Is Clinton the new right wing?(0)
Clinton’s campaign tactics have such a right wing tone to it, the swift boat flavor, working under the shadow feel. They have embraced the win-at-all-cost theory and gone to such an extreme place where even John McCain has refused to go. Not to mention the vast right wing support for Hillary.
McCain thinks an ad referring to Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy is too extreme and should not be aired. This is in contrast to the position Hillary camp has taken with ads: the notorious 3 a.m. ad, the new ad featuring Bin Laden. Remember the race card they played from the start. Bill Clinton made reference to the fairy tale candidacy and even in the recent days he was accused of playing the same race card. But every time when confronted, Hillary camp denied it. This is classic bait and switch technique we have seen often form right wing. And then there are those other rumors they wanted everyone to know: Obama is a Muslim, he is not a patriot, and he is not a true American. Haven’t we heard this soft of smear campaign before? Now Hillary says she against Bush’s war, but she is ready to obliterate Iran. And then there is her new love to guns and religion. She even accused Democratic grass roots plotting against her. No wonder Hillary is the darling of the right wing including active support from Rush Limbaugh and Richard Mellon Scaife.
It makes you wonder who the new right wing is.
Why is Hillary getting vast right wing support?(4)
We all know politics makes strange bed fellow, but who have thought Hillary would become the favorite of the man who fueled “vast right wing conspiracy” against Clintons. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned by billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, has endorsed Clinton on Sunday.
Yes, this is the same Scaife who spent $2.3 million to expose Bill Clinton’s sex life and financial improprieties including Bill’s request to the state troopers to get women, Paula Jones harassment, and Monica Lewinsky case. He also helped all sorts of conservative groups and publications that were interested in finding dirt on Bill Clinton. At that time, Clinton cried foul saying it was a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” Her words not ours. Now comes 2008 election and suddenly Clinton is friendly with the same right wing. Makes you wonder why? When most of the major papers in PA came in to support Obama, Clinton got nod from Scaife’s paper. And don’t forget Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos in support of Hillary.
