VERDICT ON KIRBY WILBUR'S AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY: NOT GUILTY

It only took 4 months, but eventually one member of the press actually looked at the facts.

Verdict: not guilty.

Don't hold your breath waiting for other press outlets to follow suit.

1. So, in Tim Eyman's world, a partisan writing propaganda, where they admit to several violations of campaign laws is a verdict to not guilty.

Again, remember: Tim Eyman Lies. Proven almost every time he speaks.

2. The Washington State Wire is hardly a partisan writing propaganda piece. And I like how you don't dispute the facts. If you read the story JDB, you will see that Americans for Prosperity did in fact file with the PDC a fact that many Democrats have blatantly lied about. Maybe you should check your facts before slandering people.

6. So... any word on their Herrera ad, where they used several endorsers of Herrera (Now, at least one of whom is her district director) in an "independnet expenditure" commercial?

That's an FEC complaint, as I understand it.

7. " The Washington State Wire is hardly a partisan writing propaganda piece."

You're kidding, right? Every article they've done has been an attack on the left, and this puff-piece on behalf of Kirby Wilbur is no exception. These are clearly independent expenditures in fact and in spirit; hiding behind some nonsense education exception is ridiculous.

10. Is the PDC a partisan office? Because they have the report that was filed. Democrats lie - it is their nature. How do you know a Democrat is lying? Their lips are moving.

Face it MOXIE MEDIA, the crooked DEMOCRAT group broke the law. Given the fact that the LARGEST PDC FINE IN HISTORY is against the Democrats, the Moxie Media crime is really not unexpected.

Cheating - it is what Democrats do!

13. Capt. O....How do you feel about Seattle Times endorsements?

14. Bob -- is that true? Are you sure? What name of the political committee are you looking at?

I think they would have to file for 12/10/2010 for post-election through 11/30/2010 in any event. They might not have to file for 01/10/2011 if they didn't raise or spend much in December 2010.

15. Only on Nov. 10 - after the general election and after complaints had been filed - did Wilbur hand-deliver his group's first and only report to the (Public Disclosure Commission).

Wilbur said he had consulted with an attorney in D.C. and that he believed he had followed state law. But after I read him the law, he acknowledged that even if AFPWA qualifies as a grass-roots lobbying group rather than a political committee, he likely had not complied.

"We were not aware that until we started our voter education campaign that we had to file anything," he said Friday.

"If I screwed up, I screwed up," he said. "It wasn't deliberate. I'm willing to do what we need to do to rectify that."

Further proof that this post is just another lie that Tim Eyeman has passed on:
