my nose listening to them describe the typical moonbat in all of our live's.
Last week I came face to face with one who is a former friend- he didn't know a single damn local issue but he knew Republican BAD and Democrat GOOD and he could sure recite the left wing talking points.
He's been unemployed for over a year- and that is Bush's fault too because the economy sucks in his opinion. All of the jobs must have been taken by the Bible beaters the week he went to Burning Man.
Kooks, Kuacks, and Kunts Klan-
Oops, that's an extra K!

He hasn't gotten back to me on that, yet.

Posted by: dinesh on September 25, 2007 12:01 PM"Nearly everyone who defends the war or hates MoveOn welcomed the opportunity to shift the debate from the carnage in Iraq to a controversial liberal group."
mike: republicans are great. democrats are evil. feel better?
Posted by: dinesh on September 25, 2007 12:49 PMThere you have it, Bruce, dinesh, Cato and Giffy. You are in the minority on this issue in the whole USA; anyways, as per the Rasmussen Reports. That definitely puts you where you belong- on the left wing fringes.
I don't see why you can't go against the ad, which was not an issue ad but an ad against a great man who is a soldier.
Even your old stooge- you know, the general that provides excellent sound bites on Maher, Kos, etc. etc.- couldn't find anything bad to say about Petraeus. What right do you?
Posted by: swatter on September 25, 2007 12:49 PMWhich would require reflecting on the truth of much of what was said in the rant. Do you dismiss those truths because of some of the hyperbole? Then you have examples aplenty from so many other postings made on either side of the debates that have raged on here and elsewhere.

Every group is going to have their share of extreme cases and whack jobs, but I have found more intolerance and bigotry among the supposedly diversity loving tolerant secular progressive types. No, that is not a scientific survey, just my personal experience. They, in my opinion, tend to demean, demonize and dispise those that don't swallow 100% the party line. I guess Cindy Sheehan will run against Speaker Pelosi and the comments against Rep. Baird for his opinions.
3. Many on the left or secular prgreesives, in my opinion tend to run on a steady diet of hate. Goodness, is their any joy in your bleek world?

Posted by: WVH on September 25, 2007 01:33 PMthe energy spent on denouncing moveon.org allows republicans and others who find the ad distasteful to change the subject and distract themselves and others from focusing on the multitude of issues created by this horribly mismanaged war and the incompetent civilian administration prosecuting it.
what's that saying about fiddling while rome burns.....
Posted by: dinesh on September 25, 2007 04:02 PMTHAT was the point. And I believe it is a VERY important point to make. You may disagree with that and that is your perogative.
Posted by: Bill H on September 25, 2007 04:23 PMThat's "American." You know... with a capitol A?
That said, as bad as the moveon ad was, the sad truth of the matter is that, most likely, we ain't seen nuthin' yet.
Posted by: Hinton on September 25, 2007 08:40 PMIf all life isn't sacred how come all these moveon screwballs are so obsessed with the casualty count in Iraq? Why get so worked up? Just another life down the tube, so what?
This Meyers dinkus is a 21st century proto-liberal. So full o piss and bile that he can't even capitalize properly. I can see him at the keyboard now, typing furiously with two fingers, spittle running down his chin.
While the mullahs in Iran are executing gays, dishing out female castration and fabricating atomic weapons, this guy's biggest worry is "neo-cons" and Christians. Funny how after that little tirade @ 19 he's calling "neo-cons" hateful. Nothing like a little hubris to top off the day.
The few moderates on the left, and the Democrats who have to smile and grit their teeth, are frightened by what Soros hath wrought. This is the kind of blatant anti-American nutiness that doesn't sit well with the average Joe. And even the Average Joe in Seattle. Most people have very little political awareness, but you can bet that they'll remember that some Leftwing Nut group ran an ad bashing a general before he even had a chance to speak. And they will probably also remember that folks who calls themselves friends of free speech, entertained a madman at a previously respectable US university.
The truth is that Dinesh and the other Left posters here sure want this to be only about conservative distraction, because they know that if the Nut Left keeps this behavior up (which they most likely will) that they will be doomed next fall when all of this stuff gets replayed as ads. Ads reminding people of what the Left, and the Democrats who tacitly acknowledge this behavior, really stand for.
Posted by: Jeff B. on September 25, 2007 09:32 PMCould their venom be considered an attempt to distract attention from the point that we anti-idiotarians just scored?
Posted by: FT on September 26, 2007 06:47 AMWow! Bush gave the Mission Accomplished speech, not only before the war started, but BEFORE 9/11?!?!?
Must have been one of those pesky time warps. They get you every time.
