Lobbyist Fires Warning Shot Over Donation Disclosure Plan

WASHINGTON — So much for détente.After a brief truce of sorts between the White House and business leaders, the top lobbyist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce took aim at President Obama on Tuesday over an as-yet unannounced plan to force government contractors to disclose their political giving.

The lobbyist, R. Bruce Josten, said in an interview that the powerful business bloc “is not going to tolerate” what it saw as a “backdoor attempt” by the White House to silence private-sector opponents by disclosing their political spending.

“We will fight it through all available means,” Mr. Josten said. In a reference to the White House’s battle to depose Libya’s leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, he said, “To quote what they say every day on Libya, all options are on the table.”

1. So

They are proposing "Libya remedies"? Sound like this guy needs a visit from Agent Mike? :shrug:

[drm604]

2. That does kind of sound like a threat of direct violence, doesn't it?

They've left themselves room for plausible deniability, but the comparison to Libya makes it pretty clear.

[TheBigotBasher]

3. Just imagine if someone from a major

Liberal group said that about Shrub.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. There would probably be a resolution condemning the group immediately

if not calls for a criminal investigation.

6. nah... gitmo'd or poof'd n/t

[OnyxCollie]

11. It would be supported by a majority of Democrats*, too.

*Congressional Democrats, that is

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. Unfortunately, you're probably right

I remember the whole Move On "Betrayus" episode all too well. Think we might ever get a resolution condemning a right-wing organization (rhetorical question BTW)?

[OnyxCollie]

13. There were plenty of "Dems" willing to pass

an unconstitutional bill of attainder against ACORN.

[TheBigotBasher]

14. Sadly that is all too true.

As a result DumbFart or whatever the bigots name is has gone on to sponsor many more crooked videos and he is getting away with it.

4. Anarchists have been

begging for people to take to the streets for decades. They may just get their wish...but not in the form they expected.

7. What does this have to do with the Tea Party? Major league fail. nt

[TheBigotBasher]

8. What does the Tea Party have to do with the Chamber of Commerce?

Really?

[ProudDad]

10. They're both financed by the same fascist assholes? (n/t)

[TheBigotBasher]

15. Exactly right.

[ProudDad]

9. Isn't it past time for Obama to put on his walking shoes

and visit the AFL/CIO instead...?
