Poor Scott McClellan. The Republicans have disowned him, and the Democrats will never accept him. Scott will have a long, lonely life. Hope he enjoys his blood money...

Commies are everywhere, but especially in the Media, and don’t leave out Fox News from that statement. Murdoch is in favor of Obama, a crypto-Muslim Commie. If America can survive as a free country after all this, it will be a miracle.

See also an editorial today in the WSJ: General McClellan's War. From the editorial:

We'd merely note that the book's publisher is PublicAffairs, an imprint founded by left-wing editor Peter Osnos and which has published six books by George Soros. PublicAffairs is owned by Perseus Books, which is owned by Perseus LLC, a merchant bank whose board includes Democrats Richard Holbrooke and Jim Johnson, who is now doing Barack Obama's vice presidential vetting. One of Perseus's investment funds, Perseus-Soros Biopharmaceutical, is co-managed with Mr. Soros.

Mr. Osnos, who is "editor-at-large" at PublicAffairs, told liberal blogger Rachel Sklar that he "worked very closely" with Mr. McClellan and his editor, Lisa Kaufman. Readers can guess what advice Mr. Osnos gave them about how to make headlines and sell a book six months before a presidential election in which Iraq will be a major issue.

I can’t stand it whenever I hear people say that “Communism is dead.”

began his career as an assistant to I.F. Stone, the pro-communist "journalist" named as a Soviet agent of influence who was the uncle of Weather Underground communist terrorist Kathy Boudin.

Nothing new here....move on (.org)!

But......but.....Peggy Noonan says she believes Scott McClellan’s factless accusations.

Scotty should have just named his book “Bush’s Fault!!” and been done with it, eh? ;-)

[WillWriteForFood]

Very interesting. But the article leaves out the connection between the Weathermen and the launch of Obama Bin Laden’s political career. Can someone fill in the blanks for us?

Thank you so much for posting this! You are a great FReeper!

Are we being completely assaulted by our enemies? Was 9/11 simply the shot across the bow?

Am I overreacting?

[LiberConservative]

This whole thing stinks of a mind job and "change of heart" for money. Where was Scotty's conscience when he was on TV talking to me? If he had his doubts then either quitting or allowing himself to get fired on-the-spot might have made for a much better (and credible) story.

Once again, the ghostly trails of the victims of so-called “McCarthysim” show that McCarthy WAS an American hero who sacrificed his life and reputation for his country. He was right on.

I.F. Stone, for God’s sake.

I had no idea of these connections, and I will bet money that most Americans do not, either.

How reliable is Cliff Kincaid of Family Security Matters?

I always thought McClellan to be an idiot, but not a very useful one.

[driftless2]

Of course Osnos looked at McClellan as a perfect, resentful stooge. Waved a few bucks in his face, and voila! they had themselves a disgruntled ex-Bush admin with a very large axe to grind.

This is interesting since book payments and advances have become the primary method of payola in Washington.

I understand Hussian’s payola started right out of law school.
