Clinton Dons a 1960s-Era Anti-War Cloak

WELLESLEY, Mass. — Senator Clinton is describing her opposition to the war in Iraq as an extension of Eugene McCarthy's position in the 1960s movement against the war in Vietnam.

Mrs. Clinton's comments came at an energy-charged rally yesterday at her alma mater, Wellesley College. Her visit, the ostensible purpose of which was to announce a new Web site aimed at younger voters, hillblazers.com, created palpable excitement on campus. Hundreds of students lined up amid Wellesley's autumnal splendor for a chance to hear the speech of the 1969 graduate and then moved and bopped to the strands of Smash Mouth's "I'm a Believer" and the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" as they awaited her appearance. A loud "wooo" had followed the exhortation of a male voice suggesting that attendees "get excited" as they entered. The friendly homecoming represented a sharp contrast from Tuesday's MSNBC debate in Philadelphia, when Mrs. Clinton found herself under attack from Senator Obama and Senator Edwards. She credited the school with preparing her "to compete in the all boys club of presidential politics."

In a personal speech, Mrs. Clinton made reference to her own biography, reminding students she was once a student at the college during a time of war.(continued)

Rodham attended the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami, where she decided to leave the Republican Party for good; she was upset over how Richard Nixon’s campaign had portrayed Rockefeller and what Rodham perceived as the “veiled” racist messages of the convention.[20]

I just had to go look at footnote "20" in Wikipedia to see what Nixon said that was so "racist".

Turns out it's a cite of Clinton's own quote (long after 1968) on her "perception" of the Republican convention:

At the party’s convention in Miami, she met Frank Sinatra, shared an elevator with John Wayne and decided to leave the Republican Party for good. “She was particularly furious at how she felt Rockefeller had been trashed by the Nixon people,” Mr. Schechter said.

“I’m done with this, absolutely,” Mrs. Clinton recalled thinking upon hearing Mr. Nixon’s acceptance speech. She characterized the Republicanism of her youth as one of fiscal conservatism and social moderation, and at odds with what she viewed as the intolerance of Miami.

“All of a sudden you get all these veiled messages, frankly, that were racist,” Mrs. Clinton said of the convention. “I may not have been able to explain it, but I could feel it.”

So even back then a Clinton was parsing her words and tap dancing. This is, of course, if you believe this was her mindset 40 years ago and not just made-up around the year 2000.

“reminding students she was once a student at the college during a time of war.”

So that qualifies her to be a wartime President?

I’ve heard women complain how Hillary won’t even walk across the stage on Letterman. She always appears already sitting down, unlike most other guests who have to walk.

(If you didn’t guess why- they resent that a supposed feminist doesn’t have the self-confidence to show her big rear-end in public, like normal women have to do.)

Wasn’t she a Goldwater Girl?? Anyway, anything she wore in the 60’s wouldn’t fit her fat ass today.

Wasn’t she a Goldwater Girl??

With quotes like the following, there's no question what she is today:

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.”

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, for the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."

"We can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people.""

"We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground."

"I certainly think the free market has failed."

"I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector [oil] in the entire economy, that they are being watched."

"What I want to do is take those profits and apply them to alternative energy."

"I have a million ideas. The country can't afford them all."

Karl Marx or Frederick Engels said none of these things; Hillary Clinton said them all.

No Hillary Clinton

This scumbag voted to AUTHORIZE the Iraq War and tried to sound tough for the first year or more of the war, so to pander so blatantly to the permanent antiwar fanatics is especially contemptible. HER vote supported putting US troops into harm’s way, and now she is trying to rewrite history and pretend that she is a dedicated peacenik at heart.

Typical lying, pandering Demagogue.
