Another enemy of the Republic; the Chamber of Commerce

I got the following letter Friday about the new national security threat – the Chamber of Commerce which has given money to Republican candidates (oh, they’ve given to Democrat candidates, too, like Joe Manchin). The Organizing For America crowd, which operates under the auspices of the Democrat National Committee, is stirring up those of us who can’t figure out how to turn off the emails;

Of course, the Chamber of Commerce is an association of small businesses – those guys that Obama wanted to help by giving them useless government loans just a month ago – that lobbies for their members. Some of their members are American businesses that operate overseas…so naturally, the Obama Administration is worried about “foreign donations”. Fact Check.org says there is no evidence of foreign donations;

It’s certainly true that millions are being spent without public disclosure, and that much of the money is coming from corporations taking advantage of a Supreme Court ruling easing restrictions on political spending. But using foreign funds to finance political ads is still a legal violation. Accusing anybody of violating the law is a serious matter requiring serious evidence to back it up. So far Democrats have produced none.

Bob Schieffer had this exchange with David Axelrod yesterday;

On “Face the Nation,” CBS’ Bob Schieffer noted that the Times had quoted the chamber’s chief lobbyist as saying that the chamber got less than $100,000 from foreign affiliates, and Schieffer challenged White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod:

CBS’ Schieffer, Oct. 10: But this part about foreign money, that appears to be peanuts, Mister Axelrod, I mean, do you have any evidence that it’s anything other than peanuts?

Axelrod: Well, do you have any evidence that it’s not, Bob?

Remember the 2008 campaign when neither the media nor the Democrats were concerned about the foreign cash flowing into the Obama coffers?

Thanks to 1stCavRVN11B for sending me his email, too.
