"Who" is behind these vicious right wing attacks - anybody know?

[leftyladyfrommo]

This awful stuff has to be coming from someone with money and political influence.

Anybody know just who is behind these awful attacks on Obama and Hillary. I'm sure we will se something soon about Edwards, too.

1. We did learn something

about Edwards.

Apparently it matters who bought his house.

[DURHAM D]

2. Karl Rove n/t

3. The only thing they have to slime Edwards with is his "trial lawyer"

background ... and they tried that last time. (Oh yeah, and his hair is so good DrugAddledGasBag calls him "The Breck Girl" -- at least he HAS hair, you moran.) When people realize how Edwards worked his way up from nothing to millionaire by representing the little guys versus the big corporations, that'll take the wind out of their sails -- again. He's about as squeaky clean as they come ... which is why I believe he may be the last man standing.

4. I'm not sure

but the ignorant trash bush supporters give them inspiration to spread their poison and hate and lies. It is very sad and pathetic and downright unamerican to be a "conservative" in America today. Their only claim to fame left, they want more of our kids to die in Iraq; their big chests should be swelling with chickenhawk pride.

[Tigress DEM]

6. Actually these days DEMs are the true Conservatives...

We want to conserve the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink.

We recycle to conserve dwindling natural resourses.

We want to conserve energy and consume types of energy that won't change the enviornment for the worse.

We want to conserve the Bill of Rights and the Democracy outlined by the Constitution.

We want to conserve the ability of all Americans to have a shot at the American dream by not pricing it out of range of most.


There is no shame being conservative. Just depends on what you value enough to try and conserve.

[whistle]

5. The short answer is EXTREME RIGHT WINGERS!

.... extreme right-winger means:

- an extreme conservative; an opponent of progress or liberalism
reactionary, ultraconservative

- a reactionary politician in the United States (usually from the South)

- any elderly pompous reactionary ultranationalistic person (after the cartoon character created by Sir David Low)

- a person who has extreme conservative ideas or opinions

Specifically who those people are requires a directory listing like the New York City telephone book of about 10 to 20 volumes

7. I read an article yesterday, I think it was at firedoglake

saying that the Rev Moon is behind the attacks.

[donco6]

8. That seems evident.

The Moonie Times is definitely involved, anyway.

9. Found my own answer - it's Moon

I have trouble believing this guy has gotten this kind of power in this country. I remember him from way back - everybody thought he was just another religious nut. And he was in all kinds of trouble for brainwashing kids and holding them against their will.

Goes to show that anyone can become powerful in this country.

This attack not only hurt Obama - although I think he will come out of it just fine. But it also hurt Hillary Clinton because she was blamed for this unsavory attack.

What a bunch of creeps. Rich, but creepy. Kind of like a lot of people in this current administration.

10. The vast right-wing conspiracy?
