Where has the alternative press gone?
San Diego Union-Tribune: The Web wars are coming. RightMarch.com, an umbrella Web site for conservative organizations, is raising funds, its organizers say, "to counter the well-financed antics of radical left-wing groups like MoveOn.org."

Commentary & News Briefs
AgapePress: A conservative political website recently published a full-page ad in USA Today praising Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The ad was a response to a full-page spread in the New York Times that labeled the defense secretary as a traitor. William Greene, chairman of RightMarch.com, created the patriotic website in order to counter MoveOn.org, which he says is run by "a bunch of hate-America radicals" who used blame-America tactics during the war in Iraq. Greene says while it is perfectly okay to criticize the government, MoveOn.org went too far by calling Rumsfeld a traitor.

MoveOn Ad Competition Ushers Bush Attacks Into the Mainstream
Village Voice: Even before MoveOn spends a dime on media buys, millions will have seen or heard about the ads, thanks to all the media hype—and controversy. Over the past week the Republican Party has been foaming at the mouth over a pair of entries submitted to the contest that compared Bush's tactics to those of Adolf Hitler.

Meanwhile, the conservative website Rightmarch.com is soliciting grassroots donations to run radio spots and fullpage newspaper ads attacking MoveOn for posting the Hitler/Bush ad entries and calling on the Democratic candidates to repudiate the group's "bigoted hatemongering."

'MeetUps' expand campaign participation
Sioux City Journal: "Nearly 2,000 Iowans have joined our campaign through MeetUps and hundreds of them have never attended a caucus," Jeani Murray, Dean's Iowa campaign manager said. "It has been a great addition to our traditional methods of meeting caucus attendees ... We have led the way showing the political world the power of the Internet to mobilize a movement for change." Most of this campaigning is taking place among Democrats, since the Republican race isn't contested with incumbent George Bush in the White House. But Republicans have taken notice and, to counter "Bush-bashing parties," more than 3,000 people agreed to host "left-bashing" video parties on Dec. 7, according to RightMarch.com founder William Greene.
