Will Wilkinson explains the cozy relationship between right-wing talk show guys like Limbaugh or Hannity and Conservative "think tanks" like the Heritage Foundation. It's all, of course, about money…telling Americans that everything they treasure will be destroyed or taken away from them unless they donate loads o' cash.
Every week, one of my e-mail addresses (one I use when I have to sign up on a site likely to send me loads of spam) receives a message from a guy that tells of some new heinous crime that Hillary Clinton has committed, how the future of America depends on putting her in prison and how he has the means and evidence to toss her behind bars if only I'll send him money. I've been getting these messages from the guy since she was First Lady and was having hundreds of people murdered — including Vince Foster, who was planning to turn State's Evidence against her.
Since this guy's been sending these out for so long, I figure they must yield enough donations to at least make it worth his time to write a new "Don't you want to see Hillary destroyed?" message every week. The racket Wilkinson exposes is pretty much the same thing except it pays better.
