Hil asks for probe of La. runoff
New York Daily News ^ | 12/24/02 | Kenneth R. Bazinet

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton yesterday challenged critics who accused her of race-baiting to investigate alleged attempts to suppress the black vote in the South.

Clinton (D-N.Y.) fired off a letter to incoming Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), calling on him to "conduct hearings and an investigation of the recent incidents of voter suppression and intimidation."

One case cited by Clinton involved the Senate runoff election earlier this month in Louisiana, in which Sen. Mary Landreau (D-La.) was reelected.

A flyer distributed in black neighborhoods read: "Bad Weather? No problem! If the weather is uncomfortable on election day , remember you can wait and cast your ballot on Tuesday, December 10th."

There was no voting in Louisiana on Dec. 10, only Dec. 7.

"Such conduct is reprehensible and serves only to undermine our democracy," she said.

Democrats say they have dozens of other examples. Clinton infuriated Hatch on Friday when she said the selection of Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) to replace Trent Lott (R-Miss.) as Senate majority leader will not cleanse Republicans of their "constant exploitation of race."

Hatch, whose office did not comment yesterday, had accused Clinton on Sunday of race-baiting.

"I think every Republican is working hard to try to be good to minorities and do what's right," Hatch told ABC's "This Week." "But we can't support some of the far-left, extreme approaches toward race."

There are four reason why this is going to happen.

Their voting base is a collection of 4 sets of people.

1. The communist left and their moderate ilk, they abort their babies.

2. Homosexuals: they don't breed.

3. Wellfare mothers: since welfare reform there will be less and less of breeders, and the rest just simply can't breed fast enough for all the coming elections.

4. Then of course so many of the black population are finally getting the true picture of how the DEMRATS have kept them slaves to the welfare check and not wanting them to be educated properly, they are turning Republicans.

Just be patient, it will happen. Except then we will have many more RINOS only, they will switch parties to ruin the Republican party, i.e. McCain, that boy has just got to get over being a POW and carrying that grudge against Nixon for so long.

Have a Merry Christmas

Imagine what would happen to the Rats if their black vote totals went from 90% to 85% ... they'd be sunk

Yeah, or like in Philadelphia in 2000, where 105% of registered black voters voted for Gore!

If the Pubbies are smart, they will use this to put South Dakota into play, along with Hillary's antics during the 2000 NY Senate campaign.

Hillary and her operatives are experts at the blame game. I'm sure she knows all about the "Bad Weather" flyers. More than likely, the Dems themselves had them printed and distributed.

If voter fraud failed, and Landrieu lost, they would demand a new election. If Mary "won", they would use "this blatant attempt to suppress voter participation" in their perpetual "smear the racist Repubs" campaign. Florida 2000 ring a bell? Covering all bets.

It's her MO. She ALWAYS accuses her opponents of the sins she herself is committing. Slight-of-hand shell game. Hillary's "First Strike" stRATegy. Evil, pure unadulterated evil!

The fact that such documents exist (in case of bad weather, etc) is not proof of wrongdoing on the part of the RNC. Further, that document is not intimidation of any kind. It appears to be an attempt to trick rather than to intimidate. I say appears because I'm not convinced that the DNC didn't produce those flyers so as to wave them around after the election and gripe about voter "intimidation."

"JessieLee and JakeySteve!!"
(To be sung to Bob Dylan's "FrankieLee and JudasPriest")

Well, JessieLee and JakeySteve,
They were the Best of FRiends!!
So when JessieLee cried out, "JUSTICE or SHAME!!"
Jakey hollered out...MUD's boy could sing!!
We sang, "DemRATS are ALL Fools!!"
Up then walk'd a PUNK called "Macker!!"
MUD said, "Gimme Slick, TerrieBoy!!
Yer loss shall be MUD's gain!!"

Well, MackerBoy, he sat right down
Drew his fingers to his chin,
Folks, with the bold eyes of Mudboy on him,
PUNK's head began to spin.
"Would ya please not stare at me like that," PUNK said,
"Mudboy, I know yer Right!!
Still, you know how RATS must sell their souls...
FReepers just won't let me hide."

Well, Mudboy, he just grinned )8^D! and said,
"Let's FIGHT!! I'll Teach you FEAR!!
PUNK, you'd better hurry 'n TESTIFY...
Yes, you know Willie's SCUM,
'Cuz MUD knows you and Slick are QUEER!!"

"I'm gonna start my quittin' right now,
Just tell me Why You FReep!!"

