You don't suppose they're afraid of having their funding sources scrutinized under oath, do you?

You mean, people like Howard Ahmanson?

Interesting link on Ahmanson. Here's a bit.

He funded the magazine Chalcedon Report, which carried an article calling for homosexuals to be stoned. He funds the Claremont Institute, a think-tank which promoted a video in which Charlton Heston praises "the God-fearing Caucasian middle class". Although donating to the United States Republican Party, some of his donations have been returned because of his views.

I can do without the promotion of the homosexual lifestyle. I think it's unhealthy for the body and culture. But stoning? That's over the top.

I like Charlton Heston and I like what he did with the NRA. but "the God-fearing Caucasian middle class" quote sounds a bit racist to me.

It was probably smart for the Republicans to return some of his money. It's enlightening that the Discovery Institute does not.

Wow! Hadn't heard about him before.

To paraphrase the Prefect of Police in "Casablanca": "I'm shocked, shocked to discover that people like Howard Ahmanson are major contributors to the Discovery Institute!"

That's the second good laugh I've had already today!
