So the documentation offering proof of this claim is where?p0ink said:yes, it is a page full of links for companies that support gun control ... no, it is companies that donate money to gun control.
The one thing that nearly all the links on the page have in common are that they're administered through LinkShare. (Amazon, BTW, administers its own affiliate program, but it could just as easily be posted.) And these schmoes at ProgressiveFunds.com are not strongly affiliated in any way with HCI or the THREE other organizations that "benefit" from the links.
To wit: I noticed those bastions of liberalism, Reader's Digest and Omaha Steaks, are on the list. As is WWF Shop (I may be wrong here, but WWF seems to be a fairly conservative lot ... if not, its audience definitely seems to be). Many of the links are to places that burst with the Internet bubble. Chances are also pretty good that the companies linked don't even know that ProgressiveFunds.com exists. This site also has a sister site, called , GroupFunds.com with links to the Christian Coalition and the National Republican Conressional Council.
The likely case here is that ProgressiveFunds.com -- probably comprised of some guy with a brilliant business plan made of affilliate links Swiss cheese -- has donated very meager affilliate commissions (IF it managed to accrue any) to the four organizations listed from its home page. I wouldn't worry about it. But if you can't get your panties unknotted about this, ask George yourself and find out.
Frankly, if I worried about which company donated money to which organization or to whom, I'd personally end up not buying anything.
