Liberal Group Puts Bounty on Head of Chamber of Commerce CEO
Fox News ^ | 12/7/09 | Judson Berger

Posted on 12/07/2009 4:51:03 PM PST by Blood of Tyrants

Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue is a wanted man -- at least according to the liberal activist group that's put a de facto bounty on his head.

A network of liberal groups known as Velvet Revolution started an ad campaign offering $200,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the man whose trade organization has become a thorn in the side of the Obama administration and congressional Democrats.

The group is not leveling any specific charges of criminal behavior. Rather, it is casting a wide net, fishing for any whistleblowers from Donohue's past who might come forward with allegations of wrongdoing. The campaign against the Chamber was launched in response to the group's opposition to climate change legislation and health care reform, and its plan to spend $100 million lobbying against these and other initiatives.

"On every issue, the Chamber is kind of the lead corporate advocate for the status quo," said Kevin Zeese, a lawyer who sits on the board for Velvet Revolution, calling Donohue a "knee-jerk reactionary" and the Chamber a "right-wing extremist group."

Think $200,000 would encourage a envirowhacko worshiping at the alter at the church of Man-cause Globull Warming would concoct false "evidence"?

Naaaa, it'll never happen.

It just warms me during this holiday season to witness the love, compassion, tolerance, and inclusiveness of liberals.

Slimy nasty bums. The need to have a bounty on them for helping to destroy America and the Millions of jobs lost due to Cap and trade, employee free choice act and Taxes.

I think turnaround would be fair play. How about a bounty on the heads of the “Velvet Revolution”.

Convince me things like this do not disrupt the balance of civility.

I’m afraid I see a violent future for America. The two sides can never reconcile. One will have to dominate the other.

Kevin sounds like some kind of wacked-out stalker to me.

Probably smoked a few too many reefers too.

Just thinking the same thing. It would be a lot easier to dig up the poorly-concealed illicit activities of these leftist teat parasites than it would be to generate and sling synthetic mud at most on the right, even with the handicap of the media being totally corrupt and rotting to the bone.

Wonder what it would take to get information leading to the arrest and conviction of someone like Kevin Zeese?

A few candy bars for a hippie with a serious case of the munchies? A free tattoo session? An iPhone?

A Marxist coup/revolution, Lenin done by Alinsky and Ayers with a big nod to Stalin.

People should call Velvet Revolution’s tip line with false leads.

And just where did this creep get the $200 grand? It wouldn't be those tax-exempt "charitable" foundations of CORPORATE wealth, would it?

The Democrats ARE the party of the rich, usually people who inherited their money and want to preclude more competent competition. How they get away with this feigned populism is beyond me.

Don’t be afraid....embrace it...we WILL prevail. It will be bloody and there will be many sad households for a long time. But in the end we will win. Good always wins. We no longer have any option but to proceed. As you can tell the terrorist party in charge and their regiments of sycophant thugs, faggots, illiterates, and self-opressed have been working on their army for a while. We must no longer talk...but meet them face to face on new battlefields and make our mark in the history books. The time for talk is over. The time for holding ‘cute’ signs and shouting ‘catchy’ slogans is over. The time to take back the United States of America is now.

OR.....we could just watch the new season of American Idol and twitter about it

I didn’t really mean “afraid” in the sense of fear, but more like resignation. I agree...it will have to happen. It will make what will come to be known as Civil War I look like a garden party.
