MoveOn.org is TERRIFIED of CafePress Protest Materials

The first rule of swimming with sharks is not to get bitten. The second rule is that, if you do get bitten, don’t bleed, and under no circumstances must you thrash around. It doesn’t help, and it only serves to attract more sharks. As shown by Michelle Malkin, MoveOn.org is not only bleeding like a stuck pig, it is also thrashing around like a leftist overdosing on drugs.

Dear Ms. Carr,

I am contacting you as the representative of MoveOn.org, and therefore the trademark owned as “MoveOn.org” We have been alerted to an entire page of items on your website that infringes on our registered trademark, and we request that you remove all items immediately, and ask the poster to refrain from shipping any items purchased on this webpage. We also request that you give us contact information for the company / person who posted the items.

This content has certainly NOT been authorized by anyone at MoveOn.org, nor anyone affiliated with MoveOn.

If you look at the item in question at Malkin’s Web site, you will not see MoveOn.org’s blue and red trademark logo anywhere at all. Carrie Olson is therefore a liar (as a MoveOn.org leader, that almost goes without saying), unless she was referring to some other piece of merchandise that Malkin does not show us. ...More to the point, however, Carrie Olson’s strident objection to anti-MoveOn.org protest material shows that she, and probably Eli Pariser and the rest of MoveOn.org’s leaders, are terrified of this kind of media. In other words, fellow sharks, sharpen your teeth because…

It’s feeding frenzy time!

The key point is that MoveOn.org's desperate efforts to censor the CafePress material in question shows that MoveOn.org is absolutely terrified of it. Now that we know what frightens them, let's do as much of it as we can.

We have (so far) produced four images suitable for reproduction at CafePress, and possibly at Zazzle.com and similar services. All are released to the public domain, and anybody is free to copy them. (Please don’t link, as it uses our bandwidth.) Anyone can produce these at CafePress as custom items, without having a CafePress store. Furthermore, let no one think we spend all our time on this. We can churn one of these puppies out in fifteen minutes with Corel PhotoPaint and similar software, and our background in organizational psychology and familiarity with psychological warfare allows us to pack the maximum amount of political striking force into each one.
