Hillary Threatens GOP with Race Probe

Hillary Threatens GOP with Race Probe

Democratic Party presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is calling for hearings into what she says were Republican attempts to suppress the black vote in recent elections in states like Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina, in a move that throws down the gauntlet to the Bush White House.

On Monday Clinton fired off a letter to incoming Senate Judiciary Chairman Sen. Orrin Hatch demanding a congressional investigation into what she called "recent incidents of voter suppression and intimidation," the New York Daily News said.

Answering critics who accused her of race baiting for raising the issue last week without citing any evidence, the nation's number one Democrat invoked allegations that the GOP had deliberately tried to confuse black voters about the date of the runoff between Louisiana's incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger Suzie Terrell.

The flyer, which Clinton said had been distributed exclusively in black neighborhoods, read, "Bad Weather? No Problem. If the weather is uncomfortable on Election Day (Dec. 7), remember you can wait and cast your ballot on Tuesday December 10th." In fact there was no rain date on Dec. 10.

Clinton's challenge puts the Bush White House in a particularly awkward position, since its decision to usher former Sen. Majority Leader Trent Lott out the door last Friday was widely seen as a confession that the GOP is vulnerable on racial issues.

Worse still, Republican Party strategists have declined to fight back against Democrat smears, allowing critics to successfully paint the GOP as racist.

A good portion of the conservative media has also been asleep at the wheel. Only on Monday, for instance - a full 72 hours after Lott's departure - did the Wall Street Journal editorial page finally challenge Democrats over one of their own racial glass houses; former Ku Klux Klan member Robert Byrd , who, as the Senate's president pro-tem, is third in the line of succession to the presidency.

The Journal's devastating dissection of the Democrat's Byrd hypocrisy notwithstanding, the information might have come in handy for the paper's wide readership before the decision was made to throw Lott under the bus. Would Democrats, for instance, have been able to keep the GOP on the defensive for two solid weeks if they knew several of their own might be held accountable?

For conservative writers to wait this long to introduce its readers to the Senate's ex-Klansman amounts to little more than closing the barn door after the horses have already left. Still, maybe now others will follow the Journal's lead.

The double standard epitomized by the media's Byrd cover-up is so bad that Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-NY, was actually able to go on a national radio program last week and declare with a straight face that he had no idea that the West Virginia Democrat had twice used the term "white nigger" on national television last year.

Will the White House and the Republican Congress continue taking it on the chin as 2004 presidential frontrunner Hillary race-baits her way all the way back into the Oval Office? Or will they introduce America to Bill Clinton's real record on race when he and his wife ran Arkansas, where the NAACP sued him for intimidating black voters at the polls, and, according to multiple witnesses, he was no stranger to the "N"-word himself.

It is time to ask HillaRat and her minions about Race. You would think listening to PravdABC, that the Dems don’t have a racist bone in their bodies?? This card has got to be paid for and there is a simple way to make them pay. What has the DemocRat Party done for Blacks in the past 50 years??? What improvements have they enjoyed for their blind loyalty and race bashing over the last 50 years? Where is the improvement in living conditions from 50 years of the Great Society? Where are the improved schools or the ability to go to private schools like HillaRat’s, Jesse’s and Kennedy’s kids?? Why are they locked in schools that don’t work while the race baiters kids won’t even drive by in their limos on the way to their private schools?

It is time to face the cannon fire of the racist names and bring vouchers up to the front. If Lott is a racist because he complimented a 100 year old man, then what about the Plantation Owners??? Who needs segregation when you can lock the Blacks in the inner city and then move to the suburbs where the better schools and families live??

Have HillaRat explain to the middle class blacks why they cannot have vouchers to prepare their kids for a college education. The main way that minorities have enjoyed upward mobility throughout history is Education. The education system is failing right now and it can completely be dropped on the feet of Dems. They have been owned by the NEA and have done whatever the Teachers Unions asked at the detriment of Blacks and Hispanics. How RACIST is that??

HillaRat and her thugs would rather wallow in NEA money than allow a Black child the chance to have the same education Chelsea had. Rather than ruffle the NEA feathers they just support quotas in colleges for Black kids who have no preparation to succeed in those colleges. This means that the Blacks go to these colleges in front of others who are prepared and waste a seat when they drop out and head for a dead end job and back to the hood. The KKK thanks the DemoKKKRats!

HillaRat and her lynch mob have got to explain why they cannot lift up a Black like Clarence Thomas because he is the wrong color of Conservative. A Black raising from poverty to the Supreme Court is not supposed to happen in a DemoKKKrat world. How do they explain Condoleza Rice and Colin Powell reaching such heights in a Republican administration? This is the most base form of racism, racism of the mind. How different is this than Jim Crow Laws?

HillaRat has got to explain why her mafia in Planned Parenthood has put more abortion clinics in Black and Hispanic neighborhoods than White neighborhoods? Why do they abort more Black and Hispanic babies than White babies. The reason was stated by the mother of modern abortion Margaret Sanger, the need to weed the society of poor and colored; her and Hitler’s words. Abortion is inherently racist in that it focuses on Blacks and the most brutal and aggressive clinics are placed in those Black neighborhoods. This also explains the highest rates of injury and death during abortion to Black women.

