Dick Morris has a long history of taking part of Newsmax’s financial schemes. Now morris is using Newsmax to forward a fund-raising scheme of his own.
Media Matters reports that on Nov. 2, Newsmax hosted a “critical election teleconference” conducted by Morris, Michael Reagan — which whom Morris runs the anti-Obama Super PAC For America — and Robert Wiedemer, co-author of the book “Aftershock,” which Newsmax built a previous financial scheme around. The teleconference cost $4.95 for the privilege of listening in.
Morris declared that he was “very concerned” about the state of the presidential race because Obama’s response to Hurricane Sandy has helped him in the polls, a conclusion that directly contradicts the fundraising pitch Morris made right before the hurricane struck. According to Media Matters, Morris smoothly segued into soliciting donations to Super PAC for America.
Media Matters concludes: “To sum up Morris’ pitch: the race is close and also not close, and there are danger signs but Romney is also going to win almost every swing state. But to be extra sure, you should give money to Super PAC for America.”
