CLINTON FOUNDATION - LIES BEGIN

As I recently pointed out, Carl Rove developed a political strategy of attacking a candidate at their strength.*  In doing this, they destroyed the value of military decorations.  Now Republicans are out to destroy the value of the Clinton Foundation.  Christopher Ruddy, a conservative, has tried to stem this attack, but it continues.**  Recently Carly Fiorina's PAC has spread the lie that only 6% of the Clinton donations go to charity.*** Of course they really know better, but anything goes in politics, right?

FactCheck.org says "Fiorina is simply wrong."  "Watchdog CharityWatch, a project of the American Institute of Philanthropy, gave the Clinton Foundation an "A" rating."**  Undeterred, Fox news spread the same lie.**

So let the lies begin even though it will harm charitable work.

ATTACK YOUR OPPONENT'S STRENGTH

Carl Rove in 2004 developed what seemed to be a strange and self defeating strategy in the 2004 reelection bid of President George W. Bush against Democratic hopeful John Kerry.  that is, attack your opponent at his strength.  In Kerry's case it was to demean the value of military medals in what became known as Swift Boating.  The approach seemed to be effective though it annihilated military honors as being worthless.

So with Hillary Clinton we see the attack on the Clinton Foundation, an organization developed to try to do good.  To what extent this procedure will have on the value of non-profit organizations remains to be seen, but I hope it does not annihilate non-profits as being self service organizations.
This attack seemed to be too much for even some conservatives who came to the defense of the Clinton Foundation.*

By Christopher Ruddy,* founder of the conservative Newsmax: I was drawn to him largely for the very same reason he and his wife are being criticized today: the Clinton Foundation. Over time, I was impressed enough with its work that I even became a donor.

After watching the Fox program, it became clear to me the only thing "tangled" and "blurred" are the numerous unsubstantiated, unconnected, and baseless allegations being made about them.
...........................................................
But let’s get back to the matter of the Clintons and their foundation. I have been involved with the foundation for over seven years now.  During that time, I have always found it nonpartisan. I have never felt the whiff of politics from either its staff or any of its activities.
