Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's likely Republican Senate race challenger charged Monday that the New York Democrat's criticism of the Bush administration "aids and abets our enemies" in the battle against terrorism.
John Spencer's comments to reporters came after a fiery speech to the state Conservative Party leadership in which, during a defense of the Patriot Act, he also attacked the administration of former President Bill Clinton.
"I wish we had it before 9-11," said the former mayor of Yonkers. "And, I wish we had an administration in Washington that wasn't an appeasing, liberal, whining administration in the 90's that allowed the terrorists to build up the way they built up."
There was no immediate comment from the former first lady.
Polls show Spencer trailing far behind Clinton in her bid for a second Senate term, and she has a huge fundraising advantage as well. She is a potential 2008 Democratic presidential candidate.
Asked after his speech about his criticism of Clinton — who voted to authorize sending troops to Iraq but who has been highly critical of President Bush's conduct of the war — Spencer said she "puts politics first in our war on terror and our troops second."
Spencer said that while there was a way to properly criticize the conduct of a war — he cited Republican Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) — "You shouldn't do it with such divisive and blame-America-first methodology, and that's what she does, which aids and abets our enemies."
Lumping Clinton with Sens. John Kerry and Edward Kennedy, Spencer added, "They seem to salivate at what they hope would be bad news for the Bush administration, and that's divisive for our nation."

Billary Clinton will not get mad, she will get even...
I don't like Hillary at all but to say she is aiding and abetting the enemy is over the top and uncalled for.
I am collecting Hillary articles and posting them all here.

Of course with all the Albany crap..
Very good. Overdue.
I don't believe that. Why isn't this guy calling for her to be arrested and tried for treason? Accusing someone - especially a US Senator- of treason is a serious accusation.
I'm sick to death of republicans & conservatives always having to sit quietly while the democrats and their buttbuddies at the liberal media dump on us and accuse us of all kinds of made-up BS. I'm glad this guy is throwing down the hammer on Hitlery. He's got nothing to win or lose and she deserves it after all the "plantation" style speeches she's been spewing lately.
She's going to win the election. The millions of moron NYC liberals will vote for her no matter what.
Uh oh, here come the FBI files, and the one way ticket to Ft. Marcy Park.
I don't particularly care to hear from Spencer until he holds a news conference about her FEC fraud.
Are you serious? Just wondering?
Good read, take no prisoners!
What would you call what she and the rest of the Libs. have been doing?
Though, I'd venture to guess, that dems in NY would vote for her even if she did a photo op with bin laden.

Of course they would! They are morons, that is why they are ThugoRats. Hitlery will run in 2008, and tragically it makes no difference who the Repub candidate is, we MUST vote for that candidate, to keep a frothing Marxist liberal out of the White House....a sickening choice, be we really have none...
