Pretty amazing.
The ALEC spokespersons are really getting into it. Here’s some snips – I suggest you read thewhole article – really, ‘cause the snips below are inadequate and just a tease.
This article today out of Colorado.

My problems with ALEC may sound
innocent enough to you, even pathetic given the power of big corporations, but
to ALEC co-director Jonathan Williams, my views of ALEC and my actions against
ALEC make me a Marxist. On Denver's KLZ radio April 26, he said:
"You know," Williams told KLZ, "at the end of the day
though, companies should realize that capitalists are the folks who buy their
products. The Marxists that are coming after us and coming after them are the
folks who want to see them gone anyways."
Jason Salzman :: On radio, ALEC
co-director accuses ALEC critics of being "Marxists"
Still, I consider myself fringe,
but Williams doesn't see the Marxists behind the anti-ALEC campaign as a
rag-tag group. He didn't mention Obama as being in the Marxist fold, but
Williams sees real, serious power in the hands of American Marxists these days
as they go after ALEC:
"There is a very coordinated intimidation campaign against some of
our corporate sponsors and against many of our legislators across the country
by folks who disagree with free-enterprise policy," ALEC's Williams told
KLZ. "And they try to use extortionist techniques to intimidate the
corporate members from getting involved.
It's been a really sad state of affairs that we've been seeing over the
last few weeks and some of the companies crumbling under these intimidation
tactics."
Extortion? Intimidation?
≥≥≥≥≥≥≤≤≤
Interesting choice of words here – by Jonathan Williams director
of ALEC's Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force and bullshitter extraordinaire when
it comes to training those poor ol’ neglected state legislators on how to
reform the state budgets from ALEC’s toolkit – hah!
Marxists – eh?
Interesting choice of words.
Williams could have just called us communists.
But most folks would have known we were not communists
– whereas most
folks don’t know what a Marxist is
– they just assume
it’s bad – ‘cause Williams used it in a disparaging way on the radio.
Now – if I combine that with the release that ALEC sent
out to their State Chairs a year ago –
That would now make me
A radical Marxist opponent – of ALEC
YIPPEE!
By the time ALEC is destroyed – my title should be pretty
impressive.
Well in the true sense
of art of battle – the gauntlet has been thrown.
William’s thrust: Me - Marxist
My parry: ALEC -
FASCISTS!
God, I love political name-calling! It’s so juvenile and
fun
- when you are an adult
Next they will probably have Rush call us all sluts – ooo
– ooo
