Is Arianna Huffington still a Republican? 
 Edited on Fri Sep-10-10 03:35 PM by JamesA1102
I ask this because she did start out as a conservative Republican and remained on for many years. In 2000 she supported Bush and repeatedly attack Al Gore in her Washington Times column. Her transition came when she opposed the invasion of Iraq, but there are a lot of Republicans who opposed the invasion and differed with Bush on spending policy.
Recently her columns blame everything on President Obama. There is no mention of the unprecedented obstruction by the GOP. When she does criticize the Republicans it is usually in the context of the Dems are just as bad as they are.
Maybe she decided to use the credibility she built up with the left from her opposition to Bush by pretending that she was no longer a Republican and use it to bring down the left from within. It would explain the almost Nazi-like censorship on her site, why she protects Joe Scarborough and the MJ crew, etc.

No DUmmy. She never has been. She had that rich husband who was older than dirt. Remember? When he died, she stopped hob nobbing with Conservatives, took all his dough, and openly came out to be what she truly is. An insane leftist BITCH! She's always been a leftist. She USED her husband. She's one of the most disgusting gutter snipes I know. (Thank God not personally.)

6. No
 That site has the strictest moderation of most sites on the web. Post that don't violate their guidelines but simply disagree with Ms. Huffington and other bloggers there are routinely deleted.

Hmmm...at least one of the squirrel's acorns were found.

where thoughts that go against the main intent are reported and deleted?
edit: heck, isnt it still a reportable offense to hint at voting for a non-democratic candidate?

10. I've grown to really dislike
 HuffPost. Overall, it sucks, and yes, I think she has become more right-wing in her content.

Wow...

[crockspot]

When did her husband die? I thought he just came out as gay after his failed campaign, she divorced him, and he is flying under the radar at some tropical resort with a hot stud.....

This is my town.  He took the job away from a great old school republican and then went after senator and lost...maybe to babbling boxer(?).

Here's my take either you just ain't got the brain power to know your husband is homo or you are using the relationship to gold dig.  Either way I don't think a low person such as she should have any influence.

Huff's hubby was a fag? Hmmm. I coud have swore someone told me was a really old guy that croaked, and she took every penny.

*Research...Need to remember to research*

Either way, she's a slimy, no good bitch.

According to Wiki, he's still alive and kicking.

She's as "Republican" as I am "Democrat".

Bitch has such an ego she'd go to the opening of an envelope because she thought there'd be cameras and a red carpet there.

I agree.....I always hear the theme to Green Acres whenever she speaks. Not sure why!

If the guy keeps making comments like that, he may be voted booted off $kin's Hellhole.

Oh well. A single tear rolls down my cheek.
