Kerry, Torricelli
and a Mysterious Frontgroup
Who Mugged Howard Dean in
Iowa?
By CHARLES LEWIS
As Mark Twain once put it, "A truth is not
hard to kill and a lie told well is immortal."
In the 21st century in the United States
of America, it is still astonishingly easy to assassinate a political
opponent's character, with little or no accountability or basis
in fact. It is hardly new to politics anywhere that money and
the messages it buys often create devastating perceptions. But
such smear tactics are more serious and offensive when they benefit
major "mainstream" candidates seeking the Presidency,
are utilized anonymously by mysterious, outside organizations
and they occur in the wake of recent, historic, campaign finance
reform and new political disclosure requirements. Today, Americans
for Jobs released new disclosure forms to the IRS with an additional
$337,000 bringing the 527's total receipts to $1 million.
On November 7, 2003, a strange new group
no one had ever heard of called "Americans for Jobs &
Healthcare" was quietly formed and soon thereafter began
running a million dollar operation including political ads against
then-frontrunner Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean.
The commercials ripped Dean over his positions or past record
on gun rights, trade and Medicare growth. But the most inflammatory
ad used the visual image of Osama bin Laden as a way to raise
questions about Dean's foreign policy credibility. While the
spots ran, Americans for Jobs-through its then- spokesman, Robert
Gibbs, a former Kerry campaign employee-refused to disclose its
donors.
The Dean campaign cried foul, but no
one, including the news media, could figure out exactly who was
behind "Americans for Jobs." The disturbing mystery
was partly solved by Jim VandeHei of the Washington Post on February
11, after reviewing public Internal Revenue Service records filed
under Section 527 of federal tax law. Unfortunately for voters
and the general public, that legal disclosure information was
filed January 30, 2004, nine days after the Iowa caucuses in
which Massachusetts Senator John Kerry upset former Vermont  governor Howard Dean. Those contribution
records were updated again with another $337,000 in donations
on March 4, 2004, for a total of exactly $1 million that the
group raised.
The most stunning single fact to emerge-which
should have been covered more heavily nationwide and was first
broken by the Web site PoliticsNJ.com-was that disgraced former
Senator Robert Torricelli, severely admonished for his unsavory
campaign finance practices and forced to leave the Senate, had
quietly donated $50,000 from his old Senate campaign account
to Americans for Jobs. Torricelli reportedly also is a fundraiser
for Senator Kerry's presidential campaign.
Why is one of the sleaziest former public
officials helping Senator Kerry collect campaign cash? And now
that Torricelli and other Kerry campaign donors have been "outed"
for supporting the controversial group, why hasn't Kerry been
directly asked about the entire controversy? Indeed, why hasn't
the avowed campaign finance reformer publicly criticized either
the caper or Torricelli? Kerry and his campaign staff declined
to answer these and other related, on-the-record questions from
the Center for Public Integrity. A Kerry spokesman, Chad Clanton,
was quoted in the Washington Post as saying that "I am told
no one knew anything about it."
Americans for Jobs was a street rumble
after dark, in which donors or fundraisers for the major Democratic
presidential candidates then overshadowed by Dean-Kerry, Rep.
Richard Gephardt, and retired General Wesley Clark- all piled
on. Labor unions that had publicly endorsed Gephardt accounted
for a fifth of the money-the International Longshoremen's Association
($50,000), the Laborers' International Union of North America
($50,000), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers ($100,000), the International Association of Ironworkers
($25,000) and the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers ($5,000).
A former Dean donor, former Slim-Fast Foods businessman S. Daniel
Abraham, gave $200,000. Past Kerry donor Bernard Schwartz, chairman
of Loral Space and Communications-the tenth leading donor to
the Democratic Party, giving $5.3 million over the years-chipped
in $15,000. A top money chaser for Wesley Clark, Alan Patricof,
also donated to this shadowy group.
Indeed, a Center for Public Integrity
study of the 28 contributors to Americans for Jobs found that
they have given more than $8.7 million to the Democratic Party
in recent years and another $550,000 to the committees of those
running for president.
Among the greatest beneficiaries of these
donations was Gephardt, who received more than $417,000. In fact,
at least 23 of the 28 people contributing to Americans for Jobs
had donated to Gephardt in the past. Some of the donors are also
aligned with Kerry and gave almost $60,000 to his campaigns over
the years.
Four of these 28 individual contributors
had also given $7,200 to Dean between March and July of 2003.
One of the donors told the Center that he had no idea the money
would be used on attack ads. Rick Sloan, the communications director
for International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers,
told the LA Times: "I tell you, these ads are despicable.
If I have my way, we'll ask for a refund." But following
his remarks published on December 17, 2003, his labor union is
reported to have made another donation to Americans for Jobs
for $50,000 on January 9, 2004.
Who exactly forms a stealth, hit-and-run
operation in presidential politics today, up and down in six
weeks, doing $1 million worth of damage in advertising and other
spending before the new federal, 30-day broadcast limit on political
issue ads by outside groups kicked in December 21?
Americans for Jobs' address was 2000
M Street, N.W., Suite 800, in Washington, D.C., the same location
for DWJ Consulting, its "custodian of records" one
David W. Jones, apparently the group's executive director and
a political adviser for years to Gephardt. Jones told the Washington
Post, "Our goal was to point out where Howard Dean stood
on the issues and point out that he had no foreign policy experience.
