Swifties coming on Fox @ 8 & 9 PM for Hannity & O'Reilly
Posted on 08/09/2004 4:58:34 PM PDT by Deep Freep
Below is a comparison of the 527 filings for MoveOn and the Swifties. The media is haveing a meltdown because someone other than the radical left has formed a 527 corporation. A 527 formed by anyone with a message not deemed in accordance with the MSM's leftist apologetics is a tool of the RNC and the Bush adminstration, while MoveOn.org's millions from Soros go unmentioned.
So, look who has more money and more large donors. Keep this in mind while the media tries to smear the Swfties and paint them as tools of the right-wing.
You can look up the 527 filings at the IRS website. The EIN's are listed below.

ping!
But who were the move-on.org's sponsors?
And WHY did McCain come with this stupid scheme in the first place?
And WHY are these groups tax-deductible?
bump
They are not tax-deductible.
However, most groups have several different corporations with similiar names. MoveOn has a PAC, a c4 and a 527.

I'm almost positive that contributions to a 527 organization are not tax-deductible for the donor.
Most excellent breakdown!! The visual aid is a masterpiece:)
Perhaps he meant tax-exempt?
Are 527's tax-exempt?
Mc Cain came up with this scheme so we could have more senitive elections. Elections where the truth could not come out about encombants. He bought in to all the crap that Taxocrats were ready to leave all the Chi-com money out of our elections.
McCain is a fool!
(tax exempt)
I believe so, yes. Sorta like (other) "non profits."
Excellant graphic and thanks for the heads up, I'll be watching tonight
Can you briefly explain what each is?
You can also go to "newsmeat.com" and find names of anyone contributing over $200 in one-time donations to a candidate.
Some interesting stuff there.

Just pinch me!
Check the list to find Frank Brunckhorse of BOAR'S HEAD PROVISIONS and his contribution of $3/4 of a $million Dollars to the demoncRats. I know what meats from the deli counter my family will NOT be eating from now on. Too much good provisions competition to be further enriching the friends of Socialists.
Excellent! Thank you!
