Hillary Under Fire

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

Alert Alert Alert New video uncovered by our crack news staff proving Hillary was right!!!

Hillary Lying

Admitted Lies

Bill on MLK Day

During an appearance at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem, the nation's first "black" president was caught nodding off.

Ok, we know it's not a Chairman Hillary quote but we couldn't resist.

The following is the discussion as it actually occurred:

RUSSERT: Senator Clinton, Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer has proposed giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. You told the Nashua, New Hampshire, editorial board it makes a lot of sense. Why does it make a lot of sense to give an illegal immigrant a driver's license?

CLINTON: Well, what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is fill the vacuum left by the failure of this administration to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. We know, in New York, we have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally. They are undocumented workers. They are driving on our roads. The possibility of them having an accident that harms themselves or others is just a matter of the odds -- it's probability. So what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is to fill the vacuum. I believe we need to get back to comprehensive immigration reform because no state, no matter how well-intentioned, can fill this gap. There needs to be federal action on immigration reform.

RUSSERT: Does anyone here believe an illegal immigrant should not have a driver's license?

REP. DENNIS KUCINICH (OH): Believe what?

RUSSERT: An illegal immigrant should not have a driver's license.

SEN. CHRIS DODD (CT): Well, this is a privilege. And look, I'm as forthright and progressive on immigration policy as anyone here, but we're dealing with a serious problem here. We need to have people come forward. The idea that we're going to extend this privilege here of a driver's license, I think, is troublesome. And I think the American people are reacting to it. We need to deal with security on our borders; we need to deal with the attraction that draws people here; we need to deal fairly with those who are here -- but this is a privilege. Talk about health care, I have a different opinion. That affects the public health of all of us. But a license is a privilege, and that ought not to be extended, in my view.

CLINTON: Well --

WILLIAMS: Senator, let's --

CLINTON: I just want to add: I did not say that it should be done, but I certainly recognize why Governor Spitzer is trying to do it.

DODD: Now, wait. Wait.

CLINTON: And we have failed --

DODD: Wait a minute.

CLINTON: We have failed --

DODD: No, no, no. You said -- you said yes --

CLINTON: No --

DODD: You thought it made sense to do it.

CLINTON: No, I didn't, Chris. But the point is, what are we going to do with all these illegal immigrants who are driving on the roads?

DODD: Well, that's a legitimate issue. But driver's license goes too far --

CLINTON: Well --

DODD: -- in my view.

CLINTON: Well, you may say that, but what is the identification if somebody runs into you today who is an undocumented worker --

DODD: There's ways of dealing with that.

CLINTON: Well, but --

DODD: This is a privilege, not a right.

CLINTON: Well, what Governor Spitzer has agreed to do is to have three different licenses: one that provides identification for actually going onto airplanes and other kinds of security issues; another, which is an ordinary driver's license; and then, a special card that identifies the people who would be on the road. So, it's not the full privilege.

DODD: That's a bureaucratic nightmare.

RUSSERT: Senator Clinton, I just want to make sure what I heard. Do you, the New York Senator Hillary Clinton, support the New York governor's plan to give illegal immigrants a driver's license? You told the Nashua, New Hampshire, paper it made a lot of sense.

CLINTON: It --

RUSSERT: Do you support his plan?

CLINTON: You know, Tim, this is where everybody plays gotcha. It makes a lot of sense. What is the governor supposed to do? He is dealing with a serious problem. We have failed, and George Bush has failed. Do I think this is the best thing for any governor to do? No. But do I understand the sense of real desperation, trying to get a handle on this? Remember, in New York, we want to know who's in New York. We want people to come out of the shadows. He's making an honest effort to do it. We should have passed immigration reform.

WILLIAMS: New subject. Senator Edwards, you have young children. As you know, the Internet can be a bit of a cultural Wild West. Assuming a lot of homes don't have parental support, would you be in favor of any government guidelines on Internet content?

EDWARDS: For children and try to protect children and using technology to protect children? I would. I want to add something that Chris Dodd just said a minute ago, because I don't want it to go unnoticed. Unless I missed something, Senator Clinton said two different things in the course of about two minutes just a few minutes ago, and I think this is a real issue for the country. I mean, America is looking for a president who will say the same thing, who will be consistent, who will be straight with them. Because what we've had for seven years is doubletalk from Bush and from Cheney, and I think America deserves us to be straight.

