Watch for the Corporate Funded Fake Activist Groups

[JBeukema]

Rachel Maddow warns us about the lastest astroturf group which we're sure to see more of as the debate over financial reform continues. As she notes, Rick Berman has been setting up web sites and corporate front groups that mirror legitimate watchdog sites to try to undermine them. The Consumer Rights League was set up in 2007 and it shares the same acronym with the Center for Responsible Lending, which was set up thirty years ago as an actual consumer rights group. The Consumer Rights League is now organizing protests against the real consumer rights group, the Center for Responsible Lending.

I memory serves, she was one of the first to air the unedited tape, but I don't you care much for the truth as pertains to Acorn.

I don't like when dead people, illegals, and fictional persons vote, nor when people vote multiple times.

I wonder when Rachel will warn us all about the many new names for 'ACORN'.

And I wonder when someone will show me a conviction that occurred against ACORN.

This in no way pertains to the teabaggers who were in no way funded by PACs run by Dick Armey with money from pharmaceutical companies.
