Why you ask? Think about it. Hillary brought this on herself. She villified the NYPD in her campaign parading around the black neighborhoods with Al Sharpton. It's amazing she had the gall to show up at this event, but as we should know by now, in HRC's estimation we're all stupid anyway. She got exactly what she deserved.

As far as Bill Clinton's somewhat warmer reception, where folks were reaching over the stage for his hand--I think it was a put-on. Staged after the Hillary fiasco.

The 27,000-member New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association endorsed Representative Rick A. Lazio for Senate yesterday. Patrick J. Lynch, the president of the association, said that Mr. Lazio "does not jump on the bandwagon of criticism unreasonably at a time when it's difficult to be a New York City police officer."

Mr. Lynch was referring to a statement made in January by Mr. Lazio's opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who referred to the "murder of Amadou Diallo" shortly before the trial of the four police officers who shot Mr. Diallo. The four officers were subsequently acquitted. Although Mrs. Clinton has said she misspoke and has apologized for the remark, Mr. Lynch has not forgotten.

"She went so far, although apologizing, to call us murderers," Mr. Lynch said during a news conference with Mr. Lazio on the steps of City Hall, the site of near-constant political endorsements for local candidates these days. A New York City police officer, Mr. Lynch added, "takes offense to that." Mr. Lynch added that Mrs. Clinton's statement was "one of many" she has made against the police.

Mr. Lynch praised Mr. Lazio for supporting higher pay for New York City police officers and for opposing federal oversight of the department. The possibility of such oversight is now being negotiated between City Hall and the United States attorney's office in the Eastern District of New York.

Although the endorsement by the city's police officers was not unexpected, it was a boost for Mr. Lazio, whose relatively lax campaign pace has worried state Republicans in recent weeks. "This endorsement means a great deal to me," Mr. Lazio said at the news conference, adding that "as a former prosecutor and as the son-in-law of a former New York City detective, I know very well how difficult this job is."

Mrs. Clinton's campaign pointed out that Mr. Lazio voted in 1995 with other Republicans against a Clinton administration program that eventually put 100,000 more police officers on the nation's streets, including more than 11,000 in New York State. Mr. Lazio countered that his vote was based on his desire to see local control of decisions about policing. "The question is whether Washington is going to dictate how that money's going to be spent or whether we're going to spend it on our own priorities," he said.

In the 1998 New York Senate race, the association supported the Republican incumbent, Alfonse M. D'Amato, over then-Representative Charles E. Schumer, who won.

For the story behind the story...

Before Sharpton, Hillary Hobnobbed with Crips, Bloods and Panthers
Hillary's riot?
 
That's what some are saying about the violence that erupted Saturday in
Brooklyn over a case that has become the focus of the first lady's US
Senate campaign against New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
 
Mrs. Clinton, it turns out, is no stranger to some of the more militant
players in America's cauldron of racial politics. In fact, before she
hooked up with a triad of reverends now busily polarizing New York on
her behalf, she entertained former Crips and Bloods gang members at the
White House and championed the cause of the Black Panthers.
 
Since New York police fatally shot the unarmed Patrick Dorismond nearly
two weeks ago, the Revs. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Calvin Butts
have become Mrs. Clinton's most effective campaigners, whipping up so
much resentment in New York's black community, it's surprising more
people weren't injured in Saturday's rock and bottle throwing melee.
 
While Hillary confines herself to milder forms of racial demagoguery,
making statements like "We all know New York has a problem; all of us
except, it seems, Mayor Giuliani," her three reverends have been less
circumspect.
 
"You want to maintain the status quo and you want a few Negroes to help
you do it. Go to hell, white man," shouted Rev. Butts from his pulpit
at the Abyssinian Baptist Church a few weeks ago. The white man Butts
had in mind was, of course, Giuliani -- who days earlier had trumpeted
the acquittal verdict in another police shooting case as vindication for
his own wait-and-see approach.
 
Showing typical Republican timidity, neither Giuliani nor New York's GOP
governor George Pataki has called Butts on his racist diatribe, despite
the fact that this member of Hillary's triad just happens to be
president of the taxpayer funded State University of New York at Old
Westbury.
 
Not to be outdone by Butts, Jackson came to town last week to pronounce
the first lady's Senate opponent "mentally disturbed."
 
For his part, Sharpton argued Sunday that Brooklyn's mini-riot was
actually the mayor's fault, claiming that the presence of so many police
clad in riot gear had provoked the crowd. (In fact, observers agree,
cops in riot gear didn't appear till after the rock and bottle throwing
began.)
 
The racial demagoguery is working, with the latest Zogby poll putting
Hillary three points ahead of Giuliani, a whopping ten-point improvement
for her in the last three weeks.
 
None of this is new to Hillary.
 
One of the more bizarre though little noted features of the Clintons'
arrival in Washington was their invitation to two former Los Angeles
gang members to help celebrate their triumph.
 
"Man, it was beautiful," one-time Crip Charles Rachal told the Los
Angeles Times in January 1993 about his meeting with the president. "He
talked to us individually and all together -- just like it was a family
thing. People were getting up, going to this table, going to that
table, giving hugs and taking pictures. Man, it was heartwarming."
 
Rachal and former Blood gang member Leon Gullett had ringside seats for
Clinton's swearing-in ceremony and were even invited to one of the gala
inaugural balls, reported the Times.
 
Gang members might not be everybody's idea of A-list party guests. But
for Hillary, hobnobbing with murderous militants was old hat.
 
Twenty years earlier, while a grad student at Yale, a young Hillary
Rodham's brand of radical politics led her to the doorstep of the Black
Panthers. Several Panthers, including the notorious Bobby Seale, were
then on trial in New Haven for the torture death of one of their own
members, Alex Rackley.
 
