Coming a little late to this one, but Chris Suellentrop's Wednesday MoveOn-bash in Slate just demands a shorter version:

Having organized thousands of like-minded people over the last six years to donate time and money to phone-banking during elections, lobbying Congress on legislative and regulatory issues, and to getting issue ads on the air, MoveOn has conclusively demonstrated that it has no real interest in practical politics.

Suellentrop, of course, is just carrying water for the Joementum® Democrats—the DLC types for whom no politics can really be called politics if it doesn't involve parties with corporate donors, and who are currently waging a heroic post-election struggle to purge the Democratic party of all those nasty Democrats it's infected with.
