'Vast right-wing conspiracy' leader's paper backs Clinton

The entire GOP, president bush/rove included, have endorsed hilary for the dem nominee sicne before she even announced she was actually running.

I figure when you spend millions investigating a president, you gather a bit of dirt on his wife as well.

Clinton met with the Tribune-Review's editorial board, including Scaife, last month. Afterward, Scaife wrote an editorial titled "Hillary, Reassessed," declaring how impressed he had been by the former first lady.

He endorsed her as the candidate most tied to the petrochemical and banking interests Scaife represents. He's heir to Gulf Oil and the Mellon banking fortunes. Scaife funds half the right wing think tank outfits that Rockefeller's money doesn't control.

Here's a Richard Scaife profile that links the think tanks but a Wikipedia will tell about the same, without the editorial points on significance of those groups if you'd rather. I wish I could remember where the story of his divorce was, what a fiasco but not relevant except for a general view of an arrogant ass' attitute toward others in its pettiest form. Onward...

The Clintons, like father and son Bush are huge supporters of Monsanto and the "biotech" crops, which are designed to grow with heavy applications of chemicals. Those are in large measure created from refinery waste which helps Richie's oil turn to money for his bank, that grow the fortunes of Scaife and the oily fingered friends.

This was a no brainer she's been the Biotech babe since before she announced. The shortfall is in media thinking a pantsuit would be enough for voters to buy the change theme. An informed electorate was never considered.

Once the corporate media ends the ban on discussing the food supply and start covering Hillary's agribusiness ties the question won't even be posed. Duh, he suppors Hillary with all the ghusto that Halliburton and Blackwater did Bush, like money in the bank.

Andrew: Too narrow of a question, and as usual, the corporate media and its AP writers cannot put simple relationships together, instead turning reality upside down, or as you have done, narrow the focus, which both have the effect of failing to see fundamentl failures. Scaife supports Hillary, in the same way the corporate media, manipulates, filters out all vestiges of democracy, progressive ideas, until the worst of the worst is left standing, both Mr. BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, BOMBA IRAN McCain and imperial cheerleader, Hillary.

The AP writers have this turned on its head because their class ideology, corrupting filter, accepts this process, and the further to the right, and dominating, the better it makes their argument, that Scaife is kind hearted, and not an elitist like Obama....chuckle. Instead, these class thugs, and their class ideology are not kind hearted to Hillary, and it is sort of like Christian Fascists supporting Zionist Thugs, who are anti semitic, but accepted by Israeli thugs to play the useful idiots, as shock troops for corporate fascism, and imperial agendas. Scaife and the AP writers do not realize or are deliberately deceiving, or both, that there is no contradiction embracing an imperial cheerleader like Hillary, if only to eliminate Obama. The fact that this Headline fails to see this, is proof that the AP writers are either complicit in this ideolgogial trickery, deception, or are completely clueless.

You at least came up with a more nuanced position of this false embrace of Hillary, but in either case, it is a win win situation for the class thugs, ideological thugs, who like the corporate media have filtered out all opposition, in order to give no choices, false choices to the public.....who must be reminded that such corrupt two class parties left standing promoting imperial aggression against Iran, by both McCain and Hillary for Amerikan empire, and Israel's Zionist thuggery, are not the only choices left.

If that result is the outcome, there must be a wholesale revolt against these corrupt insiders, class thugs, class elites, ideological liars, manipulators, not only its political class but its corporate media, a propaganda arm of the corporate fascist state, and it is time for an ideological civil war between these corrupting elites, by supporting Nader, the Greens, socialists, against Amerikan empire, and endless imperial wars. Time for some fundamental reconstruction and support a third party, if we are given these false choices, and corrupt stategies, by Billionaire Scaife and its mindless journalists.

They deserve each other... but the American people don't deserve them.

Sounds like operation Chaos at work.

Those who know, know.

Sounds like operation Chaos at work.

With this White House it would be the Maxwell Smart implementation!

Sure, but it's easy to say something and do another.

Again, did he endorse her or just endorse her OVER Obama?

Andrew. This means as much as the New York Times endorsing McCain.

I could care less about the negative ads; to me they make the sponsor look worse than the target. hat bugs me is the MSM dwelling on nonsense and ignoring real issues. If the National focus were beyond petty and pointless the ads would tackle issues too.
