Today on CNN Howard Kurtz shamelessly -- shamelessly! -- compared MoveonPAC's ads to the SBL ads and even outright called MoveonPAC a 527 group. I find that particularly astounding since he said "PAC" himself:

KURTZ: Now, MoveOn.org PAC, the liberal group, has been running -- has made ads with celebrities, including Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, who picks up a Republican in her car and convinces him to vote against Bush. I guess they're going to send it to all 50 states.
I mention MoveOn, because there are a lot of liberal groups, as you know, Debra Saunders, these 527s -- have there been a double standard in the media in not trying to make Kerry denounce the liberal ads, while reporters ask the president every day, why won't you disassociate yourself from the swift boat ads?

Honest-to-God, he knows better. We know he knows better, and still, on a show about how the media is doing, he spews a blatant falsehood to his audience, reinforcing the idea that MoveonPAC ads are from a 527 and should (and would if Bush had is way) be outlawed. That is a false statement.

You can write him here (unless someone has an email address for him).
