Thread: 2016 Democratic US Presidential Candidates

You know, at the age of 55 this is a bit of a humbling admission. Most American white people of my age band are just plain idiots. Politically & economically speaking, the best hope for America is for my generation to die out. But that is just nature. What an awfully disappointing generation I belong to.

Well, the following could be posted in this here thread or the Liberal Media one as well:

Media Matters Head Admits Their Purpose Is To Defend Hillary Clinton, In Violation Of Non-Profit Status

.

Not even shy about it.

"Media Matters For America founder David Brock admitted Monday that his nonprofit, tax-exempt organization specifically defends Hillary Clinton, a political candidate for office, from Republican criticism.4

Brock’s stunning admission calls into question the nonprofit status of his left-wing media monitoring organization.What do you think?

Brock made the admission in an op-ed defending his group’s association with Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary Clinton’s political adviser and informal Libya consultant.What do you think?

Blumenthal fed Clinton information from Media Matters while advising the former secretary of state in the aftermath of the Benghazi terrorist attack. Blumenthal was serving as a paid Media Matters consultant at the time.1

Blumenthal testified in a closed-door session last week with Rep. Trey Gowdy’s House Select Committee on Benghazi.3

“By refusing to release the transcript, the Republicans want to hide the true nature of the Blumenthal deposition: Their partisan attempt to both chill Blumenthal’s right to freely express his own political views and more broadly to intimidate our organizations — organizations that have led the way in exposing the fraudulence of the Benghazi investigation itself. (Not to mention our role in specifically defending Hillary Clinton from the Republicans’ unfair attacks on the subject),” Brock wrote.What do you think?

Media Matters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.2

“Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office,” according to IRS rules.2

“Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes,” according to the IRS.What do you think?

Blumenthal and Brock have a longstanding relationship dating back to the 1990’s. Blumenthal has been credited with helping bring Brock, formerly a conservative journalist, into the Clinton-world political establishment.What do you think?

Brock did not return a request for comment."

Imagine that!

The question you have to ask yourself is whether or not pointing out Republican lies constitutes "directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign".

And the answer, of course, is no.

It's just pointing out Republican lies.

Another piss poor Booners gentle-breeze-in-a-teacup.

You got only one person and that's the failed community agitator to blame.

"Didn't have a good record"?

Is that how you describe someone who created the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression?

What do you call Hitler? A "cheeky rascal having a bit of a laugh"?

Charles Manson? A "fun loving hippie"?

You seem to ignore the fact that democrats were implicit in creating the conditions which led up to the housing collapse.
