"AFSCME, AFSCME. You've heard it at the end of that commercial right there. You know what this is?"

CNN 360 yesterday:

(END VIDEO CLIP)

TOM FOREMAN: AFSCME, AFSCME. You've heard it at the end of that commercial right there. You know what this is? A woman's rights organization, maybe? An anticrime group?

Before I tell you we called them and said some Republicans are accusing you of hiding behind this acronym so voters won't know your identity and your agenda. They said -- nonsense. We're very well flown to the people of America. AFSCME, in case they're not well known to you, is a government employees' union that leans heavily Democratic.

Bottom line, plenty of dirty tricks facing any voter who wants either party to show me the money and where it came from -- Anderson.

ANDERSON COOPER: We're certainly taking about huge amounts of money. Tom, thanks.

You're talking about hiding by using your name?!?


Bottom line, plenty of dirty media, fuckheads.

1. Yep. They're tricky, all right. After all, nobody's heard of Google.
www.afscme.org

I wonder what I would come up with if I was to google some of these "paid for by the blah blah blah committee" groups that Citizens United unleashed on us.

2. They've only been around for seventy-five years.

It's not like CNN, a national and international news organization, would know that.
