With all the horsecrap being tossed around MoveOn.org, it might be worth refreshing some memories and introducing others to Bob Perry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_PerryPolitical donations
527 groups
In the 2004 election cycle, Perry gave $4.45 million to Swift Vets and POWs for Truth (formerly Swift Boat Veterans for Truth), a 527 group; he was the largest single donor.<4>
In that cycle, Perry also donated $3 million to Progress for America Voter Fund. In all, he donated almost $8.1 million to 527 group in 2003-2004.<4>
In mid-2006, Perry donated $5,000,000 to found a new 527 group, the Economic Freedom Fund. The $5 million makes the group one of the top ten in the 2006 election cycle.<5> He also appears to be the sole donor to Americans for Honesty on Issues. These groups have primarily paid for negative advertisements targeting Democratic Party candidates in the 2006 United States general election.
Here's over 13 million spent on lies and slander...and that doesn't count his current pet projects...working for Mittens. This dude makes George Soros look like a piker.
