A Different Standard for Senator Clinton
Media Monitor ^ | 3/10/2006 | Roger Aronoff

Posted on 03/10/2006 7:12:20 AM PST by Mike Bates

Watching Senator Hillary Clinton play to the media, in the controversy over an Arab company managing U.S. ports, provided another important lesson in how our reporters operate by a double standard. After a Senate hearing on the matter, during a "press availability," reporters were desperate to get Mrs. Clinton's views on the matter, as if she had any credentials in the area. She spouted forth like an expert, as if she has been on guard against foreign domination and had an established reputation as the high protector of U.S. sovereignty. It was a good performance, like so many she turned in during her husband's years as president, but it lacked substance.

Why don't any reporters ask her to explain her husband's efforts to have the Chinese Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO), a subsidiary of the People's Liberation Army of Communist China, operate the port at Long Beach, California? Shortly before his administration went to bat for COSCO, the 1996 Clinton-Gore re-election campaign received several million dollars from Chinese and other Asian sources, clearly a violation of campaign laws. But all that happened was that they had to give some of the money back. Attorney General Janet Reno refused to appoint an Independent Counsel to investigate that, and numerous other crooked fundraising schemes, such as Al Gore's appearance at what CNN called the "infamous Hsi Lai Temple luncheon."

Our media don't want to raise those issues, probably regarding them as "ancient history," but there's a more recent matter that should command their attention. There have been new developments in the Hillary-for-Senate campaign finance scandal.

That and some help from Ross Perot was all it took.

My son, who is a big Star Trek fan has a unique way for pronouncing the name "Clinton". He pronounces it the way
you would pronounce "Klingon".

But isn't campaign-finance abuse associated with the presumptive front-runner for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2008 a major story?

He's joking, right?

Without questino both of the Xlintons should be doing extended sentences in prison for their many illegal activities. It's had to even know where to begin.

I know that they are both brinksman and get off on how close they can get to the edge. They believe that they are entitled to their illegal activities because they are the Xlintons and it is their birthright.

There better be a really, really good reason I wasn't pinged to this thread or someone is on double secret probation. Peter knew this was coming and sent it to me a short time ago. I've asked him to come to this thread and comment.

Is that like a triple dog dare? Threats, threats, threats. . .

Having spent some significant "face" time with Hillary and Bill, and having had meals and "face" time with Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan as well, I can say that Hillary is a very different human being from all those presidents I have known. She is without question the most dangerous of them all!

You dont need a pschological evaluation beyond what is on the public record to understand two key factors that drive her- She knows she is "untouchable" by the law (a fact confirmed by Impeachment Manager Dave Schippers) and she believes it is her destiny to become the most powerful woman in human history!

Those two personality factors make her unique among political figures in American history- and the political organization she and Bill have created since 1992 and their experience with the power of two presidential administrations, is the most powerful political base ever created by an aspirant to the White House.

It is incumbent on all us who understand what an unprecedented risk to our republic is presented by a Hillary Clinton presidential candidacy, that we explain how serious that risk is to our fellow Americans.

My evidence of the frauds she has already engaged in to launch her own personal political career should be enough, if the story is finally told, to disqualify her from her ambitions, in the minds of all thinking Americans.
