MoveOn Hits $1 Million Mark In Anti-Lieberman Campaign

In less than two days time, the progressive action group MoveOn.org has raised more than $1 million for its campaign against Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.).

The five-million-member group launched a fundraising drive on Tuesday after the Connecticut independent successfully killed key provisions from the Senate's health care reform legislation.

The goal was set, initially, for $400,000. By 1:22 p.m. on Thursday they were past the $1 million mark and climbing. The money will go to an ad campaign against Lieberman and into a fund to oppose his re-election in 2012.,

The massive and quick response to the plea reflects just how much progressive frustration there is about the man who, eight years ago, was the Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Additionally, on Thursday, MoveOn.org put out a comic web ad using sock puppets to mock Lieberman as a spotlight-seeking political diva -- and his colleagues in the Democratic caucus as spineless enablers of his behavior.

The spot, which is not part of the broad multimedia ad campaign that the group will launch with its fundraising drive overhaul, has Lieberman at one point demanding that he be given four inches in height in exchange for his vote -- a request that was, naturally, granted.

instead of the various Democratic Party acronyms.

Don't want to hear the Obama administration directing them anymore

Won't call for a primary challenger to Obama , quite yet... We were disappointed when he came through with a lousy Trade Ambassador last December... We are still move on members, still they did not control our vote.. We lobbied them for Kucinich with our votes last Summer during the primaries... If you want a sense of who a politician is beholden to.. Look to their advisers...
We did not like Austan Goolsbie back then, and we are unsettled by Treasury Secretary Geithner now.. Still . lets lobby and hope for the best, because we think Obama has decent instincts. ?

I don't get it. Maybe people want to give and don't even know where to put the cash? :shrug:

Move On made it clear, your funds would support a specific attack ad. And not go into their general budget. You got to choose which ad your funds supported..
