   What’s ironic about the endorsement is that MoveOn was originally created to help Bill Clinton avoid getting kicked out of office. Now, they’ve turned on his wife.

   Nice to know that the Republicans aren’t the only ones gouging at one another.

   The most liberal Senator of 2007 gets the support of MoveOn.org… You don’t say… No. No way… Really??

   There was never any doubt in my mind which way they were going to go on this …

   Obama voted against the war …

   Hillary voted for the war …

   End of discussion … Slam Dunk Time …

   Too Funny. Can somebody remind me why Moveon was founded in the first place? (HMMM Looks like they moved on.)

    Not in the least surprised. Their support doesn’t say much for Obama, does it, if he’s their choice.

    I thought that MoveOn.org was only allowed to promote/endorse issues and not endorse specific political candidates, at least in accordance with the way it is chartered and charitable donation based IRS rules.

    Am I missing something here?

    my thoughts, too. but then realized they were going for the voting against the war thingy.

    as far as being the kiss of death? not so sure on this, as they have the youth vote. we are in deep doo doo, if mccain wins the nomination.

    Even more ironic -

    WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a measure condemning MoveOn.org for a newspaper ad it ran last week attacking Gen. David Petraeus.

    Sens. Joe Biden and Barack Obama were absent from the vote, though Obama had voted 20 minutes earlier on a Democratic effort to circumvent the amendment. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Chris Dodd voted against the measure.

    They turned on his “wife” because she is not him. She has no charisma, charm, bubbly smile, or even the ability to capture an audience. All she has is socialism and the cackle.

    Surprised?

    I can only assume this actually helps Hillary. As the nutroots go more and more towards Obama, Hillary looks more centrist by comparison, and won’t be as beholden to them in the general.

    God, is this election cycle a conservative political junkies worst nightmare or what???

    Shoot me. Please.

    The “no campaigning” rule applies to 501(c)(3) organizations, which generally are your typical public charities or private foundations. Not sure what MoveOn is (either another type of 501(c) org. or a 527 organization) but it is definitely not a 501(c)(3), which is why donations to it would not be eligible for a charitable donation.

    So they are not breaking any law in endorsing a candidate.

    I fail to see how this hurts Obama. A liberal, anti-war organization supporting Obama? Sounds like a perfect match. The media will play this as the biggest endorsement evah!

    It just does not hurt him – sorry.

    You have to remember this fact —> this endorsement will only hurt him among logical thinkers. There’s no way it could hurt his position among liberals in this case.

    Put that away for a future debate question… ( asked by the GOP nominee, no media host would dare )

    Is there a chance that Moo-ve.On’s endorsement of Obama is a classic liberal mis-direction attempt? You know, kind of like McCain’s outright lie about Romney supporting a timetable for troop withdrawal, on the eve of the Florida primary?

    The timing of this wacko endorsement is very curiuos to me…has MoveOn ever shown Obama kindness in the last 6 months? I don’t recall.

    I see this, and the one word response that comes to mind is …. pshaw.

    Moron.org is among the world’s most inconsequential organizations (just ask Ned Lamont). President Elect Yoko Ono wins the donkey nomination because there are far more Bathtub Boys than there are New Kids on the Block ERRRRR she has the older Americans’ vote, and they outnumber Barry’s fans (the young and new to politics).

    *out*

    This will help him. For no other reason than the Soros money and/or advertising it will funnel into his campaign via Moveon.

    In other news, several shockwaves were caught on geologic recording station computers today. The phenomenon took place when Bill and Hillary Clinton were informed that MoveOn.org endorsed Barack Obama,causing their heads to simultaneously explode like Mount Vesuvius during the destruction of Pompeii.

    Duke of Pronia #29 thanks for the great after lunch laugh.

    I’ll be looking for the hand print on the face of “she who must not be named.” That is going to be one slap in the face it will take a lot of makeup to cover.

    What has Obama, Hillary, and MoveOn said about that dreadful bombing by the muslims today? Did they say its Bush’s fault or are they all out to buy their prayer rugs and burkas? I wish I knew how the demos would cope with a Muslim invasion.

    Something stinks here. While national polls show clear liberal support for Cigarman’s shrew the group[?] organised to propagate a defence of the womanizer-in-cheif abandons his shrew? I just don’t get it!

    Maybe Shrillary made Soros mad somehow, or perhaps Code Pinko made inroads there. She sure seems to be making a lot of people unhappy lately.
