No, Con, that’s not quite correct. He did stage a boycott outside this store and called the owner, a Jewish white man, I think, an interloper. The white man was respected in the area, sold at fair prices, and had this stroe there for 25 yrs or so. There was a fire at the store and a few people that worked there, all black, were killed. I think, some person, NOT SHARPTON, set the place afire. He was never charged or implicated in the fire in any way, although his actions did lead to the situation that caused this nut to set the place ablaze.
Hillary keeps bad company. So, what else is new?
The truth is generally seen, rarely heard. Gracian.
Yes, I did forget about that. Good point. That was a move orchestrated to win the Latino vote in NY. The terrorists set off bombs all over NY, killing one cop and blinding another.
Has anyone else heard of this? It came in my email today! WOW!
Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a black man named Alex
Rackley needed to die. Rackley was a fellow Panther suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Safely immobilized his “friends” tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley Black Panther member Warren Kimbro took Mr.Rackley’s outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackleys body was found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn.
Maybe at this point youre curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers. Well, in 1977 thats only eight years later only one of the killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a
scholarship to Harvard. He later became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut State College. Isnt that something? As a 60s radical you can pump a bullet into someones head, and years later, in the same State,
you can be an assistant college dean! Only in America! Ericka Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley’s torture. Some years later Ms.Huggins was elected to a California school
board.
How in the world do you think that these killers got off so easy? Well, maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial. One of those people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee or Mr. Lan Lee as the case may be, isnt a college
dean. He isnt a member of a California school board. He is the head of the U.S.Justice Departments Civil Rights Division. Lee is serving in that capacity illegally, by the way, but thats another story — another
part of the Clinton saga of ignoring the rule of law.
O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther
apologist now an assistant college dean?
Nope, neither. The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at
Yale University at that time. She is now known as The Smartest Woman in the World. She is none other than the unofficial Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from the State of New York ---- our lovely First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In the first place, John John, I would verify the story to see if it is true. If I sent you an e-mail saying I have scientific proof the world is flat, would you believe me? The bull-shit detector should be set on maximum power when dealing with stuff posted on the Web.
And incidentally, I am not an admirer of Hillary or her husband.
Now wait a minute. I’m not a Clinton fan either, in fact, I love Guiliani, but trying to attack her based on the actions of somebody that she defended in court is just not right. It’s the exact kind of thing that has turned the American public off to politics (but that’s another great debate). Identifying her with one of her legal clients is simply unfair.
The IQ of a group is equal to the IQ of the dumbest member divided by the number of people in the group.
Without taking sides (thank God I’m out of NYS and don’t have to) I have just one comment on the <strike>Red Herring</strike> Black Panther article:
It shows that whatever else Hilary Rodham Clinton may be, she was an ethical lawyer, willing to go the distance for a client, however she may have felt about that client.
John John, you of all people know better than to slam a lawyer for what clients he/she may have had. If you think HRC is incompetent, too liberal, married to the wrong man, too statist, too libertarian, too conservative, too mundane, or too anything else, I’ll listen. But to slam her for having defended a client ably as his/her attorney is like slamming a Christian for saying that God would forgive Hitler if he repented. It goes with the territory. For all you know, she may have despised her client. But like a surgeon operating on the man who stole his ex-wife from him, an ethical lawyer puts his/her personal prejudices to one side and does the job. It’s called professionalism.
Poly, you, Rousseau and Peyote raise good points. When I read that post from Con I did remember hearing that, or reading it, someplace, but I’m still not certain that it’s true. I think it might be.
Correct, you can’t always tell a person’s character, or lack of, by the drek they defend, but if there is a pattern, as in Kunstler or Ramsey Clark, it MIGHT be indicative of their values, MIGHT be, I say.
I also remember reading that Hillary was on the Commission prosecuting Nixon and made some quote to the affect" any President that lies to the American public should resign." Yeah, right. It seems she forgot that sentiment when she became First Lady and her husband lied to the Nation.
Anybody have the exact quote? Con, have you searched to see if that story is true? Liberals, would it make any difference to you. Is she sinking from the cumulative effect of her crap?
The truth is generally seen, rarely heard. Gracian.
The info you first posted on the Black Panther case did not say Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Lee were lawyers at the time. You said they were Yale law students leading demonstrations. If that was true then I believe it might be a significantly different situation than an ethical lawyer defending a client. It would be much more reflective of their own beliefs and interests.
That said, I will repeat the caution about verifying these allegations before accepting them.
Nebuli, that was posted by Conman, not me. I, too, would like to see verification of the story. Can anyone help in that regard?I’ve tried and found no link to the First lady that wasn’t the usual lauditory crap put out by her people.
I do remember hearing, or reading, don’t know which, that she was an activist in the 60s & 70s, but to what extent I do not know.

