UPDATE: they've backed-off.

Ann Althouse highlights a new MoveOn.Org campaign that's both wrong-headed and hypocritical.

More:

MoveOn.Org said "never mind," according to USA Today:
A liberal interest group Thursday denied it ever planned to use televised images of poverty-stricken evacuees from Hurricane Katrina as part of a provocative, last-minute effort to divert federal Judge John Roberts' path to confirmation as chief justice.

MoveOn.org Political Action's advocacy director Ben Brandzel had laid out plans for such an ad to USA TODAY on Wednesday. But Thursday, the group's executive director said "we regret any misunderstanding that may have arisen because of anything that our staff member might have told USA TODAY's reporter."

"We have no plans, and have never had plans, to produce such an ad," Eli Pariser added.
The press release now neither mentions Roberts nor promises New Orleans visuals.
