Last night I told you about BMW Direct, the DC political consultancy that appears to split their time between fundraising for actual GOP elected officeholders, who are mainly white, and raising money for what appear to be phantom candidates, who also seem to be disproportionately African-American, that never gets spent on the candidates' races but rather gets plowed back into BMW Direct. Now it turns out that a few months ago, Roll Call (sub. req.) found them operating a similar scheme with some called Freedom's Defense Fund.

Since 2004, BMW has raised $1.1 million for Freedom's Defense Fund. But, perhaps explaining why Freedom is so down on its luck these days, a mere $50,000 was actually given to candidates -- which is after all, the main point of a PAC.
