Did someone on MoveOn.org cheer the defeat of "Jew Lieberman?"
From William Kristol WSJ op-ed:

"As Robert Goldberg reported in the Washington Times, after one Moveon member celebrated the defeat of "Jew Lieberman," 95% of those who responded to the post on the Moveon Web site expressed their approval."

I have no reason to trust either William Kristol or the Washington Times. Also, as we've seen on DU, the anonymity of the Internet sends many to post what they normally would not say in public, at least, one hopes so.

But I wonder whether MoveOn has a system of Alerts and of moderators who would delete posts like that.

4. Because I have never been on MoveOn
can barely keep up with all the posts on DU, plus regular life activities..

But I know that many Duers are also active on MoveOn so was approaching a friendly crowd instead of going to complete strangers.

Just wondered whether anyone knew, that's all.

5. My guess would be that Robert Goldberg posted it...
... then had some of his friends reply positively so he could write a story about it.

I think Drum's law applies well here. If you have to troll internet message boards for nutty posts to make an opponent look bad your argument and complaint is without merit. Are you listening Michelle Malkin?
