The purpose of this post is to begin providing links, tools, and tactics which we can all use to educate the public, fellow citizens, and neighbors about Hillary Clinton.
It is a work in progress- I have provided a starting point, but want others to chime in with more links, stories, and information.
It is the product of conversations with a number of other members, from which several salient tactical points emerged:
1- keep it as contemporary as possible- the old Whitewater and similar items are stale and dead to the public.
2- keep it civil, please- within the board guidelines, or better. We are trying to convert the mushy middle, and stridency puts them off. Badly.
3- source or reference everything. Authenticity is critical to such an effort.
Here's where it started:

Meanwhile, Bill Bradley pointed out evidence of something I predicted -- Clinton can't go negative against Obama without losing key black supporters: I told you so. Even if some people weren't bright enough to get the point, at least until Tom Maguire patiently explained it.

Bonus article:
Gimli raises axe for Western civilizationPerhaps the most passionate observations came from John Rhys-Davies, who plays the dwarf Gimli and voices Treebeard the Ent. Focusing on the necessity of defending civilization in times of crisis, Rhys-Davies took the media to task for failing to appreciate the preciousness of Western civilization, and warned of the potential consequences of rising Muslim extremism and the increasingly Islamic face of Europe.
I think that Tolkien says that some generations will be challenged, said Rhys-Davies, and if they do not rise to meet that challenge, they will lose their civilization. That does have a real resonance with me.
Pointing a finger at the media, Rhys-Davies went on, What is unconscionable is that too many of your fellow journalists do not understand how precarious Western civilization is, and what a jewel it is The abolition of slavery comes from Western democracy. True democracy comes from our Greco-Judeo-Christian Western experience. If we lose these things, then this is a catastrophe for the world.
Rhys-Davies revealed that as far back as 1955 his father had predicted that the next World War will be between Islam and the West. The actor recalled his response: I said to him, Dad, youre nuts! The Crusades have been over for hundreds of years! And he said, Well, I know, but militant Islam is on the rise again. And you will see it in your lifetime. Hes been dead some years now. But theres not a day that goes by that I dont think of him and think, God, I wish you were here, just so I could tell you that you were right.
Looking at the lone female journalist at the table, Rhys-Davies said pointedly, You should not be in this room [according to Muslim custom]. Because your husband or your father or your husband is not here to guide you. You could only be here in this room with these strange men for immoral purposes.
Rhys-Davies went on to contemplate the significance of demographic shifts among Western Europeans and Muslims in Europe. There is a demographic catastrophe happening in Europe that nobody wants to talk about, that we darent bring up because we are so cagey about not offending people racially. And rightly we should be. But there is a cultural thing as well By 2020, fifty percent of the children in Holland under the age of 18 will be of Muslim descent
And dont forget, coupled with this there is this collapse of numbers. Western Europeans are not having any babies. The population of Germany at the end of the century is going to be 56% of what it is now. The populations of France, 52% of what it is now. The population of Italy is going to be down 7 million people.
There is a change happening in the very complexion of Western civilization in Europe that we should think about at least and argue about. If it just means the replacement of one genetic stock with another genetic stock, that doesnt matter too much. But if it involves the replacement of Western civilization with a different civilization with different cultural values, then it is something we really ought to discuss because, [hang it all], I am for dead-white-male culture!
His fellow filmmakers might not all agree, but Tolkien would have applauded.

Update 12:00am. Blecchhh. Heres the video clip of her self-congratulatory, voice-discovering moment.
Which gives me a good opportunity to remind you of the many voices of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Like her fake Selma voice. And her Al Sharptons best friend voice. And her Bug Off, Code Pink! voice. And her chumming it up with Peter Paul voice. And her hearty, cackling voice. Oh, and her botched, open-borders voice.
Shes her own self-generating cacophony.
Unlike her Iowa stage, tonight Hillary is surrounded by young people, not old fogies.

No one can pretend that this wasn't a huge victory for Hillary Clinton. All of the pollsters had her tanking in the days between Iowa and tonight, and I mean all of them. She not only got to be an underdog, she got to write a comeback script for a media that loves them....One last thought: this is the second state where the independents broke towards the Democrats. Republicans need to consider that and its implications for the entire ticket in November.
Of course we knew it was all a dream. (Or, to be more precise, a phony construction to allow Mrs. Clinton to claim to have overcome such tremendous odds.)
Update: Or did she?. After all - the left's never lost an election that wasn't stolen.

