Ari Fleischer's "Freedom Watch" has put Democrats on notice: "We're not going to be Johnny One Note

<snip>
"We're a permanent political operation here in town. We're not going to be Johnny One Note," said Joe Eule, executive director of the expanding group, a nonprofit organization that many are describing as the MoveOn.org of the right.

The current Freedom's Watch staff of about 20 will be more than doubled in the coming months. In December, the group lured Ed Patru, the message chief for House Republicans, away from Capitol Hill to run its aggressive communications arm.

The group's offices, above the posh Caucus Room restaurant downtown, are being outfitted with a modern studio so the staff can send ads to TV and radio stations across the country on a moment's notice.

And Freedom's Watch will have money -- a lot of money. While initial reports suggested a budget of $200 million, people who have talked to the group in recent weeks say the figure is closer to $250 million, more than double the amount spent by the largest independent liberal groups in the 2004 election cycle.

"I'm happy to have any help I can get on the battlefield," said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, which has badly trailed its counterpart, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, in fundraising. <snip>

:hi:

:hi:

and his phony repuke propaganda front should have lots of credibility. Another swiftboat type outfit created to smear democrats.

:shrug:

"In other words, we're going to be our true skanky amoral selves, and we are going to employ corporate-funded occult tactics against the interests of the American people. As usual. Smirk." - Ari

to ignore that this is a group comprised primarily of wealthy Jewish Republicans whose first allegiace is to Israel. Yeah, the Protocols of the ELders of Zion was purely anti-Semitic, but I hope people will have the courage to withstand spurious accusations of anti-Semitism and fight back against these propagandists...

oh yeah--can't--it's one of those "shadowy groups" that are so tolerated under fascist regimes like ours.

Nice Freedom name, Ari. Ironic.

His life isn't working out for him or they gave him the piles o'cash. Probably both.
