Actually, Steve, I believe Hillary when she said she helped Media Matters....She just never would think that anyone would check on all these splinter groups to see how they all tie in... MSM is already in the Dems pockets....why would any of them do anything constructive like finding out who these people are and how much money they are spending to rid the US of anything that opposes them. When Harry Reid went to the floor of the US SENATE and spewed the foul things he said about a private citizen and his right to have free speech, was the second that I fully believe the US has to be VERY careful.... I mean....observe just what Reid and Harkin have done. That is something Hitler or Stalin and actually did..... It truly sickens me.
