Title: Liberal Group Puts Bounty on Head of Chamber of Commerce CEO
Post by: TheSarge on December 08, 2009, 04:11:53 AM: (http://www.foxnews.com/static/managed/img/Politics/wantedposter_monster_397x224.jpg)

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.

Sure, but remember - If they do it its for the common good - If we do it, its a hate crime.

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.

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:

They are worth less than that....

At least what a cow leaves can be used as fertilizer....

A human body makes for good fertilizer too. Except I want the current administration to live forever so they can see what a total clusterflug they made for years and years to come.

By the mainstream media?
