Reply #6: fwiw, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation

[cosmicdot]

... hyperlinked from the article's mention of the Allen-Bradley Foundation ... provided what I assume is some key seed money to the Progressive Policy Institute, which is associated with the DLC or as it is known on the Internet, http://www.ndol.org (new dems online) ... PPI isn't listed here:

http://www.dkosopedia.com/index.php/Bradley_Foundation#Funding_Source_For: (see below for this list)

but, mediatransparency.org has the information here:

http://www.mediatransparency.org/search_results/info_on_any_recipient.php?recipientID=449

The John M. Olin Foundation and Smith Richardson (part of the "Four Sisters for their tendency to fund similar conservative projects, publications and institutions") are on the mediatransparency.org list of contributors to PPI, too.

For me, things like this just cloud-over who is who and on whose side who is on.
