Congressman Rahm Emanuel, who leads the Democrats' efforts to retake the House and Senate, is criticizing two of his party's leading allies - George Soros and MoveOn.org - for spending too little on the midterm elections. "In the 2004 election there were some very active players who, as far as I can tell, have now decided they're neither going to be involved in the field, advertising or anything," Emanuel told the Daily News. "Do you know where they are?"

In 2004, Soros and other wealthy Democrats poured more than $200 million into so-called 527s, which supplemented the campaign of John Kerry. Political campaigns are legally barred from coordinating strategy with the independent groups, but they vastly strengthened the Democrats' field organizing.

Is Emanuel violating the election laws by these comments? Aren't his public comments "coordinating" with these 527's and telling them how to spend their campaign money?

ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!!
See post 30, and some advise on the law, though I have no legal schooling.
The MSM and the Drats believe laws are for Republicans.
