Have you eaten at White Castle recently? Or caught a movie at Regal Cinemas?<\/p>\n

If so, you may be unwittingly helping finance right-wing attack ads.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because many of the country\u2019s most common brands are run by rich conservatives who are using their personal wealth to bankroll outside spending groups that are running attack ads smearing progressives. From Marriott Hotels to Brawny paper towels, and from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Coachella music festival, corporate executives at these organizations have given millions of dollars to groups like Mitt Romney\u2019s Super PAC Restore Our Future.<\/p>\n

Some corporations, like Waffle House, give direct donations to conservative attack ad groups like Karl Rove\u2019s American Crossroads\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
