just threw this up for debate.

Hillary's Terrorist Ties
Friday, April 18, 2008


In this week’s debate, Hillary Clinton said all of her “baggage” has been “rummaged through” for years. But important features of her close relationship with known terrorist sympathizers and Hamas supporters are still opaque to the public view.

Her relationship with terrorists began in the mid-1980s when she served on the Board of the New World Foundation, which gave funds to the Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when the PLO was officially recognized by the US government as a terrorist organization.

In 1996, the First Lady initiated an outreach program to bring Muslim leaders to the White House. But, as terrorism expert Steve Emerson noted in the Wall Street Journal: “Curiously, nearly all of the leaders with whom Mrs. Clinton elected to meet came from Islamic fundamentalist organizations. A review of the statements, publications, and conferences of the groups Mrs. Clinton embraced shows unambiguously that they have long advocated or justified violence. By meeting with these groups, the first lady lent them legitimacy as ‘mainstream’ and ‘moderate.’”

2. What Is Your Problem
With over 1,000 posts, I doubt you're s troll - so maybe you're just an Obama supporter who has allowed yourself to be sucked into this nasty partisan infighting.

Clinton is not the one we need to be attacking. John McCain is.

Now off with you and go dig up some terrorist loving dirt on him.

9. What A Shame
Oh, I do see Clinton as having contributed the negative tone of this primary. I have often wondered if her approach to winning the primary isn't scorched earth, or worse, if she's the woman in the Soloman story who would cut the baby in half.

BUT
I thought the Obama campaign was above that. If Obama is our nominee (something I wish for fervently) then we will need Clinton's supporters to rally in the general. We don't do that by pissing them off now.

3. Hillary's clerkship at the radical law firm Truehaft, Walker, Burnstein.
In a life marked largely by political caution, one entry on Senator Clinton's résumé stands out: her clerkship in 1971 at one of America's most radical law firms, Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein.

One partner at the firm, Doris Walker, was a Communist Party member at the time. Another partner, Robert Treuhaft, had left the party in 1958, several years after being called before the House Un-American Activities Committee and labeled as one of America's most "dangerously subversive" lawyers. The Oakland-based firm was renowned for taking clients others rejected as too controversial, including Communists, draft resisters, and members of the African-American militant group known as the Black Panthers.

To this day, Mrs. Clinton's decision to work at the unabashedly left-wing firm is surprising, even shocking, to some of her former colleagues there and to those supporting her bid for the presidency. To the former first lady's enemies and political opponents, her summer at the Treuhaft firm is yet another indication that radical ideology lurks beneath the patina of moderation she has adopted in public life.

12. It's funny how anything that can be tied to Obama can be tied to the Clintons in some way also.

It doesn't help Obama at all to act like those you don't like.

19. Obama rises above it and that's good. He is a good man.
but here it is important that we, the ordinary voters see the Democratic campaign is not a one way street and that it IS fair. It is unfair for her to say in the debates that Obama needs more scrutiny. Hillary Clinton has clearly many more skeletons in the closet.
