Nunn was involved with George HW Bush’s charity Points of Light:
In 2003, MissionFish, an arm of Points of Light, signed an agreement with Ebay that would allow users to donate to charities through MissionFish on a tax-exempt basis. One of the thousands of charities verified by MissionFish is Islamic Relief USA, a group that is not listed on any terrorist watch lists and “remains an eBay Giving Works-approved charity.” Earlier this year, Israel accused a separate organization, Islamic Relief Worldwide, of funding Hamas, though Islamic Relief USA was in no way implicated in the order. Islamic Relief USA says it’s an independent organization that “delivers aid both through its own independent grants and partnerships and through the funding of programs run by Islamic Relief Worldwide field offices in developing countries.”
Neil Bush, son of President George H.W. Bush and chairman of Points of Light, has called on Perdue to renounce the spot. “To attack an organization founded by my father, whose integrity is unimpeachable, to smear our organization for political gain, is in my opinion shameful,” Bush said.
Nope. perdue says that because some purloined Nunn campaign memos mentioned talking points to allay these charges should they come up, it’s fair game and it doesn’t matter if it’s true.
“At this point,” said Roberts, “it doesn’t much matter whether she said it or not because it’s become part of the culture. I was at the beauty parlor yesterday and this was all anyone was talking about.”
