MoveOn.org upset with Obama, launches campaign to drive liberal agenda on its own

MoveOn.org upset with Obama, launches campaign to drive liberal agenda on its own Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller 41 mins ago

Left-wing MoveOn.org isn’t happy with President Barack Obama. In a fundraising e-mail sent to supporters on Monday, the group hinted that Obama has abandoned it in political fights in Washington and across the country.

“It’s pretty clear by now that we can’t wait for Barack Obama, or the Democrats, to save us,” MoveOn.org said in the e-mail to supporters. “But the one thing that might turn things around is an honest-to-God mass movement—something on the scale of the civil rights movement or the antiwar movement—built around a vision of an economy that works for all of us, not just the top 2%.” (Florida Tea Party groups says liberal MoveOn group also responsible for hefty bill)

The group is trying, apparently, to raise $1 million “for one of the biggest things” it says that it has ever done: “joining with dozens of other progressive organizations to lift up a new, grassroots movement to rescue the economy and bring the American Dream within reach for all Americans.”

The MoveOn.org campaign is based on the idea that Republican and conservative policies are causing “pain,” and will include a nationwide door-to-door tour in July. The liberal group says it will use “culture, art, direct action and mutual aid” to achieve “change” from the local to the federal level.

I don’t remember the extremist, leftwing piggies at MorOns.org ever running for anything. Those Soros freeloaders know what they can do with their “liberal” agenda.

1 MILLION is nothing to Soros..MoreOn will later say they did raise it when Soros just went to the ATM and withdrew the money.

they’ve got in in their heads that they need a “mass social movement” (i.e. one of those mobs like they have in Greece) in order to put their agenda over the top.

“But the one thing that might turn things around is an honest-to-God mass movement....”

Shouldn’t that be “honest-to-Gaia” or the Goddess or somesuch?

Remember that this George Soros’ baby.

So MoveOn.org will be backing who ever runs against Obama?

Nothing to see here but a fund raising drive.

Soros remains Obamas massa.

We’ve already got one, it’s called the Tea Party.

“joining with dozens of other progressive organizations to lift up a new, grassroots movement to rescue the economy and bring the American Dream within reach for all Americans.”

I can’t wait to see this plan in print.

The only folks I have ever heard use the words “we are living the american dream”, were a leftist couple who were bilking the “system” for all they could get, starting with disability payments, and going on from there.

Obama is a Communist. He can not admit it yet.

Obama has ticked off the rank and file left. But MoveOn is now an establishment Dem organization. This should be seen as an attempt to both draw energy and money away from true activist Dem organizations that could actually do harm if given enough resources AND position Obama to effectively triangulate going into 2012.

The plan is to have millions of these far left looney tunes demonstrate and demand more cash from the taxpayers.
