All it might take is for the "loaning" charity and/or
a city or fed prosecutor to ask a judge to order that
$400K of AA's funds be escrowed until the matter is
resolved.

AA probably doesn't have that much cash, so it would
amount to an immediate yank of their main circuit breaker,
and dead air the next day.

Would anyone notice (including the NYT)?

I would hate to think that the moralistic, petulant swine on the Left get a pass when it comes to ripping off disadvantaged kids and old people.

After all, their spew about how nobody "cares" about the disadvantaged, about senior citizens, is standard liberal fare. And the fact that they don't seem to mind if their favorite radio station steals from their pet groups? A matter of indifference, of course.

You see, everyone is to be *used* by liberals. Liberals *care* about as much as any of group of frothing ideological lunatics.

According to reports, Cohen was in an advantageous position to secure the loans: In addition to directing Air America, Cohen also served as development director of the Gloria Wise club.

This is something that has always seemed odd to me--is it just a coincidence that this guy is so diverse (he is a lib'ral, after all) that he can run a multi-million dollar charity and a start-up radio station at the same time? Or perhaps it was no coincidence at all....?

...there is some indication that the current owner of Air America, Piquant LLC, may not have been aware of the loans at the time it purchased the network on May 24, 2004.

Piquant is taking a beating over this. They might want to use this little factoid to dump AA and sue everyone in sight. Just a suggestion, in case anyone's listening....

Someone needs to put a face on this. How many kids were denied a chance at camp because of the agenda af a few ideological fanatics. These kids don't give a rats ass about politics, but they pay the price.

The hypocrisy of these bastards slaps you right in the kisser.

There was a passing mention of this on Fox & Friends this morning. They may have covered it earlier or yesterday. If so, that is the only place you will see it.

this story is a text book example how the MSM spins by OMISSION as much as COMISSION.

Do we have a New York FReeper who can get film of angry parents and disappointed kids who don't have their club?

Sen Corzine "loans" $470,000.00 to Carla Katz, head Union Thug of 9000 other thugs and the "FORGIVES" the $470,000.00 mortgage note and pays "gift taxes" on it, so poor little helpless Carla doesn't have to worry her pretty little head about making mortgage payments cause it's just like what Barbie said .....Math is HARD!!

Now we have a Non- PROFIT, State and FEDERALLY GRANTED give a "loan" to Air America for $800,000.00!!!

What the hell is going on?

Hey Chris Matthews, YOU HYPOCRITE

When are you gonna start covering this story, huh??

If this was Rush, Hannity or any other Conservative Talk Show .. this story was be ALL OVER THE MEDIA!

Wholly unrocked by the experience, however, is the Bronx-area paper of record, the New York Times, which, since the story began to seriously break on July 29, has published exactly nothing on the scandal.

Maybe if they stopped trying to get the records of Roberts' kids adoption

The NY Slimes might actually have time report on this story
