If that's what WND wants...they need to join the democrats.
To quote Morton Blackwell, "you can't beat a plan with no plan."
THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES by Paul Harvey
Conveniently Forgotten Facts Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was suspected of disloyalty.
Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn. Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers.
In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the killers was still in jail.
The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State College. Isn't that something? As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean! Only in America!
Erica Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board.
How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy?
Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial.
One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee.
Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton.
O.K., so who was the other Panther defender?
Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean?
No, neither! The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time. She is now known as the "smartest woman in the world" (and may well become the next president of the United States). She is none other than the Democratic senator from the State of New York----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.
And now, as Paul Harvey said; You know "the rest of the story".
I've always believed that the Democrats could put themselves in a stronger position, politically, if they would simply come out in favor of a ban on partial-birth abortion, and align themselves with the position taken by about three-quarters of Americans. The fact they demogogue on the PBA issue indicates how beholden the Democrats are to the crazed left.
Please stop with this CRAP!!! As much as I dislike the Clintons, it does no one any good spreading these stupid stories.

Sorry, you are correct. I got froma normally good source.
I'm sorry, but I trust Snopes over your source. No offense.
No offense taken, but the owners of snopes are admitted liberals. Some times it shows in what they write on, particularly things that are about politics.
Snopes is OK in debunking e-mail virus hoaxes, but thats as far as I trust them.
This is how the "Castrioti" (thanks for the new word RUSH!) writes about Great Leaders like President Bush. "OUR" President wears attacks like these as a badge of honor! He knows it is the sign that they hate his "Manliness" (thanks again Rush!).
LLS
hahaha - best line of the day
Liberals or not, the "facts" of this story are easy enough to dispatch. If there is a shred of truth in the story, don't surround it by a bunch of easily disproved lies. It makes us look like kooks and does not help us when the truth really IS on our side. I apologize, but this sort of thing really irritates me.
"First off, I disagree with your commentary. All I did was provide another source to Snopes, so you don't like them fine. I find truthorfiction.com much more balanced when it comes to things that are political in nature."
That's fine. Go to whoever you feel has the best information. My point is that even truthorfiction.com disputes much of what this story purports. It was clearly written by a person with an axe to grind and should not be believed hook, line and sinker. These email hoaxes may sound good to the susceptible, but we need to fight with facts, not muddy the waters with half-truths.
A lot of my friends from NY (where I'm from) think hating President Bush is a religous tenet!
Even then some of them are still my friends... I turned around. I'll turn them around too!
Ridiculous! Im tired of everyone hating Bush.
Noone should be like Cliton... a stuck-up person that did nothing
