Hillary Clinton Told YearlyKos Convention She Helped Start Media Matters

Hillary Clinton Told YearlyKos Convention She Helped Start Media Matters

As NewsBusters reported Sunday, the leftwing organization responsible for the recent smear campaigns against Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, Media Matters, has direct ties to the Clintons.

To be sure, folks on the left, and in the media that support them, will either deny this connection, or ignore it.

In the end, that's going to be hard to do, for on August 4, while speaking at the YearlyKos convention in Chicago, the junior senator from New York proudly stated, "institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress."

Our friend Mike Church has been kind enough to provide the following audio of this segment of her speech that day (partial transcript to follow). Those interested can also view the video available here (relevant section at 2:20):

We are certainly better prepared and more focused on, you know, taking our arguments, and making them effective, and disseminating them widely, and really putting together a network, uh, in the blogosphere, in a lot of the new progressive infrastructure, institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress.

Sounds like the junior senator confirmed my contention from Sunday: "Hillary and her backers have created an advocacy network whose expressed goal is to take down all of her critics in the media.

She continued:

You know, we're beginning to match what I had said for years was the advantage of the other side. Uh, you know, when I made that comment about the vast right-wing conspiracy, I wasn't kidding. Uh, what I never could have predicted is that it was not a conspiracy, it was just wide open and out there for everybody to see.

Well, Senator, it now appears that the advocacy network you "helped to start and support" is wide open and out there for everybody to see.

Talk about your inconvenient truths!

I hope Freepers will email both Hillary and Media Matters that their smears against Rush and Bill are unacceptable from pols who cannot be attacked themselves by private citizens if they testify before them in Congress! These groups and pols are anti-American as well as anti-military and they should not get away with it.

Rush played a tape of the Hildabeast saying she helped start Media Matters today. That was an eye opener. Got her red handed. She won’t be able to slip out of this one when it all blows up in her face.

A couple of "You Knows" and a couple of "Uh's" in a fifty word space. That's what you want running the country, a wretched and socialist peasant that can't utter anything off the script. She has to lose in 2008, because I don't believe this country can withstand 8 more years of hell from the Clintons and their machinations. Wait'll she taxes your Emails everybody,wait'll the Fairness Doctrine is forced back into play in America. Bill Clinton as The First Man? Are you kidding me? Do you want to see Hellary's "I'm Better Than You" Face and hear that rotten and condescending tone of voice on your TV screen EVERYDAY? What have you done today to dissuade a Liberal from voting for her, Hmmm? You better get on it.

Kos Pronounced K os = Chaos not Koss

cha·os

–noun

1. a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order.

2. any confused, disorderly mass: a chaos of meaningless phrases.

3. the infinity of space or formless matter supposed to have preceded the existence of the ordered universe.

4. (initial capital letter) the personification of this in any of several ancient Greek myths.

5. Obsolete. a chasm or abyss.

The spelling of the name and its use is even confusing to those who don't pay attention to details !
