Group Plans Campaign Against G.O.P. Donors
By MICHAEL LUO
Published: August 7, 2008Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding “warning” letter in the mail next week.
The letter is an opening shot across the bow from an unusual new outside political group on the left that is poised to engage in hardball tactics to prevent similar groups on the right from getting off the ground this fall.
Led by Tom Matzzie, a liberal political operative who has been involved with some prominent left-wing efforts in recent years, the newly formed nonprofit group, Accountable America, is planning to confront donors to conservative groups, hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions.
"Chilling effect", eh? What makes this different from fascist tactics in the '20s and '30s?
Sieg Heil!
Via Instapundit, who notes that he hopes these folks will wear "appropriate attire" when they do their confronting. It would certainly make it easier to pick them out.
Maybe what the right needs is some rapid-reaction teams to confront the confronters.
