Hillary Clinton's Radical Summer A Season of Love and Leftists

BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun November 26, 2007 URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/66933

OAKLAND, Calif. — In a life marked largely by political caution, one entry on Senator Clinton's résumé stands out: her clerkship in 1971 at one of America's most radical law firms, Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein.

One partner at the firm, Doris Walker, was a Communist Party member at the time. Another partner, Robert Treuhaft, had left the party in 1958, several years after being called before the House Un-American Activities Committee and labeled as one of America's most "dangerously subversive" lawyers. The Oakland-based firm was renowned for taking clients others rejected as too controversial, including Communists, draft resisters, and members of the African-American militant group known as the Black Panthers.

To this day, Mrs. Clinton's decision to work at the unabashedly left-wing firm is surprising, even shocking, to some of her former colleagues there and to those supporting her bid for the presidency. To the former first lady's enemies and political opponents, her summer at the Treuhaft firm is yet another indication that radical ideology lurks beneath the patina of moderation she has adopted in public life.

The more I see photos of the two the more I can’t help but imagine Hildabeast in a plaid flannel shirt and Doc Martins.

How many of those 1962 goals have been achieved. Not a question.

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

Next, you'll tell me that there will be a bunch of loud-mouths on Free Republic who attack God as Creator, undermine Christianity, and support the left's forced, secular humanistic, atheist version of Big Government Schools against the wishes of the parents. (I wish it were not true)

You’re just being reactionary ;)

Next time someone calls you reactionary, point out they just mis-spelled righteous indignation...

This NY Sun article is the story of how the twig was bent.

Significant quote:
"'I just don't think she wanted to have
the charge of being an intern at a Communist law firm,'
says a California historian who spoke with Clinton."

Hillary Rodham Clinton tips her world upside down:

"As Mrs. Clinton left the Treuhaft firm in 1971, one of its partners was
gearing up for the defense of a Communist and black revolutionary, Angela
Davis, against murder, kidnapping and conspiracy charges stemming from a
1970 shootout that left a California judge dead." -- NY Sun, November 26, 2007

This is a much more significant part of her vast “experience” than being the wife of an Arkansas governor.

What about the connection between this law office and her defending a black panther in a murder trial? I’m thinking there’s more here than is being told...

LOL, I was about to post this just for the picture. You should see the thesis she wrote.
