What if we call the parties what they mean .

We will call the Libertarian party the " Mild Mannered Anarchist party , The Republican party the "Democratic party " the Democrat party " Anti-Democratic party " and the Peace and Freedom party the " No Peace or Freedom " party .

Moveon.org is a total far far left political group. They are totally in favor of socialism and are working to take away all your freedoms in favor of this world-view.

Are they a racist group, I do not believe so. However, they are off the edge of reality, really off.

No. They're not racist. They're elitist. Many in the group are really motivated by the President being from Texas and "talking funny", taking that accent as some manifestation of low intelligence. Same sort of knee-jerk reaction occurred when Lyndon Baines Johnson became President after the death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
George Soros is just a well-heeled, modern Pied Piper of Hamblin and he's attracted a lot of "children" with his money. After the election of 2006, when the Democrats regained control of the House and Senate, he was overheard to say: "We bought a party!".

Moveon is not racist by any stretch. They are great people who have done great service to America by working to stop the War on Iraq and the proposed War on Iran. These patriots have done a great deed with their recent ad in the NY Times about General Betray Us.

While I definitely don't agree with them on everything (they are against economic freedom), I definitely agree with them far more than I do the Daily Kos, which is a partisan Democrat hate group that supports the likes of Hillary Clinton (she supports continuing the War on Iraq and the War on Iran) and opposes true opponents of aggressive war such as Ron Paul.

The KKK is not associated with the Democratic Party. I am not racist and neither is MoveOn.org. In what way has MoveOn.org proven itself to be racist? How about denouncing that Conservative propaganda on FreedomsWatch.org?

"The MoveOn family of organizations brings real Americans back into the political process. With over 3.3 million members across America – from carpenters to stay-at-home moms to business leaders – we work together to realize the progressive promise of our country. MoveOn is a service – a way for busy but concerned citizens to find their political voice in a system dominated by big money and big media."

I also don't agree with all they do, But, I do agree with a lot of what they say.. And By the way, Im a Southern Democrat, and have never seen any KKK anywhere around me..

1) the kkk is now associated with the republicans. they stopped supporting the democrats after justices on the supreme court who ruled in favor of 'brown vs. board of education' were democrats.

2) moveon.org is terribly mistaken. that does not make them racist.

3) the way you put it, it is equally rational to say "everyone knows the westboro baptist church is conservative, is the heritage foundation another loony republican group?"

MoveOn has nothing to do with race. Check out their website for yourself.

It is an organization that works for progressive causes. If you agree with it, you can join. If you don't, you can join another organization that you do agree with. It's no different from the NRA or the Christian Coalition (who, by the way, has joined with MoveOn in two campaigns).

Contrary to what some of your uninformed responses say, most of their goals are things a majority of Americans would agree with. For instance:

- election reform so all our votes count
- health care reform
- restoring our constitutional rights, like habeas corpus
- caring for the environment
- ending the war in Iraq

These are not weird, "far out" ideas or socialism, as some claim.

I am not sure one ought to call Moveon.org a "Democratic racist organization". I think it may be bipartisan but I do think that a lot of dems claim it - so does John McCain and he is republican.

They have their good points. I just don't like the way they do their ads. I've had about all of the rhetoric I can handle for one lifetime from all parties and organizations. Whatever happened to just stating the case without calling names. It only gives the opposition fuel to take the attention away from the goal. Where do you get they are racists? They let their members vote on the agenda they pursue and none of the points involved race. No, I'm not a member.

Racist? I don't think so, they hate all true patriots with equal venom, regardless of skin color. But they're exerting a great deal of influence over the Democrats, which shows their true colors and goes far to explain their radical views.
