A new left-wing organization that wants to help elect Barack Obama president is sending letters to nearly 10,000 major donors who contribute to Republican causes, threatening them with potential legal problems if they finance conservative groups.

The nonprofit organization, Accountable America, is even offering a $100,000 reward for information that leads to the criminal conviction or fines of at least $10,000 for violations of campaign finance laws or other statutes by a conservative group, according to The New York Times.

Accountable America is led by Tom Matzzie, former Washington director of the liberal activist group MoveOn.org, and its research director is Judd Legum, who served that role in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Answer 1

Yes, I just read the article and would expect as much from the left. They truly have a handle on dirty politics.  I suggest everyone read the book "The Case Against Obama".  You will get the full story on this dangerous candidate.  

Answer 2

They are offering a reward for information that leads to a criminal conviction?  That sounds to me like support of the judicial process and not a threat to anything.

Unlike the Swift Boat group who used lies, half-truths, and a well-coordinated campaign to undermine a legitimate war hero.  Now, *that's* dirty politics at a well-sunken level.

Answer 3

People are crazy and will do anything to get what they want, even by playing dirty. So yes, it has.

Coming from the Obama party, I am not surprised. The man is ridiculous and his record is very shady. That's why he doesn't have my vote.

That and his ears give me nightmares.

Answer 4

You should know about playing dirty. You told a complete lie and got Best Answer for it. What is it with McCain supporters who think it's alright to be dishonest and corrupt?

Maybe you don't know what you are talking about so you have to stoop to bs.

dave b, do you realize that many republicans don't like McCain because he is too liberal?

Answer 5

Yes, the Republicans are pretty low.  They don't care how many laws they break to win or retain power.  

Thank you, Accountable America for being a watch dog against powerful people buying elections.  It is about time we fought the dirty politics of the Right Wing fascists.

Answer 6

*sigh*, poor people, apparently they haven't realized that threats do nothing but completely remove all credibility from anything they do, and lower the credibility of people will similar views

Answer 7

I've tried to tell all of you that Liberalism is a very real and imminent threat to America, even more so than terrorism right now.

Period.

EDIT: Yeah I know about McCains behind the curtains dealings with Teddy the K, too.

I didnt say I was a supporter of McCains, either. I'm fed up with the whole BS political system for giving us two miserable choices, Obama and only slightly less miserable, McCain.
