A Mighty Democrat Has Struck Out (Bob Casey & Moveon.org)

$168,591. By any standard that's a good sized campaign contribution. It may also be turning out to be one more hurdle in an increasing series of self-created stumbling blocks in Pennsylvania State Treasurer Robert Casey, Jr.'s campaign to oust Republican Senator Rick Santorum.

Records on file with the Federal Election Commission reveal that MoveOn.org, the far-left interest group, has "bundled" $168,591 for Casey's Senate campaign.

The problem? MoveOn is increasingly being accused of pushing an anti-Semitic agenda, as the folks over at Israpundit have documented in great detail here here. The language from participants in MoveOn's "Action Forum" has been so raw ("jew Lieberman," "media-owning Jewish pigs" and much more -- and worse) that it drew the ire of Abraham Foxman, the head of the Anti-Defamation League. While MoveOn's Eli Pariser eventually apologized and removed the offending posts, articles (as opposed to reader comments) that charged Jews in the Bush administration with "dual loyalties" to America and Israel have also appeared. The thrust of these pieces is that Jewish Americans in government cannot be trusted to put America's interests first.

Didn't see this posted anywhere.

So much for Casey portraying himself as a "moderate" when he's taking money from the likes of Moveon.org.

No wonder he doesn't want to debate Santorum.

Oh, and for all you MoveOn.org types that troll on FR, this is a

DEFEATISM FREE ZONE!

Gradually the Left in America is coming out as the anti-semites and racists that they have always been.

[Always Right]

Move-on.org is trying to overcome their antisemitism label by hiring Mel Gibson as their new PR guy.

Real Democrats will eventually realize that to be associated with the likes of MoveOn.org and DailyKos that they are indeed enlisting the support of racists and intolerant bigots and will find them about as pleasing as toilet paper stuck to the bottom of their shoes.

Omission repaired.

Man, I hope we can make something of this in Pennsylvania. Bobby Casey is running a "pig in a poke" campaign. Ed Rendell is sucking up all the honest Democrat cash and so Casey has to take tainted money from the Jew-haters at Moveon.org. There really needs to be some advertising around this in Philadelphia.

it drew the ire of Abraham Foxman, the head of the Anti-Defamation League

That's amazing, Foxman criticising leftists.

It is pretty amazing, isn't it? Maybe Abe's gotten a taste of what these cretins are really all about.

[Tax-chick]

Perhaps next he'll notice that Moslems don't like Jews.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Real Democrats are now Republicans.

I just spewed coffee on my monitor!

I'd be willing to be my house that if you put Casey in a line-up, more than 80% of the people who say they're going to vote for him wouldn't be able to pick him out.
It'll be a sad day in America if "do-er" such as Santorum is ousted by a "never-done-anyting" like Casey.

[threeleftsmakearight]

that is "bet" my house.

[Tax-chick]

You might find you enjoyed being your house, if you gave it a try.

Never fear. In the end, I say Santorum by 5%. We've got to work our butts off between now and election day to make sure that happens.

Moveon.org is part of the UFPJ coalition. They also have been major participants in ANSWER and World Can't wait demonstrations.

All the DUdummies have their morning breakfast at MoveOn.org and DailyKos, then head over to the DUmp and explode into their rascist tirades.

It's a big inbreeding thing thay have going on.

And never forget Indymedia... The DU'ers head to Indymedia for lunch.
