See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil?

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" ...

Re: See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil?

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
