Yes, FReepers, I bought the ******* book of lies. I needed it so it can be discussed with David Schippers on today's DFU RADIO HOUR. Please tune in at 5:00pm Pacific.
Here are Hillary's citations regarding rape:
p. 73 - The judge walked the defendant through his plea and then sentenced him. It was shortly after this experience that Ann Henry and I discussed setting up Arkansas's first rape hot line.
p. 269 - (re: the Chinese) Law enforcement often turns a blind eye to the crimes of wife beating, bride burning and female infanticide, and in certain communities, women who are raped can be jailed for adultery.
p. 303 (re: World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna) - They suggested beefing up passages about the effects of war on women, particularly the devastating proliferation of rape as a tactic of war and the increasing number of women refugees resulting from violent conflict.
p. 305 - It is a violation of human rights when individual women are raped in their own communities and when thousands of women are subjected to rape as a tactic or prize of war.
==============================
I've scanned the table of contents. The book is crap. After the show, I'm returning it to WalMart and demanding my money back.
p. 403-04 - In Rwanda, rape and sexual assaults were committed on a mass scale, tactical weapons in the genocidal violence that raged there in 1994.
"This man never does anything without a purpose," I remember thinking when I saw Nixon's comment reported in the NEW YORK TIMES. My service on the 1974 impeachment staff aside, I suspected that Nixon understood better than many the threat Bill posed to the Republican hold on the Presidency. He probably believed that denigrating Bill because he put up with an outspoken wife, and vilifying me as "unbecoming," might scare voters anxious for a change but uncertain about us.
==============================
For those who don't know, Hillary tried to prevent Nixon from having the benefit of legal counsel. She and Bernie Nussbaum were the only staff lawyers on that committee who did not get a recommendation from Jerome Zeifman.
I received a boost in late June from another unexpected source: Father George Tribou, the priest who had run the Catholic boys' high school in Little Rock for many years. He had become a friend of mine even though he disagreed with my pro-choice position. He had stayed overnight in the White House, and I had arranged for him to meet His Holiness Pope John Paul II during the papal visit to St. Louis in 1999. Father Tribou wrote me a letter dated June 24, 1999:
Dear Hillary,
I want to tell you what I have been telling students for 50 years:
It is my opinion that on Judgment Day the first quesiton God asks is not about the Ten Commandments (although He gets to them later!) but what He asks each of us is this:
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE TIME AND THE TALENT I GAVE YOU?...
Those who feel are not up to handling the hostile New York press and the taunts of your opponents fail to realize that, having been tried in the fire, you can handle anything.
...Bottom line: run, Hillary, run! My prayers will be with you all the way.
I was laughing too hard to even ask the clerks what was going on.
"So, how long have you been a robber?"
"Four foot, one!"
"Crikey! Foor foot one! Well that is a long time."
It was a joke, in the article that did a Harry Potter spoof by that guy who writes for the Telegraph. Steyn?
I would recommend to others to try to get the copy from the local library; you've already paid taxed to get it stocked there, might as well make use of it.
