Interesting article about the Watermelon (Green outside, Red inside) groups of the VLWC.

Couple of comments: Note how kindly these groups are treated by the mainstream media.

Wonder how many are sucking at the goverment teat?

How many are extorting money from the corporations they are seeking to destroy?

We focus on crooks like Jesse Jackson, but he is the tip of the iceburg.

How many of these groups supported the Clinton/Gore criminals?

How many of these groups run ads supporting Rat candidates?

These days, most "grassroots" groups are far better moneyed, networked and operated than many corporations and political lobbies.

Microsoft is real good at this. when they drum up "grassroots" support for their side of the anti-trust case, its widely referred to as "Astro-turfing".

I don't know about alot of them, but I do know that ANR the anti-smoker group, gets lots of money from the government dollars.

How many are extorting money from the corporations they are seeking to destroy?

Everyone of the anti-smoker groups is doing it.

We focus on crooks like Jesse Jackson, but he is the tip of the iceburg.

That's an understatement.

How many of these groups supported the Clinton/Gore criminals?

all of the anti-smoker groups did.

How many of these groups run ads supporting Rat candidates?

probably a lot of them

Thanks for this post.

Last night I got an email with two great websites. One is new and was cited in this article.

I posted a thread about these two sites. We can go there to find out who is really financing these Anti American so called charities.

Link to these two sites: (Two sites showing where Anti American Phoney Charities get funding)

This site is hypocritical. They attack other organizations for their fundraising and personnel. Yet, the ActivistCash.com gives no indication of who runs the group or where their money comes from.

They do share an office suite with the American Beverage Institute and the Employment Policies Institute (which opposes the minimum wage).

Yeah, talk about your grassroots organizations!

". . . disorganized, under-funded, struggling folk willing to live hand-to-mouth in the name of their noble goal." Sounds like ME and a lot of other freepers I know. For victory & freedom!!!
