Excerpts of 2001 Hillary News Conf.: pardons, bribery (brother), her treasurer
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 11:15 AM by catgirl
Her brother, husband and campaign treasurer were involved, but she knew nothing
about it. Her brother took $400,000 to secure a pardon. And Bill is as crooked as they
come.

He was involved in pardons as well.

4. Get those White House Calendars re her brother's stays in last 2 wks. of adminstration
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 11:16 AM by Divernan
And notice how she DOES NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION ! ! !

Q. Senator, was your brother a guest at the White House in the final two weeks of your husband's administration?

A. He was a frequent guest at the White House, you know. He's my brother. I love my brother. I'm just extremely disappointed in this terrible misjudgment he made.

Track down the Clinton pardons and fast forward to HRC's campaign donors.

5. So, is Obama officially going negative now?
Seen a lot of RW talking points today...

Perhaps Obama should hire Ken Starr as his political advisor...

6. He can fight hard and fair; not hard and dirty like HRC
HRC is using the Karl Rove play book. We learned from Bush/Rove that people who fight dirty to get in to the White House don't clean up their act after the inauguration.

HRC would be sucking up to corporate interests to keep her donor base for the next election, and her foreign policy would be compromised by Bill's multimillion dollar foreign business deals. And one of HRC's prime objectives would be to grind into dust Dean and the progressive branch of the Democratic party.

The GOP will be ecstatic will all of those actions.

11. Actually you have it ass backwards...
Obama is doing exactly what Bush did in 2000 and 2004. The media, too lazy to actually do their job, followed Bushes supporters on a non-stop, frenzied, blanket party in Bushes name and for his benifit. Bush claimed to be, 'above the fray,' and basically said nothing while it went on and on. This is exactly what has been happening in the democratic primary. Don't believe it? Turn on Keith Olberman, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, take your pick, and listen for five minutes.

Obama knows exactly what the media is doing in his name and it has his tacit approval.

"The goal was to have his candidates hover above the fray while urging their opponents to concentrate on issues, thereby constantly putting them in a position of having to play defense and deny unfounded accusations. Eventually, the Rove client, according to the script, would step out to demand an end to the ugliness. Of course, Rove wrote the narrative of these plans in such a way that calling for a truce would not occur until the damage had already been done to his opposition."

9. I'm not Obama. I'm just revealing Hillary's lies and evasiveness

The Clinton's are famous for making deals. Many of the recipients of
Clinton favors, also donate heavily to Bill's library. Bill refuses to release
a list of his big donors. I wonder why.

These articles, btw, are from the NYTimes.
