Power Line links to a listing of the top contributors to 527 committees. Turns out that 24 of the top 25 big money contributors to 527's are Democrats. You know, the party of the little guy, and the billionaire candidate.
Back in March, David Tell tried his best to put into understandable English what 527 organizations are all about. It's worth looking at again as Kerry and his party cry foul about the swift boat vets and their advertisement, which cost chump change compared to the tens of millions spent by Democratic 527's on ads portraying Bush as a liar, a deserter, The Fuhrer, you name it.
According to Democrats, their 527 groups deserve to be heard, the flimsiness of their evidence and the distortions of reality in their charges notwithstanding. The swift boat group however, should be silenced, by the FEC if necessary. What next? Book burnings?
Posted by dan at August 22, 2004 08:05 PMIf Tell is correct that Soros' contributions are illegal how come no one's filed a complaint? Right now, Kerry Edwards are conserving resources while the anti-Bush 527s are letting loose.