Sure HillaRat and her mob can scare the Blacks back to the Plantation telling them that free thinking is dangerous. Stay chained to the tree of Public Ed. where it is safe. She can say that one misstatement by someone else is a window to their mind while nobody questions that she sent her privileged child to private schools. She can scream that Republicans are Racist hate mongers, but sooner or later we Republicans are going to stand on our hind legs and ask her, ‘WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR BLACKS???? The silence will be deafening.

Merry Christmas

She's scared sh*tless and still stupid enough to listen to McAuliffe.

Well, okay, still stupid.

This cretin is still under the impression that she won the presidency in 2000. Which doesn't speak highly of New York. But I digress..

She's a pathetic, pathological liar, a Marxist, and so deluded that she actually thinks this country can't survive without her.

And that's exactly what mainstream Republicans either don't get or choose to ignore. She epitomizes the Democratic party's smug and arrogant belief that this nation is comprised of 280 million idiots willing to believe her and her incremental socialism.

And maybe, just maybe, there may be a few conservatives who have the stones to actually take a stand and reach out to those 280 million people who never voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

That's just it jwalsh...They ask skewed questions and when the outrage comes to boil, the ones that were polled can't just jump up and say "I said YES, but I didn't mean it that way" without looking foolish, so they clam up from embarassment & let it go rather than join the offended.

If votes were supressed, then is Hitlery saying her twin cheated and supressed black votes?

It will be ugly, and she'll immediately claim this is an attempt to smear her by the Bush Administration (especially if she flips - OMG - and runs this time despite her lies not to).

I'd love to see a DeLay in the Senate though take her on. Maybe Hatch could suggest that since it would be inappropriate for the Senate to investigate themselves (well outside of Ethics - ROTFL), he's turning it over to the House to investigate!

Yeah, like that would ever happen (commercial flashback coming) hey you never know!

dont you need to control the senate committees to launch a probe and hillary you dont.

she is already overplayed her hand for this will backfire just like enron, worldcom and global crossing whom the dems all demanded hearings which abrubtly became non news stories once it would be revealed that the clintoons an the rest of the dem cronies were quite involved with these companies.

This article from NewsMax, outside of its accurate description of Hildabeast's hypocrisy, is ridiculous in it's specious claims against Bush, Republicans and 'conservative media'.

It was obviously written by someone who was in the small minority of Republicans who thought we should take the whole party down with the sinking Lott ship...as if we owed Chester such loyalty after he proved once again that he had none for us when he endorsed the whole agenda of the race-baiters on BET.

Now the author is whining and putting a negative spin on the outcome in a fit of petulant spite because most of the GOP was smarter than that. (Thank God).

No doubt, this could and should be stuffed down the Dems throats, but does it draw more attention than it deserves?

We don't need to stuff it down their throats. The best way to debate someone on the issues, is to ask questions, not make statements, and not answer unfounded charges. For example: When Hillary opens her piehole the next time, about suppression of the black vote, the simple retort is: "Mrs. Clinton, why don't the blacks that feel they were suppressed, sue the people they feel are responsible, like the good citizens of Arkansas did back in 1988 when they sued your husband for suppressing the black vote"

The next time Billary tries to condemn the republican party for 40 years of racist tendencies towards blacks, the response should be: "Surely you jest. Oh, your serious? Maybe you didn't take history when you were in high school. In the 1960's who tried to lock black children out of white schools, republicans or democrats? Who today, is trying to provide poor inner city kids with the opportunity to go to better schools through a voucher program, and who has denied that opportunity, republicans or democrats? Why are you afraid of educating minorities to the same level as whites? Which party voted 80% infavor of the 1964 civil rights act and which party voted 40% against, republicans or democrats?

The list can go on and on, but the questioner has to have the facts in their frontal lobe, and be able to articulate through ridicule.

Me thinks Hillary raised the question because she expects a supportive Amicus brief to be filed. THEN, they can pounce and say "SEE.SEE. RACIST REPUBS."

Current thought is to deny them the chance and let the SC do the right thing, which they probably will anyway.

BOOK CHARGES: HILLARY CALLED AIDE JEW BA**ARD
DRUDGE REPORT
FRIDAY JULY 14, 2000 12:00:00 ET

**World Exclusive**
**Contains Graphic Description**

Hillary Clinton has angered Jewish voters in New York and nationally with her controversial support of a Palestinian State, and her startling embrace of Yasser Arafat s wife.

Questions remain, and the debate intensifies, as to whether she can win the crucial Jewish vote in New York as she wages a neck-and-neck battle with Congressman Rick Lazio, who has made the Jewish question a campaign issue.

Now, as the race comes down to the wire, a new book is set to explore the first lady s feelings about Jews and anti-Semitic sentiments held by certain Rodham family members. STATE OF A UNION
Biographer Jerry Oppenheimer s new book STATE OF A UNION: INSIDE THE COMPLEX MARRIAGE OF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON will not be released by HARPERCOLLINS until Tuesday, but the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal:

In one particularly shocking passage in the book, Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack by Hillary in which she screams at him, "You fu**ing Jew ba**ard!"
