Yeah, Al Clark, it does make you think. So 9/11 and Hiroshima are the same thing? Shintofascism bombed Pearl Harbor? The scary part of this is that there are a lot of people out there who are this good with Photoshop and yet are unquestioning Beck fans. The danger posed in that combination cannot be overstated.

WaPo: Target Boycott Now “orchestrated by liberal-advocacy group MoveOn.org.”

Filed under: Real America, Failure — admin @ 20:28

This is what I was worried about when I wrote about MoveOn.org’s involvement in the Target gay-rights controversy. I wrote at The Awl:

“Jumping aboard, MoveOn.org launched a petition calling for 150,000 consumers to commit to a boycott. While welcomed by many, there is reason to be wary of MoveOn.org’s particular involvement. For starters, its statement reads “If we don’t push back hard, this will just be the tip of the iceberg. Other corporations will learn that they can pour money into elections to buy the outcome they want.” It essentially lessens the anti-gay rights part of the Target donation outrage in exchange for a focus on a larger battle about the post-Citizens United campaigning world… one in which MoveOn.org’s side benefits greatly. Some, like me, might use a stronger word than “lamentable” to characterize MoveOn’s failure to even once use the term “gay” in its petition”

Now, right-leaning Washington Post finally picks up on the Target story and what do they print?

 ”The campaign against Target was orchestrated by liberal-advocacy group MoveOn.org. It included a note on the retailer’s Facebook page that said, ‘Boycott Target Until They Cease Funding Anti-Gay Politics.’

‘We made Target the target,’ said Ilyse Hogue, the group’s director of public advocacy. Ms. Hogue said MoveOn and its members plan to gin up bad publicity for any company venturing into political campaigning.”

Congratulations to Ilyse Hogue for walking right into that trap. Extra points for your shitty pun. How do we know Hogue isn’t up to speed? WaPo: “Ms. Hogue said MoveOn.org wouldn’t let up until Target stops ‘meddling in our elections.’” Maybe she should hit the FEC database to see where, as I covered at the Awl, Target’s been meddling for a decade.
