Those great speakers of truth to power at MoveOn.org are the first to complain when they imagine that critics of the war are being 'silenced'. Well now MoveOn is trying to do some silencing of its own, by attempting to stop online store Cafe Press from selling T-shirts and other products parodying the organisation's logo.
If there's one thing the Left hates more than President Bush it's free speech; they know that given the facts, no one except for the insane and the hate-filled will take their side. That's why they have to control the debate via the MSM, academia and the entertainment industry – it's all part of what Gramsci called the “long march through the institutions”.
Michelle Malkin is following developments, and marshalling the resistance. This will hopefully backfire on MoveOn just like the 'Betray Us' ad did, and the more people they alienate the nastier they'll get as they slide into a downward spiral of self-destruction.

Hi,
I really do appreciate mentioning the moveon snaffle. I hope you will participate in the fundraiser at the http://cafepress.com/polistew. Nothing will speak louder than if we can send 1000 kids to summer camp next year.
Another excellent Gramsci link... http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a4c610569be.htm
He came up in my journalism masters classes with reference to how the media allegedly uphold the hegemony of white male corporate interests... There was no mention of the fact that his disciples wish to institute their own hegemonic reign...
