Adelson-Funded Freedom's Watch Donates to Pro-McCain Vets Group
Pro-war advocacy group Freedom's Watch has made a "significant" contribution to support a planned $10 million ad campaign by the pro-McCain Vets for Freedom, National Journal's Peter Stone reports (sub. only):
The group [Vets for Freedom] expects to spend close to $10 million on a four month advertising and grassroots drive to make the case that the Bush administration’s policies in Iraq and Afghanistan are making significant progress, says its chairman, Pete Hegseth. Vets for Freedom boasts some 25,000 members. The first part of the campaign is a two-week, $1.5 million ad buy this month in five battleground states. According to a GOP consultant familiar with the group, it received a “significant” donation from Freedom’s Watch, which is largely funded by Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. Freedom’s Watch has also helped the veterans group find large donors to bankroll its operations, according to the consultant.
Several members of the Vets for Freedom advisory board, among them ret. US Army Lt. Col. John Nagl and the Brookings Institution's Michael O'Hanlon, recently departed the group's advisory board, because of its partisan activities.
Comments
Adelson has 28 billion dollars to donate to Zionist causes. Unfortunately for those that receive his money, it has been less than helpful. Look at poor Olmert. He will loose power shortly, unless he takes Clinton's advice in wag the tail of the dog, by attacking Iran(You will remember that Clinton attacked Yugoslavia and the Chinese embassy there.)
Israel's prime minister scammed his country's revered Holocaust memorial, a charity for disabled children and other groups out of $100,000 in a brazen double-billing scheme, investigators said yesterday.
They said Ehud Olmert personally ran the fraud and used the money to finance lavish family trips abroad.
One law-enforcement official said Olmert would have been arrested already if he weren't prime minister.
This is the type of people that Adelson, Bush, and McCain hang with. Their policies are policies of the past. It is time for change. Vote for Ralph Nader.
