If you’ll recall, I expressed some level of question as regards the speed with which the “outrage’ hit the airwaves about the ads the president’s been running.
For a few days I was alone in my questioning of it. But now, (thank God..) people are starting on learning the truth
To listen to media whining for the last couple weeks, you ‘d think that all this was because a group of people associated with September 11th victims were so mad they got together to protest Mr. Bush, and that all that outrage was spontaneous.
Nope.
We’re now finding out that’s not true… and all it took was about 15 minutes with Google. Lookie what Bithead found!
Seems that a group calling itself “September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows” [1] being funded by George Soros among others had this reaction all planned out, knowing full well the subject would come up.
This is not outrage… this is cynical Democrat party politics as usual, and Mr. Bush should be calling Kerry out on this one.
Oh, but hold da phone… you’ve seen NOTHING yet. This gets even better! In my searching, I find that “Peaceful Tomorrows” is listed as an official project of the Tides Center [2]and its parent group, the Tides Foundation which is a radical leftist group I’ve mentioned before as one funded by Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democrat candidate John Kerry. The Kerrys have poured over $4 million to the Tides Foundation between 1995-2001. Two other Heinz family foundations have poured in an additional $2 million.
They claim of course, on their site that :
“September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows has never received funding from Teresa Heinz Kerry, John Kerry, the Howard Heinz Endowment, or the Vira I. Heinz Endowment. We have no connection with the Heinz or Kerry families through Tides Foundation, the Tides Center or any other entity.”
Ah, but wait… and re read that response with some care, and you may notice that this carefully crafted rebuttal doesn’t adddress, much less answer the question of them getting money from TIDES, which in turn was funded by Kerry and company.
Clinton himself couldn’t wiggle better. The impression they’re trying to leave, that they got no funding whatever from Kerry…simply does not wash with the tax records. They did, in fact, get money form Tides and the other Kerry orgs, and they’re trying to cover Kerry’s butt with a bit of slight of hand.
“Tides”, and ” Peaceful Tomorrows” should be examined by the IRS, and by the FEC for federal level violations, and the Kerrys belong in jail over this one. This kind of cynical ploy at the expense of the victims of 9/11 cannot go unchallanged.
