Hillary Clinton’s campaign ads here in Pennsylvania are focusing significantly on the slogan, ‘The purpose of my life has been standing up for people who weren’t getting a fair shake.’
I’d like to take a look at just three, of countless, people Hillary Clinton has ‘stood up for’ and then ask the readers here whether they would want to be the recipient of Hillary’s particular brand of altruism:
Juanita Broaddrick, who very credibly claims she was raped in 1979 by Ms. Clinton’s husband -- and then advised to ‘put some ice on it’ -- stated the following during an interview with Sean Hannity, in which Ms. Broaddrick described what occurred at a fund-raiser that took place just two weeks after the rape:
She made her way, just as quick as she could, to me.
I got nauseous when she came over to me. She came over to me, took ahold of my hand, and said, ‘I’ve heard so much about you, and I’ve been dying to me you. I just want you to know how much Bill and I appreciate what you do for him.’
I said, ‘Thank you,’ and I started to turn and walk away. This little soft-spoken – pardon me for the phrase -- dowdy woman, who seemed very unassertive, took ahold of my hand and squeezed it and said, ‘Do you understand? Everything that you do.’
I could have passed out at that moment. I got my hand from hers and I left … I mean cold chills went up my spine. That was the first time I became afraid of that woman.
[Hannity: You interpret that to mean that she knew about the incident?]
I certainly do. And she was saying ‘Thank you for keeping quiet.’
I perceive Juanita Broaddrick to be a woman who hasn’t been given a fair shake and I would give anything to be able to ask Ms. Clinton whether her treatment of Ms. Broaddrick should be broadly defined as ‘standing up for’ such people.
Billy Dale had worked in the White House Travel Office for three decades. He had served eight presidents in that capacity. But Hillary Clinton wanted to replace Dale and his staff with a group of political cronies who had donated to the Clinton campaign, and who had provided a million dollars in deferred travel expenses for the campaign, thus allowing that money to be used to foot other campaign expenses.
So Hillary had Dale fired. Just three months after her husband took office, Dale and all of the other employees of the Travel Office were given one hour's notice to pack up their belongings, and they were escorted from the White House grounds in a windowless van. Their replacements, the Clinton cronies, were hired without the customary receiving of competitive bids.
Ms. Clinton then spearheaded an effort to have Billy Dale and the rest of the Travel Office staff accused of, and prosecuted for, improper financial practices during their employment in the Travel Office. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service was told to investigate Mr. Dale’s personal finances. Yet, despite Hillary’s obsessive efforts to defame a man whose record was without blemish, and who was well thought of by all who knew and worked with him, all charges against Dale and the other Travel Office workers were eventually determined to be groundless and were dismissed.
I perceive Billy Dale to be a man who hasn’t been given a fair shake and I would give anything to be able to ask Ms. Clinton whether her treatment of Mr. Dale should be broadly defined as ‘standing up for’ such people.
Back in 1974, Hillary Clinton attempted to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the Watergate investigation. You see, if Nixon had enjoyed the benefit of counsel, then E. Howard Hunt (who coincidentally knew a great deal about crimes committed during the Kennedy administration -- crimes that would have made Watergate look like a walk in the park) could have undergone cross-examination. Hillary and her ilk wanted to prevent such cross-examination, at any cost – even the Constitutional rights of a sitting president.
In order to garner enough votes on the House Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny Nixon the right to counsel, Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief. And in order to disguise her brief as factual, she removed all files that would have revealed the lies contained in her brief. She had them taken to her office, which was not accessible to the public.
When the investigation ended, Jerry Zeifman, who was then chief of staff of the Judiciary Committee, fired Hillary from her position on the committee staff as a result of her attempts to defraud and deceive, and, to this day, he asserts that, if Hillary had submitted her deceptive, baseless and fraudulent brief to a judge, she would have run the real risk of facing disbarment proceedings.
No matter one’s feeling about Nixon, the man, I perceive him to be a man who was judged by a different yardstick than that used to judge others, before or since. In that way, he hasn’t been given a fair shake. And I would give anything to be able to ask Ms. Clinton whether her treatment of Mr. Nixon should be broadly defined as ‘standing up for’ such people.
I also suspect that the waitresses she has stiffed, the campaign workers whose health insurance premiums she has neglected to pay on time, the White House staff who were instructed never to look her in the eye when they passed her in the hallways, and countless other ‘little people’ with whom Hillary has crossed paths during her saintly life of devotion to bettering the lives of ‘the underdog’ might also take issue with the portrait that her campaign advertisements paint of Saint Hillary.
In an unprecedented occurrence, more than one hundred thousand Pennsylvania republicans have changed their registrations to democrat for the upcoming primary election on April 22nd. It will be interesting to see for which of the democrat candidates these 'temporary democrats' cast their ballots. Both candidates are Marxists. Both are pathological liars. And both are megalomaniacal, self-serving ideologues in humanitarian clothing.
Talk about a rock and a hard place.

Allegiance and Duty Betrayed
Ping for comment or additions.
Where’s the obligatory BARF alert?
Very well thought out and presented. I love it when people go straight to the heart of the Left’s hypocrisy. As always, you’ve done it beautifully.
I no longer believe there is a thing as “justice”. She Who Must Not Be Named, her rapist common-law husband, and her Muslim body-servant will return to the White House next year. And there’s nothing any of us can do about it.
They will remain, the most vile and disgusting political couple in the history of this nation.
The person Hillary has helped the most....herself, at the detriment of others.
She’s “fighting for America’s middle class?” I’d say she’s fighting to seize the levers of power, and the first thing she’ll do if she succeeds is to destroy the Kulaks.
Bump for later, and thanks for the ping!!!!!
The day that I get on my knees to ask Saint Hillary for help will be the same day that you roll out your rug and pray to a frozen goat named Mohammed. It just ain’t going to happen, not in this life it won’t!
Let me clarify, where’s the barf alert on “Saint Hillary”
Sorry for that.
Thank, EV. :)
I just wish you'd stop beating around the bush and speak your mind, B4.

'Justice' is meted out arbitrarily these days -- by both those in the judiciary, and those in the other two branches of government, in the form of rulings from the bench and laws that favor one group at the expense of another -- depending on the whim of the elite. It no longer has anything to do with truth or genuine 'fairness'.

There’s not a word with which I disagree. Well said.
Bears repeating.

She is BEGGING FOR VOTES.
She is BEGGING BECAUSE SHE IS LOSING.
She’ll say and do anything. She is desperate. SHE is keeping her campaign alive. If Corzine thought she could win he NEVER would have come out and said what he did yesterday about the possibility of switching his vote.
Excellent article Joanie, funny isn’t it, this story about Hillery! and the Nixon impeachment had to have been available before this. I get the feeling we are seeing Obamaa playing hard ball to hillery!’a racist pitch
I talked to my dear cousin last night, she is a rabid yellow dog democrat, a true Hillery! supporter, she told me that if Obama gets the nomination she will vote McCain.
I told her that there was no difference between Obama and Herself so it didn’t make any difference which she voted for
and that McCain was practically a democrat too.
We both agreed we haven’t seen an election cycle like this one in our lives.
Another millionaire like Obama that is fighting for the disenfranchised, she truely is a saint!
HYPOCRACY AND STUPIDITY, HAND IN HAND!
