Conveniently Forgotten Facts Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named... Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was suspected of disloyalty.
Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head.
Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 2 miles north of New Haven, Conn.
Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers. In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard, and became good friends with none other than Al Gore.
He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State College. Isn't that something?
As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head, and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean! Only in America!
Erica Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board.
How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers.
These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panters during their trial.
One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board.
He is now head of the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton.
O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean?
No, neither!
The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time.
She is now known as The "smartest woman in the world."
She is none other than the Democratic senator from the State of New York----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.
And now, as Paul Harvey said; You know "the rest of da story"!!
Say, would you eat a peanut butter sandwich with only small bits of mouse crap in it?
Rataoskr is right to not accuse without wanting sources. I wonder how many it will take to prove that this woman was not only an avid supporter of murderers, but has done far worse in her pathetic efforts to attain power.
Of course she has. But this story isn't true as written.
That may not matter to you, but it matters quite a lot to me.
First, welcome aboard to all newcomers!
I suppose my frustration is with the fact that this oft repeated story seems to be embraced by those that already can't stand hitlery, but has done nothing to sway anyone else.
As has been stated by other posters, there are elements of this story that have been called into question. Then, there is the letter that bill wrote to LTC Holmes in the '60's which is well documented and irrefutable. It was a known fact at the time of the '92 election, and deemed irrelevant. If there is a story that needs to be rehashed, that's the one, in light of current events.
The clinton's have not been held accountable for ANYTHING that has been substantiated, even with the inclusion of DNA evidence! While I'm not one to, "just move on," I do believe there are better ways of dismantling her apparati than focusing on a 30+ year old story that is too complex for her aparatchiks to follow.
(BTW, I've now bumped this article TWICE!)
Sooo... Precisely which parts of the post do you disagree with?
I posted it right here on FR, and asked the investigative staff of FR ( all FReepers ) if there was any truth to it.
That doesn't mean there isn't a grain of truth to it, though, since we all know that Hillary was involved in all sorts of radical militant movements during the 60's.
A list of Hillary's accomplishment.
