Sabre-rattling Amy Assails ThinkProgress

National Centre for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) president Amy Ridenour is in high dudgeon, accusing ThinkProgressย of libel for posting the Bonner Cohen clip that the deSmogBlog noticed yesterday. Ridenour says it is โ€œfalse and defamatoryโ€ for ThinkProgress to have suggested that the NCPPR or its associates are under the paidย influence of the fossil fuel industry, from which Ridenour reports โ€œtotal donations to us: less than one percent of our revenues, and for most of our history, zeroย percent.โ€

So now we’re clear:ย Ridenour is happy to accept donations arranged byย a corruptย influence peddlarย (Jack Abramoff), and to pass those funds along toย the corrupt politician Tom DeLay โ€œfor educational purposesโ€ –ย but โ€œno one here (at the NCPPR) has ever been instructed to ‘distort the facts’ about any issue, global warming or otherwise, not by management and not byย outsiders.โ€

Of course, the whole point of people like Amy’s old college buddyย Jack is that they are insiders, but we’re sure that doesn’t pertainย here.
