New very detailed article on many of theRW groups with smear ads

It details who many of the former funders of the SBVT are funding now. What is very clear is that they are RW creeps and they were and are ready to use any lie to seize power.

One name, among others, caught my eye. Back in 2007, some of the main stream coverage showed sympathy for Fox, when Kerry grilled him - on his funding - of what Fox admitted he knew were false accusations. Kerry, in his quiet, focused way really showed him for what he was, after first showing he knew nothing about Belgium. At the time, I thought that as this was in front of his kis and grandkids, and because it showed he acted in a way that should have caused him shame. Now I see that these people are shameless - or truly think their goals justify their complete dishonesty and willingness to spread false rumours.

Yet, here is Fox now:
"Other groups are also getting support from donors linked to the Swift Boat group, including the New Prosperity Foundation, which is running advertising to support Republican candidates in the Midwest. Hunter Engineering, a private manufacturing firm, gave $50,000 to the group. The company is run by Steven Bauer, a Swift Boat donor and a former ambassador to Belgium under Bush. Sam Fox, a Bush fundraiser and Swift Boat donor who was also appointed to be ambassador to Belgium by Bush in 2007, gave another $25,000 to New Prosperity, as did investment manager David Herro. '

The last sentence is completely confusing, but it is clear that he obviously was completely unrepentant.
