Hillary Snubbed World Trade Center Victims

New York Senator Hillary Clinton has reportedly refused to attend a single funeral or memorial service for any of the victims of the World Trade Center disaster unless it was a major media event.

"We sent both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Chuck Schumer letters asking them which services they attended and which families they visited," Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly reported late Tuesday.

Sen. Clinton's office ignored FNC's letter and repeated phone calls, "most likely," said O'Reilly, "because the only events we know she attended were three highly publicized memorial services."

In marked contrast to Clinton's stonewalling, Sen. Schumer's office said they had attended 10 services and promised to provide a list of each one. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Gov. George Pataki have attended hundreds of funerals for WTC victims.

Anthony Gardener, who lost his brother Harvey in the World Trade Center and has become an advocate for the victims of the disaster, told FNC that he contacted Clinton's New York office twice but got no response.

"I invited her to come and be on our board of advisers to help us with the nonprofit support group that we created, WTC United Family Group," Gardener told O'Reilly. "I never had any feedback from her office, not even an assistant to an assistant or anyone."

Gardener said that he knew getting Mrs. Clinton to help would be "a far-fetched thing. [But] I just thought she might be eager to help."

Associated Press reporter Beth Harpaz, author of the Hillary 2000 campaign chronicle "The Girls on the Van," said that Mrs. Clinton snubbed WTC victims because they didn't vote for her.

"Her core supporters and the main victim groups of 9/11 are pretty much two distinct groups," Harpaz told O'Reilly. "You know, we have a lot of male-dominated professions here, firefighters, cops, Wall Street, a lot of suburbanites, a lot of political conservatives."

Harpaz also suggested that Mrs. Clinton couldn't attend many funerals because "she's been busy in Washington" and she also feared being booed again, as she was at an Oct. 20 concert for WTC victims.

Visibly angered, the Fox host shot back:

"If I were the senator of New York, I would have tried to attend as many of those funerals and memorial services as I could. And if they booed me, they booed me. I'd get down on my knees and say a prayer for that dead person and then I would go and leave."

Three high-profile events Mrs. Clinton attended were a memorial service at Yankee Stadium a week after the attacks, a similar event at Ground Zero in early October, and the funeral for New York City Fire Department Chaplain Father Mychal Judge, where she delivered the eulogy. All three services were televised.

It seems to not have sunk in with the people yet. Hillary is Royalty and she does NOT mix it up with the commoners, dead or alive. Only when there are large crowds of people more, or as, important as herself and she HAS to show up to maintain status quo and, of course, all major networks have camera crews in attendance so she can perform for her dinner. She is a disgusting shameless phony at her very best.

[mombonn]

I've never heard a word about her or the stain donating a dime. They may have (I doubt it), but I haven't heard anything.

IF they had, believe me, it would have been covered OVER AND OVER AND OVER again by the sychophant press.

I'm not Jewish, but I am living on Staten Island. Have you ever looked at the Breakdown of H. Clinton's victory? If upstate had done their usual she never would have won. So please don’t blame it on the most conservative county in New York City.
Richmond County went 75,533 Rick Lazio to 54,939 Hillary Clinton.
Oneida Went 49,048 Lazio to 39,354 Clinton.

Some percentages:
Staten Island 58% Lazio - 42% Clinton.
Oneida 55% Lazio - 45% Clinton.

I would really like an apology.

BTW Here is a LINK to the official tally by the State of NY. It is a PDF Document that requires Adobe.

"Queen Hillary" does not mix with the unwashed heathen.

"Mrs. Clinton snubbed WTC victims because they didn't vote for her. But now that they're dead they will. "

Excellent point! LOL!

Hillary no hypocrite, she supported Willy in his release of terrorist. She met with groups that were connected to and supported the terrorist groups that attacked this country. She also took money from them. Did she ever turn over all the money she got from those groups? checks and cash. Hillary is not a New Yorker, she come to NY for her photo ops and does what Clinton and the Dems have been doing all along. When disaster strikes, it party time. Tornados, they went for the photo op, left and went straight to a drunken fund raiser. They party all during the Iraqian crises, they party all thru the Kosovo slaughter. The Clinton home in NY and the PHONY book deals were just away of covering up their enormous amont of wealth they have accumalated while in the white house. As long as Hillary continues to stop in for a fund raiser and photo op she is considered a New Yorker. Our New York Senate seat was hyjacked by the very people that support terrorist. Hillary is part of the power grab for the Senate. If more people would have paid more attention to Rick Lazio and listen to what he had to say about Hitlary and her connections with these terorist groups perhaps the attacks on this country could have been prevented. What were the terrorist buying and why was it so important to get HItlary elected to the Senate? WHERE ARE NEW YORK BALLOTS AND WHY WON'T ANYONE DEMADE A REVIEW OF THE BALLOTS? I'D BE WILLING TO BET THERE ISN'T A BALLOT AROUND. NEW YORKERS SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE A NEW YORK RESIDENT FOR A SENATOR. WHY ARE WE DENIED THE RIGHT TO A NEW YORKER FOR A NEW YORK SENATE SEAT.

