MoveOn — movement or sellout?

Chris Hayes has a great news analysis piece about this at The Nation.

His shorter version is that MoveOn never has been as radical as the O’Reillys of the world claim, the BetrayUs ad aside, and that, for this reason, the question in my header may need more nuance.

But, the conclusion of the “shorter Hayes,” nonetheless, is that one could reasonably call MoveOn a sellout.

Beyond that, Hayes does a good job of pointing out that MoveOn’s time may have come and gone.
