I mentioned the story to a reporter of Danny, Bill Clinton's alleged illegitimate son by an African-American lady that Clinton supposedly had an affair with. The reporter wants more info, especially on my assertion that Danny and his mother moved to Australia sometime after Clinton was elected.
Links to newspaper or magazine articles would especially be appreciated.
It's totally bogus.
On the other hand, having a rap sheet doesn't mean that she never had contact with Clinton!
| Racist Cover-Up in Story of Clinton’s ‘Illegitimate Son’? |
| Carl Limbacher |
| December 15, 1998 |
Why won't the same media that chased the story of Rep. Dan Burton's love child and made national headlines out of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde's ancient affair report the Danny Williams story? "Cause they're racist," says Robert "Say" McIntosh, the Little Rock community activist who first called attention to the story of Bill Clinton's alleged son in 1988. Like Danny's family, McIntosh is convinced that the child is Clinton's: "If you see Danny, you can tell it's definitely his kid. I've met him, talked to him. Danny isn't black." Both Danny's mom, Bobbie Ann Williams, and her husband, Danny Sr. are African-American. McIntosh told NewsMax.com that when he first found out that Danny's mom was claiming that her son was conceived during a sexual encounter with the then-Arkansas governor, he went straight to the press. "I took it to the news media," he said, "because this was about the same time Gary Hart got in trouble." Hart was 1988's odds-on favorite to snag the Democratic presidential nomination until he challenged the press to look into his private life. The Miami Herald did and reported an apparent Hart affair with then-party girl Donna Rice. When pictures of Rice snuggled on Hart's lap aboard the good ship "Monkey Business" appeared in a supermarket tabloid just days later, Hart's hopes for high office were toast. But McIntosh got a distinctly indifferent reaction from reporters who had swarmed all over the Gary Hart story when he broached the topic of then-3-year-old Danny Williams. "They told me: 'That's not news. If you find out that Clinton has been messing with some white women, that's news. Let us know,’" McIntosh recounted. He said he was offended by that response, explaining, "You know, my mother is black, my wife is black and I've got eight black sisters." McIntosh says that the media's nonchalance about his bombshell information wasn't universal: "The press in London was interested," he said. "They've always been interested in this story." Danny's aunt Lucille Bolton confirmed McIntosh's claim that the British press had been chasing this story, telling NewsMax.com that a London reporter had called her the same day she spoke to us. Ten years ago, after Little Rock's media thumbed its nose at the story, McIntosh took the news to the streets, printing up handbills with Danny's photo under the salacious headline: "The Hottest Thing Going: Bill Clinton's D**k [penis] Will Keep Him From Running for President of the United States of America." The flier's text read: "Please help me raise money to take care of [this] black baby, the 'black sheep of the family.' This baby is by a black woman. This picture is furnished by the Righteous Rev. Tommy Knots. Rev. Knots is an aide to Hillary Clinton at the Rose Law Firm. After he did a six-month investigation, God told him to bring it to me. All Clinton is willing to do for the mother is keep her out of jail and prison." The last sentence refers to the prostitution charge Little Rock authorities could have brought against Danny's mother, who was working the streets when she hooked up with the person she claims is Danny's biological father. Rev. Knots became involved, according to McIntosh, after Danny's mom contacted him at the Rose Law Firm about her son. She gave Knots the photo and told him that the governor wouldn't take care of the child. Bobbie Ann Williams had sought out Knots undoubtedly hoping that the news would reach one of Rose's leading lawyers, Hillary Clinton. But it did no good. As happened with her sister Lucille Bolton in her one-on-one conversation with Hillary herself (see News on the President's Secret Son), Bobbie Ann's efforts to get the Clintons to acknowledge the child came up empty. But it was McIntosh who was most vocal about the case. After Clinton announced his candidacy for president, McIntosh says he publicly called for the governor to take a paternity test. What was the reaction? "They begged me not to do it," McIntosh says now. "Susie Whitacre [Clinton's then-press secretary] begged me to stop putting those fliers out. They never denied the story. They just begged me to stop." McIntosh says he last spoke to Bobbie Ann in April, when she asked for his advice about the offer by "A Current Affair" to do her story. He told her she should be paid for her explosive account – at least $100,000. For whatever reason, Bobbie Ann's story has yet to hit the TV airwaves. (Internet bloodhound Matt Drudge has reported that "Hard Copy," a competitor of "A Current Affair," had a piece on Danny's mom in the works but backed out after Paramount executives nixed the idea.) Some consider Robert "Say" McIntosh something of a loose cannon. Danny's aunt, Lucille Bolton, told NewsMax.com that he was merely out for his own publicity. When questioned by NewsMax.com at a recent pro-impeachment rally in Washington, D.C., former Clinton bodyguard L.D. Brown described McIntosh as "a nut." Still, Brown and McIntosh offer amazingly similar accounts regarding the Clinton marriage. Brown regaled the rally with his eyewitness perspective on evidence that Hillary Clinton and the late Vincent Foster were involved in a love affair. He added that the failure to examine this aspect of Foster's life seriously compromised investigations into his suspicious death. On the same subject, McIntosh told NewsMax.com: "Hillary and Bill don't have a real marriage. It's just a front. That's why Foster killed himself -- over Hillary." Loose cannon or not, without Robert McIntosh, the Danny Williams story would have never seen the light of day. And with Little Rock still buzzing about the news he broke, it's a story with many chapters yet to be written.
