Moonbat Political Operative Goes for the Jugular
Posted by Dave Blount at August 8, 2008 10:57 AM
The similarities between moonbats and vampires aren't easy to miss. Here a liberal political operative, boasting of a desperate campaign to intimidate Republican donors, gloats about "going for the jugular":
Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding "warning" letter in the mail next week.
The letter is an opening shot across the bow from an unusual new outside political group on the left that is poised to engage in hardball tactics to prevent similar groups on the right from getting off the ground this fall.
Led by Tom Matzzie, a liberal political operative who has been involved with some prominent left-wing efforts in recent years, the newly formed nonprofit group, Accountable America, is planning to confront donors to conservative groups, hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions.
"We want to stop the Swift Boating before it gets off the ground," said Mr. Matzzie, who described his effort as "going for the jugular."
The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.
"Swift Boating" means alerting the public as to the disgraceful truth about phony Democrat candidates.
Fortunately, moonbat intimidation tactics don't seem to be as effective as those of their Muslim allies:
Chris LaCivita, a Republican strategist who helped organize the Swift Boat effort, said Mr. Matzzie's group was likely to have the opposite effect on potential donors, firing them up instead of discouraging them.
"They're not going to be intimidated by some pipsqueak on the kooky left," Mr. LaCivita said.
That's the spirit.
Pelousy's not the only one to go for the jugular.
