Moveon.org is an innovation of a progressive movement in American politics that will continue to be influential for decades. The movement is both grass-roots
and funded by billionaires.
Remember the prediction that Al Gore endorsing Howard Dean would pay off for Gore in exactly the way Nixon's endorsement of Goldwater in 1964 did? The degree of success that the Conservative movement has had, born of the anger that propelled Goldwater, may in the future be enjoyed by this new movement, born in the anger that propelled Dean. Just because Goldwater won the nomination, but lost the 1964 election in a landslide, whereas Howard Dean did not even win the 2004 nomination does not mean that this analogy will not be incredibly telling.
You cannot prevent such movements from coming to fruition, but you should try to counter them as effectively as you can. Never think that these people are not smart.

I don't want to prevent movements from coming to fruition.
What I would like to see happen is the people here at FR get more organized.
We are in agreement, but we are not very organized.

I never say never.
And nor do I confuse the occasional appearance of evidence that a member of the lunatic left-wing-fringe-dwelling pseudo-intellectual psychotic verbalized-bowel-bubbles-brigades is demonstrating a degree of lizard-brained animal cunning with the idea any one of the evil bastards is "smart."
Dangerous to a man, it is true.
But, also to a man -- but the world's most deadly dangerous dullards.
