6. That is only one third of the story

The MoveOn family of organizations consists of three entities. MoveOn.org, a 501(c)(4) organization, primarily focuses on education and advocacy on important national issues. MoveOn PAC, a federal PAC, primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values. And MoveOn.org Voter Fund, a 527 organization, primarily educates voters on the positions, records, views, and qualifications of candidates for public office.

7. Actually there are 3 different MoveOn groups.

MoveOn.org is a 527, MoveOnPac.org is a PAC, and MoveOnVoterFund.org

I think the ones producing the ads is the PAC.

5. MoveOn has three parts, a PAC, a 527, and a 501

9. Moveon.org

Interestingly enough, not one claim made in an ad produced by moveon.org has been refuted by Bush & Co.
