Hillary/Email is a hoax
email/fwd ^ | 09/13/01 | various

Posted on 09/13/2001 12:51:34 PM PDT by gungatendo

There's an email going around giving HRC's contact information claiming that you should contact her and tell her to give back the money (fundraising) she took from Pakistan during her last campaign.

Now I like to bash her majesty as much as the next guy but as far as I know she took money from Palestine, not Pakistan -- the whole Suda Arafat thing, if she took money at all.

Now is not the time to dissipate our energy with this kind of nonsense. I encourage you that if you get the email you reply all and tell them it's a hoax.

Sorry, but I don't want to post the text and give it justice.

Too bad they didn't send a factual e-mail. There's no dearth of material.

Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe ms. clinton's folks started this so she can come out and say she didn't give money to Pakistan and how the vrwc members are not telling the truth about her?

If that's the case then this is some slick spin indeed. Personally I'd like to see a real email, started with the Palestine stuff and ending with showing that photo of the children dancing in the streets.

As I understand it, not only did she receive money from Pakistan, she received it from Afghanistan as well.

If that's the case I'd like to see an email that is sourced, gives proof, etc. I don't know the particulars of that situation but as far as I know you can't just accept money from a foreign government only individuals.

Regardless, it's one thing getting (justifiably?) angry with her for being a shill and it's another thing to call her office, demanding she return the money, and look like a bunch of nuts.

"Of greater interest is the fact that HRC accepted campaign money from the American Muslim Council, a known front for Islamic terrorist groups, and fraudulently recorded it as a donation from the American Museum Council. "

Yeah. I'd totally forgotten that fact.

Thanks, this needs to be remembered

Actually, it's a very good move. These emails get very large circulation, and the well deserved message is going to the email recipent, not hrc.

How the Pakistanis Woo Hillary Clinton

A P Kamath

Many Pakistanis in America are convinced that Bill Clinton turned America's back on their country and openly sided with India during his recent visit to the subcontinent. But they also believe they are having their own sweet revenge.

The First Lady seems to be beholden to the Pakistanis in New York where she is fighting a very expensive Senate race. Each side is spending about $ 10 million. Though she has attended several fund-raisers by Indian Americans like the one held by Sant Chatwal, owner of the Bombay Palace chain of restaurants, and is bound to attend a few more, she seems to be clearly enjoying the backing of Pakistanis.

Pakistanis, unlike Indians, are late comers to the money-giving scene but they are learning fast.

"If we are raising $ 50,000 for her cause," says an Indian businessman, "the Pakistanis surely want to raise three times the amount."

She has fallen for their goat curries, rice and endearment, many people believe. Many Indian American community leaders admit that their community failed to take the initiative and organize a number of big fund-raisers for Hillary Clinton.

"We were too busy wooing Clinton and demanding that he should not go to Pakistan," the Indian businessman continued. "But our opponents quietly networked with the President's wife."

Some political observers believe that Hillary thinks Indians in New York state will vote for a Democratic candidate anyway, but she also wants the votes of Pakistanis. There could be about 50,000 votes at stake from Pakistanis and about 100,000 in the Indian community in New York State. Her Pakistani supporters are also found in the neighboring states of Connecticut and New Jersey.

Former White House counsel Lanny Davis, who is now a Washington lobbyist and image builder for Pakistani government, has played an important role in bringing the First Lady and Pakistanis in New York closer. Many Pakistanis and Indians are convinced that a fund-raiser held for Hillary in New York by the Pakistanis a few days before her husband decided to have a whistle-stop visit to Pakistan, owes a lot to Davis. It raised about $ 50,000, with a promise of bigger fund-raisers to come. Pakistani businessmen and doctors, not to forget many cab drivers, also worked hard to make an impression on Hillary.

"We are going to help her in any way she wants help," says Mohammad Siddiqui, a livery taxi driver. "On the day of voting, we will help the older people, free of charge, to go to the polling booth."

New York's immigrant cab drivers include about 10,000 from Pakistan. They dislike Hillary's opponent, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, because he has increased the fines on erring taxi drivers.
Wood vendors in Manhattan, many of them Pakistanis, also dislike Giuliani because he has forbidden them to operate on some of the key avenues in Manhattan -- in the name of creating a cleaner city.

"We also volunteer in her campaign," the cab driver says, adding that it is wrong to say that only rich Pakistani doctors and businessmen are backing Hillary.

"She understands us, she knows what is happening in Kashmir -- and being a lady, she feels our pain. She is very loyal to us."

Okay I'll eat crow. I had no idea of the extent of her majesty's awfulness.

Why don't we do this thread some justice and come up with an email for passing around that is accurate to a "t"? Is there a hillary expert out there?

I don't know about Pakistan money, but I'm positive she accepted campaign funds from groups who, while not terrorists, at least supported terrorist causes. Part of it was actually returned, once the publicity got a little uncomfortable--but not all.

You are probably right on this one (as you are so often).

Your right Pakistani Lanni worked hard for HRC as did the Muslim council. She probably took money from all sides of every issue. She has no honor nor any shame.

Ditto that. She only gave the money back after this item was printed in the Daily News.

Maybe we should be combing her FEC reporting of donations just to see who exactly donated to the wife of slick. She is also running several PACs that have to make reports. It might be interesting to see just who is supporting this unethical woman!
