Accuracy in Media published a August 1 article by James Simpson lauding the anti-Obama hate-fest hosted by AIM’s Cliff Kincaid. The headline on this is — we are not making this up — “The Most Important Press Conference Ever Held at Any Time in U.S. History.”
Simpson even tries to defend his ludicrous hyperbole:
On Thursday, July 19th, Cliff Kincaid of America’s Survival held a critical National Press Club event: The Vetting: Obama, Radical Islam and the Soros Connection. At this pivotal time, we face a national election that may well determine the fate of our great country. And as America goes, so goes the world.
Thus, it is not an exaggeration to describe this as the most important press conference in U.S. history, because it explicitly details, with new facts and more evidence than ever presented in one place at one time, from extensive, highly credible sources, the dangerously extremist nature of President Obama and the true goals of his virulently anti-American, radical leftist administration.It further reveals how a huge network of U.S.and foreign communist and hard left organizations connected to this President has colluded with radical Islam for decades to oversee the destruction of their mutual enemy: America. Overshadowing all is the malevolent Soros network, and the billions he and others like him are devoting to facilitate this goal.
This information simply must reach the electorate before November.
Media Matters’ Oliver Willis serves up a more realistic view of Kincaid’s hate-fest and the fringe far-right figures involved in peddling their anti-Obama conspiracy theories.
Willis also points out that Kincaid’s conference received “generous financial support from foundations associated with Richard M. Scaife.” That’s right — while Scaife may have kissed and made up with Bill Clinton, he’s still funding right-wing conspiracy theorists as he did in the 1990s.
As it so happens, Scaife has also funded AIM to the tune of millions of dollars over the years.
Simpson isn’t done with his conspiracy-mongering stenography, though: he concludes by writing, “Look for Part II, upcoming in a few days.”
