April 21, 2014
— Ace Via Althouse, the document that probably served as the basis for Hillary Clinton's "vast right-wing conspiracy" remark.
The actual document is here. There's not much to it. It's a fairly crude political blast-fax type thing (from the age of the blast-fax -- the emails of yesteryear).
Interesting, it uses the term "conspiracy theory" to apply not just to what would typically be termed conspiracy theories (the various theories about Vince Foster's death) but also to any derogatory story the Clinton White House wished to delegitimize. Thus, the Paula Jones and Gennifer Flower accusations -- which were not "conspiracy theories" in any sense, but just accusations that Clinton (falsely) denied -- are termed "conspiracy theories" pushed by the "right-wing."
Whitewater also gets namechecked as a "conspiracy theory."
The document is especially paranoid itself* about the powers of this newfangled "Internet" machine:
The right wing has seized upon the internet as a means of communicating its ideas to people.Moreover, evidence exists that Republican staffers surf the internet, interacting with extremists in order to exchange ideas and information.
Egads!
Other interesting points:
The memo is much-concerned on partisans' ability to transmit memes via this "Internet" and then get them into "mainstream" news coverage. Note that the left has spent the last twenty years building up a serious and well-funded infrastructure of professional agitators whose only goal is to just that, but for the left.
Media Matters and all the rest are frequently able to get their stories picked up by the "mainstream" media, and, per Sheryl Attkisson, are also active in coordinating email/phone call/whisper campaigns to "controversialize" news stories they don't like and get them pulled from "mainstream" media broadcasts and articles.
The other interesting thing, of course, is that the names "Richard Mellon Scaife" and "Joseph Farah" litter the document like mentions of the devil in a medieval treatise on the plague.
Twenty years later, and they're still working off the exact same playbook. It's just that the Koch Brothers are the Devils of the Day.
* Note how establishment players are often extremely paranoid about "the fringe" (that is, anyone who's non-establishment).
This 2009 article describes "the paranoia of the center" (or the putative center -- certainly They think they're the center) and how their hateful suspicions about anyone Not Like Them can lead to deligitimization campaigns and suppression of vital debate.
We've heard ample warnings about extremist paranoia in the months since Barack Obama became president, and we're sure to hear many more throughout his term. But we've heard almost nothing about the paranoia of the political center. When mainstream commentators treat a small group of unconnected crimes as a grand, malevolent movement, they unwittingly echo the very conspiracy theories they denounce. Both brands of connect-the-dots fantasy reflect the tellers' anxieties much more than any order actually emerging in the world.When such a story is directed at those who oppose the politicians in power, it has an additional effect. The list of dangerous forces that need to be marginalized inevitably expands to include peaceful, legitimate critics.
The Paranoid Style in Center-Left Politics
This isn't the first time the establishment has been overrun with paranoia about paranoiacs. The classic account of American conspiratology is Richard Hofstadter's "The Paranoid Style in American Politics," a 1964 survey of political fear from the founding generation through the Cold War. A flawed and uneven essay, Hofstadter's article nonetheless includes several perceptive passages. The most astute one might be this:
"It is hard to resist the conclusion that this enemy is on many counts the projection of the self; both the ideal and the unacceptable aspects of the self are attributed to him. The enemy may be the cosmopolitan intellectual, but the paranoid will outdo him in the apparatus of scholarship, even of pedantry. Secret organizations set up to combat secret organizations give the same flattery. The Ku Klux Klan imitated Catholicism to the point of donning priestly vestments, developing an elaborate ritual and an equally elaborate hierarchy. The John Birch Society emulates Communist cells and quasi-secret operation through 'front' groups, and preaches a ruthless prosecution of the ideological war along lines very similar to those it finds in the Communist enemy."Hofstadter didn't acknowledge it, but his argument applied to much of his audience as well. His article begins with a reference to "extreme right-wingers," a lead that reflected the times. In the early 1960s, America was experiencing a wave of alarm about the radical right. This had been building throughout the Kennedy years and then exploded after the president's assassination, which many people either blamed directly on the far right or attributed to an atmosphere of fear and division fed by right-wing rhetoric. By the time Hofstadter's essay appeared, the "projection of the self" he described was in full effect. Just as anti-communists had mimicked the communists, anti-anti-communists were emulating the red hunters.
It's an important piece, worth reading again every year.
So, it appears that the Democrats became paranoid about these "right wing extremists" using the Internet to "spread [their] ideas" to the mainstream media, and then spent the next twenty years diligently creating a virtual media paramilitary militia army to transmit their own memes and enforce their community-based narratives.

If I was a republican, I would recommend to the republicans to start using this word 'extremist' against the dems. It is used over and over by dems and it works, not necessarily on any one issue but as an attachment to the word republican.
But they won't.

Paula Jones - Clinton settled with her and got his law license revoked
Gennifer Flowers - I don't think *anyone* questions this one right?
Whitewater - they didn't get Clinton, but they did get his Lt Governor (who succeeded him as Governor) and all of the principals on the scam except for the Clintons...

This is why they came up with the 'Gore Tax'.
And we're still paying it.
The Clintonistas declared that it was "Unfair!" that rich people had computers and internet service...and poor people didn't.
So they came up with that New Tax that appears on our phone bills, to provide internet service to the poor.
It's not so 'new' now...and a lot of people don't remember life without it.
AlGore was the one who pushed for it the most publically and since he was the "inventor of the internet"...it became known as the Gore Tax.

Sexual harrassment is only harrassment if deemed so by the accuser.
The handsome office stud can flirt and throw out sexual innuendos all day long without fear of more than blushing giggles whereas a not so handsome guy better not even think about lingering near the same persons desks for fear of a harrassement claim.
To the left , Clinton and crew are the handsome stud and Republicans are the not so handsome guy's uglier brother.

If you go to those people and point out that slavery and Jim Crow were policies promoted by the Democrat Party (and fought against by Republicans), they will respond that all those old racist Southern Democrats quit the Democrat Party and became Republicans. So really, it is the Republican Party that is to blame for slavery and Jim Crow.

Well sure, they try to get away with lying about it like that.
But the fact remains...Lincoln was a Republican, and the party of Lincoln was always the one that fought for Civil Rights.
Democrat party was the party of 'Slave Owners Rights' and the KKK.

I read Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson's (USAF Ret.) book "Dereliction of Duty". He was assigned to carry the nuclear football for Clinton for a few years so he had a real insider's view of the Clinton presidency. One story he told was about one flight on AF1 where Clinton kept hitting on a female elisted USAF female that was part of the flight crew that served meals, etc. It got so bad that she went to Lt.Col. Patterson crying and asking him how to make this stop. Patterson had to tell Clinton's personal cabal to tell him to back off.
The guy was/is a real pig.

All we're seeing is blatant cooperation between the media and the WH, or between the WH and those responsible for elections. There is also no conspiracy between the WH and the various alphabet agencies. Nope. None.

Yep. I remind these LIVs that it was an old, white, retired General, President Eisenhower that drafted the most comprehensive Civil Rights Bill but LBJ (A Senator) told DE that Southern Democrats would never vote for it as it gave TOO MANY rights to blacks and the bill needed to be watered down. They don't teach this little nugget of history in most schools.

Meh, I was in a USENET group back then called Alt.Current.Events.Clinton.Whitewater .
Hillary! called everyone members of "The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" or VRWC for short. Much fun was had at her expense.
