Move Away from Move On!

By Edward

For several years I have found MoveOn.org to be an inspirational anti-war group, but the past few weeks they have been an embarrassment to all Americans with their attacks upon President Bush and General Petraeus. I subscribe to the MoveOn newsletter, and even considered hosting an anti-war rally in San Dimas, but now I want no part of this radical group and will remove my name from their newsletter subscription.

Last week a very dear friend contacted me regarding a threatened lawsuit over what MoveOn considered copyright infringement over t-shirts listed on Café Press. The four banned slogans are pictured for the first time ever, here on this blog. Why is it, MoveOn organization can dish it out to our president and general, but feels threatened by simple slogans against them?

Jon Healey, from the Los Angeles Times, wrote a nice article about my good friend on Opinion Los Angeles. I wonder if this might mean MoveOn won’t be advertising in the Los Angeles Times now?

Move On used the First Amendment when they smeared the General's name in the NY Times. However, they cite trademark infringement when it comes to anyone using theirs to criticize them on a t-shirt. It wasn't. Trademark infringement would be if the shopkeepers were selling it as "official" moveon merchandise, which it's clear by the lack of their logo and also the message that it was a protest message.

Carrie Olson, COO of MoveOn also demanded the shopkeepers personal information, which amounts to bullying and threats. Fortunately, CafePress refused to give them that information. I guess to MoveOn, the First Amendment is only for the rich.
