I guess the unions didn’t pony up enough money to fund the Democrat National Convention, so the party is breaking its pledge and tapping corporations to fund convention-related activities. According to The Wall Street Journal, they set up a special fund to make it look like they aren’t breaking their own rules.
The fund, called New American City Inc., plans to raise more than $10 million to cover convention expenses, including salaries for convention workers, promotional materials and overhead. Costs also include entertainment for delegates and others, such as a welcoming party for the media that will feature celebrity performers and as many as 10,000 guests.
The Democratic National Committee and the convention host committee say no corporate money will be spent on activities related to nominating the president or other events directly connected to the formal nominating process. Costs that corporations can help cover, they say, are for activities outside the convention hall, but related to the convention. In 2008, Democrats made no such distinction. (Read More)
As The Other McCain notes, “money is fungible.” If it doesn’t come out of one pocket, it comes out of another, therefore, these corporations are also helping the Democrats pay for things like training in playing the race card.
Yet what kind of vicious corporate swine would give a single penny to the Democratic Party, which deliberately seeks to warp public-policy debate with divisive racial rhetoric? Do we not see here the fulfillment of Lenin’s boast that capitalists would provide the rope with which communists would hang them? “Useful idiots,” indeed!