Clearly those goals were accomplished." He denied that there
was any coordination with the various presidential candidates.
(See official statement from Jones.)
The registered e-mail address of Americans
for Jobs belonged to Mark W. Ward, a client specialist in the
Washington, D.C., office of the billion dollar law firm of Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, one of the largest law firms
in the world, which also has a large lobbying network representing
companies like Verizon, Entergy-Koch LP, and Pharmaceutical Research
& Manufacturers of America. Ward wrote the IRS a letter on
Skadden Arps letterhead on Jan. 30, 2004 accompanying Americans
for Jobs' first and so far only financial filing.
"Mark does our FEC filings and IRS
filings," said Melissa Miles, an attorney with Skadden,
Arps. The firm is listed as the recipient of $36,000 in itemized
expenditures from Americans for Jobs. Skadden Arps is also the
fifth most generous career patron to Senator Kerry, its employees
directly donating $125,550 to his campaigns, its clients lavishing
many times more than that over the years. In fact, the law firm
and its employees are the largest donors to Kerry for the current
election cycle. But Miles said Kerry "had nothing to do
with [the 527] to our knowledge."
Hit-and-run political organizations are
the bane of any open democracy. Who can forget the infamous Willie
Horton commercial in the 1988 presidential campaign or the dozen
groups all coincidentally friendly to George W. Bush that suddenly
materialized in the 2000 GOP primary in South Carolina, spending
millions of dollars and spreading the worst kind of vituperative
bile to defame Senator John McCain and his wife? Who can forget
the below-board tactics used to bring down incumbent Democratic
Georgia Senator Max Cleland two years later, in which his opponent
paid for TV commercials questioning the patriotism of Vietnam
War hero Cleland. In an interview for The Buying of the President
2004 (HarperCollins), McCain told me that the same people who
quietly assisted Bush in South Carolina in his 2000 primary showdown
there also were involved in Georgia. The slander was "run
by the same people, [former Christian Coalition executive director
and Bush "Pioneer"] Ralph Reed . . . The same outfit,
the same organizations, and I will never, ever get over them
running a picture of Max Cleland, Saddam Hussein, and Osama bin
Laden, [this about] a man who left three limbs on the battlefield
in Vietnam. That's just something I will never get over."
Many 527s are run out of obscure offices like this one, which
Americans for Jobs lists as its primary address. After confirming
that Corporate Visions runs no other companies out of that address,
one of the owners said: "I sublease space to Americans for
Jobs and Healthcare."
All of this underscores the profoundly
disturbing state of our politics today. Storefront political
hit squads can be created overnight, as easily as Internet investment
scams, with candidates and the public victimized with nowhere
to turn. Increasingly, political operatives are forming 527 committees
to quickly, effectively and virtually anonymously influence electoral
outcomes. In fact, since 2000 there have been 42 groups who have
filed only one disclosure report with the IRS. Collectively,
these organizations still raised $32 million in contributions,
an average of about $781,000 each, according to data compiled
by the Center for Public Integrity.
The strutting and braggadocio of ostensibly
independent organizations with impeccably and indubitably dependent
pedigrees give the impression of a wild, wild west town with
no sheriff and no jail. For example, according to National Journal,
we have the Republican 501(c)(4) organization, Progress for America,
which expects to raise $40 million to $60 million for television
ads, direct mail and other "outreach" and "issue
truth squads" on behalf of President Bush during 2004. Unlike
527s, this group is not required by law to publicly disclose
its donors. The counsel for the group is Ben Ginsberg, also the
chief outside counsel to the Bush campaign. Ken Mehlman, manager
of the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, and Ed Gillespie, chairman of
the Republican National Committee, were among 150 party poobahs
at a Willard Hotel bash for the organization last October.
The Democrats, meanwhile, have been aggressively
raising money for several 527 surrogate party organizations,
including the Media Fund, begun by Harold Ickes, the former Clinton
White House deputy chief of staff who also serves on the executive
committee of the Democratic National Committee. Former President
Clinton wholeheartedly supports and will help this effort designed
to raise $95 million for issue ads against Bush this year. Billionaire
financier and philanthropist George Soros has announced that
he will contribute $10 million to another 527 group, America
Coming Together, a huge voter mobilization effort.*
Despite the valiant, well-intentioned
efforts of the campaign finance reformers there is an unavoidable
sense of lawlessness and anarchy. The Federal Election Commission,
which unabashedly attempted to diminish the McCain-Feingold law
with a 300-page "devil-in-the- details" rulemaking
document, has an abysmal record of regulation and enforcement.
In the nearly three decade history of the FEC, there has been
only one successful case brought against a campaign for coordinating
"independent" expenditures." With few if any records
available on a timely basis, journalists find themselves in the
dark, desperately seeking the dirty tricksters of 21st century
America.
In the recent Iowa caucuses, we saw our
first political mugging of the 2004 presidential campaign, Democrats
sneakily slurring Democrats. It absolutely will not be the last,
considering the remarkable cash advantage and sordid reputation
of White House political director Karl Rove, who years ago taught
negative campaigning techniques at the University of Texas. The
bubble and unexpected implosion of frontrunner Dean's $47 million
candidacy will be studied for years to come, and no one can or
should plausibly suggest that his political demise was substantially
attributable to the attacks from Americans for Jobs or any other
para-mudslinging subterfuge efforts we don't know about.
But shouldn't the American people, including
the national news media, insist on knowing who is mucking around
their democracy in the midst of a presidential election?
