"It's interesting that you should mention this. I have been pondering, given that Kerry may be forced off the presidential ballot, if Hitlery would be less likely or more likely to stage a bloodbath of Americans?"


She was at the 1968 convention in Chicago, and there is nothing I would put past this woman.

She was at the 1968 convention in Chicago, and there is nothing I would put past this woman.

Was she involved wiht the violence, the black panthers or was she working "with" Kennedy? Fill us in...

Here is an excerpt from an article in Insight Magazine

Well, according to Hillary Clinton biographer Joyce Milton, Hillary Rodham organized the monitoring of the Panther trial at the behest of "one of her professors, Thomas Emerson, affectionately known as `Tommie the Commie.'" At the trial she worked closely with Panther lawyer Charles Garry, identified under oath as a member of the Communist Party, or CPUSA, who in turn worked with Robert Treuhaft, longtime attorney for the CPUSA and a frequent defender of the Panthers in their ongoing violent confrontations with authorities.

Treuhaft and his wife, celebrity writer Jessica Mitford, were by Mitford's sworn account hard-line Stalinist communists. In their eyes, for example, the Hungarian freedom fighters who faced Soviet tanks armed only with rocks were "fascist traitors." The House Committee on Un-American Activities listed Treuhaft as one of the most "dangerously subversive" lawyers in the country. Hillary biographer David Brock quotes a historian's assessment of Treuhaft as "a man who dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party and the KGB."

As an established radical student leader dating to her days at Wellesley College, with additional credentials and connections developed in the Panther episode and other protests at Yale, Hillary won an internship with Treuhaft in Berkeley, Calif., the nerve center of the revolutionary left, where Treuhaft was known fondly as "The Red Lawyer." Hillary hasn't written or spoken publicly of her experiences while working with Treuhaft, but the years have demonstrated valuable connections made during that time. Treuhaft's trusted associate in cases involving the Panthers at the time was Jack Palladino, who ran an investigative agency in partnership with his wife, former Students for a Democratic Society organizer Sandra Sutherland. Palladino, known as "The People's Detective," surfaces again in the Clinton story when he was called upon to silence "bimbo eruptions" in the early days of presidential campaigning.

Insight reviewed biographies of Hillary Clinton by Milton, Brock and Roger Morris for this story and lengthy selections from such other biographies as Barbara Olson's Hell to Pay. Together, relying on primary and other firsthand sources, they unquestionably back Horowitz's contention that Hillary was a campus leader during the Panther protests. She was, by standards of those chaotic and violent times, a moderate voice compared with such fanatics as Yippie leader Jerry Rubin, who exhorted Yale students to "kill your parents," but she played a prominent activist role. When the dust settled, she was coeditor of a commemorative issue of Yale Review celebrating the Panthers and laced with cartoons of police officers depicted as pigs, including one who was decapitated and dismembered.
