Another stimulus slush fund for liberal activists
Erick Erickson at RedState shines light on a $90 million set-aside in the “stimulus” for the left-wing Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, which is buried in the larger Boob Tube bailout for digital TV:
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (”LCCR”) is a far left interest group.
The group opposed conservative judges. The group agitates for card check. The group is in favor of the Fairness Doctrine. It is chiefly an agitator for affirmative action programs and tries to pressure banks into giving high risk loans like those that caused the housing crisis. If you oppose them, they label you a racist.
LCCR operates like ACORN. And the Senate Democrats are about to give the $90 million of your money.
Under the cover of the digital television conversion delay, the Senate Democrats want to give the LCCR $90 million.
As I said last week in my ACORN column:
Any self-respecting Senate Republican who would vote for this multi-billion-dollar slush fund in the name of saving the economy needs his or her head examined.

I just love it when the Republicans help liberals kick them in their own butts over and over again.
Americans need to wake the hell up and start letting these people know that their behavior is highly UNSAT.
all during the bush years and the republican congress, they kept funding the Left (acorn etc) paying their enemies to defeat them…idiotic.
And where are the millions going to conservative activists?
oh never mind…
Bend Over Republicans is right…they keep bending over and pointing at their rear ends, saying “Kick Me!!”
Approved of by Sen. Mitch McConnell and other BO RINO types I am sure.
In case you will to tell the weenie what a weenie he is this is the contact page.
Would it be too much to ask to bar all community organizing groups from getting tax dollars, period, end of story? Let them raise it the old fashioned way, through George Soros. Why we have to have our own tax dollars used against us is incomprehensible.
Last week, one of the talking heads on cable news said that the stimulus bill had $198,000,000 in it for Filipino war veterans. If anyone has some insight on this and can verify, I would appreciate it.
there fixed it for ya
Let them have it, the Republicans should either filibuster everything, or sit down and vote for nothing.
There, fixed it for ya.
