A "what the heck?" moment.

Sandy Crux of "Crux of the Matter" blog came across a facebook page, under causes, which has Amnesty International running an "Anti-Harper" campaign (with a donate button and everything!)

What on earth would prompt this? Why would an organization, worthy of respect for assisting with human rights for those that have them oppressed, suddenly "sell" themselves to partisan politics?

One reason could be they need to maintain their base, which is hyper-Liberal College students, by pandering to their ideologies. Although as Sandy points out there may be other nefarious and selfish reasons than just ideology for it. Either way I think they have lost a certain credibility by "choosing sides".
