Kerry donors include ‘Benedict Arnolds’

Subtitled 'Candidate rips tax-haven firms, but takes execs' cash', comes this WaPo report:

Sen. John F. Kerry... frequently calls companies and chief executives "Benedict Arnolds" if they move jobs and operations overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes.

But Kerry has accepted money and fundraising assistance from top executives at companies that fit the candidate's description of a notorious traitor of the American Revolution.

Executives and employees at such companies have contributed more than $140,000 to Kerry's presidential campaign, a review of his donor records show. Additionally, two of Kerry's biggest fundraisers, who together have raised more than $400,000 for the candidate, are top executives at investment firms that helped set up companies in the world's best-known offshore tax havens, federal records show. Kerry has raised nearly $30 million overall for his White House run...

In other news, Sen. Kerry has received a faint-praise endorsement from the paper of record.
