News Flash: Hillary Clinton Did Her Job
I love how all of a sudden everyone is going out of their way to find new ways to discredit Hillary Clinton. Drudge, bastion of all things correct, proper, and interesting, posted the following headline (it was in red earlier today):
LAWYER HILLARY GRILLED 12-YEAR OLD OVER ‘RAPE’; attacked child’s credibility…
Hmmmm… So what’s the whole story? From the linked article…
Hillary Rodham Clinton often invokes her “35 years of experience making change” on the campaign trail, recounting her work in the 1970s on behalf of battered and neglected children and impoverished legal-aid clients.
But there is a little-known episode Clinton doesn’t mention in her standard campaign speech in which those two principles collided. In 1975, a 27-year-old Hillary Rodham, acting as a court-appointed attorney, attacked the credibility of a 12-year-old girl in mounting an aggressive defense for an indigent client accused of rape in Arkansas - using her child development background to help the defendant.
The case offers a glimpse into the way Clinton deals with crisis. Her approach, then and now, was to immerse herself in even unpleasant tasks with a will to win, an attitude captured in one of her favorite aphorisms: “Bloom where you’re planted.”
So… As a court-appointed attorney, she vigorously defended her client.
The nerve of her.
Next thing you know they’ll be telling us she paid parking tickets.

Eh, it’s Matt Drudge, we’re talking about… I don’t think anyone with half a brain takes the Drudge Report seriously.

I have read this report before and it is very sad how Hillary discredited the 12 year old victim. I have long known Hillary has no respect for her fellow girls/women. When Bill was attorney general and governor of Arkansas, He sexually exploited 100+ women and young ladies; when some came forward with accusations of rape or that they had an affair with Bill, Hillary was right there discrediting these women and young ladies. During those years, Bill was involved in drug trafficking out of the Mena Arkansas Airport and in drug money laundering. The Rose Firm where Hillary worked as involved in this as well. Perhaps that is one reason why she had so many Rose Firm documents shredded?? He was also a cocaine user clear into his 40s. I would not be surprised if he continued to “use” while in the White House…somewhere in the back of my mind I recall several in the White House were fired because of drug use. His brother, Roger, was involved in the drug trafficking in Arksnsas as well, and from I have read, Hillary’s brothers are both druggies. Ever wonder why they aren’t out there campaigning for her??
I highly encourage everyone to google and view “THE CLINTON CHRONICLES” free audio on the net.

Nina, you’re a moron. As a lawyer, she’s obligated to do exactly what she’s did. I hope one day if you need a lawyer, you get one that won’t do his or her job because of some strange morality.
As for the rest of your stuff, it’s so far into the realm of kookdom, it warrants no response.

This is the same stupid line of attack that was used on Deval Patrick in the governor’s race in 2006. It backfired big time. Although there’s a chance this one could have legs nationally.

Of course it could. The masses are asses. Hell, I’ll bet there are plenty of people who believe Obama is a muslim because his name is Obama.

We already whatever the woman says always somehow makes her an evil liberal (but nowadays not liberal enough) bitch. What gets me is the growing stupidity of the public. Will they ever learn??!! Some idiot–probably multiple idiots by now–keep posting a purported comparison of Hillary’s and Obama’s Senate Records all over the internet. (Here’s one example: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/02/hillary_clinton_lets_get_real.html). The only problem is that they compare Obamma’s 8-yr Illinois State Senate Record with Hillary’s 6-yr US Senate Record. Not to mention that the post has the usual features of shorting her accomplishments and embelishing Obama’s (they have to make him look competent somehow, he,he…). I actually took the time to look up both of their US Senate records DURING THE SMAE TIME PERIOD (sponsored legislation that passed the Senate) and Hillary blows him away, as expected. She sponsored 13 bills to his 7, and cosponsored 204 to his 147 i n the same time period. I really think you should have something about this on your website because as we have seen, more and more sh#t sticks to the wall when it consinues to be thrown. Vinny, you–and anyone else readign this for that matter–can pull up US Senate records results by going to the library of congress website and doing the following:
Advanced Search at http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d110query.html and selecting the following fields:
Congress #
Senator (Clinton or Obama)
Sponsor (search #1), Co-Sponsor (search #2)
Passed/agreed to in Senate
Note that some of the pieces of legislation will be listed multiple times…Probably because they were changed and reintroduced? I don’t claim to know these things.
Signed,
A modest atheist

Man, Vinny, your site has attracted quite a few ‘tards lately.
But, seriously, here’s a link to the history with which we should all be familiar before voting…

Dude, the ‘documentary’ is actually REALLY, REALLY funny. It’s even better if you read the Wikipedia blurp first…