It's amateur hour on the left�..as usual.

Hillary Vs. Paul

In a scene from a new documentary, Hillary Clinton thanks Peter Paul for hosting an Aug. 12, 2000, Hollywood gala and fundraiser for her Senate campaign Hollywood filmmakers normally inclined to support candidates such as Sen. Hillary Clinton are working quietly behind the scenes to put the finishing touches on a documentary alleging the New York Democrat committed felonies to get elected and assisted her husband in defrauding a major donor.

"The producers are essentially liberal Hollywood Democrats who fear exposure and retribution," said Jim Nesfield, director of the Equal Justice Foundation of America, which is sponsoring the hour-long film, "Hillary Uncensored."

Over the past two weeks, the trailer for the documentary became the No. 1-most viewed piece on Google's video site, even though it was unlisted. The 13-minute video was posted July 18 but only recently became exposed through blog references, and it now has more than 860,000 views.

Hillary on New Taxes Decoded

Dick Morris has decoded Hillary's tax plan for us:

She says that she will "�let President Bush's tax cuts for top earners expire." Most people assume that this pledge means that she will raise the top bracket (for those earning more than $200,000 a year) on income taxes from the 35 percent to which Bush cut it, to the 39.6 percent to which her husband raised it in 1993.
It also likely means increasing the tax on capital gains from the current 15 percent to at least 20 percent and probably to the 30 percent level backed by most liberals. Some even believe she may eliminate capital gains taxation entirely and tax it at the same rate as ordinary income.
She certainly would repeal Bush's tax cut halving the tax rate on dividends and would raise it from its current 15 percent to 30 percent. She would also most likely end the planned elimination of the estate tax and probably reduce the size of estates subject to the tax.
She has specifically refused to rule out a big increase in Social Security (FICA) taxes. This levy is currently enforced on the first $97,000 of income. Hillary would probably follow the lead of Democratic liberals and either raise the limit - at least doubling it - or eliminating it altogether. A self-employed American making $250,000 a year currently pays $12,125 in FICA taxes (12.5 percent x $97,000). If the threshold were eliminated, his FICA tax would jump to $31,250!
Hillary would likely use the repeal of the AMT (which nobody ever envisioned reaching these levels) as the lynchpin to claim that she is not increasing taxes but just redistributing them so as not to hurt the middle class. But the reality would be a vast increase in tax revenues and a major increase in the redistribution effect of the tax code.
Hillary attacks the Bush administration for "going back to the era of the robber barons." She says, "It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few by the few, and for the few. Time to reject the idea of an 'on your own' society and to replace it with a shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a 'we're all in it together society.'"
Hillary told a San Francisco audience in 2004: "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." And, speaking in New Hampshire on May 30, 2007, she said she would "raise taxes on upper-income Americans and eliminate breaks for corporations."

Hillary on the Ahmedinajad Visit to Columbia U.

When asked her opinion of the dictator's upcoming visit she said:

Fox: "Well, I'm going to leave that up to Columbia, but I was outraged that he wanted to go to Ground Zero and did speak out very forcefully, and thankfully he will not go to Ground Zero.�

CNN (to a follow-up): "Well, if I were a president of the university, I would not have invited him. He's a Holocaust denier. He's a supporter of terrorism. But I also respect the right in our country to make different decisions."

The queen of moral equivication strikes again. Coming on the heels of her failure to condemn the MoveOn.org ad she represents the worst qualities in a politician...an unwillingness to offend anybody means she stands for nothing. A real profile in courage. How in the world is she ever going to stand up to our enemies?

Hillary on Petraeus

Hillary's insult to the General at the hearing on Sept. 11, 2007:

"The reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief."

Excerpted from William Kristol's article: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/143mzktn.asp

On September 20, 2007, Senator Hillary Clinton voted for a convoluted Democratic resolution to condemn (without naming it) the ad in which MoveOn.org referred to the U.S. commander in Iraq as "General Betray Us," while also condemning attack ads from Max Cleland's 2002 Senate race and John Kerry's 2004 presidential run. (Power Line's John Hinderaker noted: "So, in the Democrats' view, General Petraeus is just another politician and MoveOn's slander is just another campaign ad.") The measure failed to get the requisite 60 votes. Later that day, worried about the party's leftist activists, Clinton (along with 23 other Democrats) voted against the following resolution:

To express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.

