Then consider this quote from the September 2001 issue of Texas Monthly [Ben Barnes talking]:
"I'm not really a lobbyist. I don't represent clients day to day on legislation. I'm more of a crisis manager. I get called when people have a big problem in Washington that they can't solve by passing a bill."
Good old Ben was also very smart...known for only taking cash.
That Frontpage Mag article is damaging to barnes. If 60 Minutes doesn't report some of barnes' background and current activities, then other media will. The sheeple will not be out of the know for too long...hopefully.
