Bill Clinton tied to internet company that helped trap Tibetan activists. Everything about Hillary is so fake fake fake. She says one thing, her advisors and spouse do the opposite. They think the American public is too stupid to see it.

Bill Clinton, China linked via his foundation

By Stephen Braun, Los Angeles Times April 13, 2008

NEW YORK -- As Chinese authorities have clamped down on unrest in Tibet and jailed dissidents in advance of the 2008 Olympics, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken a strong public stance, calling for restraint in Tibet and urging President Bush to boycott the Olympics opening ceremonies in Beijing.

But her recent stern comments on China's internal crackdown collide with former President Bill Clinton's fundraising relationship with a Chinese Internet company accused of collaborating with the mainland government's censorship of the Web.

Last month, the firm, Alibaba Inc., carried a government-issued "most wanted" posting on its Yahoo China homepage, urging viewers to provide information on Tibetan activists suspected of stirring recent riots.

IN HANGZHOU: President Clinton gave the keynote address at a 2005 conference organized by Alibaba, hailing the Internet as “an inherently cooperative instrument.” A firm that has donated to the president's charity is accused of collaborating with the government in its crackdown on Tibetan activists. Hillary Clinton has spoken out against China's actions.

....Alibaba, which took over Yahoo's China operation in 2005 as part of a billion-dollar deal with the U.S.-based search engine, arranged for the former president to speak to a conference of Internet executives in Hangzhou in September 2005. Instead of taking his standard speaking fees, which have ranged from $100,000 to $400,000, Clinton accepted an unspecified private donation from Alibaba to his international charity, the William J. Clinton Foundation.

If you aren't pissed off and bitter, you haven't been paying attention.

1. Talking out of both sides of their mouth is a Clinton trait

She will say anything to win an election, and they will do anything to make a buck.

2. Damn.......

I'm almost speechless.....there is so much dirt on these two, it makes one crossed eyed!

3. That, in a nutshell, is why there needs to be a list of donors provided

for public scrutiny. Pay for play doesn't have to be directly to the candidate. This story is especially troubling.

4. How much Bill? How much? How much did you sell the Tibetan Buddhists for?