This isn't the first time Hillary Clinton has voted for General Petraeus before voting against him. She voted to confirm him for his fourth star and his new position on January 26, 2007, knowing that he would be executing a counterinsurgency strategy backed up by a surge of troops. Less than two months later, as the new strategy was just beginning to show results, she supported a motion to reverse course, begin to pull out troops, and abandon the new strategy.

Hillary's Hypocrisy -- by Dick Morris

Published on TheHill.com on September 5, 2007.

The winner of the Hypocrite of the Year award goes to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). Even though the year is far from over and is likely to have its fair share of hypocrisy, Mrs. Clinton's comment on the need to compromise to achieve political and social progress has to outclass any other current or future entrant.

This woman, who refused to change a comma or a word of her thousand-page-plus healthcare reform bill and, as a result of her intractable stubbornness, sent the bill down to defeat along with the Democratic Congress and almost her husband's presidency, is daring to show herself now as the apostle of compromise.

Unbelievable.

Here's what she recently said:

"Ultimately, to bring change, you have to know when to stand your ground, and when to find common ground. You need to know when to stick to principles and fight, and know when to make principled compromises. You can't always demand everything your own way, or you'll never get anything done."

For Hillary to give a sermon on compromise in politics is a bit like the Ayatollah preaching religious tolerance. This is the same woman who:

Refused to release the Whitewater documents, triggering the appointment of a special prosecutor;
Wouldn't settle the Paula Jones suit - with no apology, admission or damages required - out of simple stubbornness;
Insisted on the secrecy of her healthcare reform task force's deliberations until a federal court ruled her position invalid and who still won't release her first lady healthcare reform documents until after the election;
Insisted on the travel office firings even when they became a total political embarrassment;
Will still not apologize for her vote for the Iraq war.

And, in the Senate, where she pretends to have developed her penchant for compromise, she still has not succeeded in passing a single major piece of legislation.

Compromise was not, to put it mildly, uppermost in her thinking in 1993 and 1994. After it was clear that her healthcare package was doomed to defeat, I suggested that she adopt a fallback position and support the bill first introduced by Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.). The Dole bill provided for portability of healthcare benefits as workers migrated from job to job. Dole had filed it in the heady days of 1993, when healthcare reform was still popular. Needing a Republican alternative to Hillary's program, he proposed this important reform.

Knowing that Dole would have to let it pass because it was his bill, I urged Hillary to push the Dole bill, arguing that she could take the achievement to the nation in 1996 as evidence of progress on healthcare.

She rejected the idea out of hand, as she did all healthcare compromises, insisting that "unless we fix the whole system, we'll just make things worse." She said that "if we tinker with this change or that change, it will be like squeezing a balloon. One end will be smaller but the other will just get larger." She worried that insurance companies would raise their rates if the bill passed.

Now she is the bearer of the torch of compromise. If we could believe her conversion was sincere, it would make her less dangerous as a possible president. But it clearly is not. Her newfound desire for compromise is driven by her nee d to appeal simultaneously to the Democratic base and general electorate. She has to explain to the partisans of the left why she must adopt positions tailored to win the November election on the Iraq war and other issues.

Her advocacy of compromise is just one part of her Labor Day repositioning. She has also changed her campaign slogan from "Experience" to "Change + Experience," because she feels uncomfortable ceding the ground of change in a Democratic primary to Obama. Of course, the only change that her candidacy seems to offer is a different first name in the perennial Bush/Clinton dichotomy that has gripped the nation for the past 20 years.

In reality, Hillary's focus on compromise and the need for change takes place aga inst the backdrop of an increasingly successful war in Iraq. With Bush now admitting that some troop withdrawals will be necessary and the Democrats conceding that all the troops cannot be withdrawn, Hillary and the Democratic candidates face the prospect of losing their best issue - the failed war.

So, if your position is increasingly untenable, prepare your voters for compromise.

