With barely a whimper a few weeks after its big launch, David Brock's much-hyped Progressive Media USA has collapsed, thrown under the bus by Team Obama. (See previous blog entry here.) Two weeks ago [sorry--I've gotten behind in my blogging] the ambitious 501(c)(4) group, which vowed to spend $400 million trashing John McCain, quietly announced it would "dramatically scale back its efforts in deference to the wishes of the [Democratic] party's presumptive nominee," the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza reports.

So much for Brock's claim that the George Soros-sponsored group would be independent and nonpartisan.

And we believe this because........?

I guess Obama is anti-gay..............

Hmmm, sounds like an enterprising Republican or conservative attorney could now begin to challenge the validity of Brock's exempt tax status.

Every little bit helps.

Here’s a thought...

For all of you rabid McCain haters, here’s your chance to jump into bed with poofer Brock in trashing McCain. Think of the love you will get from him and his kind!!!!!

DISCLAIMER: I am not a McCain supporter.

The pillow-biter effect.

What? You mean Barry doesn't want such a
wholesome family image supporting him?

[CPT Clay]

tsk,tsk,tsk

Sounds like illegal contact, collusion, and co-ordination.

The more likely reason is they couldn’t raise more than $4.00.

David Brock's much-hyped Progressive Media USA

Reason no. 47 why conservatives have got to stop caving to the Left and using the term "progressive" to describe liberals and leftists. Just had to point that out.

[Jack Black]

He has now admitted breaking the law. It is not merely a suggestion, it is the law, that 527s not coordinate with campaigns. Here, he has admitted to coordinating. Anyone know how to file a FEC complaint?

[jmaroneps37]

rat droppings, nothing more.

wow, that’s scary..they are some very sick looking characters, in need of alot of help!

Now THERE'S an oxymoron for ya. And, given the subject, I'd put the emphasis on MORON!

Brock makes Barney look straight. I’m so glad he jumped ship and no longer is part of the “conservative movement.”
