Hillary Receives (Ultra-leftist) German Media Prize
NewsMax ^ | 2/13/05 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 02/13/2005 5:37:29 PM PST by wagglebee

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton received Sunday the German Media Prize for 2004, AFP reported.

"Hillary Clinton is a model politician for millions of women around the world" who "represents in an exemplary way women's rights", the jury for the prize said. Senator Clinton, who participated Saturday and Sunday in the International Security conference in Munich, emphasised the importance of the role of NATO in trans-Atlantic relations.

Since its inception in 1992 the German Media Prize has tapped left wing political figures.

Hillary will join other winners, including husband Bill, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Queen Silvia of Sweden, German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

I'm not really familiar with Queen Silvia of Sweden, but other than that it sounds like a "Who's Who" of corrupt leftist thieves.

I think it should be called the "Mein Kampf" Media Prize.

Another self-congratulating ceremony to validate a liberal world view that couldn't hold it's own in a free marketplace of ideas. It's got to be promoted and foisted upon society by the media, lefty academia, and activist judges. What a circle jerk!

Hmmm, that Hillary Clinton is QUITE the international figure. I'm definitely not thinking of her as someone with no foreign policy experience after she received such a prestigious award! /cough

It figures. In Germany, even the so-called right wing parties like to blame America for everything. Fox reports there's a group crying "Oh boo-hoo, the Americans bombed the hell out of Dresden -- see, we were victims, too."

BILL CLINTON enters a hospital last September with chest pains on the day President BUSH declares our 21st Century...

..'The LIBERTY Century'..

...in his Republican Convention Acceptance Speech in New York City.

HILLARY CLINTON has a faint the day after the women of Iraq freely vote for the very first time, compliments of President BUSH.

Thought so.

What I always found most interesting was the "timing" of Clinton's announcements of his heart condition.

Thursday, September 2, 2004: (Afternoon) Clinton has chest pains and goes to the hospital where he is told there is a strong possibility he will need bypass surgery. (Night) President Bush accepts the GOP nomination. Notice that for the first time in his life, Clinton POSTPONES extremely sympathetic media coverage, thus allowing Bush to have the full media spotlight while he accepts his nomination. (Remember that a month before, Clinton scheduled a highly-publicized book signing in Boston during the DNC convention even though Kerry campaign aids asked him not to steal the spotlight in this way.)

Friday, September 3, 2004: Clinton announces that he is having bypass surgery and had known since the day before that it was probable. In doing this, Clinton completely steals the national media "stage" and effectively mutes any Kerry/Edwards "response" to Bush's speech.

Saturday/Sunday, September 4 - 5, 2004: Clinton speaks by phone with Kerry and "suggests" that Kerry's campaign is in a freefall and that he needs to replace Marybeth Cahill with James Carville, Paul Begala and Joe Lockhart (all loyal to Clinton and Clinton alone). Later, news of this "coup" is leaked to the New York Times. As only a few people knew of this and because this event had such a negative impact on morale at the Kerry campaign, the only logical conclusion is that the news was leaked by Clinton or the Clintonistas to the NYT (a paper which is far more loyal to Clinton than it is to anyone else).

Conclusion, even while facing possible death, Bill Clinton was subtly helping Bush while harming Kerry. The fact that the Democrats have any fondness for the Clintons will always be a mystery to me.

September 2, 2004 =

Advance Copies of President BUSH's 'The LIBERTY Century' Speech are released to the Public in the afternoon and CLINTON gets his Chest Pains.

January 30, 2005 =

The Women of Iraq freely vote and the Woman who pines most to be the 1st American Woman President, on the backs of women voters, faints the very next morning.

Both CLINTONS were against Freedom for Vietnam long ago and were on the side of our terrorist enemy HO CHI MINH who was shooting American Soldiers fighting for Freedom there.

Nothing has changed since...
even with our own Freedom...
now directly at stake...
here at home...
in a new time of war.
