You dont, because you dismissed this clip just because it is hosted on MoveOn.org (a source that you dont like).

Ace, I don't think Lebell's intent was to dismiss the clip; What he wanted to point out (I think) was that it is hypocritical of people to attack a piece of political debate based on its source, unless there is something explicitly questionable about its content.
For example, in the thread he refers to, someone posted a political essay/analysis from an admittedly heavily conservative website. People then proceeded to respond by attacking the source itself rather than discussing in what ways, if any, the analysis was flawed.
So his point was that something is not incorrect simply by virtue of being hosted on a biased site (bias not necessarily being a bad thing).
