GOP Warned: Swiftboaters Will Be Exposed As The Liars They Are

[Psychoblues]

A genuine WARNING from the left?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Tell me it ain't so!!!!!!!!!!

Source: New York Times

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. The letter is an opening shot across the bow from an unusual new outside political group on the left that is poised to engage in hardball tactics to prevent similar groups on the right from getting off the ground this fall.

Led by Tom Matzzie, a liberal political operative who has been involved with some prominent left-wing efforts in recent years, the newly formed nonprofit group, Accountable America, is planning to confront donors to conservative groups, hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions. “We want to stop the Swift Boating before it gets off the ground,” said Mr. Matzzie, who described his effort as “going for the jugular.”

The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.

The group is also hoping to be able to respond if an outside conservative group broadcasts a television advertisement attacking Senator Barack Obama, or another Democratic candidate, by running commercials exposing the donors behind the advertisements.

Judd Legum, who was the research director for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, has signed on to play the same role for Accountable America....

Presumably, there's a difference between supporting a Republican candidate and supporting a campaign of deceit and distortion. Accountable America, apparently, is trying to discourage groups like the the Swiftboat Liars for Bush not support for legitimate candidates.

Power and control is what drives liberals. Look at the moonbats here for proof

Conservatives want freedom for folks so they can succeed without the government getting in their way and stealing more of the money they earn

This is excellent. Corporate greed supports this wingnuts and keeps them busy with the irrelevant. Great to see a group stepping up to the challenge of corporate propaganda.

Now libs are opposed to a company making a profit. To moonbats like you midcan, companies are not in business to make a profit, but to pay the maximum in taxes for the sake of the common good

They just don't want Barry's past brought up so if anyone says anything negative about berry they will be labeled a swiftboater. Which has become a derogatory word by the MSM.

Libs are sore losers and always resort to name calling when they lack substance in their arguments.

Nonsense.

They want to prevent the kind of deceit and distortion the Swiftboat Liars for Bush spread.

If the Swiftboaters were liars, why hasn't Kerry done what he needs to collect the $1m reward from Pickens?

Swiftboating = Telling the truth about someone.

How can you be swiftboating and lying at the same time?

Now I understand how Obama wins over people

Uh, Joe, you fight (alleged) deceit and distortion by speaking the truth. Not by silencing free speech through intimidation. Once again, the left goes Commie and attempts to eviscerate the 1st Amendment.

Agreed Abbey, a blatant attempt to suppress free speech and the political process.





I've noticed they've taken down the webpage that was linked in the second part of the letter: www.accountableamerica.org

Here they offered an $100,000 'reward' to encourage whistleblowers and others with information about unlawful conduct by business-orientated or conservative section 501(c) and 527 groups to bring their information to the attention of law enforcement authorities.

Funny thing, the accountable america website is funded by Soros', moveon.org.

So much for non-partisan.

I am still waiting for McTraitor's former service buddies to be acknowledged and heard. I am guessing it will be after the party conventions. They will be able to paint McTraitor for what he truly is.