To # 8:

Thanks for the post. It's a documented hitlery's 'credo' . When will demonRATS wake up?

Who can tell for sure that victims would like her there? She's an offence to humanity.

[bray]

If it ain't staged and scripted the Black Clown will not be there. She is not a good enough actor to fake emotions. She has to be the corpse at every wedding and the bride at every funeral.

Prayers for GW and the Truth!

[hillarynot]

Thank God there are still people out there trying to expose these corrupt vile Clintons. With 9/11, most anti-Clinton issues have disappeared from most people's radar screens. We need to keep the pressure on.

Only the dead and the illegal immegrants have a voice in our elections in New York. Election fraud is a way of life for the Democrats. Democrats need to silence the American people, so they use a deadly game of Anthrax. No mail for the Senators or by they time they get your mail it to late. Why is security stepped up for our elected officials? They are not the ones in danger and it's their responsibility to protect ALL American citizens, We pay them for this service. Condit should have been removed, instead he is rewarded by Gephardt. Condit gets a seat in Homeland Security, who better to cover up a Deadly Political game of Anthrax by the Democrats. Tom Ridge won't go after Daschle or Gephardt, the FBI won't check out the obvious,Daschle and his office personel. Anthrax has been around and now being used to silence the American people. NO Mail deliveries to Washington, or late deliveries. The Airlines a Democratic Cell and the Dems found themselves a new way of funneling tax dollars. We fund the Airlines, we run the Airlines and we pay for our services while profits will go to the Dems. as campaign contributions. How sweet it is.

My first time to see the great term sheeple . Thanks for using it. Perfect term!

Here's Hiltery gazing down on her SHEEPLE, as the Hag in the Moon. You can see from her happy expression, how delighted she is to be with us all.

The WTC Tourist Guy is about to hurl. I'll save the famous photograph of the real hurl, rice krispy bits and all, for later. Hehehe!

Here she is visiting some poor kids who are saying amongst themselves: "Who is this clown?" What's "F* B* J*" mean. I am afraid you will have fill in the *s.

[putupon]

I'm also convinced she will oneday (`04 or `08), be president.

I wish you hadn't posted this, I will now be in a serious depression at least a week.

[hellinahandcart]

the head of the NY Dems Judith Hope was forced to resign earlier this month over the demand the state party made that one of them drop out and avoid a Ferrer/Green style debacle that they had in NYC.

Ack! How did I miss that?

[hellinahandcart]

Not by this New Yorker...I said from day one she would win

Me too. From the beginning of her "listening tour" I just knew that I'd end up under a stinky blanket! And while I think there was some voter fraud, I blame the media for her election. From day one they were so excited about Hillary they were wetting themselves. You couldn't go one hour without hearing her name mentioned in breathless tones on TV. She was essentially SILENT throughout the campaign and they somehow made it seem like she was dispensing wisdom and love everywhere she went. And was LOVED everywhere she went! They were determined to show her in no other light, and when she got her clock cleaned by Lazio in that debate, sure enough, they found a way to make her a victim AND a victor. I heard MEN accusing Lazio of violating her physical space and being a sexually threatening bully. It was as if people had been hypnotized. I wondered more than once if they were hiding subliminal messages in the news coverage, or if sheer repitition had accomplished the same thing.

Testimony to the power of television---the staged and choreographed kind, that is. Spontaneous events on live television tend to backfire on Hillary, and that's why she avoids it.

Everytime I read your "...hectored, hounded and harried..." quote I feel a renewed sense of outrage and dedication to spreading the word about these criminals...

[texasbluebell]

I have a inward hope, O'Reilly goes after Hillary harder then he went after the Red Cross/United Way.

I hope he does, and I really hope he keeps it up through the next election cycle. Now that O has such big ratings, he's the only one to make a difference in stopping her onslaught of the Oval Office next time around. Everybody else in the media is giving her a free pass. (Yeah, that tough NY press really gave her the business last time, didn't they?)

[NautiNurse]

I'm also convinced she will oneday (`04 or `08), be president.

What would need to happen to change your dire prediction? Let's get started!

[yoe]

BUMP!

Now go to work for the RNC office nearest you and send all your friends Barbara Olsen's book The Final Days. Everyone on my Christmas list is getting one and if they already have it, they can pass it on.

A fraud is a fraud is a fraud when it comes to the likes of Hillary Clinton. She is as evil as OBL in my book!
