You do know that Hillary Clinton has been trying to buy the support of bloggers, don’t you? CNS News: [1]
Call it “Bloggergate” … the subversion of the blogospand here by Democrat money.
To be more precise, Bloggergate is the subsidizing of left-wing bloggers with illegal Democrat campaign contributions, laundered through ostensibly ‘non-partisan’ non-profit groups.
[2]At a convention of left-wing bloggers last summer, Hillary Clinton announced, ‘We are . . . putting together a network in the blogosphere.’
Her remarks became public only three weeks ago, on Oct. 2, when an anonymous person posted a shaky, hand-held videotape of her speech on YouTube. In it, Hillary bragged that she had helped create ‘institutions’ which had produced a left-wing ‘network in the blogosphere’ capable of ‘matching’ the alleged ‘advantage of the other side.’
Hillary’s claim raises troubling questions. On a practical level, just how exactly does a U.S. senator go about exerting her power to stack the blogosphere in her favor?
One obvious method is to buy favorable coverage. Hillary’s boast carries a strong implication that she has subsidized bloggers.
The article goes into extreme detail on these points. I strongly advise you to go and RTWT.
On the other hand, buying bloggers, is nothing new; Who’s paying for the Democratic Underground? Who’s paying for Media Matters? Greenwald? A host of others? If you think you know the answer to these questions, you might want to ask Norman Hsu about how Hilly has developed this knack of money hiding and laundering, in support of her campaigns.
