Richard Mellon Scaife need to Shove it
(From 1981, read what he said to a female reporter.)

Richard Scaife rarely speaks to the press- After several unsuccessful efforts to obtain an interview, this reporter decided to make one last attempt in Boston, where Scaife was scheduled to attend the annual meeting of the First Boston Corporation.

Scaife, a company director, did not show up while the meeting was in progress. Reached eventually by telephone as he dined with the other directors at the exclusive Union Club, he hung up the moment he heard the caller's name. A few minutes later he appeared at the top of the Club steps. At the bottom of the stairs, the following exchange occurred:

"Mr. Scaife, could you explain why you give so much money to the New Right?"

"You f*cking Communist c*nt, get out of here."

Nice language there, Mr. Arkansas Project...
