I found that Scaife, not surprisingly, gave a lot of money to the SBVT and he is a partial owner of Newsmax, which also slimed Kerry as did the other RW media that Scaife contributed to.

The closest thing I could find was that the mortgage that Kerry got on his home for around $6 million was from a NE part of the Mellon Bank. The Mellons do not run the Mellon bank and they haven't for decades. His mother was Sarah Mellon and per Wikidepia:

"Scaife's mother, Sarah, was an alcoholic, as were he and his sister Cordelia. Scaife was affected by the family's poor relationship with the Mellon family, and came to despise the Mellon family name. Still, he inherited a good part of the Mellon fortune when his mother died. A portion of the fortune was placed in trust funds and the rest in foundations. Charitable foundations are required to disburse at least 5% of their assets annually, forcing Scaife to become a philanthropist.".

The Mellons, like the Heinzes, did much good in Pittsburg. Carnegie Mellon's name is not a co-incidence. Kerry getting a loan from a Boston bank that had decades before been bought by the Mellon group of banks does not connect him to Scaife.
