Flashback:
Forget The Tabloids, Political Hit Lists Are Real
A top Senate Republican took to the Senate floor
Wednesday morning to suggest that the Obama White House is plotting
a political strategy similar to that of ex-President Richard
Nixon and may be on the verge of preparing its own “enemies
list.”
Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), who
served in the Nixon White House, offered what he said was a
“friendly suggestion” to the White House not to
repeat the errors he saw committed by the staff of the disgraced
former president.
“Based upon that experience and my 40 years since then
in and out of public life, I want to make what I hope will be
taken as a friendly suggestion to President Obama and his White
House: Don’t create an enemies list,” Alexander
said.
Describing the actions of Vice President Spiro Agnew and Nixon
operative Chuck Colson, Alexander said he sees “symptoms
of this same kind of animus developing in the Obama administration.”
Alexander read off a list of examples he says support his contention,
including: a reported effort by the White House to marginalize
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a supposed effort by the Health
and Human Services Department to put a “gag order”
on the insurer Humana, the White House move to take on Fox News,
Obama’s repeated criticisms of banks and investment houses,
his alleged “taking names” of “bondholders
who resisted the GM and Chrysler bailouts,” and the president’s
move to make insurers the bogeyman of the health care debate.
