MoveOn.org Political Action’s first online candidate forum
Excerpt:
"U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., will be among seven presidential candidates participating in MoveOn.org Political Action’s first online candidate forum, called a “virtual town hall.”
The candidates, also including Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama and Rep. Dennis Kucinich, former Sen. John Edwards and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, will discuss their positions on Iraq and respond to questions from MoveOn members at 7 p.m. April 10. Sen. Chris Dodd also may participate."

My question to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich, and Joe Biden is, "Why are you appearing at an event hosted by what is arguably an anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic hate organization?"
In 2005, MoveOn.org published a derogatory picture of Pope Benedict waving a gavel outside the U.S. Supreme Court. The theme was identital to Thomas Nast's "The Catholics are taking over America" cartoons of the 19th century. (Google on "MoveOn.org" and "Pope Benedict" in image searches to see this cartoon, mostly yellow in color.)
Until it was taken down in disgrace in September 2006, MoveOn's Action Forum, with the full knowledge and approval of the moderators who were exercising editorial control over it, served as a platform for anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, and anti-Evangelical hate speech, with prominent (Republican) African-Americans being denounced as "house slaves." MoveOn Action Forum participants, again with the full knowledge and approval of the moderators, used "Jew" as an epithet for prominent Jewish members of Congress.
Furthermore, MoveOn's own credibility is totally shot as far as "ending the war" goes. Antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan says it fabricated a poll that misrepresented its members' views, and that Eli Pariser is a "wannabee power broker." Does MoveOn exist to serve its 3.2 million rank and file members, or the ambitions of Eli Pariser?
As for Biden, wasn't he the one who effectively called Barack Obama a credit to his race? (He actually said Obama was the "first" clean, articulate African-American candidate to come along, which is essentially the same thing.) Now, that was "mighty white" of him, wasn't it?
