Dems, Jesse Jackson Get $200G Fine

The Democratic Party, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and two groups associated with the civil rights activist have agreed to pay a total of $200,000 in civil fines for campaign finance violations in the 2000 elections.

Say it ain’t so!!! Violations by democrats? You’ve got to be kidding!?

At issue in the Federal Election Commission case was about $450,000 in election spending by Jackson, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and the Citizenship Education Fund using funds from the groups. The two non-profit groups were incorporated, making their money corporate and subject to restrictions under federal campaign finance laws.

Ah, darn — the dimwits broke the law and got caught … isn’t that special?

Federal campaign finance law bans the use of corporate money for partisan, candidate-specific federal election activities.

You’d've thought that since the dimwits claim to be so much smarter than us red-staters, they would have known this. GASP!! Is someone saying that dimwits “aren’t” smarter then us dumb red-necks that voted for Bush?

Say it ain’t so.
