Does anyone really pay attention to these groups? This is such a non-sequitur it's hilarious, yet irritating at the same time. Someone needs to clue these groups into a little story called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" ... |

| I'd point out that certain civil rights groups carry an enormous amount of influence with some legislators, and can be pretty much guaranteed a hearing.
That being said, I didn't recognize any of the groups listed in the article. That doesn't mean they aren't legit, but if I were a particularly devious PR flak, I might consider astroturfing "civil rights" groups in much the same way I astroturf more obvious interest groups.
Here's the list from the article, if anyone knows anything about any of them:
National Black Chamber of Commerce, Latinos in Information Sciences and Technology Association, League of Rural Voters, and National Council of Women's Organizations |
