Meet the right-wing group masquerading as a mainstream nonprofit -- but pushing extremist laws across the country


A national conservative network (whose backers include the Koch brothers, event sponsors include Facebook, and alumni include Ted Cruz) misrepresented its agenda and activities, and reaped the benefits of mainstream respectability and nonprofit status — while coordinating across states to push a hard-right agenda and enrich its corporate backers — a new report alleges.

The CMD report accuses SPN affiliates of mounting “coordinated efforts to push their agenda, often using the same cookie-cutter research and reports, all while claiming to be independent and creating state-focused solutions …” It charges that, “Although SPN think tanks are registered as educational nonprofits, several appear to orchestrate extensive lobbying and political operations to peddle their legislative agenda to state legislators, despite the IRS’ regulations on nonprofit political and lobbying activities.”

You know the liberal fanatics are coming to the end of their rope, when they start accusing Republicans of using the same tactics that Democrats have used for years, and pretending surprise and outrage.

Sounds like Nixon looking at left wing democrats in 60's and certainly Obama has created a enemies list that makes Nixion's look like a short list.
