Wow!

On to the next bogeyman for the right wing.

I'm sure they'll come up with something equally creative and time-wasting.

Hmmm.... what to attack next....

I'm thinking that if it was a Republican that requested an investigation, and a Republican controlled office carried it out and found a Republican activists group guilt free.... people would be saying somethign different.

I think Lovecraft had an interesting view on Republicans:

As for the Republicans — how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'…) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.

Dayyum, that's really spot-on... thanks for sharing it!

Right, fucking Republicans.. how dare they Free the Slaves, fight for Women's Sufferage, fight to give Blacks the right to Vote and desegragation.

Do you really believe they have actually audited 5 years of spending on an orginization that large? In just a few months?
