The left is not quite in full reverse on the groundless accusations against the Chamber of Commerce, but they will be soon enough. In a desperate attempt to run away from their political record (>9% unemployment, mountains of debt, Obamacare) the democrats thought they had found the perfect distraction. (Amazing how little has changed in one year) Seemingly coordinated accusations of “secret money” and buying elections spilled out of leftist precincts last week.
Democrats, the President, and their sympathizers, didn’t just go after the chamber of commerce, but also Karl Rove and the Koch brothers. Democratic operative Robert Reich used his position as chairman of Common Cause, a left wing 501(c), to accuse the rich of being involved in a secret anti middle class cabal over at the Huffington Post. Think Progress, a project of the Center for American Progress, another 501(c), accused the Chamber of Commerce of co-mingling funds from foreign contributers and asked for an investigation. Max Baucus gladly piled on, formally asking for an investigation. The WSJ observes that the calls for investigation is nothing more than an attempt try and silence business. The behavior is not new for the current democratically controlled Congress.
The entire affair may blow up in their face. Let’s not shy away from a serious look at the 527, and 501(c) groups across the political spectrum. . . .

I want all of these grants and stuff to leftwing groups to stop.

To Lefties, everything is spin, and therefore truth does not exist.
They're going to have to rethink that position if they ever want to climb out of the canyon they've dug for themselves.
I can’t stand the wall to wall commercials from “Americans coming Together for the American Way and all that is Good In America etc.” that support left wing causes and candidates. Just doing research on the web reveals them to be funded by unions in 90 plus percent of cases.
