The Clintons' Terror Pardons

It was nearly 10 p.m. on New Year's Eve, 1982. Two officers on New York Police Department's elite bomb squad rushed to headquarters at One Police Plaza, where minutes earlier an explosion had destroyed the entrance to the building. Lying amid the carnage was Police Officer Rocco Pascarella, his lower leg blasted off. "He was ripped up like someone took a box cutter and shredded his face," remembered Detective Anthony Senft, one of the bomb-squad officers who answered the call 25 years ago. "We really didn't even know that he was a uniformed man until we found his weapon, that's how badly he was injured." About 20 minutes later, Mr. Senft and his partner, Richard Pastorella, were blown 15 feet in the air as they knelt in protective gear to defuse another bomb. Detective Senft was blinded in one eye, his facial bones shattered, his hip severely fractured. Mr. Pastorella was blinded in both eyes and lost all the fingers of his right hand. A total of four bombs exploded in a single hour on that night, including at FBI headquarters in Manhattan and the federal courthouse in Brooklyn. The perpetrators were members of Armed Forces of National Liberation, FALN (the Spanish acronym), a clandestine terrorist group devoted to bringing about independence for Puerto Rico through violent means. Its members waged war on America with bombings, arson, kidnappings, prison escapes, threats and intimidation. The most gruesome attack was the 1975 Fraunces Tavern bombing in Lower Manhattan. Timed to go off during the lunch-hour rush, the explosion decapitated one of the four people killed and injured another 60. FALN bragged about the bloodbath, calling the victims "reactionary corporate executives" and threatening: "You have unleashed a storm from which you comfortable Yankees can't escape."

These Clintons have got to be the most venal, corrupt, slimy pair of dysfunctional criminal goof balls since Bonnie And Clyde.

Exactly, yet these things aren't being ranted about during this primary season. Too busy beating up Obama. He's the least of our worries.

Finally, an anti-Hillary article. Where have all the Clinton haters gone? It’s Hillary and her impeached husband we need to worry about, not Obama. His performance last night proved that. We need to take her down.... before it’s too late.

[marktwain]

An exceptionally well done piece. A lot of stuff I did not know. The MSM has done a good job of keeping this under wraps.

[popdonnelly]

Further evidence, if any is needed, that the Clintons have NO regard for the people they are supposed to represent. I can’t trust people like the Clintons in government.

[jersey117]

Hillary is supposed to be so experienced in national security. Democrats haven’t even mentioned terrorism under Clinton’s watch. I think Hillary is the one getting a total pass from the media.

[Calpernia]

I often think, if we were in a real war on terror, the Clintons wouldn’t still be roaming free.

Hitlery is experienced in the foreign policy.
When she was six, she opened the Atlas and looked at them purdy maps (while dodging sniper bullets). Magine, 50 years of experience and 35 in the (Whoreintern)White House.

Great Post! Thanks for sharing!

Tom and Joe Connor, two brothers who were little boys when their 33-year-old father, Frank, was killed in the Fraunces Tavern attack, were dumbstruck to learn that White House staffers referred to the FALN militants as "political prisoners" and were planning a meeting with their children to humanize their plight.

Apparently the Clintons didn't feel the pain of Tom and Joe Connor.

Where have all the Clinton haters gone?

Present! NEVER count the Clintons out! I still think Obama will be forced to step aside for some reason before the convention. If that happens, the MSM will be back on the Clinton bandwagon in a second.

I'll be surprised if you get 50 replies to this...now, if this thread was titled with Obama and Terror anything, you'd have 50 replies in the first 5 minutes.

Apparently hillary has become Mother Teresa to many FReepers now.

[top 2 toe red]

That's the truth! I swear I think hillary and her operatives have now infiltrated this site or some crazy clinton cool-aid is being passed around...?!?

[top 2 toe red]

So do I! Last night it was Charlie, Steffie and hillary all pounding Obama and that broad was just smugly thinking to herself, I knew Charlie and George would see things my way when I said, “I have folders.”

15 down, 35 to go.

[top 2 toe red]

Lol...and three, now four, are by me.

Well, if you're dead set on proving your point, I'd reluctantly allow you to subtract your posts plus my replies, recalibrate your prediction to read;

There.

No way I'm getting 42 total on this.

Lol...No, that's ok.

You know, I would have LOVED to have been forced to eat crow on this one, and I would have done so with relish...even though I'm a vegetarian. ;^)
