Teresa just gave Democrats a talking point:

[July]

The Arkansas Project.

A subject that has received little attention in the press for some years now. It's an opportunity.

1. She mentioned The Arkansas Project?

:wow: Go Teresa!

[July]

3. No, but the guy hassling her works for Scaife.

My view is that Scaife and his project, which many people know nothing about, add up to mud that will stick (since the truth about them is ugly).

The right wing jihad against Clinton was not popular. Ken Starr was UNpopular. The press has now admitted their bias against Gore. I'm figuring that if Democrats talk about why the reporter was after Teresa and who's behind him, the wingers won't have as much a chance to Gore her and John Kerry, and people will learn more about the nuts who care about power more than anything.

Also, it could draw some attention to the fact that Republicans in Congress, working with Scaife, Olson, etc., were so busy sniffing Clinton's crotch that they weren't paying attention to Osama/terrorism, etc. -- a timely topic in light of the 9/11 Commission report.

What's the Arkansas Project?

7. Read the Book

Blinded by the Right, by David Brock. It will give you the low down on the Arkansas Project and how dirty it was. The whole bunch should be shot for treason.

5. Start here:

The "Arkansas Project" that did so much to increase the visibility of Richard Mellon Scaife caused great turmoil at the American Spectator magazine. It skirted close to the tax laws, and failed to learn damaging information about Bill and Hillary Clinton.

According to R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., founder and editor of the American Spectator, the idea for investigating the Clintons was born on a fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay that he took in the fall of 1993.

Those on board the chartered boat, Tyrrell remembered, included Richard M. Larry, Scaife's senior aide for many years, David Henderson, a conservative activist and public relations adviser close to Larry, and Steven Boynton, a Washington attorney and outdoorsman.

Henderson and Boynton both had contacts in Arkansas they thought could help them get to the bottom of the Clinton scandals. Through the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Henderson had met David Hale, a Little Rock lawyer and political figure who became prominent in the Whitewater affair after accusing then-Gov. Clinton of pressuring him to make an improper $300,000, federally backed loan that went bad. Among the people Boynton knew in the state was the owner of a bait shop in Hot Springs, Parker Dozhier, a rabid Clinton hater.

Basically it was the conspiracy to get Bill Clinton.
