People for the American Way
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Aschlafly (talk | contribs) at 05:03, February 29, 2008. It may differ significantly from current revision.
People for the American Way is a left-wing advocacy group[1][2] created by Norman Lear, the wealthy producer of "All in the Family," which was a liberal satire of a bigoted father named Archie Bunker and his dimwitted wife.
In a familiar liberal style, PAW pretends to represent the "American Way"[3] when in fact it spends its tax-deductible dollars in attempting to smear conservatives.
PAW tried to destroy Robert Bork's reputation in the 1980s and did a similar hatchet job on Charles Pickering in the 2000s, helping derail both jurists' nominations.[4]
Notes
- ↑ Even as PFAW holds fast to its "non-partisan" tag, the Capital Research Center reported that, in 2003 and 2004, 98 percent of the organization's political contributions went to left-liberal Democratic candidates.[1]
