Hillary Clinton's Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to Smear Obama

Hillary's campaign gets busted using the same smear merchants that attacked Bill Clinton in the 90s to spread lies about Barack Obama.

Peter Dreier reports in the Huffington Post:
"Sidney Blumenthal [Hillary campaign adviser and former senior adviser to Bill Clinton, the same guy credited with coining the term "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"] Uses Former Right-Wing Foes To Attack Obama"

"These attacks sent out by Blumenthal, long known for his fierce and combative loyalty to the Clintons, draw on a wide variety of sources to spread his Obama-bashing. Some of the pieces are culled from the mainstream media and include some reasoned swipes at Obama's policy and political positions.

But, rather remarkably for such a self-professed liberal operative like Blumenthal, a staggering number of the anti-Obama attacks he circulates derive from highly-ideological and militant right-wing sources such as the misnamed Accuracy in Media (AIM), The Weekly Standard, City Journal, The American Conservative, and The National Review.

To cite just one recent example, Blumenthal circulated an article taken from the fervently hard-right AIM website on February 18 entitled, "Obama's Communist Mentor" by Cliff Kincaid. Kincaid is a right-wing writer and activist, a longtime critic of the United Nations, whose group, America's Survival, has been funded by foundations controlled by conservative financier Richard Mellon Scaife, the same millionaire who helped fund attacks on the Clintons during their White House years. Scaife also funds AIM, the right-wing media "watchdog" group. ..." (read more)

Watch "Clear Media Bias For Barack Obama" on YouTube. Then get back to me. Olbermann is a hypocrite.

If that video doesn't do it for ya, watch a video (there are several) of Olby's infamous special comments about the "Patriot Act". He repeatedly called Bush a "Fascist" for promoting it. What name did he call Obama after he voted for it? He didn't call him any names ... he rationalized it. You can't find any YT vids of Olby excusing Obama, they've all been yanked.

@klrdotorg And half the idiots on Fox News would never attack a Republican no matter what.

The only thing that could make Keith Olbermann attack a democrat - is defending his hero messiah - Obama. What a shock.

There is one candidate that has taken no money from Lobbyists and the only special interest group he'll owe anything to on his first day in office is the American people and there's one candidate that is in the pocket of the corporations and promises more wars. You right there is no difference.

you fell for bush's lie hook, line, and sinker. either you cut off the funds and force the troops home or every time a neo-conservative president wants more money for the illegal occupation you vote to give it to him, and this might according to mcain go on for 100 years. for god sakes there comes a time where a man pulls his balls out of his mommas purse a stands up for what is right. come on grow a spine man
