DeVos Hitler ad connection!!!

All of Dick DeVos’ Men: Hitler Ad-gateStonewall Ensnares DeVos, Mongo Connections grow between Hitler ad and DeVos campaign: Anuzis admits meeting with Mongo LANSING- Today the Michigan Democratic Party (MDP) presented new evidence of the connection between Hitler ad creator Adolph Mongo and GOP gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos. On Thursday, July 13, Michigan Republican Party Chair Saul Anuzis publicly admitted that he has met with Mongo. This is just the latest connection between DeVos and Mongo in a scandal filled with contradictions and inaccuracies. Mongo recently created and placed an ad comparing Adolf Hitler to several former Democratic Presidents and Governor Granholm. “Why were Saul Anuzis and Adolph Mongo meeting in the first place? Did they make any arrangements, reach agreements or discuss strategy?” asked MDP Recording Secretary Rosa Holliday. “It is time for Anuzis to answer whether or not the Michigan Republican Party or any of its supporters have an agreement with Mongo and if his party has been directed to avoid working with Mongo.” Immediately following the taping of WWJ-TV’s “Michigan Matters” with MDP Chair Mark Mark Brewer on July 13, 2006, Saul Anuzis was asked by Brewer if he had met with Adolph Mongo. He replied, “Yes I have.” “Like President Nixon’s Watergate scandal in ‘All the President's Men’, we now have Dick DeVos’ Hitler Ad-gate scandal in ‘All of DeVos’ Men’,” said Brewer. “Saul Anuzis publicly admitting that he met with Adolf Mongo is just the latest revelation in the connection between DeVos and Mongo. DeVos should stop the cover-up and admit that Mongo is working on his and his party’s behalf. As more contradictions are made and people begin to come forward with new information, I’m certain this is not the last DeVos/Mongo connection we will see in this scandal.” Anuzis’ admission comes after he failed to denounce the Hitler ad. Tim Skubick: Why didn’t you comment at the time, everybody else commented? Anuzis: (long pause) You didn’t call me.

(Gongwer, July 7, 2006) “There was a pancake event Thursday sponsored by Crain's," Truscott said. "It was a public event that you paid to get in to. If he (Mongo) was there, it had nothing to do with us. I wouldn't even know him if I saw him. We had a table of people at the event. I'd say there were about 200 to 250 people there. If he was there, he wasn't part of our table.” (MIRS Capitol Capsule, July 7, 2006) Flop Peter Luke: So you’ve never met him Adolph Mongo: I met him over at pancake and politic [sic] at the DAC one time….I met him and I wanted to meet him...
