Richard Mellon Scaife - A Progressive Who Loves The LGBT Community
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 06:48 PM by MannyGoldstein
Not.

Regarding the newest friend of The Clintons:

"Scaife also funded the Western Journalism Center, headed by Joseph Farah. Farah has been connected to reconstructionism, a movement to replace judicial law with Christian Old Testament law. The organization is antigay, and would move to punish "practicing homosexuals" by sentencing them to death."

Amazing. Just amazing.

17. You silly heteros.
BWAHAHAHAHA. Ok, that one was good.

All I can say is all that practicing pays off. You heteros may get it "right"... but we practice to PERFECTION.

3. good find!
Hilly and bill's sucking up in the most degrading way to the right wing press is disgusting. Time to say bye bye to both of them. Now watch the hillbots come and defend her sucking up to Scaife.

5. here's another one Scaife likes
Cliff Kincaid, of Accuracy In Media.

Cliff Kincaid is a right-wing writer and activist who has been a longtime critic of the United Nations and other multinational organizations. He is also a writer and editor at Accuracy in Media (AIM), a right-wing media "watchdog" organization. He has received significant support for his work from foundations controlled by right-wing financier Richard Mellon Scaife, who has funded AIM as as well as Kincaid's own organization, America's Survival. America's Survival is dedicated to "educat the American people and to expos the influence of global institutions, including an International Criminal Court, on their lives." The organization appears to be run from Kincaid's personal residence.

http://mediamatters.org/items/200512100001

In a December 13, 2005 column, Kincaid called for a "Quit Gay Sex" campaign to rival "Quit Smoking Campaigns" launched by certain media outlets in the United States. He contended that homosexual sex is widespread and homosexual men "simply cannot stop having homosexual sex" and that it was spreading HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

...75 percent of AIM's funding comes from contributors donating US$100 or less. Only three donors of the remainder are given by name: the Allied Educational Foundation, Shelby Cullom Davis, and billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife. Scaife gave $2 million to Accuracy in Media since 1977 -1997.<15>

7. the right-wing's obsession with gayness is one thing I will never get.
Can anyone explain this obsession? They seem to center their lives around anti-gay attitudes, in a way they don't with any other issue.

10. Really it's about sex, any kind.
They watch other peoples genitals like we watch a favorite TV series. They must control the genitals of anyone who isn't them.
