The missing link? Partner of GOPUSA founder has checkered past as Republican moneyman
Did Bruce Eberle get Gannon top White House access?
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/index.php?p=104 Many have wondered how Bobby Eberle, an former engineer with no journalism experience who never donated to a political campaign managed to get Jeff Gannon so deep into the White House. Bobby received money from the Republican Party just once–a meager $165 for travel expenses when he spoke to the Smith County Republicans in East Texas. He did not receive an honorarium.
<...>
And what’s more, he’s raised money; Bruce boasts of raising more than $270 million for various organizations and campaigns, the vast plurality of them conservative. His clients have included Ronald Reagan, Pat Buchanan, Oliver North and former Bush Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Bruce’s firm, Bruce W. Eberle & Associates, is also a top corporate sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference. Vice President Dick Cheney and top Bush advisor Karl Rove spoke at the conference Thursday.

In the mid-1990s, it was discovered that some $1.9 million of $2.2 million raised to “rescue” Vietnam prisoners of war was spent on “fundraising expenses” paid to Bruce’s firm. No prisoners of war were ever rescued, or, for that matter, even reported.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ)–who was once a Vietnam prisoner of war himself–called Bruce and his associates “criminals and some of the most craven, most cynical and most despicable human beings to ever run a scam.”
So, these people are working to subvert our media via Bruce Eberle's Omega List Company, plant shills into the White House Press Corps to spread Bush admin propogannon, and have scammed people out of millions.
Utterly disgusting.
And where the hell is our mainstream media????
