Friends of Coal, Friends of Mongiardo

By noreply@blogger.com (Media Czech)

I just got word of a fancy concert being put on by Dan Mongiardo's favorite band, Sean Hannity, Ted Nugent and Hank "Embarrassment to His Family's Name" Williams Jr. in West Virginia on Labor Day.

Check out the sponsor page. It's basically a run down of Dan Mongiardo's FEC donor list... about every mountaintop removal pertpetrator on earth.

Oh, but here's the real kicker:

The Rally is going to be held on a previous surface mine, just south of Logan, West Virginia.You see!!! Lt. Dan was right! Mountaintop removal really IS a positive, because it creates flat land that you can hold right-wing rallies on!

If you stop by the concert, look for Lt. Dan. He'll be riding around on an ATV collecting donations for his campaign.

Groups with ties to Gore target coal industry with nationwide buy

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

An issue previously at the center of some political differences within the Bluegrass state is again making national waves, as a group backed by former Vice President Al Gore is behind a new nationwide television ad claiming "clean coal" technology "does not exist." A spokesperson for the Alliance for Climate Protection - one of several environmental groups comprising the "Reality Coalition" of organizations sponsoring the ad - said the message would not economically hinder coal-producing Kentucky areas.

MINNEAPOLIS – The Republican Party of Kentucky’s Tuesday morning delegation breakfast featured appearances and brief remarks from two representatives of the coal industry, a major economic player in Kentucky and a source of controversy for many who say the industry damages the environment.

Representatives from Arch Coal and Alliance Coal were among those who spoke, greeted delegates, and handed out information to attendees on Tuesday.
