Left Wing Group Threatens Republican Donors

From Newsmax and the New York Times:

Brownshirts at heart.

A new left-wing organization that wants to help elect Barack Obama president is sending letters to nearly 10,000 major donors who contribute to Republican causes, threatening them with potential legal problems if they finance conservative groups.

The nonprofit organization, Accountable America, is even offering a $100,000 reward for information that leads to the criminal conviction or fines of at least $10,000 for violations of campaign finance laws or other statutes by a conservative group, according to The New York Times.

Accountable America is led by Tom Matzzie, former Washington director of the liberal activist group MoveOn.org, and its research director is Judd Legum, who served that role in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Matzzie called the organization’s effort “going for the jugular.” He told The Times, "We want to stop the Swift Boating before it gets off the ground.”

The warning letter being sent to potential donors “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 Times reports.

So, a left-wing Moveon.org spinoff group is trying to intimidate and threaten Republican campaign donors. Ah, can't you just smell the freedom ? They are probably just upset that the Supreme Court hasn't made it illegal to donate to the GOP yet. I'm also wondering how this Matzzie guy has the cojones to complain about Swift Boating when he comes from Moveon.org, who authored the 'General Betray-Us' ad that unjustly smeared U.S. Iraq commander General David Petraeus. I guess irony, hypocrisy, and self-awareness aren't Matzzie's strong suits. Nor integrity.

I know I can't wait until people like this take over the country. Say goodbye to talk radio, and say goodbye to secret ballots. The tolerant, inclusive, diverse, and compassionate liberals welcome all viewpoints, as long as they are liberal viewpoints. All other viewpoints must be legislated or litigated away. I'm certain that's exactly what our Founding Fathers had in mind.

    My only argument with the last paragraph is that the truly "englighened citizen" would change- liberal viewpoints to proper viewpoint. King, fascism is alive and growing and a susual the left is engaged in the very thing they accuse others of doing.

    I saw in an op-ed last week where even George McGovern said the union secret ballot plan being pushed by Dems was bad. He is free to do so now that he is irrelevant. That should tell you what you need to know about the new "card check" or whatever it is called.

  • Da King

    Ben, I read about McGovern opposing card check too. He accused the liberals of abandoning long-standing democratic principles in their lust for power.

    Seems George has learned a thing or two over the years.

    I probably shouldn't admit this, but McGovern was the guy I voted for in my first presidential election, when I was eighteen years old. What can I say ? I was young, in college, and brainwashed by the left. I learned some things over the years too.

    angry c,
    You know, I NEVER see conservatives trying to stop liberals from speaking or participating in the political process, yet liberals seem to get apoplectic every time a conservative opens his/her mouth. It's as if they are deathly afraid of conservative political thought. I wonder why ? :-)

  • angry conserv

    That is because there are no truths only tools to power. Nikolai Bukharian one of the leading Bolshevik theorists stated shortly after his fellow communists came to power "We asked for freedom of press,thought and civil liberties because we were in the oppostion and needed those liberties to conquer. Now that we have conquered there is no need for any such civil liberties".

  • roysoldboy

    So da King voted for McGovern? You were still in that age group that always hears only the good sounds of liberals without ever seeing the other side of what they say. It was McGovern who changed me from a solid Democrat with his socialist talk and his promise to "give" welfare people $5200 annual wages. When the group of California welfare people who made up nearly 50% of the delegation, that year, trapped McGovern on a staircase with tv cameras rolling and almost forced him to make that promise I decided I just couldn't vote for one like him. I haven't cast one vote for a Democrat for President since then and surely won't be doing that this year.

    Angry conserve, you have offered one of the soundest truths of how the left operates. The Left of today is very little different than the Bolsheviks of the early 20th century but they are at least as good at hiding what they intend for us.

    Long gone is the comfort zone which was afforded by a monopoly of main-stream media. Free speech was a swell thing, as long as they were the only ones participating. Now that the left-wing stranglehold of media has been broken, martial law is being carried out by liberal gestapos?

    Why go through all this trouble? Isn't this their year? What a joke. Much less effort will be required to sink the messiah, in contrast to Kerry's swiftboats. He's doing all the work himself.

    Roy,
    Back in 1972, as Alex just pointed out, the media was still wall-to-wall Democrats, with Walter Cronkite telling us "that's the way it is", even though Walter wasn't really always telling us the way things were, only the way he wanted them to be. The university was selling straight liberalism back then also, and pretty much the only conservative voice heard was William F. Buckley, who sounded like a stranger in a strange land arguing with all those Democrats. The anti-war sentiment was running high, and I got sucked into it. Somewhere around the time Pol Pot and the Vietcong started massacring millions of southeast asians after the U.S. achieved "Peace With Honor" in Vietnam, I started questioning the wisdom of what the liberal swine were selling. Later, when the peanut farmer illustrated what a liberal president does, and then Reagan followed and showed what a conservative does, I became sold on the idea of low taxes, limited government, and a strong national defense. I have always remained fairly libertarian on social matters, but liberalism is a sham that promotes dependency, division, economic weakness, and loss of liberty (the Obama/Pelosi/Reid principles), and it ultimately leads to totalitarianism via socialism. No thanks.

  • angry conserv

    Well said King the last two sentences says it ALL

  • The Reverend

    The Republican crime machine must constantly be watched…..because they constantly committ crimes. They suppress votes and jam phones and fire federal attorneys before an election who won't illegally prosecute Democrats.

    Liberalism is no sham. Liberalism, true liberalism, is what has made America great. Corporate liberalism is not true liberalism.

    America has a $13 trillion yearly economy. The biggest surge in the economy and in individual and national prosperity came under a Democratic president. Some government dependency.

    The "loss of liberty" is especially rich considering the elimination of a host of individual constitutionally guaranteed rights by the criminal GOP'ers in power.

  • larry d.

    What is true liberalism, Reverend. Is it the same as 'rules are rules'?
