A LETTER TO MSNBC

I’m sorry to see that MSNBC would an alleged felon such as Ralph Reed onto any one of your shows and treat him as if he were nothing more than a political operative of one of the campaigns!

Reed is connected to lawyers Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon who are under investigation by Senate Committee on Indian Affairs for bilking Indian casinos out of millions of dollars. His connection? He is said to have received laundered money from Abramoff & Scanlon for using “grassroots movements” to close down the casinos, so that
Abramoff & Scanlon could “come to the rescue” and get paid millions by the casinos.

There is of course the allegation that Reed the hypocrite launched an anti-gambling crusade against the Jena Band of Choctaws but was paid by Abramoff & Scanlon on behalf of the Louisiana Coushatta Tribe. He utilized churches for his efforts! Churches! And on Scarborough Country” he has the temerity to accuse John Kerry of using “religion as a weapon and as a means of dividing”. This is George W. Bush’s southeast chairman for Bush / Cheney 2004!

Why guest host Laura Ingraham did not grill him on these allegations is beyond me! How MSNBC could allow someone of questionable character like Reed act like some talking head betrays at best a laxness of standards, and at least a level of moral turpitude.
