Can Hillary Clinton, Goldwater Girl, Win Over Republicans?
NY Times ^ | May 17, 2016 | Emma Roller

Posted on 05/17/2016 6:08:37 AM PDT by C19fan

“How did a nice Republican girl from Park Ridge go wrong?”

That was the question Hillary Clinton posed in March 1992, when she visited her old high school in suburban Park Ridge, Ill., with her husband, who was then running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Mrs. Clinton made her first forays into politics as a teenager in Park Ridge, as an ardent supporter of Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, the ultraconservative Republican nominee for president in 1964.

Republicans? Maybe. Conservatives? No.

Exactly. She has already won over the likes of Kristol, Will, Grahamnesty, Mittens and Beck (and maybe Krauthammer).

Does anyone in their right minds want the Clinton trash garbage cans back in the White House????

With her sandals, stringy hair, Coke-bottle glasses, and a black arm band worn in remembrance of the dead at Kent State, Hillary was gaining prominence in the Yale protest movement. She was seen leading demonstrations on the great and small issues of the day, many of them targets of opportunity, from the Vietnam War to the lack of tampons in the women’s rest rooms. One of Hillary’s professors at Yale was Thomas Emerson, known as “Tommy the Commie.” It was through Professor Emerson that Hillary had been introduced to defense attorney Charles Garry, who guided her involvement in the support and defense of the Black Panther Party.

Members of the Black Panther Party, including the infamous Bobby Seale were being tried in New Haven for murdering one of their own. The victim, Alex Rackley, had been suspected by the Panthers as a police informant. What was certain was that he had been brutally tortured, beaten, scalded, mutilated, and killed. The evidence against the Black Panthers was overwhelming—including an audio tape of part of the ‘trial’ to which Rackley was subjected. Two Panthers confessed to shooting Rackley as part of the plea bargain. But Bobby Seale fought extradition from California and became another target of opportunity, much more appealing than issues on feminine hygiene, and a rallying point for student radicals who idolized the Panthers as the leaders of a necessary black insurrection against the repressive white establishment.

That the Black Panthers could actually be guilty was an idea that had never occurred, or mattered, to their defenders, who were not at all fazed by a Black Panther Party that justified the rape of white women by black men as a political act of protest against white oppression, or that glorified the killing of police officers—or, in their words, ‘pigs’...

Yale was a natural forum, perhaps battleground, for the privilege white students who wanted to show their solidarity with the Black Panthers and the forces of revolution against the presumed racism of American law.

A protest, centered around a May Day strike, was set to occur on the Yale campus. Possible intimidated by the still-fresh images of Kent State and consistent with Yale’s supine reaction to virtually every radical student initiative of the era, Yale President Kingman Brewster issued a statement sympathizing with the students and the plight of the Black Panthers. Then he opened the college dorms to demonstrators, whether they were students or not, and allowed Black Panther lawyer Charles Garry to make his residence on campus.”

Hillary formed a close association with Garry, and manifested no misgivings by the violent rhetoric of his clients, who call for police assassinations and said, “If Bobby dies, Yale fries.” As part of her course work with Professor Emerson, Hillary attended the Black Panther trials and put her considerable leadership and organizational skills to work in organizing shifts of fellow students to monitor the trial and report alleged civil rights abuses.

Smart bar move.
Surround yourself with uglier women.
If you can find them.
Somehow, she did.

There is only ONE person more loathed and detested by Republicans, and he is currently living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

John McCain is stiff competition for third place though.

Is there any proof other than her word that she ever supported Goldwater?

She’s been making the claim for over 25 years but so far it seems to have no truth to it.

In 1964, Ms. Rodham would have turned 17 right before election day and was ineligible to vote for Goldwater or anyone else, although she could well have volunteered for his campaign. By the time she graduated from Wellesley, she had turned sharp left and never looked back.

"Surround yourself with uglier women."

I agree. She surpasses Helen of Troy in a beauty contest as long as she's standing next to those two beasts...

It’s the New York Times with another I would poke my eyes out before I vote for Trump article. The National Enquirer gets it right more often than the New York Times.

This article is unbelieveable.

They are trying to tell us that republicans will support Hillary, because she was a Goldwater girl, that she was raised with conservative politics of her father in suburban Chicago?? Really???

she’s been liberal/radical her whole adult life, but we are supposed to believe she has a conservative side because of her childhood, so Republicans should vote for her???

Does any of this make sense???

I can’t help but notice that the MSM always posts a picture of HiLIARy that’s from 20 years ago.
