Dead Cant Rant

The Kerry campaign, major media and other radical-left groups have recently whined about the Evil Republican™ ties to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Sure, one or two of the guys knows somebody who knows somebody who has donated to the Bush campaign, but for the Kerry campaign it’s downright incestuous. Zack Exley is the Kerry-Edwards Internet Director — a position he held at MoveOn.org prior to officially joining the campaign. Since March, MoveOn “has spent more than $2.5 million on TV ads that attack President Bush.” CNN:

But under the new campaign-finance law, those efforts cannot be coordinated with the Kerry campaign.

A MoveOn statement said Exley and the staff of all MoveOn entities have agreed that they will not be in contact through the election period to avoid the appearance of coordination, “even though federal election rules permit some forms of communication.”

We’re sure that the timing of MoveOn’s recent anti-Bush ad, conveniently condemned by Kerry, wasn’t “coordination.” Collaboration maybe, but not coordination. Lawyers — like liberals — love to redefine words.

But I digress.

The most laughable portion of the Kerry campaign’s paranoid delusions of Evil Republican™ puppet masters pulling the Swift Vets’ strings and stuffing the group’s pockets with filthy corporate dollars, is the simple fact that the Swift Vets only received one hundred thousand bourgeois dollars from their top donor, while the top donor to Democratic 527s has contributed more than twenty million dollars. The Joint Victory Campaign 2004 has likewise donated more than 20 million dollars to Democratic 527s, and George Soros has funneled nearly 13 million dollars to various Democratic 527s.

Why doesn’t the media report on the terrible grip the Evil Corporate Democrats have on American politics? Could it be because the media wants Kerry to win? Of course not; there’s no liberal media bias!
