22. Oddly Named Group.

Job Creators Alliance, a Dallas-based nonprofit that develops talking points and op-ed pieces aimed at “shaping the national agenda,” according to the group’s website.

It seems like a group named "Job Creators Alliance" would have "creating jobs" as a main goal. It is in their name after all. Maybe they should be called "Talking Points Alliance", or how about "Bullshit Brigade".

And no Bernard, they are not imbeciles; and statements like “Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” originate from fear and weakness, as do lying assholes propaganda spewing groups such as yours.
