That may be true, but you need to be more specific about such charges. As for the birthers and whatnot, the same thing applies: if you are going to criticize the groups that are raising money for lawsuits, then you need to do your own research.
You said "Do you KNOW anything about this group? Who runs it. Have you spoken with them? In person?"
If I'm going to support someone's cause, it is hardly efficient or appropriate for me to speak to them in person. If you decide to do that for this cause or any other, please post your results so we can all learn from them.
I know everything about Orly Taitz and her parties to her lawsuits. I know everything about who runs her 501c4, c3, PAC, etc. I know who printed her direct mail. I know who did her polling. I know who built her websites. I know who filed her disclosure reports. I know how much the records SAY these things cost in expenditures and I know who is making their living off of these scams. If you did 1/1000th of the research on this people as you have done on Obama, you would be sicked by what you'd find.
I don't know as MUCH about the other groups, but one can tell by their reports or in some cases the LACK of said reports, they are just as sleazy if not worse.
And yes it IS appropriate for you to know! Not only appropriate, but incumbent! It is your duty!!