Mudboy pointed down the road...
And said, "FerLiberty!!"
"FerLiberty?!!" said MackerPee,
Squeeealy voice like a girls in FRight!!
"That's Right," said Mudboy Slim, "FerLiberty...
Good FReepers call it 'PARADISE!!'"

"I won't give you Slick, Mudboy!!"
Said McAuliffe oh so Vile....
"All Right," said Mudboy Slim,
"We'll FReep ya 'til ya RESIGN!!"

Well, MackerPUNK, he kneeled right down...
Terry kissed MUD's hairy feet...
When just then a dude named Limbaugh...
Burst upon the scene,
Saying, "Are you Mudboy Slim, the FReeper,
Whose father captain'd ships?!
'Cuz if you are,
There's some jackass callin' you WHACKO!!
And they say his name is Slick."

"Woah, Rush...Slick ain't MUD's FRiend,"
Said Mudboy Slim that night,
"I do recall Slick very well,
Clinton, he shall feel MUD's Bite!!"

"Yes, yer the one," said El Rushbo,
Sitin' the the WhiteHouse,
"Well, my message is, 'Mudboy Let's ROLL!!
RE-IMPEACH RATS' LOUSE!!!"

Well, MackerPee, he panicked,
He stopped kissin' Slim and ran...
Until he came up to the spot
Where WillieSlick did stand.
"What kind of man is MUD?" PUNK said,
"Why won't MUD leave US ALONE?!"
"It's not yer House," said Mudboy Slim,
"It's not yer House...it's MUD's Home!!"

Well, WillieSlick, he trembled,
His bowels lost all control!!
Over all the crimes and chicks he'd RAPED...
Now, MUD's Justice was on a roll!!
Slick just stood there staring...
From the BigHouse where we put our SCUM!!
With four and twenty boyfriends...
Just buggerin' SlickWillie's bum. (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!...sorry)

Yes, FReepers still care about our Liberty,
Gettin' JUSTICE, therefore WE FReep!!
And, foamin' at the mouth,
MUD began to make his midnight FReeps.
For sixteen nights and days MUD raved,
But on the seventeenth he burst...
Into the arms of Missuz MUD,
Which is where MUD quenched his thirst!!

(Mudboy HOOtin' on the Harp!!)

Lib'rals tried to save Ol' Slick...
But FReepers swatted them away like pests,
Except, of course, Slick's little Negro boy...
Who they called WillieJeff.
And he just walked along, alone,
With his guilt so well revealed,
And muttered underneath his breath,
"Mudboy Made Slick SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL!!!!"

Well, the moral of the story,
The moral of this song,
Is simply that RATS should never be...
Given Power...Left IS Wrong!!
So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin',
Help him with his load,
But Don't go mis-Votin' fer DemonRATS...
'Cuz they're all just Chi-Com HO's!!

Work in progress...MUD

Fairly clever if you ask me.

But if these people that received this flyer thought it was legitimate, they don't deserve the right to cancel my vote.....

...calling on him to "conduct hearings and an investigation of the recent incidents of voter suppression and intimidation."

Yes, let's investigate recent incidents. While we're at it, let's get all Gorian and bring up incidents from 2000...they had such good documentation of voter intimidation in Florida. Not to mention the suppression of the military votes.....What? We got over it? We got on with life? Oh, OK.

They won't find anything here, either, unless there are carville tracks nearby....

I'm no 'tinfoil-hat-wearer', but I would PUT MONEY on a 'Rat actually spreading these notes.
If history (distant and recent) is any indicator - and it is!; I'd think twice, as a 'Rat, before I'd start demanding investigations into crooked election strategies.

This is SOOOO nice. The clinochhios, being the scum that they are, can only help us as they more and more become the face of the rat party. Remember, hilary clinochhio gave us the House with her med-scheme plan. Then bill clinochhio gave us the presidency with his swine-like behavior. Then both of them helped give us back the stolen Senate. Now let's just step back and watch as the bulls run wild through the rat china shop and hand W an easy re-election in 04!!

This story should be headlined: "HILLARY THINKS BLACK VOTERS ARE STUPID."

Does this moronette actually expect people who aren't ignorant enough to be fooled by the flyer to believe that there was an organized effort by the GOP to keep blacks from voting?

Wait a second -- that's IT! They want to buy the loyalty of the ignorant vote! That should be enough for a margin of victory, right?!

I have never understood the concept of not voting because you don't want to get wet! Should we really be up in arms that people who will let rain get in the way of voting aren't heard from?
