One of their first ads years ago featured perfumed prince Gen. Wesley Clarke.
the group though claiming to be a veteran group despite the rather low percentage of veteran members- shows it true colors by putting most of its efforts into backing “clean energy” and “climate change” legislation.
Even “funnier,” in 2010 the group framed their argument for clean energy and environmentalism as a means to deprive Iran of money to use in making IEDs to use against US troops.
Yet when Obama released millions of dollars to the Iranian islamofascist regime, the group unttered not a peep of outrage or even discomfort. They made no ads condemning the financing of a terrorist state whose explosive devices were used so effectively against our troops.
After that they produced an ad about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill featuring a national guardsman...
Near as I can tell the group is an environmental activist group masquerading as a veterans’ group, probably in the hope “enlarging the tent of possible donors” by soliciting donations from national-security-minded conservatives to finance core liberal causes.
Vice chairman was Minnesota Democrat and attorney Jigar Ashwin Madia, said to be an Iraq war veteran...actually a noncombat JAG serving to set up Iraq's legal system. Played as a RINO Republican until 2002 when he switched. Is very much into LGBT advocacy. Surprise surprise.
Also on its board is Teneo’s Doug Band of Hillary email /Clinton Global Initiative fame.
Another VoteVets boardmember is NYT columnist Leslie Gelb, responsible for concocting the infamous “Pentagon Papers” used to betray South Vietnam.
“The group’s early chairman was a Kosovo and Iraqi Freedom veteran, Jon Soltz. Soltz was a Kerry campaign volunteer in 2004 and opposed the surge.”—No wonder I thought of the VVAW right away. . .
Gelb, of course, was another Kerry campaign advisor.
Why? His supporters already think he IS legitimate and no matter how he “acts” you progs will never think he is.
