Blackwater RNC Fundraiser: RNC Will Hold Fundraising Meeting At Contractor's Compound

There are some things that just do not need much of an explanation, and this is one of them. Lest some take me wrong, I am not opposed to Republicans, or conservatives, or liberals, but the current Republican party has taken such a hard right over the last 30 years into the land of Tea that in its current form it is of little use despite the power over public opinion it sways through control of so much of the media and judiciary. Then comes an article like this and it is like the kid pointing out that the emperor has no clothes.

The Republican National Committee plans to hold an April fundraiser at a Moyock, N.C. compound owned by the military contracting firm formerly known as Blackwater, Politico reports.

According to an RNC fundraising document uncovered on Wednesday, RNC "Young Eagles" -- party major donors under 40 -- will meet at the facility in the spring.

Also on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) has written a letter to the Justice Department asking for an investigation of Raytheon's alleged use of the Blackwater subsidiary, Paravant, for a contract in Afghanistan.
