What Could Clinton Say?
Richard Mellon Scaife, godfather of the 'vast right-wing conspiracy,' spent hundreds of millions of dollars to attack this woman, to produce writings and videos and fund the rise of individually groomed attack pundits whose #1 task was to aim at Hillary Rodham Clinton. Richard Mellon Scaife formed an entire cottage industry around smears, lies and hatred toward this woman. It was sick, it was out of proportion, it was offensive in the extreme.
During this campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton went to Richard Mellon Scaife's little shitburg newspaper board and made friends with him in order to slam a fellow Democrat.
I will not be able to wrap my mind around that, for the rest of my life. It's the most breathtakingly cynical moment in this campaign season.
The answer is still no
When the Tom Edsall non-story about Barack Obama paying off Hillary Clinton's campaign debt came out I sent a note asking them to shoot it down. I had talked some friends into donating and hated the idea that I'd made suckers out of them. Sanity prevailed and the story died down.
Today the Obama campaign wrote back:
Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting us about assisting other Democrats to settle their campaign debts. The competition for the Democratic nomination continues and while there has been a lot of media-driven speculation about the possibility of Senator Obama helping to retire Senator Clinton’s debt, we have not had any discussions with the Clinton campaign about debt retirement.
We value each and every contribution and work hard to spend it wisely on building this movement and getting out our message of hope and change. We thank you for your support and look forward to uniting and growing our Party as we finish the primary season and head toward November.
Thank you again for contacting us.
Sincerely,
Obama for America
So the answer is still no. I'm glad.
