GriftPAC 2010

I read that PACs are popping up all over the country and if my wingnut email is any sign, they certainly are. Lots and lots of solicitations for money.
Here’s an example:
HOW DOES AMERICA KEEP ACORN, THE BLACK PANTHERS. MUSLIM OIL MONEY AND THE LATINOS FROM STEALING THIS ELECTION?
NOTHING BUT LYING, AGITATING RACISTS!
NAACP going down: Black Conservatives Deserve Better

American Patriot,
As you may know, I am a pastor of a church and a black man. I have spoken at numerous Tea Party national and local events. I’ve been loved and well-received. So you can see that my affiliation with the Tea Party has absolutely nothing to do with color or race. It has to do with God and country, ideals, and ways to change the United states to a great country that it once was. My affiliation with the Tea Party is a stern rebuke to the socialist objectives of the Barak Obama administration—and the defeat of their minions on November 2nd!
My friend, that’s why I am turning to you for your last-minute support to assist several Black conservative campaigns that STAND AMERICA-PAC endorses.
But we only have days, even hours—to help make a difference in our country. It is quite simple. The choice on November 2 is easy—liberal or conservative.
In what could be yet another attempt to play the race card against the Tea Party movement, the NAACP teamed up with little-known Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights on a soon-to-be-released study that alleges Tea Party ties to hate groups. It may be long on claims, but very short on real facts. I have not experienced any racism in Tea Party conventions. I assume there might be; as there is in any party or group. But it is not something that the NAACP needs to be afraid of.
“The NAACP’s feigned concern about hate groups infiltrating the Tea Party movement is a plain, simple and pathetic attempt at gotcha politics,” said Project 21 Chairman Mychal Massie, who has spoken at Tea Party events in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan. “This study serves only one purpose: to discredit and demonize their opposition and preserve their tenuous grip on power.” Project 21 is a voice of black conservatives since 1992, and is sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research.

It goes on and on with the usual claptrap, but this is my favorite part:
The conservative candidates that we support are truly fiscal conservatives. Unless Congress takes action before December 31st, taxes will skyrocket for Americans in every income bracket, INCLUDING the lowest wage-earners. The marriage penalty and the death tax will be back, the child tax credit will be cut in half and capital gains will increase. The Associated Press reports that a typical family of four with a household income of $50,000 will have to pay $2,900 more in taxes in 2011 unless Congress takes action.
I know it’s excessively condescending for me to point out when these people are allowing themselves to be conned by grifters, but it is more than sad if they think the candidates this fellow is asking them to vote for will be in office on December 31st of this year. They are all challengers..
