Media Matters apparently tried to cover their lie with a half-truth.
http://mediamatters.org/items/200606150010
Media Matters attacked Dick Morris for saying that Democrats are supporting Left-Wing Rockefeller Republican Kathleen McFarland for the New York Republican Primary. They posted that the Democrats that supported Clinton only gave money to McFarland during her race for the House, and that Democrats are not supporting McFarland. They were partly correct.
The citings that Dick Morris made were indeed false in that they did not support McFarland during her Senate Race, but in her house race. This is completely irrelavent to any conservative Republican; a Republican backed by Democrat lovers in ANY race is a sign of controlled opposition. Media Matters got it completely wrong, however, in saying that McFarland isn't backed by Democrats in the Senate Race.
The very website they use to say that the Democrats gave money for K.T. in the House Race [http://opensecrets.org] also said that Robert Bishop donated to McFarlands campaign after she entered the Senate Race. In the past, Bishop has donated to extreme left-wing politicians such as: Robert Menendez, Elijah Cummings, José Serrano, and Charles Rangel. He has also given money to the National Leadership PAC for a Democratic Majority.
