Ruh Roh: Daily Kos Declared Bernie Madoff Progressives No1 Enemy
Krazy Koz Kidz upset.
Granted a lot of "honest" people were affected by the Ponzi scheme but it does my heart good to see other "less than honest" people affected by this.
Via US News
Daily Kos today declared Bernie Madoff public enemy No. 1 for progressives not only because of his alleged Ponzi Scheme swindling, but also because he will instantly result in a loss of funding for hundreds of progressive organizations - some of which were doing environmental work.Madoff controlled the funds of the JEHT Foundation, a major source of grants for organizations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the ACLU. According to a statement from President and CEO Robert Crane, the foundation will close its doors next month. Virtually all of its grants will be cancelled.
