Swift Boating the Birthers

(Examiner) – Orly Taitz, the busy, Russian-born, California real estate agent-attorney-dentist who’s also leading the “Birther” movement in its feverish charge against the illegitimate presidency of America’s first non-American president, migrant Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama, has taken her quest for truth and sanity to the GOP holyland, the Internets!

(SourseWatch) – On November 3, 2006, the Associated Press reported that ASA-MN’s Hatch attack ads were connected to Benjamin Ginsberg, the Washington lawyer “who represented the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in the 2004 presidential campaign.”[32]

Ginsberg, who resigned in 2004 as a lawyer for President George W. Bush’s “campaign after acknowledging he was providing legal advice to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which made unsubstantiated allegations about Democratic candidate John Kerry’s Vietnam War record,” was also confirmed as being the lawyer for ASA-MN.[32]

In a December 19, 2006, follow-up, the Associated Press reported the same wealthy Houston, Texas, businessman, Bob Perry, who had helped finance the Swift Boat ads against Kerry, was the “main funder” behind ASA-MN. A “recent filing with the Internal Revenue Service” showed that Perry had contributed $500,000 to A Stronger America, whose Minnesota chapter had spent about $750,000 in its anti-Hatch campaign.[33]

ASA-MN spokesman Joe Weber said the “infusion of Texas cash” was wired into ASA’s bank account “about three weeks before the Nov. 7 election. That timing allowed the group to avoid reporting the contributions before the election.

“It also allowed the group to mount an extensive television campaign that it otherwise might not have been able to muster.”

I was shocked to see that Minnesota Democrats Exposed had been so careless as to make a blog posting with Michael Brodkorb’s name, e-mail and mobile phone number (see image below and this post in question). I didn’t understand at first; it took me about 15 minutes to figure out what had actually happened. This is a theory, but I think it holds a lot of weight. I want to thank Eva Young and her wonderful blog for making the allegation that Michael Brodkorb is MDE first.
