Someone call Kerry an anti-government Marxist already. Make him defend his position.

one anarchist outfit planning disruptions

Isn't "planning" against an anarchist's code?

Can the Tides Foundation be held legally responsible since they have given that bunch cash for any and all damage and injuries inflicted?

The following was on the Snopes.com site. I have had your posting come in my email also.



According to Heinz Endowments President Maxwell King:


In recent weeks, The Heinz Endowments has been accused of using its funding of the Tides Center of Western Pennsylvania to advance a laundry list of partisan causes and fringe political groups. This accusation is simply wrong.

It originated in an opinion column written by a researcher for the conservative, Washington, D.C.-based Capital Research Center. The crux of CRC’s argument is that money directed by the Endowments to Tides is "fungible." By supporting projects through Tides, CRC alleged that Heinz has secretly funneled money to every other organization that has ever received funding through Tides Center and the separate Tides Foundation.

Since first being published in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, CRC’s accusation has been picked up and expanded in opinion pieces in a number of newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and the Washington Times. But not even these publications have leveled this allegation in actual news stories.

The reason why is obvious: The charge does not stand up to objective scrutiny. Four facts undercut it completely. First, by legally binding contract, every penny of Heinz’s support to Tides has been explicitly directed to specific projects in Pennsylvania. It cannot legally be redirected and is the exact opposite of fungible.

Second, the Tides Center is a provider of management and administrative services, and we have used it only for those services, not to advance Tides’ grantmaking agenda. Foundations from all across the country-many, like Heinz, with strong centrist agendas-use these services to incubate an array of nonprofit programs. So does the federal government. It is no more accurate to suggest that Heinz supports every one of these programs than it is to suggest that someone who contributes to a specific group through the United Way supports the agenda of every other United Way beneficiary.

Third, the projects we have supported through Tides speak for themselves. They include programs to test the career readiness of area high school students, protect Pittsburgh’s environment and retain young people in our region-hardly an extremist agenda.

Fourth and finally, information about every one of our Tides-related grants is and always has been readily available in our public filings, annual reports and here on our web site. Far from being secretive, we have been consistently open in detailing the nature of our grants to Tides and every other organization we fund.

So if Cheney's wife were funding dim protesters that would probably be OK, don't you think?

O'Reilly just chatted about the Ruckus folks being funded by some Heinz-Kerry loot. Fine bunch of extremists, I'm sure...

I guess Kerry is not subject to spending limits, but isn't she limited in how much hard money she can give? Seems like this ought to be considered a contribution of hard money.

And so, if we watch horses in neighing and whinneying in pain from falls owing to these folks or terrorists appearing to be these folks, what recourse do we have? And the injuries to the police? The speakers? The attendees? I hope people tear off these folks' masks.

Pretty much explains why it is Tay Raise Ahhhh isn't in a hurry to make her full tax returns available, eh?

The more America learns about HER, the less likely Kerry will win.

Its that simple.

It may not be illegal, but as the Brits would say, "Bad Form".

Teresa Heinz Kerry's favorite charity has also funded The Ruckus Society, an anarchist group known for disrupting the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle in 1999 and planning similar disruptions for the New York convention. The group has been training protesters for the GOP convention in the art of sit-ins and blockades.

Teresa rivals Hillary when it comes to anti American causes. Why are all Democrats scum? And why are the Democrat voters just like them?
