SilverNRed Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Washington Times The top leadership of Amnesty International USA, which unleashed a blistering attack last week on the Bush administration's handling of war detainees, contributed the maximum $2,000 to Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign. Federal Election Commission records show that William F. Schulz, executive director of Amnesty USA, contributed $2,000 to Mr. Kerry's campaign last year. Mr. Schulz also has contributed $1,000 to the 2006 campaign of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat. Also, Joe W. "Chip" Pitts III, board chairman of Amnesty International USA, gave the maximum $2,000 allowed by federal law to John Kerry for President. Mr. Pitts is a lawyer and entrepreneur who advises the American Civil Liberties Union. I, for one, am SHOCKED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Washington TimesI, for one, am SHOCKED! 349563[/snapback] So because they contributed to the presidential campaign of the person that they felt would do a better job with human rights, that automatically makes them biased? So, since I voted for John Kerry, I'm no longer registered a republican? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Gant Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Biased yes, but transparent. It is clear that they are against the death penalty, torture, detaining prisoners of conscience, etc. Why should America be so thin-skinned when they skewer most nation-states in their international report? Let's stand with China and Burma to root out this bias? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still trying to save his fat ass from the humiliation of having his medical records released...in spite of the fact that he's a big fat idiot. If preserving civil liberties is a bad thing, we're in a little more trouble than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
