Arianna Huffington's ideological transformation
The Washinton Post ^ | February 9, 2011 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 02/09/2011 9:42:50 AM PST by Oratam

Did Arianna Huffington just sell out her fellow progressives?

"Believe it or not, she used to profess to be a conservative"

Yes, she did feign being conservative at one time. She use to write conservative columns and was once a freeper.

That is what happened to Ed Schultz as well.
During his time in Fargo, ND he was the toast of the town at least in Republican circles. There was serious thought of him running as a conservative for state-wide office.

A divorce and a new marriage to a leftist changed that.

If Free Republic is worth half of the 315,000,000 of the Huffington Post, then Free Republic is worth 157,500,000.

Why do you say that the Huffington Post is worth twice the worth of Free Republic?

I think when he lost his election bid, she lost interest.

Ed Rollins ran Michael Harrington’s 1994 Senate campaign. In his autobiography he calls her the worst human being he ever met in his life.

Personally I don’t hold it against anyone to make a profit so good for her.

I rightly or wrongly always thought she was a gold digger type but aside from that I give her props for selling.

Who really knows the full story maybe there’s medical issues none of us are aware of...so what.

I’m glad those lefties have a site of their own ...makes it easier for me to find out what going on in the enemy camp...big deal, many of them probably think the same about FR.

For a guy that use to spend his spare time in library’s back in the day I just love the www and all that it offers us. Today is a great time to be alive.

God bless America and death to all her enemies.

Wow! From a professional campaign manager that’s quite a statement.

I guess my problem with her making such an enormous sum of money is she made it by creating a forum for those who seek to destroy the system which made it possible. She’s a digital Armand Hammer.
