New report claims that conservative paint chip eaters sent $50 million dollars to "scam groups" like SarahPAC.

Conservatives are finally starting to notice that sham activist groups are ripping off Republican donors, after dismissing “liberal” reports about the scams. 

Jonah Goldberg, the syndicate columnist and National Review Online blogger, points to a report on Rightwing News, which commissioned a study of 17 “big name conservative groups.” 

Many of those groups have already been identified as sleazy in numerous reports, but the conservative website admits many of those were likely shrugged off by GOP donors and activists. 

“The problem with the articles that have come out so far is that most of them have come from liberal outlets and have only discussed limited aspects of a few organizations,” wrote John Hawkins, of Rightwing News. “That naturally led people to wonder if they were reading hit pieces.” 

And that last part is true, and we have covered those reports more than once.

However it appears that with this report the conservatives are starting to catch on.

And if you think about it these scam artists have the perfect setup.

The conservative websites, radio talk shows, and cable news outlets tell their audience not to trust the mainstream media, while also promoting right wing politicians and ideas in whose name these  PACs are set up. So when the MSM reports that they are being hoodwinked they simply chalk it up to left wing propaganda or bad reporting and continue sending junior's college fund to places where it can be spent on exorbitant salaries for those running the PAC, or travel expenses, vacations, and cold hard cash for the person whose name appears on the letterhead.

And that is exactly what this investigation reports:

The 170-page report showed the vast majority of money spent last year by prominent conservative political action committees was “siphoned off to vendors, wasted, and just plain old pocketed by people in these PACs.”

Gee I wonder which groups stand out?

(It's at number eleven in case you were having trouble finding it.)

Personally I think that even the slowest of the slow are starting to catch on which helps to explain why SarahPAC has been hemorrhaging money as of late.

But you know if they DO catch on all that means is that it is time for a new scam, like for instance having a book ghostwritten for you that the morons feel obligated to buy, or starting a reality show and then manipulating them into watching, or getting them to pay a subscription fee for content that used to be offered for free.

Gee now why does that last one sound so familiar?

Let's face it these are quite literally the dumbest people on the planet, and probably the only thing that will stop some of them from sending folks like Sarah Palin and Herman Cain their money will be when worried family members have them committed for their own good.