Hillary's Invisible Ad - No Place to Hide

Hillary: As I travel around America, I hear from so many people who feel like they�re just invisible to their government.
Overly Sincere Voice Over: Hillary Clinton has spent her life standing up for people others don�t see.
Hillary: You know, if you�re a family that is struggling, and you don�t have health care, well you are invisible to this President.
Hillary: If you�re a single mom trying to find affordable child care so you can go to work, well you�re invisible too.
Hillary: And I never thought I would see that our soldiers who serve in Iraq and Afghanistan would be treated as though they were invisible as well.
Hillary: Americans from all walks of life across our country may be invisible to this President, but they�re not invisible to me and they won�t be invisible to the next President of the United States.
Neville's Comment: Don't you wish she was invisible? We will be praying for "invisibility" if we are all forced into the government programs created by this nanny-state loving, big brother, Stalinist wannabe.

Hillary, Bill O'Reilly and Progressives

When asked whether she considers herself a liberal at Monday�s CNN/YouTube debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, said she prefers the word �progressive.�

�I consider myself a modern progressive,� said Clinton. �Someone who believes strongly in individual rights and freedoms, who believes that we are better as a society when we�re working together.� [Isn't that contradictory?]

Debate moderator Anderson Cooper followed up with Sen. Clinton asking, �so you wouldn�t use the word �liberal?� You�d say �progressive?��

Clinton nodded in agreement.

The following is on Hillary's website: (Click on the pic...we will keep the link to her site active as long as she is stupid enough to run with this little temper tantrum)

"TV and radio host Bill O'Reilly likes to take a few comments out of context and use them to smear broad groups of grassroots activists. But a look at the record shows he hosts plenty of guests on his own show who make comments that are way over the line.

Tell Bill O'Reilly to stop smearing grassroots progressives."

Oh Boo Hoo.

The reason Hillary demanded that Bill O'Reilly stop smearing "progressives" (liberals) is because she wants to pander to the Daily Kos whackos at their convention in August 2007 which she is attending along with the other Dem Prez hopefuls.

O'Reilly had recently listed a litany of outrageous comments posted to the site after Jet Blue announced it was sponsoring the convention. Always on the lookout for the little guy and business O'Reilly convinced Jet Blue CEO David Barger to "rethink" his sponsorship after the airline was bombarded with complaints and threats of boycott. As always the bottom line rules all. And the bottom line is anathema to the left.

Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor, Howard Wolfson, Hillary's chief flak, said the comments, some of them insulting to Hillary, were cherry picked. As O'Reilly ticked off each comment Wolfson's response was to blather on about "hundreds of thousands of progressives and good Democrats" and basically sat there looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

Hillary's homepage says "the record shows he hosts plenty of guests on his own show who make comments that are way over the line." What record?...her site doesn't list any names or comments. Whenever a guest on O'Reilly makes an accusation on the show O'Reilly asks for examples. Invariably the accuser can't answer.

Way to go Hillary/Wolfson. Typical liberal....we're sorry...progressive. Is that what you guys are calling yourselves this week?

Hillary At The Third Debate -- June 4, 2007

1) This is George Bush's war. He is responsible for this war, he refuses to end the war. We are speaking out from the outside, and making votes from the inside to try to end the war. We have different approaches. The differences among us are minor, the differences between us and GOP are major.

2) My first priority is to bring the troops home from Iraq.

3) I'm thrilled that universal health care is back on the agenda. I have the scars to show for that experience. The most importnat is not the plan. We're all talking about essentially the same thing. You've got to have the political will, broad coalition everybody standing firm when the inevitable attacks come from insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies.

Hillary On the Economy

Hillary has always denied that she received special treatment in her cattle futures trade that netted her $100,000 from a $1,000 investment. Interestingly, she did not report these gains, which she earned in 1980, until they were discovered by the press in 1994. But she is "concerned" about what she characterizes as excessive oil company profits.

By the way, Hugo Chavez is nationalizing the Venezuela oil and telecommunications industries. Et tu Hillary?

"Take those profits and put them into an alternative energy fund that will begin to find alternative smart energy, alternatives that will actually begin to move us toward the direction of independence."

"We're not coming to you, many of whom are well enough off that actually the tax cuts may have helped you, and say 'we're going to give you more.' We're saying, 'you know what, for America to get back on track and be fiscally responsible, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." Source: 7/3/04 New York Post, correction to AP story

"We are at a stage in history in which remolding society is one of the great challenges facing all of us in the West." Hillary during her 1993 commencement address at the University of Texas, shortly after she and Bill were elected "co-presidents" in 1992.

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society" Hillary as first lady.

