Check out this report from ABC documenting why Kentucky nursing home owner Terry Forcht has donated millions to fund Karl Rove's ads against Jack Conway:

Millionaire Targets Kentucky Democrat Who Is Prosecuting Alleged Abuse in His Nursing Home
Terry Forcht Is Banker For American Crossroads, Rove Group Spending Millions To Beat Jack Conway

In the bitter U.S. Senate race in Kentucky, a local millionaire has helped launch a barrage of ads attacking the Democratic candidate – a candidate who, as the state's attorney general, is prosecuting the businessman's nursing home for allegedly covering up sexual abuse, records show.


Before reading this story, if I told you that the reason they were trying to steal this election is that they wanted to cover up the sexual abuse of senior citizens just so they could make an extra buck, you'd have laughed me out of the room. In fact, I'd have laughed me out of the room.

But it's true.

1. This needs to get a lot of media coverage.
Edited on Thu Oct-28-10 12:03 PM by ProSense
Here is and investigative piece by NPR on prison profits.

The GOP have gone from owning the media to using it to further their political agenda. They have almost erased the line between an objective press and the Republican Party.

Every story that pushes their agenda is simply written off as typical and every piece that exposes their attempts to undermine the country is explained away, often in opinion pieces disguised as news and containing more spin than a GOP press release.

The Chamber of Commerce is engaged in a web of deceit funded by secret donor and promoted by a network of propaganda pushers.

2. When I say many of these
rich repungnants are sadists, I mean it. And they always pick on those with the least strength.

6. But Everybody and Their Cocker Spaniel had a Hissy Fit Over "Aqua Budda" Including Some on this Site
I wonder if this will get the same outrageous coverage and if Tweety will have Jack Conway on his show again...

Doubt it.

These people are filth...