Winner: Thompson. This performance was so commanding, I wanted his last answer to echo back to the lights in the back of the auditorium, blow out all the lamps and spotlights, for the theme to the Natural to play, and for him to trot around the stage in slow motion while sparks showered down in the background.

SNEAK PEEK: Shuck & Jive
Clinton Explains Himself to Sharpton
By TEDDY DAVIS, TALAL AL-KHATIB and MIKE ELMORE
January 11, 2008The Clintons defended themselves Friday against charges of racial insensitivity towards Democratic rival Barack Obama.
Well, I think its regrettable because both of these accusations are baseless and divisive and any fair reading of what both of us said would be clear and I think its regrettable that these are being in a way used to try to divide people in our country during this election and Im not going to have any part of it, Clinton told ABC News. I personally find it offensive.
You know, she continued, I was inspired by Dr. King when I was a young girl. I considered him one of my heroes, a global symbol, an icon of everything that is the best about America and he worked his entire life to make the changes that we enjoy today so I hope that this kind of unfortunate political activity really just ceases because I dont think this is what we want this election to be about.
Clinton made her comments to ABCs Eloise Harper while campaigning in East Los Angeles, Calif. She was asked if comments she made about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and remarks her husband made about Obama receiving fairy-tale treatment from the press might hurt her standing with African Americans.
While the former first lady was defending herself in California, her husband was explaining himself to the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Its not a fairy tale; he might win, said Clinton. I think hes a very impressive man, and hes run a great campaign.
Clinton is under fire for using the words fairy tale in connection with Obama. South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn told Fridays New York Times that he saw the remark as a slap at the image of a black candidate running on a theme of unity and optimism. Clyburn is now reconsidering his neutral stance in South Carolinas Jan. 26 Democratic primary.
The former president explained to Sharpton that his comment was not a swipe at Obama reaching for the White House but rather a reference to the fawning press treatment Obama has received
What liars these Clintons be.
But as usual, Bills lies are so blatant that they hardly need to be explained. All anyone has to do is read the context of his fairy tale remarks. He was griping about Barack Obamas judgment.
However, Hillary is just as mendacious, perhaps even more so at least in this instance:
You know, she continued, I was inspired by Dr. King when I was a young girl. I considered him one of my heroes, a global symbol, an icon of everything that is the best about America and he worked his entire life to make the changes that we enjoy today so I hope that this kind of unfortunate political activity really just ceases because I dont think this is what we want this election to be about.
Indeed, she trots out variations on this theme at every opportunity:
As a young girl, I had the great privilege of hearing Dr. King speak in Chicago. The year was 1963. My youth minister from our church took a few of us down on a cold January night to hear someone that we had read about, we had watched on television, we had seen with our own eyes from a distance, this phenomenon known as Dr. King. He titled the sermon he gave that night Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution. Hillary Clinton, March 4, 2007, on the 42nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma.
This amazing brush with history has been featured prominently in Hillarys ghostwritten autobiography and all of the other hagiographies written about her, where it is uniformly presented as a watershed moment in her young life.
However, despite her various recollections of the event, the young Diane Rodham (as she called herself then) went to hear Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 15, 1962.
And much more importantly, it would appear that Mr. King didnt seem to make much of an impression on herself at all. Since after having had that supposedly life-changing moment, young Diane went on to become a Goldwater Girl and to campaign door to door for her candidate throughout the fall of 1964.
For unfortunately for the Hillary mythos, as I have mentioned elsewhere, her hero Mr. Goldwater was adamantly opposed to the passage of the Civil Right Act of 1964, which of course was Mr. Kings primary cause at the time.
Indeed, Mr. Goldwater was one of the few Republicans who opposed the measure. And his opposition to it was one of the foremost issues of the campaign.
So it is quite appalling to hear Mrs. Clinton now pretend, as she so often does, to have been so deeply and forever moved by the experience of having heard Mr. King speak.
Thats the real fairy tale here. But no one will bother to report it.
After all, whats another lie from the Clintons?
More brutal and gory details of the man Obama unequivocally supports. Obama is so busted. This is more than bad judgment, this is scary. A Jacksonian who has done yeoman's work in substantiating Odinga's nefarious Arab ties and his hand in the ongoing violence that has all of Kenya in its barbaric clutches. Inconceivable horror. Gang raping little girls and boys as many as ten times. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Obama has backed Odinga unequivocally going so far as telling big media (out of TIME Magazine's Joe Klein here),
"Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga. As of late this afternoon, before his rally in Rochester, N.H., Obama was trying to reach Kenyan President Kibaki."
And he still hasn't reached him I bet. More on Odinga and Obama's phone conversations here.
This is beyond bad judgment. This is just bad and this story is not going to go away no matter how desperately in love Obamedia is with the Christ child. Big media does not control information anymore. And Obama is culpable. Here I am -- an individual blogger getting all this terrible information on Odinga and the man running for POTUS is in the dark? Think about it.
Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."
A Jacksonian sent me this stunning comment (with links) on his post The other source of change in Kenyan politics made by one of his readers, mobysnny:
It's not getting reported in the media that the looting and burning of businesses in Kisumu was targeted to both Kikuyus and Kenyan Indians. The economy of Kenya is controlled by these two groups because they are Entrepreneurial. But Kenyan Indians rarely get involved in Kenyan politics, they do not vote by choice, yet the Luos in Kisumu do not like them, that's why their stores were getting burnt too.
Obama's boy.
I mentioned in my other comment about Luo supporters of Odinga abroad were telling each other to contact TV stations and spread about the violence in Kenya. Here is one sent by a Luo to Jerusalem Post.
I was shocked by the lies this man decided to tell the post. That is the reason we are seeing all this stories making Odinga and his supporters look like angels even as they kill people.
Can you believe these Luos abroad were telling their supporters in Kenya that William Ruto and Raila Odinga had been arrested immediately after the election results. Which was total lies. It was meant to incite ODM supporters in Kenya mainly Luos and Kalenjin (Ruto is a Kalenjin). That's another reason we were seeing the violence getting worse.
Another false rumour they were spreading was that the Police Commissioner had resigned in protest to the election results. The government had to contact Kenyans by cell phones (Text Messages) and tell them that the rumours were false and that anybody found inciting people with force rumours will be prosecuted.
Bishop Cornelius Korir of Eldoret confirms the killings were organized and planned. It is believed Odinga and his ODM Pentagon members had planned it all, long before elections, and especially William Ruto the MP for Eldoret North (the burning of women and children in a church).
Leftwing media spin:
Novelist Ngugi wa Thiong'o Professor UC Irvine comments on the violence
But here is what is happening:
Another shocker that now his supporters are using rape as a weapon.
This is a complete disaster. Luo Nyanza leads the country with HIV/AIDS . Two main reasons, one is, they have this tradition called Wife Inheritance, whereby if your brother dies, the tradition requires that you marry his widow. The other reason is that their men do not circumcise. It's another tradition they wouldn't give up. Recent studies have shown that the spread of HIV is higher in groups that don't circumcise.
Rape, the Mob's Latest Weapon in Kenya Telgraph
By Adrian Blomfield in Kisumu
Hundreds of women and children, including boys as young as five, have been gang-raped in a wave of sexual violence that has swept Kenya in the aftermath of last week's disputed presidential election.
As ethnic hatred mounts in a country teetering on the brink of catastrophe, disturbing reports are emerging that angry mobs are adding rape to their arsenal of revenge.
At a hospital for women in the Nairobi suburb of Hurlingham, doctors said that they had treated 24 women and 13 girls over the past four days.
Three boys were also admitted after being repeatedly sodomized. "Most of them have been gang-raped, one of them by 10 men," said Rahab Ngugi, the hospital's matron.
"We believe we only know about a fraction of cases because most people have no transport to get to hospitals or are still trapped because of the security situation."
The vast majority of the victims had been assaulted in their own homes and all had been targeted because of their tribe, the doctors said.
Most were members of President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe, attacked in Nairobi's slums by other ethnic groups who support Raila Odinga, his Luo challenger.
The mobs had smashed their way into their homes, the women told doctors. Attacking everyone they found inside with machetes and clubs, the youths raped them in front of their husbands, some of whom were later killed.
Aid workers said they had received reports of similar attacks across the country, although no statistics are available
There's more. Read the whole thing.
It seems they are using rape as another way of killing.

