McCain Using Progressive Media Buy as Fundraiser

John McCain's free ride from the media is coming to an end. And his illegal campaign spending is garnering notice in the press.

Now McCain is using the plans of a progressive group buying ads displaying McCain's many lies as a fundraiser. From a McCain e-mail:

George Soros the 'liberal megadonor' is at it again. He and his group of billionaire left-wing Democrats have pledged $40 million dollars of soft money to smear John McCain in a national television ad campaign.


In an article published in Politico, it was reported that Paul Begala and David Brock met with a gang of Manhattan liberals at the home of George Soros to outline their plans for a $40 million dollar ad campaign against Senator McCain. Brock is quoted as saying the group could do the work of the press corps that has 'fallen down on the job' when it comes to McCain! ...

Soros and his liberal friends need to know that they cannot buy this election with their billions. With your help we will continue to get out the straight talk on the issues that Americans care about.

McCain complaining about billionaires against his candidacy; that's precious.
