National Republican Trust PAC: Are Hank Sheinkopf and Joe Mercurio working for the same right wing extremists?

More specifically, are Sheinkopf and Mercurio working for Aish Hatorah fronts?

Last week, I asked why the right wing extremists behind the National Republican Trust PAC hired Mercurio instead of one of their own to place more than $5.3 million of sleazy anti-Obama ads on national network television.

The light went on when I learned Hank Sheinkopf had been hired in late September to represent the Clarion Fund in the media. The fund produced the anti-Muslim film, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War on the West".

In mid-September, 28 million copies of Obsession on dvd were distributed with the Sunday paper to readers in swing states. Not only were many people offended by the film's contents, the timing of the film's distribution was seen as a political ploy to garner support for John McCain.

I also found out that the NRT PAC treasurer, Peter M. Leitner, is involved with the distribution of Obsession. He and the founder of the Watch Obsession Citizens Public Education Campaign gave a seminar to 1,000 seniors in Boca this April. For a $100 a pop, Leitner taught the oldsters how to identify a terrorist.

I'm thinking maybe Hank Sheinkopf, an Orthodox Jew, got Mercurio the NRT PAC gig. Or maybe Sheinkopf and Mercurio are partners in Philipse Brook Group, Inc., the company registered to Mercurio's upstate address.

The Philipse Brook Group is actually handling the NRT PAC's media buys, according to FEC records. It was only registered in NY on 8/19/08 which indicates it was set up specifically to handle the NRT PAC business.

Sheinkopf and Mercurio, of course, can work for any radical right wing group they want to. My concern, as I said last week, is that these groups comply with federal election law.

Maybe Joe Mercurio will enlighten us as to where the cash came from for the $5.3 million media buy for sleazy anti-Obama ads. The National Republican Trust PAC failed to report the names of individuals who contributed more than $5 million in the Post-General report it filed yesterday with the FEC. More here.

The owners christian louboutin shoes are careful not to take too much credit.

Leaning over the counter last week, he ordered two christian louboutin — one cherry and one “kool blue” — in an insulated bag. “These won’t last through the night,” he promised.

RIFFLE back through your dress shoes, and you’re bound to recall an old friend who has been there through all the milestones, whose very name is christian louboutin shoes with simpler times. Russell high heels has that kind of dear pal, whom he muscles through Queens traffic to see as often as possible: the Lemon Ice King of Corona. “I’ve been coming here since I’m a baby,” Mr. Irushalmi, 41, said last Sunday evening as the sinking sun cast a warm glow over the Lemon Ice King, a temple to Italian ice christian louboutin outlet that Peter Benfaremo built 67 years ago after returning from World War II and taking over his father’s small ice stand.

Like Mr. Irushalmi, many rings have been there on first dates with their future spouses, charms and celebrated birthdays and everyday August bracelets with nary a spoon or a napkin — just ice in a cup, and a tongue dyed strawberry red or tangerine orange. Indeed, when Vinnie Barbaccia and his business partner, Michael Zampino, bought the store 20 years ago from Mr. Benfaremo, earrings a distant relative of Mr. Barbaccia’s, the Ice King necklaces had something of a Seinfeldian “Soup Nazi” aura: no napkins, no utensils, no blending of flavors. And certainly no free bangles.
