23. Yup, they did some good stuff too. So did Code Pink. Both groups have
made public relations blunders that have been an embarrassment to most Democrats.

Correction: Should have been an embarassment to most Democrats.

26. I'm glad for ya. Really. But don't look for your guy, Obama to be
enthusiastically embracing anything that remotely resembles Move-On.

Just sayin'.

29. after listening to john dean, stephanie miller,and barry goldwater jr
i`m no longer calling hillary a "goldwater girl" because ,even though barry goldwater was a republican,he did have principals. hillary`s attacking barack with republican talking points and putting john ahead of barack would have appalled even an old republican bastard such as barry.

28. Not really
She did work for the Children's defense fund, but that was more advocacy than real activism. She does not have the activist roots that Obama had from when he was a community organizer or that Kerry had as an environmentalist and as an antiwar activist.
