The Right Wing is funded by people who have gone off the deep end
Edited on Sun Nov-04-07 06:53 PM by ck4829
There's a reason why the Right keeps bringing up George Soros.

It's because they really don't want to bring up who funds their movement, basically, it's a bunch of loonies.

Erik Prince - Founder and sole owner of Blackwater USA and has donated over $200,000 to Republican causes. Prince is also apparently allergic to cameras, he will put his hands in front of his face at the sight of them and makes Blackwater lackeys enter into confidentiality agreements saying they won't talk about him.

Richard Mellon Scaife - Funder of conservative causes from Accuracy in Media to the Vince Foster conspiracy theories. He was also the main source of funding behind the attacks on Bill Clinton. For someone who liked to make every detail of someone's life known, he didn't like it when the tables were turned on him, once unleashing a string of obscenities on a reporter who wanted to ask him a couple of questions. Scaife was also said to check under his bed before he went to bed and (no joke BTW) someone once told him that soviets were planning on invading the US from a nearby forest. He sent a reporter to investigate, when people he asked questions to looked at him as though he was high on something, Scaife came to the conclusion that the people in the area were all part of the Soviet plot.

Bruce Kovner - Many people probably don't know who he is, but he is the chairman of the American Enterprise Institute, the think tank which came up with many of the Bush Administration's policies, including the 'surge'. Kovner is not only secretive, but a room in his mansion was built that could withstand chemical, biological, or dirty bomb attacks.

2. The Funders of This Fiasco Were Never Even on the Dock
They did not abandon sanity, it is a foreign land and language to them. They don't dig democracy or a republic because they came from the Borg.

4. Nearly every major conference on C-Span is an AEI event.
Look at the logos in the background.