And talking about Luo traditions. When you marry one you marry the clan. They have a habit of creating havoc when a Luo man dies, and especially a wealthy one, the wife is no longer the one in charge of where her husband gets buried.
Two cases: Wambui Otieno case (Kenya) here and here.
While Otieno's body lay in cold storage last week in a Nairobi mortuary, the legal battle raged over whether the lawyer should receive a traditional Luo tribal burial at his ancestral homeland near Lake Victoria or a Christian interment outside Nairobi. His widow Wambui Otieno initially feared she would be made to shave her head and marry Otieno's younger brother if the burial were held according to Luo custom. While her qualms now appear unfounded, she continues to insist that Luo tribal laws are "out of step with civilization."
( By the way, Wangari Maathai is 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner. Became First African woman to win Nobel Prize. She is Kikuyu)
A Swedish White Lady married to a Luo in Sweden, the Luos gave her hell and they wanted to make it appear like it was a Kenyan thing, which it was not:
(Kenya Stockholm is a Luo web site)
One of the Quotes from the site's commentaries:
"Maggero's wife understands the Luo culture "like the back of her hands" and the lightning appearing on her back yard on the funeral arrangements could be hiding evidence that she is well aware about the major downpour that may be on the way"
Jacksonian, I can get more on this case if you want me to paste.
An interesting Journal article you can get online. It has more information. It's on pdf format and I don't know how to paste it here. If you google it, you'll get it. It's interesting:
"The nature of decline: distinguishing myth from reality in the case of the Luo of Kenya"
Last but not least, have any of you read the book by Amy Chua "World On Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability" ?
It talks about the background behind the hatred of Indians and Kikuyus in Kenya.

