David DeGraw – one of the primary Wall Street protest organizers – just sent me the following email:
Top MoveOn leaders / executives are all over national television speaking for the movement. fully appreciate the help and support of MoveOn, but the MSM is clearly using them as the spokespeople for OWS. This is an blatant attempt to fracture the 99% into a Democratic Party organization. The leadership of MoveON are Democratic Party operatives. they are divide and conquer pawns. For years they ignored Wall Street protests to keep complete focus on the Republicans, in favor of Goldman's Obama and Wall Street's Democratic leadership.
If anyone at Move On or Daily Kos would like to have a public debate about these comments, we invite it.
Please help us stop this divide and conquer attempt.

What's even more interesting is if you look at the comments from the Democrats you'll see how many feel they are entitled to do this, with an attitude of OWS owes them!
As he said, PLEASE stop any of these party hacks, Demon or Repuke, from playing their gamez here. Call them out when you see it. We are non partisan, issue oriented, and coming TOGETHER against the oligarchs.
United we stand and WIN.
moediggity, I don't why you keep linking to that petition which is on a MoveOn site and gives MoveOn the personal info of all those duped into signing.

Where were MoveOn organizers on TV? This is kinda bullshit. Sorry. But MoveOn is great and so is OWS and I'd like to belong to both, thanks.
Your argument is with one of the founders of OWS.
Nobody is saying you shouldn't belong to anything you want to. The point is no organizations should try to take credit for or hijack OWS, which they are trying to do. In that process, it also alienates those want nothing to do with MoveOn.
