    And look who used to drastically fund it. Herb Sandler, who you'll remember was in a bit of controversy himself:

    Predatory Lending
    On 4 October 2008 NBC's Saturday Night Live ran a skit which caricatured the Sandlers as predatory lenders who scammed unsophisticated borrowers into purchasing homes they could not afford. SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels spoke with the Los Angeles Times on October 7 and said he had no idea the Sandlers were real people and that there is "absolutely no evidence" that the Sandlers engaged in any wrongful behavior.

    Organizations funded by the Sandlers:
    American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
    Moveon.org
    ProPublica
    America Votes
    ACORN
    Center for American Progress
    Human Rights Watch
    Oceana
