Hillary Clinton has already drawn parallels between the "tragedy" in New York City --- those victims --- and how she felt about the public's reaction to her health care plans; she, then, feeling that she was the "victim" and accusing her opponents of "terror" [a.k.a. "conservative talk-radio," in her opinion].
That interview with her, done Sept. 25, 2001, is posted somewhere here at Free Republic, but I could not locate it.

Former first lady, now New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton says she knows what it's like to be the victim of the kind of maniacal hatred that cost up to 7,000 of her constituents their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks on Manhattan's Twin Towers."Oh, I am well aware that it is out there," Mrs. Clinton said, of the "murderous anger" that drove Osama bin Laden to conspire to turn two commercial jetliners into kamikaze dive-bombers and plow them into the World Trade Center.
In an outrageously bizarre attempt to coopt the Twin Tower tragedy for her own political ends, Mrs. Clinton explained to the New Yorker magazine:
"One of the most difficult experiences that I personally had in the White House was during the health-care debate, being the object of extraordinary rage.
"I remember being in Seattle. I was there to make a speech about health care. This was probably August of '94. Radio talk-show hosts had urged their listeners to come out and yell and scream and carry on and prevent people from hearing me speak."
Sen. Clinton told the New Yorker the experience gave her a "firsthand look" at what it's like to confront terrorism head-on.
"There were threats that were coming in, and certain people didn't want me to speak, and they started taking weapons off people, and arresting people. I've had firsthand looks at this unreasoning anger and hatred that is focused on an individual you don't know, a cause that you despise ó whatever motivates people."
Coming next from Sen. Clinton: How Osama bin Laden modeled his al Qaeda terrorist network after the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
That pretty much says it all.
As for hitlery...........Wellllll, if her opposition acts like bin larder, is it because that's how he has treated her? She's such a puke.
pro-victimhood is a feature of all of the anti-gun special interest groups, not just the ones mentioned here. Every organization that supports gun control apparently wants its members to be helpless, terrified and totally dependent on someone else to control every aspect of their lives. It doesn't matter whether it's a religious, racial, ethnic, political, social, or charitable group. From Handgun Control, Inc. to the Anti- Defamation League to the Million Mom March, they all want you to live in fear. In this scheme, soccer moms are "victims" just as much as are inner-city minorities.Journalists claim that their job is to tell the "objective" truth. But the obviouslly they cannot and do not tell ALL of the truth; most of it would be boring and journalism is an entertainment. The least boring part of the truth is the scariest part it. Hence,
"If it bleeds, it leads." It is scarcely to be expected that someone whose business it is to propagandize in favor of fear would eagerly publicize the efficacy of self-defense . . .
