Bill Berkowitz reports, "a number of right wing groups have been contending for the unofficial designation of the conservative version of MoveOn.org [1], the liberal grassroots lobbying organization. These days, Freedom's Watch [2] appears to have a leg up on them all. ... 'Freedom's Watch is raking in huge donations from a few donors, a model that other federally sanctioned campaign groups cannot follow, because donation sizes are limited by law,' John Stauber [3], executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy [4], told IPS. 'And like MoveOn, Freedom's Watch intends to augment that approach with a grass-roots fundraising model that energizes a base of supporters as it brings in money. ... Freedom's Watch is being quite transparent about its motives in running anti-immigrant ads [5]. It's all about hot button issues that will turn out the Republican base and defeat Democrats. ... Ari Fleischer [6] and his cohorts are all about winning, by any means necessary.' "
