From Gateway Pundit:
It must be a new month.Hillary Clinton’s Media Matters may be breaking the law. The liberal watchdog group Media Matters was already accused of being Hillary’s pitbull. Now, it looks like there is much more in Hillary’s Media Matters.Media Matters claims it is not, as the National Review noted, “an avowedly political institution,” but a nonpartisan, progressive nonprofit that is unaffiliated with any political party or candidate. Hah!But, after doing a bit of research, Let Freedom Ring reported that Media Matters is the Clinton War Room on steroids! LFR reported this after looking at the long list of Clinton lackeys that make up the staff. Let Freedom Ring also wonders if Media Matters is violating its 501c3 status.Sweetness and Light reported more on this illicit Clintonian outfit. MM is getting a huge amount of financial support from Democracy Alliance, a self-described “liberal organization” whose long-term objective is to raise $200 million to develop a funding clearinghouse for progressive groups. Political operative Rob Stein, who served as chief of staff to Commerce Secretary Ron Brown during the Clinton administration, conceived of the project and is directing it.Discover the Networks reported this on Soros-backed Democracy Alliance
emocracy Alliance was forged from the remnants of the Phoenix Group, an assembly of financiers who backed pro-Democratic 527 organizations such as MoveOn.org during the 2004 election cycle…According to author Joseph Klein, Democracy Alliance has also “received significant support from some of Hillary Clinton’s most important backers including Susie Tompkins Buell and her husband, Mark Buell, and financier Alan Patricof.” Moreover, Democracy Alliance reports that one of its officials, Jonathan Adler, served as Regional Campaign Coordinator for Senator Clinton’s successful 2006 Senate re-election campaign. The current Managing Director of Democracy Alliance, Kelly Craighead, is, according to Newsday’s Glenn Thrush, “one of the Clintons’ closest friends.” In the 1990s Craighead worked as an assistant to President Clinton and as director of the advance team for Hillary, who was then the First Lady. The depth of the friendship between Craighead and Mrs. Clinton is evidenced by the fact that Hillary, acting as a justice of the peace, performed Craighead’s 2001 marriage ceremony to political consultant Erick Mullen, a former aide to Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York and a former informal advisor to Mrs. Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign.Recipients of Democracy Alliance grants are sworn to secrecy about the funds they receive from this organization, thus only a small percentage of its grantees are known to the public. Among them are Media Matters, EMILY’s List, ACORN, and the Center for American Progress. According to Glenn Thrush of Newsday, Democracy Alliance members report that their organization “advises Democratic donors on where to spend their political contributions” and, in so doing, “steered more than $6 million to [David] Brock’s group” — Media Matters — between 2004 and 2006. Sweetness and Light also is wondering if Hillary’s Media Matters is violating its 501c3 status and links to an important article from Front Page on the developing scandal.

Yup, the most open and ethical Congress in history is at it again.

The MSM will never pick up and Klinton scandal. Most of the sheeple will never even hear about it. Blissfully ignorant idiots will continue to support her.

ANOTHER group with Hillary Clinton connections violating its 501(c)(3) tax exempt status? I’m the person who destroyed her Million Mom March in 2000 by exposing its alleged misuse of tax exempt money to help orchestrate a political campaign. I had some luck, in the form of a column by a pro-2nd Amendment columnist, that crumpled up the Million Mom March in May 2000, just as it was planning its Mother’s Day campaign rally for Al Gore.

… and Swift Boat veterans for “truth” wasn’t actually a front setup by a Texas homebuilder who just loved the Bushes… oh please what hypocrisy.
Media Matters is a group of people who got together to accurately print what the talking heads say in the media.
The transcripts they publish are completely valid… unlike the altered ones you’ll find from Rush Limbaugh.

“Media Matters is a group of people who got together to accurately print what the talking heads say in the media.”
The phrases “accurately” and “Media Matters” do not belong in the same sentence together. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
More over- “Media Matters” is another Soros foundation whose purpose is to manipulate media in order to put his sheeple followers into a frenzy of anti-America ranting. His purpose is to destroy the republic so that he may impose his beliefs upon us.
And I’ll repeat it again- he is the single most eminent threat to America.

Don’t look now, but another “scandal” isn’t going to stick to or even wound the Clinton Machine!

HA! Ted, we say the SAME THING about that Fox News guy, Murdoch.
It’s funny that despite how different the Left and Right are, there are SO MANY similarites on how we all think!

Patrick, be careful, if you drink too much Kool Aid at a time it can be hazardous!

Unfortunatey for America that is probably very true. The Leftists in the MSM will do their best making sure Klinton skandal stories never intrude into the consciousness of the sheeple.
Among her supporters and followers, who are so deranged that her hyperbolic hypocrisy is not even above the normal Klinton degeneracy noise level, another skandal isn’t even noticed.
