Clinton Quiet About Own Radical Ties
Washington Post ^

Posted on 05/20/2008 8:04:11 PM PDT by JimWayne

When Hillary Rodham Clinton questioned rival Barack Obama's ties to 1960s radicals, her comments baffled two retired Bay Area lawyers who knew Clinton in the summer of 1971 when she worked as an intern at a left-wing law firm in Oakland, Calif., that defended communists and Black Panthers. ... In her autobiography, "Living History," Clinton details little of the firm's background. She wrote that she "spent most of my time working for Mal Burnstein researching, writing legal motions and briefs for a child custody case."

But members of the firm have different recollections. Burnstein recalled her working on a case involving Stanford University students who refused to sign an oath attesting that they had never been communists.

Working as a lawyer defending a client is one thing, but voluntarily deciding to be friends with domestic terrorists like Ayers, or choosing racists like Wright to be one’s mentor, is another.

Amazing how this only makes the Post when it looks like she is losing.

"I gave a talk at Wellesley, where she was a student," Oglesby said... "I liked her. I think of her as a good guy."

Yeah, I don't know about the good part.

I am fairly certain Dohern’s father was a radical lawyer who defended communists. Was Ayers’ father a lawyer, as well?

Kathy Boudin’s father, Leonard Boudin, was the secret member of the CPUSA who defended communists. He was suspected by the State Dept. of being a Czech STB agent.
His brother or cousin Louis was also a far-left attorney.

However, this Wash Post article is bullsh*t, a Washington Post Whitewash of Hillary’s extensive Communist Party ties.
Notice that they don’t identify Treuhaft law partner Walker as lifelong CPUSA member Doris Brin Walker and there was another partner who was a red.

No mention of Charles R. Gary, longtime CPUSA member who led the defense of the Oakland 7 and the New Haven Panther torture murder trial which Hillary worked on.

No mention of Hillary’s law professor Thomas I. Emerson (also known as Tommie the Commie), a man with a CPUSA record a mile long.

Then there is Johnetta Cole, once a Prof. at UMass-Amherst, leader of the Cuban DGI-KGB-CPUSA controlled group known as the Venceremos Brigade(See: House Internal Security Committee, “The Theory and Practice of Communism, 1972: Venceremos Brigade”, hearings, Oct. 16, 18 & 19, 1972).

Hillary had Cole on Bill’s transition team in 1992 and was set to nominate her for Secy of Education when her red background was exposed by the Jewish Forward, Human Events, and one or two other conservative publications.

And there is no mention of Bill and Hillary’s mob ties with LIUNA (Laborers International Union, No. America). See the May 1997 issue of The American Spectator, Byron York’s piece spells it all out.

The whole Obama-Hillary story about their red connections has not yet been told, but some of it will be, in part, within the next few days. Look at the Wall Street Journal and Newsmax probably this Thursday or Friday. Might be some surprising information in them.

TRUST ME!

Hillary Slams Wall Street’s “Capitalist Pigs”

As her chance for the Democratic presidential nomination dwindles, Senator Hillary Clinton (N.Y.), in a desperate attempt to eat into rival, Illinois Senator Barack Obama’s base, vowed that her administration would “expropriate the expropriators” by “imposing ‘windfall’ taxes and punitive regulation” on “capitalist pigs.”

Clinton conceded that her race for the nomination is an uphill fight. “I thought that exposing Senator Obama’s links to the Weather Underground would weaken his support among Democratic voters, but I was wrong,” she admitted. “Well, I want voters to know that I have progressive connections, too.”

Among the connections Clinton promises she will highlight in the remaining primaries is that radical leftist Saul Alinsky was her college mentor. “When Obama was just a snot-nosed kid, I was soaking up Marxist ideology at the knee of the great Saul Alinsky,” she boasted.

The Senator said she was not concerned that these revelations of a radical past would hurt her in November “because after I win the nomination, I’ll move back toward the ‘center.’ No one will remember what I said in May.”

In related news, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) questioned Hillary’s prospective suitability for a vice-presidential nomination. “Sure, she downed a shot of whiskey while campaigning in Pennsylvania, but could she drink a fifth in one sitting?” he asked. “Is she a good swimmer? What would she do if the ‘ship-of-state’ runs aground? There are just too many unknowns about her capabilities. The Democratic Party

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