"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices.... Government has to make those choices for people" Hillary to Rep. Dennis Hastert in 1993 discussing her health care plan.

"I am a fan of the social policies that you find in Europe" Hillary in 1996.

"I think it does take a village to raise a child" Hillary on C-SPAN in 2005.

Hillary On The War

Hillary initially responded to 9/11 by supporting President Bush's strategy of taking on not just terrorists but the states that harbor them. She also voted for the war in Iraq and has refused to follow much of her party in alleging that Mr. Bush "lied" about weapons of mass destruction.

But as Hillary runs for the Democratic Presidential nomination, she has taken a sharp turn to the left. Pressured by Obama and the MoveOn.org crowd, she has renounced her hawkish statements. Is she pandering to the left or is this what she really believes? Here's a summary Hillary's Iraq comments:

October 10, 2002 - Hillary addresses the Senate on the use-of-force resolution. "The facts that have brought us to this fateful vote are not in doubt," she declares, citing Saddam's record of using chemical weapons, the invasion of Kuwait, and his history of deceiving U.N. weapons inspectors. "As a result, President Clinton, with the British and others, ordered an intensive four-day air assault, Operation Desert Fox, on known and suspected weapons of mass destruction sites and other military targets," she continues, adding that Saddam "has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. I believe the authority to use force to enforce that mandate is inherent in the original 1991 U.N. resolution, as President Clinton recognized when he launched Operation Desert Fox in 1998."

December 15, 2003 - It is clear by now that no large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction will be found in Iraq. But Mrs. Clinton tells the Council on Foreign Relations that "Yesterday was a good day. I was thrilled that Saddam Hussein had finally been captured. . . . We owe a great debt of gratitude to our troops, to the President, to our intelligence services, to all who had a hand in apprehending Saddam. Now he will be brought to justice. I was one who supported giving President Bush the authority, if necessary, to use force against Saddam Hussein. I believe that that was the right vote." As for Iraq's prospects, she declares herself "a little optimistic and a little pessimistic . . . We have no option but to stay involved and committed."

April 20, 2004 - Hillary tells Larry King: "I don't regret giving the President the authority because at the time it was in the context of weapons of mass destruction, grave threats to the United States, and clearly, Saddam Hussein had been a real problem for the international community for more than a decade." Asked whether she thinks she was "fooled," she replies: "The consensus was the same, from the Clinton Administration to the Bush Administration. It was the same intelligence belief that our allies and friends around the world shared about the weapons of mass destruction."

October 2005 - As antiwar fervor on the left is increasing, and activist Cindy Sheehan compares her to Rush Limbaugh after Hillary tells the Village Voice: "My bottom line is that I don't want their sons to die in vain. . . . I don't believe it's smart to set a date for withdrawal . . . I don't think it's the right time to withdraw."

November 2005 - Hillary posts a letter to constituents that marks her first dovish turn. "If Congress had been asked [to authorize the war], based on what we know now, we never would have agreed,". But invoking retired General Eric Shinseki's estimate of more American troops necessary to pacify Iraq, she demands not withdrawal but a new plan: "It is time for the President to stop serving up platitudes and present us with a plan for finishing this war with success and honor--not a rigid timetable that terrorists can exploit, but a public plan for winning and concluding the war."

August 3, 2006 - Hillary calls for Donald Rumsfeld to resign as Defense Secretary, asking for "new leadership that would give us a fighting chance to turn the situation around before it's too late."

December 18, 2006 - As her announcement to run for president nears Hillary's march to the left gains speed. On NBC's "Today" show, she renounces her war vote unequivocally for the first time: "I certainly wouldn't have voted that way."

January 13, 2007 - From Baghdad, Hillary responds to Mr. Bush's plan for the troop surge: "I don't know that the American people or the Congress at this point believe this mission can work. And in the absence of a commitment that is backed up by actions from the Iraqi government, why should we believe it?"

January 17, 2007 - Hillary calls for a troop cap in Iraq, saying she will introduce legislation to do so. And while she says she won't block money for the troops, she suggests withholding funds for the Iraqi government. It is precisely such a funds cut-off to the South Vietnamese government in 1975 that led to the final U.S. flight from Saigon.

January 27, 2007 - On the campaign trail in Iowa, Hillary demands that President Bush "extricate our country from this before he leaves office." And she promises that, if elected, she will end the war quickly.
