Somebody needs to inform the writer of this puff piece that Teresa dropped "Kerry" from her name in February. During the election the focus was on John Kerry, not Teresa. Now that Teresa Heinz is continuing with her own campaign of funding radical left-wing organizations and agendas through her Tides Foundation she needs a little investigation.

Teresa Heinz Kerry has donated a fortune to the secretive Tides Foundation over the years. The Tides Foundation, a “charity” established in 1976 by antiwar activist Drummond Pike, distributes millions of dollars in grants every year to political organizations advocating far-Left causes. The Tides Foundation and its closely allied Tides Center, which was spun off from the Foundation in 1996, distributed nearly $66 million in grants in 2002 alone. In all, Tides has distributed more than $300 million for the Left. These funds went to rabid antiwar demonstrators, anti-trade demonstrators, domestic Islamist organizations, pro-terrorists legal groups, environmentalists, abortion partisans, extremist homosexual activists and open borders advocates.

In one recent year, the Tides Foundation provided grants for 21 activist groups with the word "justice" in their names and 36 with "rights."

The Tides Foundation has funded the Ruckus Society, a group of anarchist greens who rioted and looted Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization riots.

Tides established the Iraq Peace Fund and the Peace Strategies Fund to fund the antiwar movement.

Tides has also given grant money to the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Omar M. Ahmad, the Chairman of the Board of CAIR is on the record as saying, “Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” CAIR's Community Affairs Director Bassem K. Khafagi has been arrested for visa and bank fraud. Randall Royer, a Communications Specialist and Civil Rights Coordinator at CAIR, was arrested along with a group of Islamic radicals in Virginia for allegedly planning jihad.

The Tides Foundation has funded a number of the pillars of the radical legal establishment. Chief among these is the National Lawyers Guild  whose most notorious member is Lynne Stewart. Stewart was recently convicted of helping terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, communicate with his terrorist cells in Egypt.

Teresa is currently traveling in her environmentally friendly Gulfstream V which consumes 1 gallon of jet fuel per mile. Now, to haul the environmentally friendly Teresa from Boston to San Francisco to Seattle and back would require 7,200 gallons of jet fuel. Now that's energy-efficient for you. Is this evidence of Heinz's environmental concern or her  do what I say, not what I do, you hoi polloi cretins hypocrisy.

No comment on the "put out" remark.

"Environmentalist" ?
Just because she returns the empties...

[<1/1,000,000th%]

She argued that Democrats should insist on "accountability and transparency" in how votes are tabulated.

I doubt they'll do this. It would mean the end of the Democratic Party.

[O Neill]

She's the new Princess of Tides!

cool...

--- The sails of the philanthropist wife of Senator John Kerry were not trimmed by November's narrow electoral defeat. ---

"Narrow"?

No comment on the "put out" remark.

I'm reminded of the bedroom scene from "Liar Liar"....

"Was it good for you?"

"I've had better....."

SLAP!!!!

[Argus]

Just think, this moonbat came within a few hundred thousand votes of being First Lady of the United States.

Thank you again, Ohio!

Hey Ter-ray-zah the next time your servants mix up a batch of Kool-Aid just remember the instructions call for sugar and water only... just sugar and water.... wouldn't want you to have anything else in your Kool-Aid.

try liberal lunatic of the year...

[Redgirl]

I think she keeps hubby's parts in a jar and she lets him borrow them once in awhile.

[Rummyfan]

Thank God you are not our First Lady!

Heinz Kerry is still steamed at what the Republican attack machine did to her husband. "Think about last year," she said. "Once John had his nomination, the Republicans spent $90 million to destroy his reputation."

I kinda have to agree with tRazor here... I think we could have destroyed his reputation by just revealing the truth at a much lower price.

["Think about last year," she said. "Once John had his nomination, the Republicans spent $90 million to destroy his reputation."]

I think about last year's presidential campaign all the time.

Just because those aren't good memories for you doesn't mean they're not good memories for me.

[Michael.SF.]

Heinz Kerry is openly skeptical about results from November's election, particularly in sections of the country ...

LIKE SEATTLE, WASHINGTON?

[Niteranger68]

That's a man baby!

"We in the United States are not a banana republic,"


But this is proof that we do have a banana brained left wing democrat.

[Creightongrad]

She got this "hacked the election" idea from a novel by Charles McCarry.

[WireAndWood]

'Jever wonder if she had a hand in that plane crash that gained her all of her Republican husband's money? I do.
