It was only a matter of time, really. Wingnut radio hosts and bloggers have found a new target to blame for Foleygate: The Clintons. Rush Limbaugh has just promoted this line on his radio show, saying: "The Clinton war room is at full speed on this." And wingnut blog Red State warned that a "Clinton front group" was driving this story. The evidence that the Clintons are behind this? It's almost comically thin, really: It's actually based on the fact that a group funding robo-calls on Foleygate is headed by a guy who worked in the Clinton White House from 1993 until 1995. More after the jump.

Here's Rush:

I have been discussing, ladies and gentlemen, that the Clinton war room is at full speed on this, and looks like I was more right than I even knew. It seems that there's a group out there called American Family Voices, and it's a lib group. The president of this lib group is a guy named Michael Lux, L-u-x.

They've registered as both a commercial enterprise and a nonprofit enterprise. This outfit, American Family Voices, is now doing a lot of push polling out there to Republicans. For those of you in Rio Linda, push polling is they're just making gazillions of phone calls out there. You answer the phone and it's a recorded message, and the recorded message is telling Republicans to call their Republican House members and urging them to ask for the resignation of Denny Hastert and the rest of the Republican leadership. Now, who is this guy Michael Lux? Well, Michael Lux served in the White House from January of '93 to January of '95 as a special assistant to the president for public liaison. In 1992, Lux served as the constituency director on both the Clinton-Gore campaign and the presidential transition. So these people, Clintonoids are trying to take out Denny Hastert.

Red State:

Clinton Front Group Behind Foley Phone Banks

Phone calls are going out nationwide to Republicans from a group called American Family Voices, the group is run by Mr. Mike Lux, who was in the Clinton WhiteHouse from 1993 -- 1995 as aide to President Clinton and former political director of People for the American Way. So the Clinton war room is in full operation, smear smear, destroy destroy, it's the Clinton way. The group asks the call recipient to call their Republican member of Congress and demand that the Republican leadership resign for covering up the Foley affair.

The Clintons are back, the game plan is the same, the only problem is the Internet is available to find the facts, and spread the word.

You really can't make this stuff up. There's simply nothing that the chumps and easy marks who make up the audiences of Rush, Red State and company won't believe.
