Last edited Sun Apr 3, 2016, 12:12 AM - Edit history (1)

read herein and around the web this primary season is this "right-wing" meme thing regarding hillary clinton.......

hearkening rubio's infamous debate refrain,

let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that alexander cockburn didn't know what he was writing. he knew exactly what he was writing:

The Clinton Files: Is Hillary a Crook?

"From 1993 to 2001, Alexander Cockburn and I wrote dozens of articles on the political corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their cronies in DC and Arkansas. In many ways, those years represented the golden age of political journalism, with a fresh scandal ripening each month. As Hillary cruises toward the Democratic nomination, if not the White House, it’s time to dig into the Clinton Files and resurrect the stories of sleaze, malfeasance and transgression from that feculent decade." (Jeffrey St. Clair - 2015)

and let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that jeff cohen didn't know... he knew exactly:

Clintons vs. Insurance Industry: A Media Myth (1993)
"Buoyed by NAFTA's victory, the White House will now concentrate on its other major policy initiative -- health care reform. We can expect mainstream news outlets to paint a picture of Bill and Hillary Clinton in mortal battle against the big bad insurance industry. It's a vivid picture, but it distorts reality. As in the NAFTA battle, big corporations are in the president's corner... A full-blown media myth was born, with most reports omitting basic facts"

and let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that sam smith didn't know... he knew exactly:

[center]"A CHART THAT APPEARED IN THE PROGRESSIVE REVIEW, MAY 1992"[/center]

"The media tried to turn the Clinton story into Camelot II. Just the truth would have made life easier for all of us." (1993)
"Hillary Clinton and David Watkins move to oust the White House travel office in favor of World Wide Travel, Clinton's source of $1 million in fly-now-pay-later campaign trips. The White House fires seven long-term employees for alleged mismanagement and kickbacks. The director, Billy Dale, charged with embezzlement, will be acquitted in less than two hours by the jury. An FBI agent involved in the case, IC Smith, will write later, "The White House Travel Office matter sent a clear message to the Congress as well as independent counsels that this White House would be different. Lying, withholding evidence, and considering - even expecting - underlings to be expendable so the Clintons could avoid accountability for their actions would become the norm." http://prorev.com/connex.htm


The Trump-Clinton problem (2016)
"While we have never had so many dishonest, corrupt and/or incompetent candidates running for president in the same election, it is worth bearing in mind that politics more often reflects, rather than creates, our culture. Donald Trump is what modern capitalism has taught us to respect, Hillary Clinton is a model of amoral power that the media wants us to admire, and Ted Cruz a reflection of the mass corruption of Christianity by evangelical hustlers like his father." https://samsmitharchives.wordpress.com/2016/02/08/the-trump-clinton-problem/

and let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that robert scheer didn't know... he knew exactly:

Indigenous People In Mexico, As Worldwide, Exploited In Name Of Progress (1994)
"OK, then why the deafening silence from the Clinton administration about the Indian uprising in southern Mexico? Grave issues of human rights have been raised by reports of summary executions by the army, indiscriminate bombing of the countryside and the strafing of journalists. Has the president no words of caution on this?

The rebels also singled out NAFTA as potentially exacerbating their people's troubles, so a response from President Clinton is in order. After all, he promised that NAFTA would usher in a bright new day for all on both sides of the border; shouldn't he now respond to the fears of desperately poor people that their lot will only get worse?"

Go Ahead, Back Hillary Clinton and Forget All About Her Record (2015)
"But it is in matters of economic policy—driving this election—where the failure of the Clintons is the most obvious, and where Hillary Clinton seems to be even less conflicted than her husband in serving the super rich at the expense of the middle class." http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/go_ahead_back_hillary_clinton_and_forget_all_about_her_record_20151009

so, where do these allegations originate: too young to know/remember, misinformed, or just plain ol' outright denial?
