Guess where most of the "dark" campaign money comes from?
"If you said sneaky right wing nuts, the "1 percent" (i.e. superrich Americans) or corporate powerhouses, you'd be wrong. The biggest hunk of money came from Planned Parenthood Action Fund Inc., yeah them, the abortion industry." Dennis Byrne American Journalist and Chicago Author
Dennis Byrne, Ray Coffey and Herman Kogan were real newsmen. Unlike the pan-networked gas bags who pass for Chicago journalists, these pros are real reporters,
Dennis Byrne still writes for the Chicago Tribune, but like the great John Kass, is back-seated by the editorial board in favor of the dog who caught the car - Eric Zorn.
Today, Dennis Byrne goes after the real political puppet masters who control the DNC and too many Democrat & GOP elected officials, especially the current President of the United States and Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. Abortion is the Steel Industry of post-testosterone American politics. Unlike the Steel Industry, absolutely nothing good comes from the murder of children.
Abortion - the original hate crime.
