Indeed. Not only did MoveOn defame a distinguished Army officer before even bothering to hear what he had to say, it is arguably an anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic hate group. Last year, MoveOn had to take down its Action Forum because of a scandal involving its knowing and willful promotion of hate speech against Jews and Catholics, and racist comments like "Rice and Powell are house slaves." MoveOn itself published a derogatory photomanipulation of Pope Benedict that, if circulated widely enough--and copies are circulating on the Internet--will cost the MoveOn Democrats the vote of every single Catholic Democrat next year, along with the vote of every decent American who has no use for 19th century-style "the Catholics are taking over America" bigotry. The Action Forum, under MoveOn's full editorial control, included delightful comments like "The Catholics are raping your children" and "the Jews control all the media," and even worse material. Obama's abstention was, by the way, deliberate. He said in effect that he wouldn't dignify the Cornyn amendment by voting on it. No surprise from a phony smile on an empty suit who poses arm in arm with the prominent racist and anti-Semite Al Sharpton. Re: “You are known by the company you keep.” Indeed.
