McCain hires advisor who is linked to Swift Lies and DeLay/TRMPAC
In case there is anyone reading DU who still thinks McCain has a shred of integrity or decency, check out this thread:

My post to that thread (# 2):

In 2005, Nelson helped launch an astroturf firm named Crosslink Strategy Group:

Nelson and his partners at DMNM launched another firm this year, Crosslink Strategy Group, to manufacture “grassroots” campaigns for corporations and interest groups. Ironically, the firm’s website pledges to teach clients how to “increase your PAC fundraising” and ensure “compliance with campaign finance laws.” There is no mention that one of Crosslink’s founders is an uncharged conspirator in TRMPAC’s alleged money laundering scheme. Crosslink also employs Chris LaCivita, who helped design Swift Boat Veterans for Truth’s anti-Kerry ads, which some analysts said looked like trademark Rove attacks.


Also in 2005, Nelson served as a consultant to the pro-privatization business group Compass, to run its “grassroots” Social Security privatization campaign.

Edit to add: the Texas Observer article is EXCELLENT. Recommended reading.


I think it would be good for many people to see this! Please k& r the linked thread if you agree.
