Why is MoveOn bashing Hillary?

1. Boy that's a mystery. Could it have something to do with her being a pro-Wall Street

Military Hawk? No - that makes no sense. I'll bet it's because they are biased against women.

3. Because it can?

It's a political group. It's going to take stands, now and then. That's what it does.

5. Maybe if you read the statement from MoveOn you would understand...

...the full statement from Sheyman below:

Secretary Clinton, and any other person thinking about seeking the Democratic nomination in 2016, should think long and hard before embracing the same policies advocated by right-wing war hawks that got America into Iraq in the first place and helped set the stage for Iraq’s troubles today. These hawkish policy stances are also threatening to undermine the peaceful international resolution of Iran’s nuclear program.

Voters elected President Obama in 2008 to bring the war in Iraq to an end. MoveOn members will continue to stand with elected officials who oppose military escalation that could put us back on a path to endless war.

What is MoveOn™?

MoveOn is a community of more than 8 million Americans from all walks of life who use innovative technology to lead, participate in, and win campaigns for progressive change.

For over 14 years, the MoveOn family of organizations have used online tools to lower the barriers to participation in our democracy, so real Americans have a voice in a political process where big money and corporate lobbyists wield too much influence. Increasingly, MoveOn members and progressives are stepping up as the leaders of their own campaigns for social change, using MoveOn’s cutting-edge technology, such as MoveOn Petitions, to tap into our collective people power by enlisting other MoveOn members’ support.

The MoveOn family of organizations is not-for-profit and funded by small dollar donations from our more than 8 million members — no corporate contributions, no big checks from CEOs. And our tiny staff ensures that small contributions go a long way.

10. That is not bashing. Just more or less putting her on notice

that we will not tolerate more of the same old crap that has put us where we are at now.

11. I'm guessing hawking war

. . . isn't their bag.
