Related: About this forumRoger Ailes Has Reportedly ‘Personally Taken Charge Of Some Of Fox’s Recent Attacks’ On Hillary Clin
Another story we know Ailes is eager to tell for 2016 is Hillary Clinton as Über-villain. In the 1990s, Ailes was a member of the vast right-wing conspiracy, gleefully sloshing around in the conservative fever swamps. In one 1994 radio interview, he claimed that Whitewater involved land fraud, illegal contributions, abuse of power
suicide cover-up possible murder. When one associate recently asked Ailes how he compared Hillary with Obama, he replied, Well, shes better than this guy, but if she makes it to the White House, its still going to be Freddy Krueger time. Ailes has personally taken charge of some of Foxs recent attacks. According to one source, he helped edit Foxs prime-time special to promote Peter Schweizers Clinton Cash.

(54,387 posts)And even then, he was no longer politically active. At 75, 9 years younger than Colson, Ailes is still an aging dynamo of evil.

BTW,huge increase in Ads for making money from home,or as we call it,troll the net for profit. The Koch Bros. ad dollars must be in dire if Roger is stepping in this early.

(10,857 posts)Too bad for Fox and Roger that the billions invested in smearing Hillary in the 1990s means nothing now, because by denying affordable health care to aging white, stupid people, they've killed off so many more conservative voters than they can possibly replace that the effort is effectively meaningless.
For example, a white conservative living in Mississippi who was 56 in 1996 now has a better than 50% chance of dying before he can vote against Hillary. 'Cause freedom, woo!
