Vast Right-wing Conspiracy - Earlier Uses

Earlier Uses

While popularized by Mrs. Clinton in her 1998 interview, the phrase did not originate with her. In 1991 the Detroit News wrote:

Thatcher-era Britain produced its own crop of paranoid left-liberal films. ... All posited a vast right-wing conspiracy propping up a reactionary government ruthlessly crushing all efforts at opposition under the guise of parliamentary democracy.

An AP story in 1995 also used the phrase, relating an official's guess that the Oklahoma City bombing was the work of "maybe five malcontents" and not "some kind of vast right-wing conspiracy."

Famous quotes containing the word earlier:

    When over the houses, a golden illusion
    Brings back an earlier season of quiet
    And quieting dreams in the sleepers in darkness
    The moon is the mother of pathos and pity.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Fair Hope! our earlier Heaven! by thee
    Young Time is taster to Eternity.
    The generous wine with age grows strong, not sour,
    Nor need we kill thy fruit to smell thy flower.
    Thy golden head never hangs down
    Till in the lap of Love’s full noon
    It falls and dies: Oh no, it melts away
    As doth the dawn into the day,
    As lumps of sugar lose themselves, and twine
    Their subtle essence with the soul of wine.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
