MoveOn.org, which was created to save President Clinton from impeachment, is the liberal behemoth on the Internet. It just has targeted North Carolina Congressman Charles Taylor for defeat, opening “a storefront office in downtown Asheville” where “more than 400 volunteers have come to work the phones.” (News and Observer; 10-26-06)

Let’s put that in perspective. After working in five Senate Campaigns I can say based on experience, on our best day, not once, not even for Jesse Helms, did we put 400 volunteers into a phone bank in Asheville.

MoveOn has 10,000 members in Congressman Taylor’s District, and it’s put a list of every voter in the district online where each member can read it on his home computer. Now, I guess, MoveOn’s 10,000 members are contacting those voters, urging them to defeat Congressman Taylor.

That is Internet politics with a passion.
