For gawd's sake. Do you always listen to and repeat BS. When I first heard that it was hard to believe so I looked it up. Hell, even Rosanne Barr apologized for repeating it.

Soro's dad was friends with a Christian man who took George as his own to save him from the Nazis. They did what they had to do to save his life. Are you are gonna hold him accountable for obeying his father and his benefactor?

You are not talking to fools here. No proof needed. The Kochs started the John Birch Society, "Reason" and many other orgs and pubs. Fact. They started Cato. Fact. They started and run ALEC (fact)....so many more.

I mean...you are effectively asking me if is....is.......

We can't debate at that level.

Bottom line. You love right wing activism but think left wing should go away. That's unAmerican....and also makes zero sense. But you can try.
IIRC, Dick Army was paid to organize the rallies. Koch's let employees off to attend. They paid for the hall and the busses.

It turns out the woman screaming in Flake’s face yesterday is Ana Maria Archila, co-executive director of Soros-funded Center for Popular Democracy and Center for Democracy Action Fund.
It happens all the time. Many of the Democrats who protest are paid activists designed to get air time in the Media who is largely sympathetic to their cause, and have a far left agenda with talking points provided to them by the Democrats.

Ok, so by this thread we have determined that there are many activists and many groups financed by many people with many different agendas.

It is FACT, however, that the Right Wing has pushed the Citizen United case (it was a book about Hillary that prompted it - a hit piece)....so we can say that the Right approves of this more than the left.

If I remember correctly, more Dems lined up for campaign finance reform than Republicans...although some Repubs (McCain was their leader in this cause) wanted it big time.

It was all for naught since the right wing faction of the SCOTUS went for unlimited corporate money and declared a corporation to be a person.

Summary. The Right made the rules.

Summary #2. Those on the Right now don't like it when others play by the same rules they established.

That's about the end of it.......

Saying there is money in politics is like saying there is oxygen in air.

The Right will go after an activist who is paid 50K a year while ignoring BILLIONAIRES who literally make BILLIONS extra because they do the same thing.

I call that hypocrisy. Perhaps the OP and Griz have another name for it?

Never Happen, the GOP would have no one to pick on. The indignation of the right would have no where to go.

Oh, they can find conspiracies in a 5 member organization in the local unitarian church. Don't worry about them...to them, liberalism (the message of our founders) is evil and lying about it is ok because the Ends (authoritarianism and nationalism) are worth ANY means.

God forbid we should lead the world in being progressive and advanced. That would never do...rather we need to harken back to Davy Crokett and Cotton Mather.
