Redemption Indeed! Scaife funding group that hurts aid to Third world
Last night on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, when Hillary was asked about her recent friendship with paranoid conspiracy theorist Richard Mellon Scaife, the man who funded various dirty tricks operations against her in the 90's. Hillary laughed it off and said that she believed in "redemption." Here's some ironic chuckle-fodder: yesterday I learned about Scaife's funding of a neo-conservative think tank The Institute on Religion and Democracy whose sole purpose is to disrupt political activities by mainline churches. The Institute is currently involved in a costly frivolous lawsuit against the United Methodist Church (Hillary is a Methodist) which is hurting the church's efforts to feed the poor in the third world. I have more here--it also has video links to the Olbermann interview in case you missed it.