Some bio stuff on the Left Wing Radical, Hillary Rodham Clinton
Her years at Yale were marked by her hard-core left-wing activism under the tutelage of Marian Wright Edelman. She also took a position with Robert Borosage, later a founder of the Institute for Policy Studies.
When Black Panther leader Bobby Seale was on trial in New Haven for murdering a fellow Panther, Hillary and her friends were in the courtroom every day where she assisted his far-left lawyer, Charles Garry. Through Garry, Hillary met Communist Party activists Jessica Mitford and her husband, Robert Truehaft, for many years the Communist Party USA’s attorney. In the summer of 1971, Hillary interned at Truehaft’s Berkeley law office. Truehaft, by the way, was once described by the House Committee on Un-America Activities as one of the most “dangerously subversive” attorneys in the country. It was through her networking with this older generation of fifth column lawyers that Hillary got her position on the House Watergate Committee and later on the boards of directors of the Children’s Defense Fund and the Legal Services Corporation.

Among the baggage Clinton may have to explain is her commodities trading 20 years ago that turned a thousand-dollar investment into a hundred-thousand-dollar profit. Wall Street whiz’ can’t do this, and she does her first time out? Waaaaaaa! She could be asked about her role in the firing of White House Travel Office employees;[ she hired Livingstone] about the secret meetings she led as head of the President’s task force to federalize health care. Great job, Hilly. And there’s Whitewater. How did missing billing records of Hillary’s work on the Castle Grande land scheme re-appear in her private quarters two years after being subpoenaed?[ now we know what goes on in their bedroon]the issue of fundraising and the sale of the Lincoln Bedroom is also likely fodder for reporters.
Wonder if she discussed this stuff with Sharpie Sharpton?

"I just love the perky campaign slogan. HILLARY! It evokes all those shiny divas who need only one name – Cher and Madonna and Charo and Ann-Margret. It also has a whiff of royalty. "
All you need to do is say Hillary and everyone knows who you mean. I wonder if she will have Jesse come to “Hymie town”, imagine?, and help her campaign for the black vote? In a bid to garner more black votes she called the policemen that accidently killed a black man, MURDERS. The case is before a jury now. What kind of person, a lawyer no less, would make that kind of a statement to pollute the proceedings just to get votes?

This quote is most often attributed to Bill Clinton and several sites (Snopes et. al.) have debunked this quote as being his. This is the first time that I have heard it attributed to Hillary and am fairly sure that she was not on the committee prosecuting Nixon.
John John, I’m not a Clinton supporter but I’ll assume that role if you’re going to print unverified stories that border on outright lies.
Shean Puffy Combs, the rapper, has donated $1000 to Hillary Lard Ass Clinton’s campaign. A reporter ask her how she felt about that and would she return the money, since he was just indicted on attempted weapons & bribery charges,[ should have been attempted murder] One of her handlers stepped to the fore and ran interception, saying " ‘we’ believe in innocent until proven guilty."[yeah, right!] The reporter pressed, “well, Mrs. Clinton, why did say the four police officers were MURDERERS when the case has not been decided and is still in front of a jury?” She chimed in, “Well, uh, I misspoke then, I should not have said that. It’s up to a jury to decide their guilt or innocence.” Some Yale law school graduate. Real bright.
PS
She’s keeping Puffy Combs $1000. The wind bag phony!
