Irony is delicious.  WLS is upset because one manufactured scandal drowned out the The New York Times‘s coverage of the most important unreported story ever.  If you’re of the opinion that the McCain campaign is overstuffed with tactical geniuses dedicated to sitting on the sordid tale of the Annenberg Challenge until closer to the election, listen up, because I’m about to tell a story.

It begins, as Tom Maguire writes, “[a]t a White House event with Bill Clinton [where] philanthropist Walter Annenberg announced that he was making a $500 million grant to cities across the nation to put towards public school reform.”  The intrigue and perfidy originate, as does everything currently wrong with the country, with Bill Clinton and a leftist billionaire cast in the Soros mold.  Bill Ayers, former WU terrorist and Annenberg’s brother-in-ideology, requested and received $50 million for urban enrichment programs which would, in accordance with the core beliefs of all involved, function as leftist indoctrination camps.  While much is known and reviled about Ayers and his personal choice to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s board, Barack Obama, relatively little attention has been paid to their benefactor—the man who personally approved Ayers’s $150 million plan to put the Che back in Chicago—Walter Annenberg.

Annenberg arrived on the national scene when he and his father, Philadelphia publisher Moses “Moe” Annenberg, were charged with evading $3,258,809 in income taxes.  Although based in Philadelphia, the Annenberg clan’s ties with the Chicago political machine were already well-established: his co-defendants included “James M. Ragen Sr., Chicago, former general manager of Nation-wide News Service, Inc.; James M. Ragen Jr., Chicago, son of the Nation-wide general manager; Charles W. Bidwill, Chicago, head of a printing company and owner of the Chicago Cardinals, professional football club; [and] Herbert S. Kamin, Chicago.”[1]

His father was successfully prosecuted, but Walter avoided jail-time.  He spent the better part of the next decade in a manner befitting a billionaire wastrel: rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood elite.[2] When he assumed control of his father’s publishing empire after Moses’s death in 1952, Annenberg used those Hollywood connections to start a little magazine called TV Guide.

Under his stewardship, Triangle Publications waged war against conservative American values from the pages of Seventeen to the stages of American Bandstand.  As the 1952 election neared, he hosted countless fundraisers for the first “eggheaded” political neophyte from Illinois whose Presidential aspirations were dashed by a humble war hero: Adlai Stevenson.  At an exclusive Malibu Beach estate, the Los Angeles Times reported, Annenberg convened “[m]ore than 40 State and national Republican Party leaders [for] dinner with Sen. Nixon, who flew [there] from Denver to meet with them.”[3].

That doesn’t sound—never mind.  Even hard-core communist sympathizers can have a day of clarity.  Annenberg’s solstice of sanity ended with a winter chill.  As the end of Eisenhower’s second term neared, the Kennedy clan courted the powerful publisher’s for support in the 1960 elections: “Vice-President and Mrs. Nixon were hosts at a small dinner party in their Forest Lane home last night to Mr. and Mrs. Norman Chandler and Mr. and Mrs. Otis Chandler[;] Mr. and Mrs. Walter Annenberg; [and] British Ambassador Sir Harold Caccia.”[4].

Now wait one minute—why’s the financial backer of Ayer’s “enrichment” camps dining with Nixon and British Ambassadors on the eve of an election?  Soviet COINTELPRO? We’re talking about the man who green-lit Howard K. Smith’s 1959 hit-piece, “The Political Obiturary of Richard M. Nixon”:

[T]wo stations, WNHC-TV in New Haven and WFIL-TV in Philadelphia . . . blacked out not only the original telecast but even a reference to the program in a straight news report 24 hours later[.]  The owner of the outlets, Walter Annenberg . . . could have readily added an editorial footnote disagreeing with the program without going to the extreme measure of total suppression.[5]

The fuck?  This is the same Arab-loving Annenberg whose papers slandered the Israelis at the outset of the Six-Day War, claiming the deaths of three Israel soldiers on November 11th had been faked as a pretext to send 4,000 heavily-armed soldiers into a town of 3,000, as-Samu, in order to secure water for the nearby settlements of Ma’on and Asa’el.  As M.S. Handler wrote in The New York Times: “Walter Annenberg, publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer, was reported by his newspaper to have contributed $1 million.”[6] His own newspaper reported that he donated an inflation-adjusted $6,928,926.20 million to the United Jewish Appeal’s Israel Emergency Fund—what?

Shut up.  Annenberg approved Ayers’s grant application.  He hears capitalism’s death-rattle.  He thinks the New Deal proves Marx correct about socialism being a stepping stone to capitalism.  He and his friends finance the overthrow of the American government.  Remember Norman Chandler, Annenberg’s co-conspirator in the communist plot to infiltrate Nixon’s dining room?  Raping the American way of life to death is the first thing he thinks about in the morning and the last thing he thinks about night.  Like Annenberg, he hires inexperienced college kids to run multi-billion dollar enterprises into the ground:

Norman Chandler, chairman and chief executive officer [of Times Mirror Co.], announced Wednesday [that] Walter H. Annenberg, president of Triangle Publications, Inc., was elected a director of Times Mirror at the company’s board meeting . . . Annenberg is also a director of Campbell Soup Co., the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and Girard Trust Bank.[7]

Just hold those horses—Obama’s an acolyte of an anti-American terrorist funded by Annenberg.  Annenberg supports terrorism.  He’s not a close personal friend of GOP elite.

A Nixon spokesman described [them] as the two families’ closest and most personal friends.

According to The New York Times article about the plan to secure a truce between rival factions the heathen way—i.e. by exploiting the sacred bond of marriage for crass political ends—the “two families” in question were the Husseins and al-Sauds.

Former President Eisenhower’s only grandson, Dwight David Eisenhower, and President-elect Richard M. Nixon’s younger daughter, Julie, were married yesterday . . .

But Annenberg wasn’t there.  He was out aiding and abetting peace-loving—

. . . at a dignified ceremony with Quaker touches.

They were superficial!

Julie, who considers herself a Quaker, asked Dr. Peale and her bridegroom to use the Quaker “thee” and “thou” throughout the service.

SUPERFICIAL!  Besides, what has this got to do with the man behind the terrorist behind Obama?

Guests included Walter Annen—
