MoveOn.org's thin skin

link
MoveOn.org's excessively discounted broadside against General David Petraeus in the New York Times two weeks ago won't rank as its most successful tactic. The full-page nastygram appears not only to have solidified Republican opposition in the Senate for proposals to curtail the Iraq war effort, but also to have shaken the group's rich Hollywood funding base.

So it's not too surprising that the liberal advocacy group would be a mite touchy from all the blowback online, even though it should be used to the abuse by now. So touchy, in fact, that it's been sending out cease-and-desist letters to CafePress, a website that lets people offer custom-designed t-shirts, coffee mugs and the like for sale. Last week it demanded that the site remove eight items, arguing that they violated MoveOn's merchandising trademarks.

Here is the poster child for the far-left, true believers. Moveon.org is doing what most liberals do when they don't like what they hear, they do whatever they can to stop it. Don't worry about the First Amendment, liberals aren't really about free speech or freedom of choice. If you don't think like a hard core liberal, you are wrong, you are spewing hate speech and intolerance, and you need to be stooped. Once again we see how the roles are reversed from how they are portrayed in the media.
