New Group targets GOP donors

Today's New York Times article begins:

Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding “warning” letter in the mail next week.

and goes on to describe a newly formed group composed of veteran Democratic activists who intend to run a campaign to try to intimidate GOP donors and chill their activities on behalf of Republican candidates. The letters will be a mere first step with increasingly harsh attacks promised if the GOP supporters actually exercise their democratic rights-these steps include legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups that will "dig through their lives".

This group's donors-because of a loophole in the law regarding such 527 groups-will remain anonymous. Too bad. Given the Democratic operatives and activists at work in this group and that their goal is to boost the candidacy of Barack Obama can anyone doubt that Obama's biggest supporters are also behind this group? After all, George Soros is the single largest funder of such 527 groups and Soros was one of the earliest and most influential of Obama's supporters.

Barack Obama is supposed to be a new type of politician who lives on a higher plane than other politicians. He has denounced "old politics"-at least rhetorically when it suits his purpose- to deflect scrutiny of his record. John McCain denounced the Swift Boat campaign (and defended John Kerry from their criticism) and has warned 527 groups on the right that he rejects their support and has warned them to avoid untoward attacks against Barack Obama.

Will Obama now stand up and warn this group to avoid the psuedo-terror tactics that they seem primed to engage in over the next three months? Will he ask them to allow others to practice their free speech rights-free from worries about unfair attacks? He is a Democrat, after all. We do live in a Democracy. Oh..one more notable aspect: the group proudly identifies two main targets: Sheldon Adelson and Mel Sembler - both of whom are Jewish and strong supporters of the American-Israel relationship (which George Soros wants to rupture) Hmmm....

Here is a video of Matzzie and Legum in a symposium from 2006 regarding online strategy for campaigning...

It’s translated from the Portuguese. There are several video links to each of the people listed at the symposium. I think there might be something down this road to explore...

This group's donors-because of a loophole in the law regarding such 527 groups-will remain anonymous.

It is illegal to send threats through the US mails. If you receive a threatening letter, report it to your local post office, your local Republican party organization, your congressman, your senator, the FBI, and the National Republican party.

See the letter for yourself at Talking Points Memo.

Great I think I’ll order two!

[Paleo Conservative]

Okay, this is really simple, people. They only have $200,000.00 right now - hardly enough to hire the army of lawyers they’d like to employ. They are vulnerable RIGHT NOW.

Avoid doing business with companies owned by Soros and his friends who fund Moveon.org. Don't fly JetBlue, and don't get insurance from Progressive.

Thank you for that information, Bon mots. He does resemble an overweight wannabe mobster, doesn’t he?

They have opened a hornet’s nest.

Did you know that Eddie Murphy’s great 1983 standup special ‘Delirious’ was held up from DVD release for a decade because of Murphy’s gay jokes.

I got a 404 for http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/docs/letter-accountable-gaza/

I wonder why

[Paleo Conservative]

Look at this. Looks like Moveon.org could be charged under the Ku Klux Klan Act if they actually tried to do this.

Attempts to intimidate individuals from participating in the presidential campaign can be a violation of federal law. A key federal civil rights law (42 U.S.C. § 1985(3)), popularly known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, may be applicable if “two or more persons conspire to prevent by force, intimidation, or threat, any citizen who is lawfully entitled to vote, from giving his support or advocacy in a legal manner, toward or in favor of the election of any lawfully qualified person as an elector for President or Vice President, or as a Member of Congress of the United States; or to injure any citizen in person or property on account of such support or advocacy.”

Go get them.

It's the lawyers and private investigators they'll hire that you have to worry about. Remember, Clinton took character assassination through this method to a whole new level.