Were going to put money in the pockets of hardworking Americans who deserve it. Thats what Im fighting for, Obama told hotel and restaurant workers packed into the steamy union hall of the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226. The Illinois senator said he identified with their economic hardships.
How about identifying with responsible homeowners and responsible taxpayers wholl be paying for all this election-year largessemuch of it not to Americans who deserve it, but to people who shouldnt have been taking out home loans they couldnt pay for and mortgage companies that shouldnt have taken them on as customers?
How about them?

More on the candidates various flavors of Hillarycare from the WSJ:
The top three Democratic candidates have called for various measures that move beyond the current administrations effort to get lenders to voluntarily modify troubled loans. The Democratic plans share elements, including the creation of a federal fund to help homeowners refinance onerous mortgages, legal protections for lenders to free them to alter individual mortgage terms, and tighter regulation of lenders to prevent future crises.
But the plans from Democrats contain some differences, which could become accentuated in Nevada, and later, in big states such as California. Both Mrs. Clinton and John Edwards have said that if the mortgage industry doesnt voluntarily agree to enlarge and lengthen the terms of a plan backed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and agree to a foreclosure moratorium, they would force the lenders to do so through legislation.
Barack Obama opposes making laws to force such moves. An Obama adviser says that a mandatory moratorium and rate freeze which could force lenders to hold loan interest rates below market levels could deter them from re-entering the market and would delay the return of liquidity.
There could also be legal issues, the adviser says. There would certainly be some serious constitutional issues to consider from the government trying to directly change the terms of millions of mortgage contracts after the fact, the adviser says. Mr. Obama thinks the industry should make these changes voluntarily.
What about the GOP?
Republicans for the most part support President Bushs approach on the issue, to get lenders and mortgage-bond investors to agree voluntarily to modify some troubled loans. They havent unveiled separate plans like the Democrats, but two candidates, Mitt Romney and John McCain, have indicated that more might need to be done should the situation worsen, a view echoed by Mr. Paulson earlier this week

