What a Shock: "Texans for Truth" Violating Campaign Finance Laws

Ron just blows my mind with the thought that liberals like passing lots and lots of campaign rules to restrict their opponents, while flagrantly violating those same laws and hoping the LLM will, as usual, not make a big deal about it:

WASHINGTON - A group of watchdog organizations charged Friday that Texans for Truth, whose TV ads question President Bush's service in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, has violated campaign fund-raising laws.

The Washington-based watchdog organizations, Democracy 21, the Campaign Legal Center and the Center for Responsive Politics, made the allegation in a complaint to the Federal Election Commission.

The complaint says Texans for Truth is accepting contributions and running advertisements to influence the presidential race and therefore comes under campaign finance limits, which cap individual contributions at $2,000 from an individual and $5,000 from a political committee.

Texans for Truth has reported a $100,000 contribution from Daniel O'Keefe, a California television producer.

So, when are you going to post an apology to Josh Marshall?

Posted by: ahem on September 26, 2004 02:04 PM

influencing a Presidential election...

Don't get me wrong, cause I like what the SBVT guys did, but couldn't you make the same argument with them?

A bit off topic but wanted to call attention to this one -

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=11&u=/ap/20040926/ap_on_en_tv/tv_cbs_fallout

An AP Story on the Rathergate fallout - at the bottom, under "On the net" - links to CBSnews.com and RATHERGATE.com.

How did that slip through?

Mr. ahem, you do realize that the alternative story makes Marshall and CBS sound even worse, right?

Unless left wing pundits collaborating with producers on stories is normal that is =p. Ace will probably post a correction sooner or later but Marshall should probably thank Ace for trying to cover up his "story" rather than Ace issue an apology.

What really pisses me off is that the FEC isn't going to do a damn thing until after the election. By then who'll care? The FEC is saying basically its open season. The irony here is that I agree with the principle but they put a law on the books.
This is just another symptom of the lack of accountability in public life. Jane Fonda got away with eason. Jesse Jackson violates the Logan Act at will. Al Sharpton commits massive fraud and becomes a respected part of the establishment. Kerry admits to either carrying out War Crimes, and or not reporting them to people in authority or was lying to congress under oath. Then while still an officer goes to Paris and meets with the enemy on a "fact finding" trip. I'm not even going to discuss the Clintons.
If Rather gets the ax, it be the first step on the long road to restoring accountability in our society.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
