America Coming Together is one of the anti-Bush activist groups bankrolled by Bush-hating billionaire George Soros. He gave the group around $10 million.

Not to mention Soros' shady financial dealings.

A $1000 donation was made to Al Gore's presidential primary campaign on April 22, 1999 under the citation "Ms. Wilson, Valerie E. of Washington, DC 20007, Brewster-Jennings & Assoc." [3]

"The FEC record lists her occupation as 'retired' even though she's still a CIA staffer. Under employer it says: N.A."

I'm not a lawyer, but isn't there a law somewhere that makes it a crime to knowingly file false information on a federal form? Especially one involving campaign donations? If she can falsify her occupation, then wouldn't it be possible for a foreign national, say a chicom for instance, to make a donation under an assumed identity? Imagine how scary it would be if someone who accepted money from the chicoms got elected. That person would be beholden to the communists! What if that person was, heaven forbid, elected president?! We really must reform our campaign finance laws soon to prevent this type of abuse.

Last night, I went to sleep simply imaging what it must be like in Democrat circles with the real truths and facts hitting daylight. Oh. My. It must be such a horror show and fright for them.

They've spent so many years spewing fearmongering blather about the "Torquemada Right".. can you imagine what must be going on in their nightmares when they sleep? Larry Johnson might be imagining jail time with Bruno? Joe Wilson? Bamboo shoots under the fingernails?

Indeed, Dems are their own worst enemies...

...The $372 donation to the anti-Bush group America Coming Together, first reported by Time magazine's Web site, was made in Plame's married name of Valerie E. Wilson and covered two tickets...

Yes, Plame is on record having contributed to the Kerry campaign but I don't know that I'd take issue with purchasing tickets to a Bruce Springsteen concert. Quite a few pro-Bush fans bought tickets to hear Bruce rock for Bin Laden. I know because many came across the street to shake my hand.

Having said that, I wouldn't give Bruce a dime of my money.

Why tell the truth (or nothing) when one can lie? Seems a common democrat trait - the drive to lie.

$oreA$$ and the Plames.

I imagine that that is just scratching the surface of interactions between the Plames and $oreA$$'s anti America groups.

This has probably been pointed out before but...doesn't "America Coming Together" sound like a nationwide circle jerk?

I love watching this play out. A few years ago we'd never know what was happening- we had to trus the old media to tell us.

Now we can get complex issues with complex data.

Soros-Backed Activist Group Disbands as Interest Fades
Washington Post ^ | Wednesday, August 3, 2005 | Thomas B. Edsall

A year ago, the liberal group America Coming Together was on the cutting edge of national politics, spending tens of millions of dollars on a massive voter-mobilization project in every presidential battleground state. The dream was that ACT -- heavily funded by billionaire George Soros -- would play a decisive role in getting Democratic nominee John F. Kerry elected president and then remain in business as a permanent force in liberal politics.

Steve Rosenthal, who launched America Coming Together to mobilize voters for Democrat John F. Kerry, said maintaining momentum after the election proved to be harder than expected. Billionaire George Soros's heavy funding of the group ended after the election.

Instead, the group this week began sending e-mails to most of the 28 people who make up the remaining ACT staff warning that their paychecks would stop at the end of August. All the state offices have been, or are soon to be, closed.
