Joe Goes After MoveOn
From Joe's latest campaign email, in which a $15-million candidate (with a $380,000 slush fund) claims poverty:
Update: Just like with every individual or group who dared to support another candidate, it turns out Joe asked for MoveOn's support before he decided to participate in demonizing them (h/t drowsy):
If we don't have the resources to counter Ned's last minute blitz of attacks and distortions, he could quite easily drive up our negatives and eat into our support.
Ned will also be pouring huge amounts of money to run an extensive get out the vote operation, which will be aided by Moveon.org and other interest groups, and his voters are clearly energized.

Dear MoveOn.org Members,
I’m running for President to make America stronger at home, stronger abroad, and to put America back on the great march of social progress from which George W. Bush has led us astray....
You can learn more about my plans at www.joe2004.com. If you agree with me that America needs new leadership to move us forward, I’d ask you to take action today:
1. Cast your vote for me in the MoveOn Primary
2. Sign up with my campaign
3. Email 3 of your friends that you’re supporting me
I know that I can defeat George W. Bush. Why? Because Al Gore and I already did it in 2000. With your support and active involvement in my campaign, I’ll do it again.
Best regards,
Joe Lieberman

"Ned will also be pouring huge amounts of money to run an extensive get out the vote operation, which will be aided by Moveon.org"
I am doing my best to let Jewish, Black, and Catholic voters know all about the vicious hate speech that MoveOn.org welcomed at its Action Forum, along with Lamont's willful association with a known racist and anti-Semite (Al Sharpton). Lamont will get what he deserves on November 7 for knowingly and willfully accepting support from racists, anti-Catholics, and anti-Semites.
I have posted numerous examples at my blog here: http://moveonpleasemoveon.blogspot.com/. As an example, MoveOn's people use the actions of a few rogue priests to proclaim, "The Catholics are raping your children" and the other Action Forum participants voted to agree. The fact that Lamont accepts these people's support says more about his personal ethics and character than "Jew Lieberman" (to use MoveOn's terminology) could ever say about him.
I'm nominally Jewish (although not observant) and I don't like anti-Semitic rats who talk the way real Nazis did in the 1930s. I don't like racists who call our Black soldiers potential mutineers who should be disarmed and segregated. I don't like bigots who sling hate at Catholics the way Thomas Nast did in the 19th century, and I will do all I can (legally and nonviolently) to bring MoveOn.org down for this. If Lamont stands with these people, he can fall with them on Election Day.
