Sound familiar? Difference is, they got away with it, so Oboz tried it and got caught when he attacked TEA.
This really is quite a bombshell of a story.

WASHINGTON – If you want to learn what Hillary Clinton meant by "the vast right-wing conspiracy," part of the extensive collection of dossiers the Clinton White House kept on its media enemies was released Friday by the Clinton Library.

The most important of the documents, "The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce," originally some 331 pages, was reduced to only 28 pages in the sanitized and heavily redacted version posted by the presidential library.

"The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce refers to the mode of communication employed by the right wing to convey their fringe stories into legitimate subjects of coverage by the mainstream media," explains the report. "This is how the stream works: Well-funded right wing think tanks and individuals underwrite conservative newsletters and newspapers such as the Western Journalism Center, the American Spectator and the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. Next, the stories are reprinted on the Internet where they are bounced into the mainstream media through one of two ways: 1) the story will be picked up by the British tabloids and covered as a major story, from which the American right-of-center mainstream media, (i.e. the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times and New York Post) will then pick the story up; or 2) The story will be bounced directly from the Internet to the right-of-center mainstream American media. After the mainstream right-of-center media covers the story, congressional committees will look into the story. After Congress looks into the story, the story now has the legitimacy to be covered by the remainder of the American mainstream press as a 'real' story."

What makes a book about Bill and Hillary Clinton so explosive that someone would steal it? It's all here in "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" (Hardcover).

The operation launched by the Clinton administration in response to this conspiracy theory was designed to prevent so-called "mainstream media" from picking up such stories. That effort came in several parts:

    The original 331-page report was distributed by the White House and the Democratic National Committee to select reporters in an effort to discredit those behind the critical reports on the Clinton White House – namely billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, journalist Joseph Farah, political activist Floyd Brown and the American Spectator.
    Hillary Clinton's public relations effort to vilify what she called "the vast right-wing conspiracy."
    A pattern of politically motivated audits of individuals and organizations by the Internal Revenue Service.

"It's quite an amazing story," said Farah, founder and editor of WND, whose Western Journalism Center was audited after the White House sent the IRS a letter from a constituent calling for an investigation. "It may all have a familiar ring to the tea-party groups of the 21st century. Clinton got away with it, so it was bound to happen again – and it most assuredly has."

That was a very interesting read. Thank you for posting it.

I understand now something I did not, before. Mind you, I am not
ruling out that the whole labeling thing being done by the left is
pure propaganda, spin, K Street Advertising. That, I think, is the
majority opinion among conservatives. That is to say, a clever political
play by ruthless left wing politicians bent on more power and money.

It never occurred to me that someone as high as Bill Clinton or Hillary
Clinton could actually believe it.  Now, I see that as  distinctly likely.
Truth is, that blows my mind. I spend a lot of time (I am semi retired)
following the conservative movement, contributing and researching.
I think I have a pretty good handle, at least above average, on contemporary
American and European political conservatism.
Now, I am reading the Clinton position, and it suddenly dawns on me that
as far as the Tea Party, grass roots conservatism, everything associated,
such as Tax Watch, NRA, Heritage, all that, Hillary Clinton doesn't have a
freakin clue.
I can't tell you why this never sunk in. It is probably because
we all live in bubbles.  If you were to ask me what was up with left wing
thought, I'd admit, I have no idea. But I am a retired salesman. I honestly
just naturally assumed that someone in the position of Secretary of State,
possible Presidential candidate, would have some kind of grip on the
reality of American politics.
When I here statements linking, say, vets with terrorists, I naturally assumed
it was left wing propaganda. Now, I get it. They really believe it.
I have a new outlook.  We in the conservative camp had better get busy
dumbing down the rhetoric. I now know why our positions are falling on deaf
ears.

It was a bit of an eye opener, wasn't it.
I knew the Dim party was corrupt, but the lows they are willing to sink, makes them literally traitorous enemies of the state, if they pulled the crap they do in the private sector, they'd all be dead or in prison.

The Dim party has no interest in the law, other than at the moment, it gets in the way, but where communism is concerned, they'll do what it takes to achieve their goal.

Marxism versus Capitalism

Often erroneously contrasted as two different choices of an economic system, Marxism is not an economic system. Marxism is a system of social organization. Karl Marx was a sociologist who theorized or imagined a classless society.

The theory of capitalism has  been interpreted as each receiving according to his merit. It is more true to say that under capitalism, each receives according to his capacity to exchange (some might say exchange  value) with the nation. Exchanges are made using the mechanisms established and agreed upon as the economic system.
I put "value" in parenthesis. A pornographer makes money, but does not exchange "value."

Under communism, each receives according to his needs.

Capitalism tends to mediate exchange with free money or with barter. Free money is a term that refers to money whose values floats according to supply and demand. Communism tends to reward with either state script, or state property. Under communism, private ownership is discouraged,  even outlawed.

When we discuss differences between capitalism and communism, as  many encourage, we can wind up comparing apples and oranges.
