The return of the vast rightwing conspiracy
AJC ^ | 8/19/09 | Cynthia Tucker

Posted on 08/19/2009 9:19:09 AM PDT by pissant

Remember the vast rightwing conspiracy? It’s ba-a-a-ck, turning its considerable resources to ruining health care reform and wrecking legislation aimed at curbing climate change.

Despite the insistence of Republican leaders that the tea-party crowd and the town-hall protestors are merely concerned individuals who have spontaneously made the decision to shout and yell threats at public meetings, the protests are, in fact, prodded by networks of conservative activists. Richard Mellon Scaife, a Pittsburg billionaire who is the financial lifeblood of ultra-conservative activism, is a contributor, according to The Washington Post.

That’s not to deny the individual anger or anxiety on display on cable TV. Hardcore conservatives are quite unhappy, some over proposals for health care reform, many others over a wider range of policies and positions they associate with the Obama administration. If conservative voters weren’t already upset by cultural and political changes, they wouldn’t turn out, no matter how much they were urged on by networks of activists.

Yeah, I recall the VRWC that forced slick willy to rape Juanita, pull his peepee out for Paul, grope Kathleen, carry on with Gennifer, use Monica for a humididor; and forced bill and hill to game Whitewater, murder Vince, fire the Travel Office, and comb through 900+ FBI files.

Yeah, that VRWC.

Don't try to make friends with me, Cynthia.

This is laughable! Where is my check? LOL!

Next week Glenn Beck will continue to expose the true VAST LEFT WING CONPSIRACY to the American people, so it sounds like the left is going to throw out this obfuscation ahead of time.

Time to pull out the old, "Charter member, Vast Right-wing Conspiracy" bumper sticker.

Glad I held on to some as liberals never die, they merely repackage themselves and come back in the future.

Now she knows about all of us! This jig is up! RUN TO THE HILLS!

Richard Mellon Scaife's money is pocket change compared to George Soros. Yeah, he owns the only paper in the Pittsburgh region which is actually growing circulation, but it is hardly a mouthpiece of conservatism. Among other things, it has endorsed John Murtha, opposed the Iraq War and supported decriminalization of drugs, so it is really more libertarian than conservative. Like Fox News, it at least makes an honest attempt to give balanced coverage-- its local writers tending to balance the wire copy which comes from Reuters and AP.

Scaife's Tribune Review is hardly poaching subscribers from the establishment Pittsburgh Post-Gazette because it is undercutting it on price. The Post-Gazette is losing subscibers for the same reason that liberal mouthpieces are losing subscribers in other markets: (1)they do a poor job of providing balance in their editorial content and (2)they do a poor job of covering local issues. Add to that mix is the fact that the Post-Gazette is unionized and the Tribune-Review is not.

I don’t even have a cool SEIU style shirt to wear!

Amazing.......if conservatives could engineer a movement that would completely affect politics and government at this magnitude, don't they think we would have done it to keep a lib out of the WH?

Hey Washington.....focus, ok?.....people are REALLY PISSED, and they're trying to get you to understand that. How many knocks on your collective liberal skulls do you need before you'll admit out loud that the majority of this nation just doesn't want what your selling?

Some of the conservatives arrayed against Obama represent corporate interests. Armey’s FreedomWorks, for example, is funded by companies such as Philip Morris, which has fought government regulations on smoking for years now.

Cynthia, you rocket scientist, who funds ACORN?

Hint: more corporations than advertise in your newspaper.

Sorry to disappoint, but Dickie Scaife sold out to Soros, Heinz, and the other elites long ago. He even sucked up and kissed the butt of Bill Clinton. Even his once conservative newspaper looks like all the rest with some conservative op-ed thrown in on Sunday. We have no $ on our side, just a lot of formerly middle class individuals struggling to stop the elites from turning us all into serfs.

You know those graphs we had on the connections that soros has to vertually all the liberal foundations. Can we create one like that for Mellon Scaife? It would be good to have a comparison for exposing the lie.

Scaife, while generous to certain causes, simply doesn’t have money to burn. Remember, he actually earned his billions by creating and selling a product which people actually wanted to buy rather than by gaming the system and bankrupting third world currencies the way Soros did.

Dang! I hope it was Paula, not Paul, that he had his peepee almost in.

You must be thinking of Obama. Or at least channelling him.

Gosh Bill, tell me it just ain’t so!

BTW - did you see Hillary’s contract for Whitewater’s old folks buyers???

Miss a payment, give the whole property and all improvements back to Hill!

What a mensch! I mean, what a human being. But I am not too sure about the human part.

In that fashion she got back about half of all lots sold -— and sold them again!

After all, the free $100,000 she got from her front-runnin’ stock cheating friends was nothin’ compared to what she feels she is entitled to ...

***This clause in a contract is illegal in most states -— but not Arkansas!

Yeah! Cheat a few more old folks Hill! Yeah! no one will ever notice!

Most hated lady in America now most popular and most powerful? Lucky us!

Oh, and did you see where Bill laughed to his Troopers when he said “Ol’ Hill has eaten more .................... “

Censored after this.

BTW what ever happened to the TrooperGate book???

Wonder why it was never published.

Not.

Okay, is that why they have paid BILLIONS after all the lawsuits, Cynthia?!

How much more regulated could one product be? And I'm not a smoker, but come on! Cynthia, I think people will decide for themselves if they want to SMOKE, you idiot! Screw nanny government~!

I guess those tobacco companies didn't buy the 'right' lobbyist! It's not like George Bush had lobbyist in his office like Obama! Some of his advisors are still associated with those lobbyist too! Axelrod anyone!
