Hillary, who started “Obama is a Muslim” thing in 2008, appalled Trump might think Obama's a Muslim

Is the word “started” too strong? How about “popularized”? “Amplified”? “Attempted to capitalize on politically”? We can split these hairs as finely as you’d like.

Here’s what she said today about Trump’s now-famous Q&A last night, via Mediaite:

“He knew or he should have known that what that man was asking was not only way out of bounds, it was untrue,” she continued. “And he should have, from the beginning, repudiated that kind of rhetoric, that level of hatefulness in a questioner in an audience that he was appearing before. So I would call on him and call on all of the candidates to stop this descent into the kind hateful, mean-spirited, divisive rhetoric that we have seen too much of in the last months.”…

“I think it is prejudiced, I think it is discriminatory, and I think that it comes out of the unfortunate reservoir of hateful rhetoric that we have seen too much of where people are being set against one another, and that has no place in our politics,” she said.

Today, the Drudge Report posted a big, fat headline that howled, “Clinton staffers circulate ‘dressed’ Obama.” Accompanying the headline was a picture of Obama on a diplomatic trip to Kenya in 2006, wearing some type of traditional dress of the area—complete with a turban-looking headdress…

First, the Obama campaign sent around a press release at 9:29 a.m. from campaign manager David Plouffe, in which he said the photo is “exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world.”

Then, at 10:54 a.m., Clinton’s campaign manager, Maggie Williams, pierced the quiet with her own release. “Enough,” she wrote. “If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.” She goes on to say Obama is trying to “distract from the serious issues.” Note that they never refuted Drudge’s piece…

In December, the [Clinton] campaign asked two of its employees to resign after they proliferated rumors that Obama was a Muslim.

Let me remind you again, as I did this morning, that Hillary herself once hedged when asked if Obama was a Muslim, saying there was no evidence of that “as far as I know.” And let me remind you of something else that doesn’t get much play these days but was a fact of political life during the 2008 Democratic primary: Both Obama fans and Hillary fans were convinced that the other side was playing filthy racial politics at various points in the campaign. Remember when Bill Clinton compared Obama’s primary win in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s wins there, which O’s supporters took as an attempt to pigeonhole him as a “black candidate”? Remember when Hillary said early on in the primaries that for all of MLK’s civil rights achievements, it took LBJ to actually turn them into law? Obama called that comment “ill advised,” supposedly because it diminished King but really because it cast him in the role of an inspirational black leader who should be operating outside politics. Remember later in the campaign when Hillary argued she’d be more electable as nominee because her support was stronger among “working, hard-working Americans, white Americans”? That comment earned her the opprobrium of Media Matters staffer Oliver Willis in a post titled “Hillary White Power Clinton.” And do you remember how all of these racial accusations annoyed the living s**t out of Hillary and her supporters, all the way up to Bill Clinton himself? Lots of liberals don’t remember. But a few, like Ryan Cooper, still do. Maybe Herself’s finger-wagging at Trump here will lead our media to take its own trip down memory lane.

When you’re done with the clip, dive into this immensely enjoyable article from Politico in which 20 big-name Democrats try and fail miserably to name one meaningful Hillary Clinton accomplishment. Barbara Boxer’s submission, no joke, is “galvanizing the Senate after the tragedy of 9/11 to rebuild the city,” as if that wouldn’t have happened without her. You want to know what Hillary’s real biggest accomplishment is? It’s not making an atrocious deal with Iran that’ll give them a nuclear weapon in 15 years like her successor did. If she was honest, that’s what she’d campaign on.

...a Politico article explores 20 big-name Democrats trying, and
failing miserably, to name even one meaningful Hillary accomplishment...

Politico needs to explore then-Secy Hillary and Dem Diane
Feinstein's heretofore unreported success (/snix). Read on.

Gun grabber and gun smuggler, Cali Democrat Leland Yee, headed to prison
canadafreepress.com ^ | 7/3/2015 | Robert Laurie / FR Posted by rktman

Secret FBI meetings w/ Cali Democrat Leland Yee contain details you'd expect of a mob thriller: murder for hire, gun running, marijuana farming, truckloads of contraband cigarettes and stolen liquor and political pay-for-play.

The story is stranger still given the political corruption target. Democrat Yee holds a doctorate in child psychology and has held elected posts on the San Francisco school board and Board of Supervisors, and has sat in both the California Assembly and Senate. In the affidavit, he is described as "Uncle Leland."

==============================================

QUESTION Gun-grabber State Sen Leland Yee, A school administrator, knew where to get missiles, launchers, machine-guns etc....how'd he know that? Did Lee get any help from Di/FI...and Hillary's State Dept?

SOURCE: http://www.state.gov/t/pm/rsat/c14027.htm

STATE DEPT CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF ARMS TRANSFERS
Third party transfers are subject to requirements for Congressional notification under AECA, §3(d) (reference (c)), using guidelines similar to those for AECA, §36(b) (reference (c)) notifications (see Chapter 5, section C5.6).

A 30-day prior Congressional notification is required for third-party transfer requests that involve defense articles and services with original acquisition values that fall in one of the following categories: Major Defense Equipment (MDE) with an acquisition value equal to or greater than $14,000,000 for non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) recipients and $25,000,000 if the recipient is a member of NATO, Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand or Republic of Korea; or any other defense article or related training or defense service with an acquisition value of $50,000,000 or more for non-NATO recipients and $100,000,000 or more for NATO, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand recipients.

Approval is granted after the 30-day (including weekends) period has expired if no objections are raised.

================================================

BACKSTORY: Back in Sept 2014, Senate intel head Di/Fi was whining about the CIA looking through her computers and taking documents. Clearly, the CIA had plenty on her----even BEFORE the shocking Chi/Com missile scandal broke.

Di/Fi's known aversion to guns did not prevent her from honoring jailbird Lee's co-defendant, Raymond Chow---Chow is the key figure in Cali's Demorat state Sen Leland Yee's shocking missile deal w/ China (Yee is a notorious grabber of American guns).

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:

<><>Feinstein heads the Senate Intel Committee;

<><> Her hubby Richard Blum made million as the lawyer for Chinese interests;

<><> gun-grabber Leland Yee knew where to get missiles, launchers, machine-guns etc;

<><> Co-conspirator Raymond Chow was jailed, then freed when he professed to be a “really nice guy”.... honored by Di/Fi for working with local Chinese youths.

====================================================

THE DI/FI STORY COULD DWARF YEE'S ARMS DEAL: Taxpayers demand and investigation of Di/Fi's intel activities.

<><> Did Di use her access to valuable US security data improperly?

<><> Hubby Richard Blum made millions in China deals in past years. How'd he do that?

<><> Is hubby cutting new deals w/ the Chi/Coms?

=======================================

FBI TIP PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov

======================================

ARE THE CLINTONS INVOLVED? “In my view, (Di/Fi said of Hillary) she’s in the prime of her political life. She’s got the energy. She’s articulate. She’s got the background. She’s got the smarts. She has all of the elements of a good leader plus the fact, and this is not to be underestimated, she is enormously attractive to people,” she said on CNN's "State of the Union." “And she carries the torch for women who are the majority of votes in this country, very strongly and very high.”

Hillary engineered some $126 millions worth of arms deals as Secy of State....a nice pile from srms dealing.

BTW, Hillary's enormous income includes:

Hualuo CEO Forum (Spouse) Shanghai, China $550,000
Telefonaktiebolagel LM Ericsson AB (Spouse) Hong Kong, China $750,000
