Liberal Group Puts Bounty on Head of Chamber of Commerce CEO
« on: December 08, 2009, 04:11:53 AM »


Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue is a wanted man -- at least according to the liberal activist group that's put a de facto bounty on his head.

A network of liberal groups known as Velvet Revolution started an ad campaign offering $200,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the man whose trade organization has become a thorn in the side of the Obama administration and congressional Democrats.

The group is not leveling any specific charges of criminal behavior. Rather, it is casting a wide net, fishing for any whistleblowers from Donohue's past who might come forward with allegations of wrongdoing. The campaign against the Chamber was launched in response to the group's opposition to climate change legislation and health care reform, and its plan to spend $100 million lobbying against these and other initiatives.

"On every issue, the Chamber is kind of the lead corporate advocate for the status quo," said Kevin Zeese, a lawyer who sits on the board for Velvet Revolution, calling Donohue a "knee-jerk reactionary" and the Chamber a "right-wing extremist group."

The Chamber of Commerce, meanwhile, decried the ad campaign and threatened possible legal action.

Two can play at that game and I am pretty sure the left really doesn't want to see their skeletons brought to light.

Next up: bounties on anyone who disagrees with the Obama agenda as being "enemies of humanity", "hate-criminals", etc.

What else would you expect from Che/Chavez/Castro/Mao supporters? The bad thing about it is, those damn idiots are now running the country.

Problem is that a large percentage of Americans still get their "news" from the big 3... and they haven't done real news in a very long time.

Two can, indeed, play at that game.  The owner/operator of velvetrevolution.us is none other than Brad Friedman, who's super-inflated ego is on terrible display at his little worship-me website: http://www.bradfriedman.com/

Accordingly, since his offer of a monetary inducement is arguably an attempt to engage in, or conspiracy to engage in, abuse of process, he's a fit subject for a similar wanted poster:

Ok, clue me in.  Since most of my TV right now is either from Taiwan, Korea or Japan, who is Brad Freeman, and is he the kind of guy who makes listening to Korean a fair exchange for decent acting/stories/TV/Movies?

They are worth less than that....
