Kerry Hypocrisy

I know these are probably posted everywhere by now, but I want to post them so I have them in the future.

First, the American Thinker finds a smoking gun:
The Kerry campaign currently alleges illegal coordination between the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the Bush campaign. It is therefore doubly startling to find this apparent confession of an illegal link between the Democratic Party and the vastly larger Bush-bashing 527 organization MoveOn.org, which was sent to us by reader Alan Peters:

The Democratic Party is partnering with MoveOn.org, People for the American Way, Campaign for America’s Future, and dozens of other groups representing millions of Americans to organize a massive public mobilization. On Wednesday, May 14, join us by calling and emailing your representatives in Congress to let them know that the majority of Americans oppose more irresponsible tax cuts that go overwhelmingly to the wealthiest sliver of Americans.

This comes from the official-sounding Democratic Party Women?s Vote Center website, carried by the Democrats.org pages.


Second is a Quote of the Day from Lucianne.com:

We will not quickly join those who march on Veteran’s Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands of lives who died for the ‘greater glory of the United States. We will not accept the rhetoric.We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. We will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been able to provide. We will not uphold the traditions which decorously memorialize that which is base and grim.
-John F. Kerry, Epilogue to “New Soldier” (MacMillan Publishing, Co, Fall, 1971)

    Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t Moveon.org PAC the actual 527 organization? A direct link to them would be illegal. But a link to Moveon.org wouldn’t be.
    In any case one is illegal and the other is just plain stupid and invites an onslaught of critics.
    Rightly so.

    If any arm of the MoveOn organization is coordinating a call campaign to ask for a specific leglistlative outcome, then it is a political action which is illegal coordination with the Democrats (and vice-versa).
