"Oops! The secret's out on plan to slam Bush, GOP

Top Democrats, liberal interest groups, and two CNN cohosts are quietly promoting a new network to thwart President Bush's agenda with orchestrated protests, critical stories planted in friendly media, and rapid-reaction teams. The job of the "Progressive Donor Network" is to fight the "right-wing infrastructure." The lefties held an inaugural meeting this month, featuring talks by House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, CNN Crossfire hosts and party operatives James Carville and Paul Begala, and former top Clinton-Gore aides. The war plan included a detailed call to develop strategies to fight Bush and win local elections. One technique displayed in splendor: how an associated group, American Family Voices, has ginned up Enron protests to disrupt White House events. It's the brainchild of Michael Lux, a former Clinton aide and progressive PR strategist. His goal: get Democrats to react "with more quickness and agility" to the GOP. Lux hoped to keep his handiwork secret, but "I always assume if I hand out anything to any group that it will be in a reporter's hands within . . . days."

"Progressive Donor Network." Looks like they are trying to appeal to the Noam Chomsky crowd.

Lie.

Carville and Begala are evil men, the powers behind Clinton who are responsible for corrupting every part of our government. We will be cleaning up their messes for the rest of our lives, unfortunately.

This is more crass than that. This is an effort to circumvent CFR. There will be many, many more, resulting in campaign financing that is even more obscure than it is now.
