Bill Clinton: Hillary Won’t Be 'Swift Boated'
Newsmax.com ^ | 26 June 07 | NewsMax

Posted on 06/26/2007 2:36:48 PM PDT by stm

Bill Clinton has sent out a mass e-mail to supporters seeking donations to Hillary’s presidential campaign and vowing that she won’t tolerate "swift boat” tactics against her.

"I hope you enjoyed the ‘Sopranos’ spoof Hillary and I did last week,” the former president begins. "Campaigns should be fun, but they are also serious business – especially now . . .

"Hillary can be a great president, but she needs your support to win. And she needs it now as we come down to the wire in the last critical days of this quarter.”

Calling Hillary "the best candidate for president, Bill goes on to say: "She’s also the best candidate to beat the Republican machine. You know Hillary will never let a swift boat-style attack go unanswered.”

The reference, of course, is to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and their widely publicized criticism of 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry and his Vietnam War experiences, which Kerry supporters charged was politically motivated. Kerry was slow to respond to the group’s allegations.

Clinton continues: "When I met her more than 35 years ago, I thought Hillary had the best combination of mind and heart I’d ever seen – and I still do. But it’s going to take every dollar to make sure that Americans get to know the real Hillary, like I do.”

He concludes: "Hillary needs your help today to bring change to America . . . Help put Hillary in the White House. Together, we can make it happen.”

I don't think there's room at Ft. Marcy Park for all of the people they'll have to kill to cover her butt!

This means that hillary will not ALLOW the facts to become known?

THAT’s why they’re working to kill talk radio and reign in the Internet.

Do you mean she’s gonna claim to have had secret missions in Cambodia and Laos.... and to have earned a ton of combat awards?

Maybe she’ll even do the “Reporting for Duty” thing at the convention.

If you give $1000, will she hit you in the head with a overhand ashtray shot?

I guess that being “swift-boated” is not as much fun as being “lewinskied”.

She won’t be swiftboated?

She should be thrown over the side.

If she gets coronated, it will go back to Rotham.

Using the middle names in honor of our late main adversary.

Hillary won't be bothered by swiftboating. She practices pre-emptive swiftboating herself...Imus being the first casualty. Her minions are busy recording, documenting and laying IED's for her foes as we speak.



Tony Soprano's a piker next to Hillary.

How is Clinton going to make sure we can't speak our truth?

Because the MSM has its orders, and the only place such truths will be seen is on here.

Liberals have always had the MSM in their pocket - and Clinton knows that - so that's NOT what he's talking about. I can assure you, the NYT's will give a pass to Hillary - for anything and everything. In an unrelated subject, do you know how old Tonk was when he died?
