I was about to say something similar. For example, imagine if someone posted a topic saying (hypothetically) "Obama received more campaign funds from gay/lesbian organizations than McCain" (replace gay/lesbian with pro-choice, gun control, whatever). I doubt it would be interpreted as "He is in their pockets". It feels wrong to cast aspersions on someone's beliefs the moment they receive funding from some organization.
