Big Coffers and a Rising Voice Lift Group on the Right

[Klukie]

Freedom’s Watch, a deep-pocketed conservative group led by two former senior White House officials, made an audacious debut in late August when it began a $15 million advertising campaign designed to maintain Congressional support for President Bush’s troop increase in Iraq.



Founded this summer by a dozen wealthy conservatives, the nonprofit group is set apart from most advocacy groups by the immense wealth of its core group of benefactors, its intention to far outspend its rivals and its ambition to pursue a wide-ranging agenda. Its next target: Iran policy.

1. Interesting How Much Press This Group Gets

Somebody certainly wants us to know the big bad wolf is at the door

2. The 'Conservative Voice' of a dozen SUPER rich Right Wing Extremists

An entire DOZEN of them ..... ALL apologists for Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Gaffney and the rest of the lying AEI cabal ....

The Freedom's Watch group paints itself as a counter to Move On, yet Move On was the product of many MILLIONS of grass roots citizens .... and Freedom's Watch is a product of the PNAC ... the VERY SAME people who brought you the LIES of the Iraq War .... MILLIONS against one dozen: YOU do the math ....

Their money is filthy lucre .... their goal is to use LOTS of money to overwhelm the media with their message: The message of one dozen extreme right wing war crazies from the AEI ....

Freedom's Watch should be harangued and hectored in the public square for LYING this country into war ..... It is THEIR FAULT what has happened their since. This front group for corporatist supporters of the current failed regime in Washington, is exposed now ....

This is a great opportunity to SLAM DUNK their lying asses ..... Its literally a gift ....

Get'm ....
