Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue is a wanted man — at least according to the liberal activist group that's put a de facto bounty on his head.
An asinine network of liberal groups known as Velvet Revolution started this bashing ad campaign that offers $200,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the man whose trade organization has become a thorn in the side of the Obama administration and congressional Democrats.
So much for Free Speech. Yet I do not hear an outcry from anyone in the press or groups (like ACLU) denouncing this bashing of any opposition. That;s bully tactics. Is that OK now?
"The media should be following the money trail behind this scurrilous group [Velvet Revolution] instead of giving credence to its outrageous tactics — and we are considering legal options with the ad," Chamber spokesman Eric Wohlschlegel said.
The Chamber has already taken a lot of heat from the White House. Top aides tried to neutralize the group earlier in the year by doing an end-run around the organization and dealing directly with members, as some big companies, like Apple, peeled off from the Chamber due to disagreements over issues like climate change.
[Uh, what climate change? Isn't the weather always changing? Oh, and btw, the Earth has been COOLING for the past 11 years!! Hello??]
Velvet Revolution launched the StoptheChamber campaign in October and started offering a bounty for information on Donohue a month later. A $100,000 reward was increased to $200,000 early this month, thanks to what Zeese called a "handful of larger donors" whom he would not identify.
Let's dig into Kevin Zeese and all of the Velevet Rev members! Get the dirt.
