Move On Shows Lameness With Cease & Desist Demand

They can sure dish it out like most liberals and again, like most liberals, cry and whine when the tables get turned on them and someone decides to make a little fun at their expense.

This is a result of an enterprising conservative that tried briefly to make some coin on the Betrayus scandal by putting some goofy T-shirts online for sale at Cafe Press slamming MoveOn for the ad, which then in turn once noticed caused MoveOn to cry to CafePress to remove the items for copyright infringement.

They were briefly pulled and then returned it looks like in a slightly modified version. An explanation can be found here along with the shirts.

Boo Hoo poor old MoveOn. They have no problem besmirching the image and name of a one General Petreaus around the world in the NY Slimes, but cannot handle a few t-shits floating around online making fun of them doing so. Typical "do as we say but not as we do" libs flaunting free speech left and right but only when it falls in line with their worldview only.

MoveOn.org's thin skin

Los Angeles Times: Opinion LA Blog : "MoveOn.org's excessively discounted broadside against General David Petraeus in the New York Times two weeks ago won't rank as its most successful tactic. The full-page nastygram appears not only to have solidified Republican opposition in the Senate for proposals to curtail the Iraq war effort, but also to have shaken the group's rich Hollywood funding base.

So it's not too surprising that the liberal advocacy group would be a mite touchy from all the blowback online, even though it should be used to the abuse by now.

So touchy, in fact, that it's bee n sending out cease-and-desist letters to CafePress, a website that lets people offer custom-designed t-shirts, coffee mugs and the like for sale. Last week it demanded that the site remove eight items, arguing that they violated MoveOn's merchandising trademarks." continued
