‘We Have Documented Coordination’: Media Matters Head Also Runs Pro-Obama Super PAC

Outside the fictional universe of HBO’s “The Newsroom,” Media Matters for America is pretty universally agreed to be a far Left pressure group disguised as a media criticism outlet. The group’s stated mission to take down Fox News doesn’t help matters, of course, nor do its alleged anti-Christian and anti-Semitic biases. And that’s not even getting into the erratic behavior of the organization’s head, David Brock.
Yet still, the group is treated with some degree of fear, if not respect, simply because of its strong-arm tactics. Brock himself, however, is still considered fair game, and now that he has assumed leadership of the pro-Obama American Bridge Super PAC, he’s likely to be a target of criticism and investigation for some time. Fox News opened fire on Brock today in a segment on Fox and Friends, featuring Daily Caller editor Tucker Carlson.
“We have documented coordination between Brock and the White House, and yet he’s also running this Super PAC,” Carlson said, suggesting that Brock had broken the law prohibiting coordination between a Presidential campaign and its Super PACs.
“That’s a clear violation of campaign law, isn’t it?” Host Steve Doocy asked incredulously.
“There’s clearly coordination, and you can say, ‘Well, that was in my capacity as the head of another organization.’ Okay, but you’re still in regular contact, coordinating a message, and I think that’s a problem,” Carlson responded.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 6:17amDavid Brock is listed as “Treasurer” as American Bridge 21st Century. Doing some digging I found the email address for Amer.Bridge 21st century to be Perking Coie PLG group.
Read the 2011 FEC filing for American Bridge here: http://images.nictusa.com/pdf/228/11931493228/11931493228.pdf#navpanes=0
The same Perkins Coie that employs Robert Bauer (married to Mao lover Anita Dunn), and used to be legal counsel for Obama that now works at Obama’s campaign headquarters.
Perkins Coie is also the law group that Obama pays millions per year to secrete his records.
I blogged about this in February of this year: http://wp.me/pjjbN-96m

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 3:10amI was so proud of my grandson tonight. He is fifteen and he got into a discussion with his friends on our Commie In Chief..My grandson was telling them how bad our Commie is and these kids told him it wasn’t true and how good our Commie is. He was at a friend’s house that the mother is a teacher.. She came into the room and told them that my grandson was correct. He was proud of himself, and said, she is a teacher grandma and said I was right.. I was proud that he didn’t change his view just to please his friends.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 10:20amI would think the same defense that Romney used relative to the ties to his Super PAC should be applicable here. As though the real coordination doesn’t occur through the “unnamed” donors. There is no good argument that contributions to campaigns, national party or PACs shouldn’t be disclosed. Of course they should just like meetings between individuals in Congress and lobbyists should be disclosed along with who the lobbyists represent. If you want truth, that’s truth.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 1:52amIt is clear that Mr Obama and his cronies intend to break every rule in the book in order to return to the White House.They have cynically decided that they will not be pulled up for this in time, or maybe not at all.
And have you wondered why the Black Panthers, who intimidated voters, were never prosecuted? It seems that the Obama organisation might have put them there, and didn’t need that news to come out.
This short 4 part doco features Democrats and Obama supporters exposing democrat election fraud, which a special mention of the Panthers.

They are attacking Voter ID laws, because they need the voters (ignoring the borders for the same reason), and they are dividing the electorate along the lines of race, gender, religion and wealth. And I’m sorry to say that at this stage, it seems to be working.
These divisive tactics are in all the areas which ordinary people have a high emotional response, but in reality they don’t matter much compared to the most important task of fixing the economy.
And that is why he is doing it. He cannot argue on his record or his vastly unpopular healthcare, so division and his cronies’ slimy skulduggery is all that he has left.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 10:46pmDivineProvidence1776=== WELL SAID. As a straight Christian, I have gay friends and see no reason why GOD would turn his back on a good person be them straight/bi/gay. We all sin. Which sin is greater?? Gay is not one of the 10 commandments. Matthew 7:1 Do not Judge lest you be Judged. If more Christian followed the GOLDEN RULE and acted like Christians, and didn’t adhere to a sentence, thinking it overrides the “message”, than gays would be more likely to vote Conservative. As it is, most are turned off by the ULTRA CHRISTIANS that can’t see the forest through the trees. If you ask me, it’s not very Christian like to diss gays. Unless they are Liberal.
