MoveOn, the George Soros funded astroturf army of the left, is making an interesting threat.  First, this from FOX News.

Moveon.org has reportedly raised $3,578,117 in contributions to fund primary challenges against ‘any Democratic senator who blocks an up-or-down vote on health care reform with a public option,’ according to an e-mail sent to group members on Thursday

A civil war is threatening to erupt within the Democratic Party as liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org looks to punish moderate Democrats opposed to the sweeping health care overhaul proposed by party leaders.

MoveOn has reportedly raised more than $3.5 million  in contributions to fund primary challenges against “any Democratic senator who blocks an up-or-down vote on health care reform with a public option,” according to an e-mail sent to group members on Thursday.

The e-mail warned that any Democratic House member who joins Republicans to filibuster the health care reform measure will “face an enormous backlash from the grassroots.”

There’s a lot to cover here.

First, the goons have been unleashed.  The SEIU and ACORN will not be far behind.  It’s no mystery as to why this email became public.  It is meant as a warning to Democratic lawmakers.  Let’s translate that idea.

CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE TRANSLATION: “Ehh, the Don wants this legislation for his legacy.  He knows most of yous, as well as himself, will be voted out in the next few years, so he wants this done!  Once it’s passed, no one will ever get rid of it, and Democrats can say every election, “Those evil Republicans want to take yous’s health care away so yous’ll DIIIIIIIE!!!!”  If yous don’t cooperate with the Don, our respectable community organizers will make sure unfortunate things happen to yous…yeah “unfortunate,” that’s it.”

“Enormous backlash from the grassroots.”  OK, we know what the Democratic grassroots are all about.  They’ll show up with in buses, be paid, and wearing identically printed shirts and signs.  They’ll spout off the scripts they’ve been given, and “speakers” claiming to be “doctors” at  town halls will be Democratic plants.  Sound familiar?  It was done all this summer in response to the Tea Parties.

3.5 million??  Come on Mr. Soros, you have billions.  Get your minions at the DNC to put in more.  Or, better yet, throw in a 100 million of your own.  It’s for your socialist agenda, isn’t it?  You have enough of a tangled web to launder all of that money so it doesn’t appear to be from you!  Come on now, go all in!  3.5 million is a pittance, only enough to damage one blue dog, if that.

OK, sarcastic ranting aside, Why am I obviously happy with this?  Well, the nation is against ObamaCare, PelosiCare, KilloffGrannyCare, or whatever you want to call it.   The public option is a big reason why.  If the left knocks of Democratic moderates, and puts socialists up against Republicans,  Conservatives, and Independents, they will get annihilated at the polls.  The left, the MSM, and pretty much anyone outside of the “alternative media”  haven’t a clue that there is a change going on out in flyover country.  And yes, it IS a change that we can believe in.

Oh I just remembered…

Isn’t the “extreme” wing of a party attacking nice moderates very, very bad?  I guess it’s only bad when Conservatives do it.
