Barack Obama---Just Another Lefty Boytoy
Byron York drops a dime:
This is why media bias ultimately hurts Democrats.
Barack Obama has been lauded by the usual MSM suspects as a middle-of-the-road Democrat. This allows him to get away with sucking up to MoveOn.org and all the lefty moonbat money it can raise. Don't think the blogosphere, talk radio, and GOP ads won't make a lot out of this little alliance when the proper time comes, and don't think it won't hurt the Dems.
The GOP, fortunately, cannot count on media silence regarding such crass opportunism.
On Tuesday, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama joined an effort by MoveOn's political-action committee to raise campaign funds for West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd, who faces reelection in 2006. In a letter to MoveOn members, Obama praised MoveOn's efforts, saying, "You and millions of others, working through MoveOn, have helped change the way politics works in this country."
Obama's letter comes two weeks after MoveOn sponsored a rally in Washington to support Democratic filibusters of President Bush's judicial nominees. That rally was the idea of Byrd, who got in touch with MoveOn to organize the event. In addition to Byrd, it was attended by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and fellow Democratic senators Hillary Rodham Clinton, Edward Kennedy, Charles Schumer, Barbara Boxer, Patrick Leahy, and Richard Durbin.
