Back in July, I posted an entry here referring to Bob Casey (now the Senator-elect from Pennsylvania) as being anything but a true pro-life advocate. Indeed, Casey boldy explained in the interview I cited his flexibility on court appointments, his rape and incest exceptions, and his full support for embryonic stem cell experimentation.Well, today in an entry over on PowerBlog entitled, "Bob Casey Already Exposes His Anti-Free Speech Intentions," there's this report:
The Senator-elect of Pennsylvania has expressed his desire to get federal law passed that would infringe upon the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans. The dust from the mid-term elections had not yet settled on Wednesday when Bob Casey, Jr. announced that he would be pushing for a federal hate crimes law that included 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity.' This announcement came as payback for the support the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) gave Casey's campaign.
In a news release issued by the HRC on November 8th Bob Casey said, "HRC got behind my campaign early and has been a tremendous help. The energy and commitment they put behind our campaign was extraordinary. I look forward to working with HRC's incredible staff and membership, especially to advance hate crimes legislation in the Senate."
Casey ran on a pro-family, pro-life platform . . . it didn't take him long to reveal his true colors. In addition, the Federal Election Commission reveals that MoveOn.org, the far-left interest group, has "bundled" $168,591 for the Casey campaign. George Soros is one of the main contributors to MoveOn.org -- a political organization once described by The Washington Post as having "a vigorously liberal agenda."
Fidelis, a conservative Catholic organization, reported on February 27th that the Human Rights Campaign collected and donated $100,000 to Casey's campaign. They also report he received contributions from People for the American Way ($10,000), George Soros ($4,200), Hillary Rodham Clinton's PAC ($5,000) and MoveOn.org ($150,000)...
