Finally, consider that people like Cindy Sheehan, Anne Coulter’s 9/11 wives, the Katrina victims and Michael Berg have been used as such political puppets by cunning liberals.
The cunning liberals you speak of are at Fenton Communications, a left-wing public relations firm with revenues in the millions and the principle handler of Cindy Sheehan. It has a financial powerbase that has grown exponentially since 1998 due to the massive infusion of cold cash from left-wing clients, grants, billionaire George Soros' Tides Foundation, Hollywood elites, and foreign sources. Fenton's stated purpose is to provide public relations services to left-of-center clients who advocate social change theories. For those who do not know, the Communist Manifesto is based directly upon the "Social Change" doctrine of Karl Marx (as rewritten by Frederick Engels January 30, 1888 London). Social change is the basis of the Progressive movement of today.
Fenton Communications has a very impressive client list:
American Lung Association
American Lung Association
American Medical Association
United Nations Development Program
American Trial Lawyers Association
John F. Kennedy School of Government
These are interesting, eh?
Air America
Amnesty International
NARAL Pro-Choice America
MoveOn.org
Win Without War
Code Pink
Current TV
Center for International Policy
“The Bubble of American Supremacy” (George Soros)
Turner Foundation
Tides Foundation
Heinz Family Foundation
and more . . .
Check out their website. These guys are really good at what they do and should never be underestimated.
So, the United Nations Development Program is a "client" of Fenton Communications, who is funded by ????? (fill in your choice of UN agency) who is funded (primarily) by US taxpayers. The AMA and Lung Cancer groups are funded by donations, used here to increase government restrictions - primarily on the we-are-here-from-the-government-and-want-you-feel-better-by-stopping-smoking-by demand crowd.
A typical grouping. I wonder how much of their funding is ultimately tax-payer based.
