Blogger Discovers 'Media Matters' Using Clinton Admin Operatives as Official Agents

Blogger Conservative Belle has a penchant for getting to the bottom of stories. You'll remember that a couple weeks ago, she discovered that the fallen soldier whose name David Shuster blamed Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) for not knowing had his official residence in another district. It was a Dem congressman, not Blackburn, whom the Department of the Army had notified of the soldier's death.

Conservative Belle [or "CB," as we like to call her] has gone Sherlock Holmes again today. And this time, she's discovered that "Media Matters," the outfit that denies that Hillary Clinton [contrary to her assertion as pictured here] helped start it, just happens to use as official agents a firm whose head honchos include . . . two senior political operatives from the Clinton adminstration.

CB also has unearthed some interesting information suggesting that in its solicitation of donations, "Media Matters" may be running afoul of the rules in a state near and dear to its DC home.

Bet they wish they never tried to lie about Rush now! LOL

They have inadvertently exposed one of their dirty tricks machines.

Conservatives have to expose the Liberal’s bag of dirty, corrupt tricks and expose them publicly if we are ever to gain any momentum. Liberals fight from the gutter and Republicans, IMO, have been reluctant to take the fight to them. Timid cowards will lose every time. Fight your enemy on their territory using their tactics back on them! The only thing Liberals fear is exposure.

I disagree. They don't care because no one will hear about these revelations other than political junkies like we who read FR. They know they can count on the MSM to put a lid on any of their dirty or lying activities.

Heads up.

Hitlery all but has a down payment on the Dem nod for POTUS and already her scandals, lies, illegal campaign donations, etc., are off the chart.

All we need now are a few bodies and it’s 1997 all over again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Media Matters

Interesting. They tell you all about how to donate. But not a peep about where they get their money from. They make you ask to get the info.

[mewzilla]

Bet their IRS Form 990 would make interesting reading.

[1rudeboy]

Man, are my fingers itching to ping some of the FReepers that have used Media Matters as a source in the past.

[airborne]

Doesn’t that disqualify them as a non profit?

[Suzy Quzy]

WHERE"S THE FBI????? Oh yeah...looking into steroids.

WHERE's WINKLE PAW???

[mewzilla]

Just ran across this. Mentioned the 990 form....

Media Matters Funded By Secretive Organization

[mewzilla]

There are all kinds of loopholes for getting and keeping 501(c)(3) status. I hope someone is going over all their reporting docs with a fine-toothed comb, though.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Were they paleos? Or the Corsi contingent?

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!

[1rudeboy]

They sounded like paleos a good portion of the time, definitely part of the Corsican contingent.

Of course this tie between the Clinton Chinese Mafia and their SS squad will be on the Sundays just like it would be if it were a Republican. The blogs need to get the connection out.

Bet they wish they never tried to lie about Rush now!

This whole Rush episode is going to be a net loss for the RATs. This story probably won't be a big factor, but all in all, Rush is starting to roll them down on this issue.

Wouldn't it be great if we could have some god-like power and see people change their minds when things like this pop up? I think that there are actually a discrete number of people whose minds and votes change to our side when the left lies like this.
