Clintons Behind L.A. 'Hate Bush' Event

The invitations to the gathering labeled a "Hate Bush" strategy session by the Drudge Report may have come from Seinfeld producer-spouse Laurie David. But the agenda for the event held Tuesday night at Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton was scripted by Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Ostensibly, the session "was an attempt to acquaint the liberals with Americans Coming Together, an initiative to mobilize Democrats in 17 states that may prove crucial to the outcome of the 2004 presidential race," reported the Los Angeles Times in Wednesday editions.
The meeting was "also intended to build support for the Media Fund, an effort organized by Harold M. Ickes, a former key aide to President Clinton," the paper said.
But according to CNN, it was Hillary Clinton who dominated last night's ACT event, albeit in absentia.
"Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) won't be in attendance, but her name is 'written all over' the event," reported the network's "Morning Grind" on Tuesday. "HRC's HILLPAC 'is the force behind' Americans Coming Together."
ACT, whose official chief is EMILY's List president Ellen Malcom, was created to find loopholes in recently implemented campaign finance reform law, so Democratic Party fatcats like billionaire George Soros can pony up tens of millions of dollars to defeat President Bush next year.
The tip off to the Clintons involvement in the "Hate-Bush" gathering is the presence of Mr. Ickes, whose characterization by the Times as a former key Clinton aide tells only part of the story.
According to one-time Clinton insider Dick Morris, "Ickes is about as independent of Hillary as Bill is."
Writing in the New York Post last week, Morris described Ickes as Mrs. Clinton's "chief advisor."
"His photo graces her memoirs. He was her key operative in securing the Senate seat in New York. To pretend that anything he would do is independent of Hillary is like saying that the left hand is independent of the right hand."
Morris says the Ickes-Malcom-Soros effort is a bid by the former first couple to retain control of the Democratic Party's money machine at the expense of the party's probable 2004 nominee, Howard Dean.
Of course, should Mrs. Clinton decide to jump into the presidential race at the last minute, it wouldn't hurt that the former first couple already controlled a huge chunk of their party's campaign cash.

This explains why of all the Democreep candidates SOCKPUPPET WEASELY CLARK is the only one that is real chummy with the Hollywierd people. A 90 minute visit at Madonna's house to discuss politics (YUCK!). As if the American public give a dam what Hollywierd thinks. ONLY THE MEDIA CARES!

Only in America could Hillary have a PAC that is going to engineer her breakaway from the DNC (after Howard Dean fires all the Clintonistas) called Americans COMING Together.
I'm suprised she can say it with a straight face..

This ACT group is a problem because in addition to ACT there are approximately 5 or so other groups all formed along the same line. Their goal is to raise close to $ 500 million to use against Bush next year. Bush's $200 million is going to pale in comparison.

read my past...said it umpteen times the witch is running in 04 and here is why and how
1. she is up in 06 for senator and a defeat and she is
full on done in politics and she COULD lose
2. the Justice Dept holds the secrets of her past
she must get them , she must.
3. her weight, by 08 she will be 300 pounds
4. George Soros needs a trojan horse RIGHT NOW
5. France and the euro cannot fail regardless
the freepercussions to the dollar.
6. lastly, terrorism must WIN for her ilk to
have ved of universal intervention universally
and therefore usurp the viled constitution.
7. Her move is the last day or action possible
as to avoid answering questions with JUST ENUF time
for a Katie, Chrissy Matthews or Brokaw bye bye
interview.....and a hella lot of free C-Span(ing for dems)
stuff of course.

"American's Coming Together." Sounds more like a big sex orgy than a political gathering.

Eddie Hill on Fox and Friends today said she did not see any difference in what the right did to Clinton. The girl is as dumb as a stump.

Rush said meeting with JLo too - may have been kidding. But values aside - given the average IQ and judgment of the Hollyweirdos why would anyone think their opinions on politics, policy etc. would have any value at all?

Could be and I hope you are right but since they don't fall under CFR and are organized as non-profits, the disclosure of donors is not required. That's why they come up with warm and fuzzy names and no one need know their funding sources.
This is why W is out there fundraising like crazy as he's got to have plenty of ammo to counteract these guys. They are anonymous and loaded with money. It's gonna be ugly.
