Or is that a privilege that should be denied to liberals and reserved only for patriots? Freedomworks is some kind of tax-exempt educational infotainment advertorial agitprop foundation bullshit entity. Its not a business, at least, it isn't chartered as one. <blockquote>"Armey was concerned that Kibbe structured the deal to personally profit from the book despite relying on FreedomWorks staff and resources to research, help write and promote it — an arrangement he and others at the group believed could jeopardize its tax-exempt status."</blockquote> Or didn't you bother to even read any further than paragraph four? Since this is not a business, I suppose its funding actually does come from contributors. They are the ones who financed the research on Kibbe's little money-making side venture as well as Armey's handsome bonus for not making too much ruckus and to go away quietly. If I were a conservative donor, I would be pissed. These guys carry corruption in their blood, like syphillis.
