Is it a coincidence or a birthday gift? Like Fox News, I am just asking questions... ;)

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/07/richard-mellon-scaife-death-108573.html

Scaife was a longtime supporter of Republicans, backing presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in 1964 and heavily funding the 1968 campaign of Richard Nixon. In 1972, Scaife donated $1 million to Nixon in 334 separate checks to avoid paying gift taxes.
...
but in a sit-down with George magazine editor John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1998, he called President Clinton "an embarrassment."
Yep, Nixon lover thought Clinton was an embarrassment. :D

He went on to spread some of the crazy rightwing conspiracy theories about Clinton:
In the interview, Scaife denied that his money helped support an effort to hurt the president, but he suggested Clinton might be linked to the deaths of dozens of administration officials and associates, including White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster and onetime Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Foster's death was determined to be a suicide; Brown died in a plane crash.
So after having said all this and hounded Clinton for a decade, what does Bill do? Be an example for all those "Christians" who hated on him, and forgive the guy, of course.
Scaife's stance toward the Clintons softened years later. In an interview published in early 2008, he told Vanity Fair magazine he and the former president had a "very pleasant" lunch the previous summer, and "I never met such a charismatic man in my whole life." Clinton gave Scaife an autographed copy of his book, and Scaife said he later sent $100,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative.

"Some who dislike me may rejoice at the news," wrote Scaife, who acknowledged making political and other enemies. "Naturally, I can't share their enthusiasm."

Rejoice no but he was a bastard in his days.

It's a tragic tale. The man was born into a great philanthropic family, and given that potential, what is the legacy he leaves behind? Is it a university like Carnegie Mellon? Nope, he'll always be remembered for his hate of Bill Clinton.
I guess he did fund the Heritage Foundation, so out of respect for the dead, I will give him indirect credit for Obamacare.

Thats rich considering that Kangas died outside his office in a suspicious suicide and his wealth and connections got him off.

You are a sick little fuck.



There is only one person here celebrating the death of people just because they have differing opinions.

I am just asking questions. If you are celebrating, that's on you. Nothing to celebrate, the man's life was a hate filled waste. That's a tragedy.

I does seem as if it is common for leftist to be happy with a conservatives death or sickness, examples such as the op of this thread and the time Gorge Clooney joking about Charleston Heston's sickness. I do not see this happiness with liberal people's death and health malady's nearly as often from people of the right.

Stick around here for awhile, haha. Wasn't spidey banned for saying that conservatives should hunt down liberals and murder them?

Scaife was a shit stain, but I'm sure he had a family that loved him.

The right is perfectly happy blocking Medicare expansion that would help millions of people with their health maladies and avoid thousands of unnecessary deaths.
So step off your high horse, buddy.

Holy diversion batman. Any time any expansion of any entitlement isn't fully endorsed by the right you end up with lefties saying the righties are pushing grandma off a cliff.

Not pushing off the cliff, but letting them die unnecessarily, just the same.

But you can continue trying to wash your hands of it. You didn't know, you were just following your ideology, etc. All good excuses.
People like Dick Scaife are responsible for fostering the political climate in this country where a party feels comfortable blocking a program that would save thousands of lives, just to spite Obama.
America and the American people are better off with fewer people like him. His death doesn't absolve him of his life's work.

To summarize senseamp, unless you support more people on the government dole, you can fuck off and die.
