Arianna Huffington used to be a conservative [and a pretty nasty one at that] before she became the founder of the huffington post. In 1973, Arianna (as Stassinopoulou) wrote a book titled The Female Woman, attacking the Womens Liberation movement in general and Germaine Greers 1970 The Female Eunuch in particular. In the book she wrote, Women’s Lib claims that the achievement of total liberation would transform the lives of all women for the better; the truth is that it would transform only the lives of women with strong lesbian tendencies.[10] In the late 1980s, Huffington wrote several articles for National Review. [By 1994] She became known as a reliable supporter of conservative causes such as Newt Gingrichs Republican Revolution and Bob Doles 1996 candidacy for president. She teamed up with liberal comedian Al Franken as the conservative half of Strange Bedfellows[12] during Comedy Centrals coverage of the 1996 U.S. presidential election... As late as 1998, Huffington still aligned herself with the right. During that year she did a weekly radio show in Los Angeles called Left, Right & Center, that match[ed] her, the right-winger, against a self-described centrist policy wonk, Matt Miller, and a veteran leftist journalist, Robert Scheer.[7] [By 1998 her views began to change and] Huffington described herself For me, the primary division is between people who are aware of what I call the two nations (rich and poor), and those who are not.[7] Her first foray into the Internet was a website called Resignation, which called for the resignation of President Bill Clinton and was a rallying place for conservatives opposing Clinton. [By 2003 she ran as an independent in the California Governors recall election and later became the founder of the Huffingtonpost ]
