Some folks have been trying to make political hay with the easy availability of union financial information. As noted in
an earlier post
, however, The Wall Street Journal’s methodology in “discovering” the levels of labor union spending was fatally
flawed
and painted a false (and politically advantageous) picture.
And now Steven Law, the president of American Crossroads, a Republican super PAC, is using
ridiculous fictions to try to defend
the activities of the Karl Rove-backed group, claiming that the hundreds of millions of dollars that American Crossroads will spend on the election will somehow be dwarfed by what unions will spend.
