GOP Attack Group Freedom's Watch Falling Apart

Las Vegas Review Journal:

Freedom's Watch, the conservative group backed by Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chairman Sheldon Adelson, is pretty much kaput, sources with knowledge of the organization said.

The group's dozens of staffers have been paid through the end of the year. After that, Freedom's Watch is likely to shut its doors permanently, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

There is a God.

His company may have lost about 95 percent of its stock market value, but Adelson is still the 15th richest person in the U.S.

Yah...just wait until the Saudis and Dubai oil sheiks start suing him for non-completion of those casinos he was building "over there"...

[HesDanTheMan]

Now if only the same thing would happen to Dobson's Focus on the Family and to Joe Dallas' Genesis Recovery for Sexual Addiction trying to change Gays into Straights! It's time they all get brought down!

[BearsLeft]

This is wonderful news! Especially after the glut of toxic TV ads they poured into Colorado supporting Bob Schaefer. Didn't do any good as Schaefer lost by about the margin he was trailing Udall throughout Sept. and Oct.

Awwwww. And, they were so EFFECTIVE during the general....diedemonsdie!!

Along with his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, Sheldon Adelson was presented with the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars of the Smithsonian Institution. The ceremony was held on March 25, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The other award recipient that night was Wayne Newton, who received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service. (Wikipedia)

This guy is bad enough, but Wayne Newton?

Ah, shucks! Buh, Bye! (Where's a waving emoticon when you need one?)

[tigerakabj]

Good riddance. They dug a hole for Barack and they, like the GOP, fell right into it.

At this rate, I hope Limbaugh and Hannity keep talking.

[justoverit333]

Oh, that's a shame. LOL

[justoverit333]

Didn't Nevada turn blue this year?

[Bitsko]

Barack Obama: 531,884 55%
John McCain: 411,988 43%

The conservative house of cards continues to tumble.

[desertdweller]

Freedom's Watch lasted a little more than a year. N.A.M.B.L.A. has been around for decades. Both are twisted, but one endures. Go figure?

[bibimimi]

NAMBLA isn't much more than an answering machine and a bad idea. Freedom's Watch seems to spend crazy money on a LOT of bad ideas.

[GeorgeP922]

WHAT! This is TERRRIBLE NEWS!!!!

We need to encourage these morans to keep wasting their inheritance on these futile right wing "Think Tanks"

Oh, the joy I had as I watched the other group run those Rev Write ads.

They wasted FIVE million dollars on that racist garbage, that as much or more than obama paid for when get his infomerical which was nothing but positive on major networks.

[JHCowboy]

Awesome now it would be awesome if the Family Research Council would follow suit.

[desertdweller]

Somehow, the United Way manages to keep the Family Research Council on life support. That, among several other reasons, is why I make my charitable donations elsewhere.

[MNmommy]

Good riddance.

[BetterDeadthanRedState]

Somehow I just know our freedom is safer without them watching it! Kind of like I'd feel safer if I knew Sarah Palin wasn't watching Russia.

[majorteddy]

Because like James Dobson, they overextended on the campaigning and the mortgage is in hock. Seee ya in bankruptcy court Sheldy baby. You shoulda taken care of business and the former wives, hotshot!

[katlade]

2009 looks likes it might be one of the best years we have had since 2001.

[ErnestineBass]

More like since 1999.

[Myshkin57]

2001?
