But why bother? The above correspondent will only watch The Squawking Heads again, tonight, and simply reload his clip, so to speak.

My handle is Scheisskopf, not Sisyphus.

All that aside, if any non-profits are taking money to become astroturf orgs, they need a big spanking, by both their remaining ethical members and by any appropriate legal authority, if applicable.

I may be a big ol' liberal(and combatively proud of the fact...), but I ain't no rubberstamp. Any non-profit, no matter what their political stamp, crosses the line when they astroturf for large corporate concerns.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18121612 Thu, 05 Apr 2007 13:20:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18121516 anon : This thread could get ugly quickly...
WITH THAT BEING SAID:

I can see "once meaninful organizations like the ACLU
and the NAACP with thier hand stuck out for hand outs.
And it is really too bad, many of those organizations
once stood for good principles but have turned to the
dark side in supporting socialist and ultra leftist
(though not exactly liberal) positions. In America it
really doesn't matter so much being conservative or
liberal as long as you legitamately care for your beliefs
or you are absolutely right about your beliefs. It is
sad that onced revered organizations that were nearly
respected as the Red Cross is now run by crooks and are
looked up with disdain similair to organizations like
NAMBLA. Even though these groups have sold out to the telecoms unfortunetly the ignorant masses and those who
will have no voice like the elderly and disabled will have
no choice to continue to support these frauds.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18121516 Thu, 05 Apr 2007 13:03:57 EDT
