Now, let's say I was a certain organization. And let's say I had lots of little minions to do things like meta tag searching my name. And let's say that I had the time to send out lots of C&D letters claiming trademark infringement, had the audacity to bandy about some names up of attorneys I really hadn't consulted, and in general, could make your life a living hell if I happened to disagree with you. And let's say I didn't give a hoot about karma, or hadn't ever watched "My Name Is Earl" and learned a thing or two.
But who would do that?
Not me. But a lot of people do. In fact, it seems their cease and desist letter to Google to stop running Republican Senator Susan Collins' ads, which criticized MoveOn was (as we know) off base.
Knickers Untwisted
Google decides to run the Collins ads.
Apparently, with the blessing of "the organization that shall not be named."
"We don't want to support a policy that denies people freedom of expression," says Jennifer Lindenauer, MoveOn.org's communications director.
This, made me laugh. I had to fan myself with the C&D letter that MoveOn COO Carrie Olson wrote to Café Press.
Amount today: $305.00

The Shirt MoveOn Tried To Ban From Cafe Press
This is the shirt that started it all
Cafe Press --the good guys stood up for entrepreneurs and free speech
MoveOn's cease and desist letters did nothing. End result? Anti-MoveOn merchandise flourished, and this blog was able to raise money from the sale of the t-shirts to send to an organization that sends military kids to summer camp.
How This Fundraiser Started
Read about us in The Washington Examiner in connection with MoveOn.Org's nefarious attempts to also squelch free speech at Google, complete with a timeline compiled by Robert Cox.

A Rant
Disclaimer
While the proceeds of the T-shirt sales were sent directly from the PoliStew Cafe store to the NMFA, this was not an official fund raiser sanctioned by their organization. The political viewpoints do not reflect the NMFA, their board of directors, staff or supporters.
This was simply one shopkeeper deciding not to keep any of the profits, but give them away to benefit military kids.
It did result, however, in many checks from generous donors sending donations directly to them.
