The problem is that within a few years of their deaths, their foundations were co-opted by the left and now support causes that would have had their founders rolling in their graves.<br /><br />And Hillsdale College rolled in the dough because they had a conservative newsletter. Turns out it was almost the ONLY thing conservative there.patrokovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342697173847508018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-17877181017935880162011-03-11T17:16:20.733-07:002011-03-11T17:16:20.733-07:00Righthaven is not a left or right-wing organizatio...Righthaven is not a left or right-wing organization, they're just a bunch of guys out to make a buck.<br /><br />The people who disagree most strongly with them tend to be vaguely liberal or libertarian, but mostly they're techies and are focused on tech issues. For example, Electronic Frontier Foundation, GNU Foundation.<br /><br />In mainstream politics there's large support for IP laws from both parties. If you polled politicians on whether the US needs strong copyright laws, I imagine 85% of Republicans would say yes vs. 80% of Democrats.<br /><br />All in all, this really isn't a left vs. right story.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009702414432282984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-62415513724452836592011-03-11T14:17:06.184-07:002011-03-11T14:17:06.184-07:00It's true about the money - the Left has far m...It's true about the money - the Left has far more large fincancial sugar daddies than the Right. But let's also not forget that the Left has a compliant and friendly Press ready to trumpet whatever the Left wants. Remember Ezra Klein's Journolist? I'll bet a month's salary that it still exists, just not as openly. <br /><br />Don't believe me? For evidence, simply look at the utterly different coverage the violent, hate-filled and at least partially Astro-turfed protesters in Wisconsin have received as opposed to the completely non-violent, true grassroots Tea Party folks.がんこもんhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311940933349299959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-30109667900998994542011-03-11T12:22:55.859-07:002011-03-11T12:22:55.859-07:00Thanks for posting this.....

In America, EACH side pays its own legal fees. Righthaven has the CHOICE not to have its lawyers work as hard (of course, they risk losing if they do that). Only Righthaven is responsible for ordering its lawyers to expend billable hours. They can always confess judgement and stop the fees. ;-)30yearProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490572564579959432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-45508644215752757602011-03-10T20:56:14.596-07:002011-03-10T20:56:14.596-07:00...chasing ambulances....chasing ambulances.kahr40https://www.blogger.com/profile/09754171029424212677noreply@blogger.com
