Richard Mellon Scaife: As Bad as the Kansas-Nebraska Act? Or the Fugitive Slave Act?


Scaife is a hatemonger, and the circles in which he travels are, by some measures at least, the latter-day equivalent of the Slave Power, a cancer poisoning the body politic. And while people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are also hatemongers, they’re performers, blow-dried blowhards, hired guns paid for doing wet work. Scaife, by contrast, is one of the people bankrolling the hits. I think this makes him far more culpable in the violence.

The Clinton campaign has chosen, in recent weeks, to lie down with this beast. Senator Clinton’s comments about Barack Obama’s unfitness to serve as Commander in Chief were right out of the GOP playbook. Bill Clinton’s decision to go on Rush Limbaugh’s show was telling and tragic in something like equal measure. And Senator Clinton’s recent willingness to work with Scaife, the author of the conspiracy she once reviled, in order to breathe new life into the Wright controversy, smacks of desperation and hypocrisy. In each of these cases, the Clintons have legitimated a bankrupt movement. Their actions suggest that the most extreme elements of the fringe right are mainstream. We will all suffer for their hubris.
