57 Varieties of Radical Causes, Part I

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=15109

This report by Ben Johnson documents the tax-exempt giving by Teresa Heinz Kerry to political groups, which are shaping the American future.
....

A group of activists led by Hillary Clinton has recently created a new $20 million left-wing think tank,

funded by billionaire George Soros, called the Center for American Progress,...

....

As Ben Johnson’s report shows, Teresa Heinz Kerry, all by herself, presides over greater assets involved in the funding of shadow political activities than the three chief conservative foundations – Scaife, Olin and Bradley –combined.
....

The raw figures available provide a benchmark that allows us to put Mrs. Kerry’s influence in perspective.

Without question, she is a major player in the culture wars between left and right,

and in the shadow universe that shapes the political future.

....

Perhaps the most striking aspect of Ben Johnson’s report what it reveals about the scope of Mrs. Kerry’s political investments and the range of left-wing agendas she supports.

Directly or indirectly, Teresa Heinz Kerry has sponsored a political spectrum that includes violent anarchists, anti-free market socialists,

anti-Homeland Security activists, racial dividers, open borders agitators, pro-terrorist radicals....

....

Over the last decade, Teresa Heinz Kerry has steered $8.1 million to the Tides group,

which is a nerve center of the left and which has funneled the monies to numerous radical groups.

When the stories about Mrs. Kerry’s connection to Tides appeared, all identified parties protested their innocence,

and a politically sympathetic media conveniently dismissed the connections.

But, the facts themselves will not go away.

....

Tides has also given grant money to the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Ostensibly a “Muslim civil rights group,” CAIR is in fact one of the leading anti-anti-terrorism organizations in the United States.

CAIR regularly opposes American efforts to fight terrorists,

claiming Homeland Security measures are responsible for an undocumented surge in “hate crimes.”

CAIR officials have reason to fight Bush’s War on Terror measures, since many CAIR officials are on the record supporting terrorist organizations.

Your 57 varieties of radical causes - parts 1 and 2 are interesting and bear reporting by the same media that won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

THANKS JP for this summary.
