NY23: MoveOn.org Slams Hoffman As 'Sarah Palin Wing' of GOP
When the Soros-backed online group MoveOn.org wants to strike contribution-inducing fear in the hearts of its liberal e-mail list, they know whose name to use:
Warning: A bizarre House race in upstate New York could end up giving a big national boost to Sarah Palin and the far right, and endangering health care reform in the House.
Here's how: In a three-way race, Doug Hoffman, a right-wing third party candidate, has gotten Sarah Palin's endorsement and become a cause célèbre for the far-right fringe. . . .
The right-wing teabagger activists who spent the summer disrupting town halls are showering Hoffman with donations and volunteers. And, unfortunately, it's working. . . .
If Hoffman wins, teabaggers and hate groups will have their own representative in Congress. The far right will be emboldened. And a victory for an anti-reform teabagger just before the big health care votes will send exactly the wrong message to Democrats who are nervous about their own re-election. . . .
It would dramatically strengthen the Sarah Palin wing of the Republican party. . . .
Et cetera, et cetera, and the e-mail directs recipients to this donations page. Former Clinton aide Paul Begala has also sent out a fundraising e-mail for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, warning about the "tea party crowd," invoking Palin's name, and depicting the Hoffman campaign as evidence that the "inmates have taken over the asylum."
Panicky liberals -- the kind of free publicity money can't buy! Of course, the Hoffman candidacy has also stirred fear in the hearts of some Republican worry-warts, but that's to be expected. The hand-wringers always have to have something to wring their hands about.

She must really scare the sh^t out of the Moveon weenies. The effete limp wrists at Moveon go even more wobbly at even the mention of her name LOL. What scares them? That she's a good looking woman? Guess they find women - especially good looking woman - icky! Are they headquartered in San Fransisco? Just wonderin'.

Fantastic! MoveOn bringing Sarah Palin's name to the forefront once again should guarantee Hoffman's win. Keep it up MoveOn!!

MoveOn.org uses the word "teabaggers" which is the word male homosexuals use for the anal male to male sex act. "Teaparty" is a nonsexual word which refers to the Boston Tea Party which started the Revolution which created the United States. Anyone who describes the teaparty movement as "teabaggers" is slurring the teaparty persons. The deliberate attempted confusion by MoveOn.org is a deliberate slur.

"the far-right fringe"
Translation: anyone who is serious about restoring individual freedom and respect for the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
