According to today's Hotline, George Allen is scheduled to speak on Thursday night - about the same time that Mark Warner is holding a fundraiser for Jim Webb, come to think about it - to the Council for National Policy. What on earth is the Council for National Policy (CNP)? According to the Center for Media & Democracy's Source Watch, the CNP "is a secretive forum, formed in 1981, for leading US conservative political leaders, financiers and religious right activist leaders." Source Watch further describes the CNP as a "highly secretive... a theocratic organization -- what they want is basically religious rule" and "[t]he "far right's answer to the Council on Foreign Relations."
For more on this bizarre, extremist organization, please see Americans United for Separation of Church and State, AlterNet's scathing expose on the group, and ABC News. And just remember, these are the people who George Allen hangs out with and speaks to in secret. Will we ever know what George Allen says to this group on Thursday night? If not, why not?

This is a dangerous group (Rebecca - 5/10/2006 3:53:10 PM)
I've been watching this group for some time. There is a reason why they meet in secret. I'll let you guess why after reading about it at the links offered.

Unless the Democrats take over this country better damned soon, the American Taliban will control everything through their wholly owned subsidiary, the Republican Party.
Guess Webb won't have any trackers, there, (summercat - 5/11/2006 9:38:06 AM)
if this is a secret meeting? Or is it just the group that is secretive? Can Webb get a plant in there?
