LISA GRAVES: The face – and mouth of the uber-liberal Center for Media and Democracy.
A few wealthy, anonymous donors funded a liberal activist group working on the failed recall of Wisconsin’s governor, Watchdog.org has learned.
Nearly 75 percent of the money funneled into the Center for Media and Democracy during 2011 and 2012 came from just a few donors whose names have been redacted from tax forms obtained by Watchdog.
CMD has said, “Most of CMD’s supporters are individual donors who give $5 or more a year to help support the Center’s general operations.”
Those “operations” included contributing to the unsuccessful but expensive effort by liberals and labor unions to unseat GOP Gov. Scott Walker in 2011 following his successful reform of Wisconsin’s public-employee benefits system.
CMD remains in the thick of things, recently using its own blog to cheerlead the Democratic district attorney of Milwaukee for launching a secret investigation of Walker’s conservative supporters.
There’s irony in the recently revealed CMD tax filings. A nonprofit that pushes its anti-conservative agenda on several blogs and through multiple allied liberal groups, CMD has blasted conservative and libertarian nonprofits for taking money from only a few anonymous donors. Whether on the left, right or anywhere else, it’s all legal: Tax law allows nonprofits to maintain donor anonymity.
Yet when asked in an interview about why she does the same thing, CMD Director Lisa Graves said there’s difference.
“The question of conservative funders versus liberal funders, I think, is a matter of false equivalency,” she said.
Graves refused to respond to phone calls seeking comment for this story.