They havent unveiled separate plans like the Democrats, but two candidates, Mitt Romney and John McCain, have indicated that more might need to be done should the situation worsen, a view echoed by Mr. Paulson earlier this week.
Theres clearly an additional need to consider other measures, Mr. McCain said Wednesday. I will know within a very short period of time whether these policies are succeeding or not, he said of Mr. Paulsons plan to persuade lenders voluntarily to modify some troubled mortgages. Mr. Romney has called for the creation of a business cooperative that would pool the bad loans in one entity that would then be able to handle individual solutions with homeowners. Romneys aides also say he favors increased funding for a government chartered housing-services agency called NeighborWorks America.
Mr. Huckabee mentions the housing market in his new ad. But he hasnt proposed government intervention. He said in Iowa that he fully supports the administrations voluntary plan.
Messrs. Obama and Edwards support a bill currently in the Senate to amend bankruptcy law to allow judges to alter the terms of a mortgage.
From New Hampshires Nashua Telegraph:
Clinton adviser arrested in Nashua
By STEPHANIE HOOPER
Saturday, January 12, 2008
NASHUA A top Clinton adviser faces charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated after city police caught him speeding through Greeley Park a day before the state primary.
Sidney Blumenthal, longtime friend and senior adviser to presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. was allegedly driving a rented car north on Concord Street at a speed of 70 mph when Nashua Police Sgt. Mike Masella decided to stop it at about 12:30 a.m. Monday.
Thats kinda fast, Masella said, adding that the speed limit was 30 mph.
Masella said he activated the blue lights on his police cruiser at which point Blumenthal stopped his vehicle at the entrance to the Henri Burque Highway.
Although he was driving the opposite direction, Blumenthal, 59, told Masella he had just left Manchester and was trying to get to his hotel.
I said Youre coming from a different area, and he admitted he was lost, Masella said.
Several factors, such as the smell of alcohol led him to suspect Blumenthal may be intoxicated, Masella said, and he instructed arriving officer Christopher Ditullio to give Blumenthal a field sobriety test.
Blumenthal was arrested after completing the test and taken to the police department where he refused to take a breath test and was booked on a charge of aggravated driving while intoxicated, Masella said.
The charge is aggravated due to the speed Blumenthals vehicle was traveling before it was stopped, he said.
Blumenthal was jailed at the department for about four hours before he was bailed later that morning, Masella said.
Because he refused the breath test, Blumenthal, who carries a Washington, D.C., drivers license, may not drive a vehicle in New Hampshire pending the outcome of his court case, Masella said.
Notice the timeline here.
Mr. Blumenthal was caught driving (allegedly) drunk last Sunday night. He was arrested and then bailed out early Monday morning.
In other words, all of this happened before Tuesdays crucial primary vote, but there was not one word in the news about it, despite the countless number of reporters scratching around New Hampshire desperate for a story.
Indeed, Mr. Blumenthal even appeared on the dais with Hillary for her Tuesday night victory speech. He was also regularly quoted in press accounts of this historic victory without a peep from our watchdog media about his DUI arrest two days before.
Now just imagine if this had been an advisor to a Republican candidate, rather than one of the Clintons most thuggish henchmen. This would have been shouted from the rooftops. It would have been the biggest news since the crash of the Hindenburg.
But the media always protect their masters. Its job number one with them.

Hillary Race Baiting?: "People In Your Neighborhood You Didn't See Before"--"People In Your Neighborhood You Didn't See Before"
Is another man's racial slur. The Obama campaign plays the language cognition card.
Update: "One of the stranger things of an increasingly strange campaign season is to hear that a former President of the United States obsequiously called into the Al Sharpton radio show to sort of apologize?or at least to gain a reprieve from Sharpton for Bill Clinton's supposedly intemperate caricatures of Sen. Obama."
I'm against both Clinton and Obama, but in defense of Clinton, what she was clearly saying in her remark about Martin Luther King and President Johnson was to differentiate between words and actions. King's words about equality rights had to be put into action and it was Johnson who did that.
The point Clinton was making was that Obama is all 'talk and no action'. He's endlessly talking about 'change' and 'hope' and 'the future' but has no practical plan of action on anything that would result in such feelings of 'change, hope in the future'. None.
Obama is a pure propagandist, working on people's emotions to bond them to him. There's no practical plan for any policies; he's attracting them by pure emotion. That's what Clinton was focusing on...and how did the Obama camp deal with this criticism? By diverting attention from the criticism that 'you are all words and no actions' to yet another emotional tactic. Racism.
Claiming that to criticize Martin Luther King is 'an act of racism'. Heh...we are coming to the point where to criticize Barak Hussein Obama is going to be defined as 'an act of racism'.
The Democratic race has two utopians, two sides of the same utopian coin, pitted against each other. Obama is the Talk Guy, pure rhetoric, pure emotion. Clinton is the Authoritarian Social Engineer. Both of them are Big Govt Solves Everything types; both of them reject the individual, both reject critical reasoning and focus only on swaying the peasants by Emotion.
Obama's emotional values are Adoration, Hope, Change and ..now..Pity, ie, racism. Clinton's emotional values are Fear, Authority and Intimidation. She'll sway the peasants to obey out of fear of govt retribution.
Both of them are utopians; both of them set up a system that is forever focused, not on Now and Current Realities...but..on the future. Since your agenda always takes place in the future, you are always unaccountable. Always. If criticized, you will always claim that the situation was meant to be finalized In the Future, and the reason why it isn't final now, is because, you twit, Now is Not The Future.
[Notice the comparison to Stephane Dion, another utopian, who also rejects criticism of his actions of the past and present, claiming that any failures are due to the fact that Now is Not The Future..and IF he had been allowed to govern until The Future...all would be well..eg..his claims about Kyotoism etc).