The Panthers suspected Rackley was an informant for police, better known
to Hillary's crowd at the time as "the pigs." For his perceived sins,
Rackley's Panther brethren clubbed him, burned him with cigarettes,
scalded him with boiling water, stabbed him with an ice pick and finally
shot him twice. Police found Rackley's mutilated body floating in the
Coginchaug River, twenty-five miles north of New Haven.
 
In her stinging biography of the first lady, Hell to Pay, Barbara Olson
reports, "Hillary formed a close association with [Panther lawyer
Charles] Garry and manifested no misgivings about the violent rhetoric
of his clients, who called for police assassinations and said, 'If Bobby
dies, Yale fries.'"
 
"Hillary attended the Black Panther trials and put her considerable
leadership and organizational skills to work in organizing shifts of
fellow students to monitor the trial and report alleged civil rights
abuses," Olson wrote.
 
As the trial's controversy swirled over Yale's campus, the rallying cry
from student radicals became "Shut it down or burn it down!" Even after
Yale's faculty voted to suspend normal operations and open the campus to
outside protestors, several unexplained fires erupted in Yale buildings,
reports Joyce Milton in her Hillary bio, The First Partner.
 
Hillary Clinton cut her activist teeth on the politics of race.
After rubbing shoulders with the Crips, the Bloods and the Panthers,
it's no surprise she's counting on her new friends, Sharpton, Jackson
and Butts, to help make her New York's next US Senator.

Patrick Dorismond Shooting:
Co-Rapist Plays Race Card Again
Affects clinton-Comity Pose While Fomenting Racial Hatred
 

"E pluribus unum. Out of one, many."
(REPUGNANT, RACIST, RECKLESS CLINTON-CLINTON-GORE SCHEME) 
Make no mistake. hillary clinton calling the four cops "murderers" was a standard issue, premeditated, preprogrammed, reckless clinton scheme to balkanize, to foment racial hatred, to jack up the black vote for clinton's pathetic candidacy and, assuming hillary clinton possesses no less than half a brain (a BIG assumption, I concede), did not even represent her true analysis of the tragedy.

"Shame on You":

Letter to hillary clinton from daughter of Sean Carroll

"Shame on you."

Shauna Carroll, the 11-year-old daughter of embattled police officer Sean Carroll, sent this angry letter to Hillary Clinton - who recently admitted she "misspoke" about the Diallo case.

Dear Hillary Clinton,

As an 11 year old student, enjoying my school life, I have been encouraged to learn about current events in our society, I have read various newspapers and enjoyed media coverage of events that will one day change our society.

However, as a daughter of an NYPD officer I am disappointed at your narrow-minded comment about the Diallo shooting. They are not murderers as you call them. They are regular guys, like my dad, Sean Carroll.

Our lives have changed a great deal because of this tragedy. I have heard death threats on my answering machine and watched people like you use my dad for political purposes.

Hillary, as a woman, my mother encouraged me to look to the bright side and believe in ourselves. However, you as a woman and a mother, are not exactly a good role model for your daughter or any other young girl.

I cried when I watched you refer to my dad and his partners as murderers.

Hillary, look before you leap. Don't judge a book by a cover. Think before you talk and learn more about a subject before you condemn someone.

Shame on you.

Shauna Carroll, proud daughter of NYC police officer

Hillary Press Release RE: Diallou Verdict

New York Post , Feb 24, 2000 print edition

 

 
When you don't vote, you let another church explode.
When you don't vote, you allow another cross to burn.
When you don't vote, you let another assault wound a brother or sister.
When you don't vote, you let the Republicans continue. . .
Voting will change things for the better.
On November 3rd, vote.
Vote smart.
Vote Democratic for Congress and the U.S. Senate.
---racist clinton-clinton-gore-DNC ad (1998) directed to blacks
 

It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope.

We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,
and listen to the song of that siren
till she transforms us into beasts.
Is this the part of wise men,
engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Are we disposed to be the number of those
who, having eyes, see not,
and having ears, hear not,
the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?
For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost,
I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst, and to provide for it.

clintonism and the theology of contempt

by Mia T

 
 
Let us hope that the rabbi's question was merely rhetorical. . . Let us hope that Rabbi Potasnik, and by extension, New York Jews, are not as credulous and obsequious and passive as they appear. . .
 
The simple answer to the rabbi's question is that the corrupt, self-serving, anti-Semitic, power-hungry harpy cannot be trusted.
 
Weren't we to never forget?
 
The Holocaust must remain, for Jew and Christian alike, a constant reminder that mass credulity and obsequiousness and passivity are necessary for the demagogue to prevail.
 
To remember that six million Jews died in the Holocaust is to understand that centuries of anti-Semitic attitudes made this horror possible. We must ask ourselves what role our society played through the centuries that in any way contributed to the atmosphere that made such a genocide even thinkable.
 
Which brings me to the clintons and clintonism. . .
 
Senator Patrick Moynihan proffered one of the more incisive operant definitions of clintonism -- "defining deviancy down."
 
Defining deviancy down, indeed.
clintonism has made personal and public perversions, personal and public predations, not merely thinkable, not merely acceptable, but de rigueur. (Watch us spin. . . and spin.}
 
clintonism is the theology of contempt. Not merely toward "F___ing Jew-bastards," not merely toward "lazy niggers" or "extra-chromosome right-wingers" but toward any of us whose ideas are different from those of the clintons, Gore, and their acolytes.
 
So the real question to be answered is this:
"What fair-minded, clear-thinking person would want to continue
with its theology of contempt?
What fair-minded, clear-thinking person would vote for hillary clinton or Al Gore?"
