MoveOn.org Call for Change: work through Democratic Party instead

If you want to do get-out-the-vote calls today, we recommend that you call on behalf of your local Democratic Party but not MoveOn.org.

MoveOn.org has disgraced itself, and the Democratic Party, by knowingly and willfully allowing its Action Forum to be used as a platform for the most vicious imaginable anti-Semitic, racist, and anti-Catholic hate speech, such as blood libels of Jews (saying that the Talmud commands Jews to "slaughter" non-Jews), deriding prominent African-Americans as "house slaves," and calling the Pope a Nazi. A liberal Jewish Democrat (Lantos) was derided as a "whiny arrogant Jew" while Jews were accused of controlling the media and being disloyal to the United States-- the same kind of material that was used to perpetrate the Holocaust. African-American soldiers were smeared as potential mutineers who should be disarmed and segregated, while "Catholic Pedophiles of America" and "The Catholics are raping your children" was hurled at Catholics.

MoveOn.org tried to deny knowing about the hate speech, which they called a conservative plot to smear the organization. The problem is that MoveOn's own FAQ page for the Action Forum shows that MoveOn.org knew about the hate speech and chose to let it stand, while censoring other postings. There is additional proof as well, in the form of correspondence and eyewitness testimony.

MoveOn.org is a liability to the Democratic Party.

P.S. I'm voting for an equal number of Democrats and Republicans today. Were it not for one Democrat accepting MoveOn's endorsement, I'd be voting for more Democrats than Republicans. I don't like the Republican in question all that well but there is no way I am going to vote for someone who knowingly accepts the endorsement of a group like MoveOn.org.
