Hillary, Terrorism and the FALN

During the April 16 Democratic debate in Philadelphia, moderator George Stephanopoulos asked Barack Obama about his relationship to William Ayers, the unrepentant member of the Weather Underground who had participated in several bombings of government facilities back in 1970s.

Since that time, Ayers had become active in leftist circles in Chicago. In 2001, Ayers bragged, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

At the debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton condemned Obama's association with Ayers, adding that in those bombings "people died." "So it is--I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about," said Clinton.

There is a glaring bit of hypocrisy in Clinton's dismay. In 1999, her husband offered pardons to 16 unrepentant members of a fringe Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the FALN (Armed Forces of National Liberation), who were based in the U.S., and the Macheteros (machete-wielders), the FALN's island-based branch..

During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50.

Despite the Clintons' repeated denials, there is evidence that the pardons were offered to the terrorists with Hillary Clinton's full knowledge.

With all discussions pointed at Obama and his many shortcomings, Hillary and Bill’s massive corrupt and evil doings over their 30 years in politics are just ignored.

Just what she and Bill needed to get back into the WH—help from conservatives, including many here on Free Republic. Unthinkable, but she will be the nominee and probably the president, thanks in large part to the misdirection of conservative ire onto Obama—masterfully engineered by the evil Clinton camp, who planned on the conservatives taking the race bait that Hildabeast so effortlessly chummed out.

Nauseating.

Ping to an excellent, in-depth article showing how the Clintons cynically pardoned terror bombers for political gain.

When I was in the Air Force, the FALN posed a direct terrorist threat to us having a large operation just a few miles away from our base. The Reagan Justice Department threw their sorry carcases in jail where they belonged. One more reason why I despise the Clintons. I guess we are known by the company we keep.

Thanks for the link. That was the best presentation I have seen on the FALN and it’s vile acts.

Once again, the Clintons are revealed in their craven nature.

How can any estadista support the likes of terrorist-enablers such as Clinton and Obama?

[Libertina]

Hey there IT!

[Interesting Times]

Hey, stranger. Glad to see you’re still around.

Thanks for the link. That was the best presentation I have seen on the FALN and it’s vile acts.

I've worked with Ron Kolb on various projects, and he's a top-notch researcher and writer. In 2004, Ron developed information showing that the VVAW's Scott Camil first presented his "let's kill some Senators" plan to the group more than six months earlier than was generally known. This was important because it showed that John Kerry was willing to work closely with Camil (even inviting him to join Kerry on the Dick Cavett Show) *after* Camil had offered to assassinate elected officials.

Thanks for the ping!

[DoughtyOne]

Wonderful. Just when I thought Kerry had gone about as low as I thought he could. That’s disgusting.

Thanks.

Take care.

BTW, I agree that this guy has done some admirable investigating. I do wonder if he is in fear of reprisal.

Thanks for the ping. I don’t understand what gain the Clintons got by those pardons. Did most Puerto Rican voters approve?

[Interesting Times]

Did most Puerto Rican voters approve?

It appears the Clintons believed they would. I haven't seen exit polling or other data to confirm that, however.

bump!
