And The Dixie Chicks Thought They Had It Bad
For all the whining the Dixie Chicks, Whoopi Goldberg, Linda Ronstadt and other Bush Bashers did about being censored, all the while receiving tons of free publicity and having their comments reported on front pages worldwide, they haven’t a clue what censorship is. CrushKerry is reporting that either the Heinz Kerry Foundation or the Heinz Corporation may be threatening legal action against anti-Kerry bloggers and websites. More info here. CrushKerry is on top of this and is posting updates at their website. This is their latest:
UPDATE: Stifling Dissent. Here’s what we’ve been told by the (former) propreitor of the anti-Kerry site www.heinzkerry.org (a/k/a “The Waffle House"). He registered the domain name “heinzkerry.org. The Heinz Center (a non-profit charitable organization we believe is headed by Teresa) used “heinzkerry.org” as their email addresses. Some internal emails of the Heinz Center wer apparently redirected to the heinzkerry.org website by the site host, which came as a surprise to the website owner. The emails the website owner got showed possible cooridination between the Heinz Center and Heinz Foundation (charitable organizations which are not allowed to be political) and the highest levels of the Kerry campaign staff. These contacts raised questions about whether or not there were violations of CFR and tax laws.-- Lorie Byrd
When he published these emails on his site the website owner claims to have received death threats via email and a virus from the Heinz Center. His website host shut down his site, saying he violated the terms of service, and that there was impending legal action. The owner did not mention to us if he knew who was behind the impending legal action that the host referenced. We’ll continue to keep you updated.
