Big Dan: This is from LAST YEAR, this is old news that needs to be brought up again! Due to WILK's Steve Corbett's blatant anti-Obama
campaign! Setup like an infomercial, a union member "happens" to call into Steve's show, and then Hillary Clinton's brother Hugh Rodham "happens" to call into the show! Does Steve Corbett think we're stupid??? One might think this had all the hallmarks of a professional set-up... 
The Nation: Clinton Campaign Strategists Closely Tied to Union Busters, GOP Operatives, Conservative Media
A new expose in The Nation magazine finds that while Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is publicly trying to win support of unions in her presidential campaign, behind the scenes she is being advised by a team of strategists closely affiliated with unionbusters, GOP operatives and conservative media. We speak with the reporter who broke the story.
In campaign news, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton reached out to members of the Culinary Workers Union on Wednesday during a stop in Las Vegas.
The union represents casino and hotel workers. Senator Clinton said it should be easier for unions to organize and that private equity firms should honor union contracts after buyouts.
While Clinton is publicly trying to win the support of such unions, behind the scenes she is being advised by a team of strategists closely affiliated with unionbusters, GOP operatives, conservative media and other Democratic Party antagonists.
This according to a new expose in The Nation magazine titled "Hillary Inc." written by Ari Berman. Much of Berman’s article focuses on Senator Clinton’s top strategist, Mark Penn, who heads the public relations firm Burson-Marstellar.
Among other things, the company helps firms fight unionization efforts. Up until March, the labor section of Burson-Marstellar’s website read: “Companies cannot be caught unprepared by Organized Labor’s coordinated campaigns.”
Mark Penn’s list of previous and current clients reads like a who’s who of Corporate America: Texaco, Eli Lilly, Microsoft, Proctor and Gamble, Monsanto.

● Obama wins all possible scenarios (click here/hat tip to GWN)
● The Nation: The PR firm run by Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton's top strategist, has a new client: Blackwater.
● Client of the day: Blackwater. The firm of which Mark Penn remains president, Burson-Marsteller, has raised eyebrows for straying a bit from core Democratic Party issues, with its involvement in an anti-union campaign and for representing a leading, troubled subprime lender. But ... Blackwater?!
I guess Democracy NOW!, The Nation Magazine, and Politico.com are not credible websites, according to Steve???
● Even as Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign was blasting Sen. Barack Obama for his ties to the Exelon Corporation, the firm of Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist, was earning hundreds of thousands of dollars from the very same nuclear energy giant. This past week, Burson Marsteller, Penn's powerhouse consulting agency, was paid more than $230,000 by Exelon to help renew a nuclear energy license in New Jersey, the Huffington Post has learned. The payment was for work that took place over several months, and Burson is still employed by the company.
