In the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks, several critics have remarked that Bill Clinton has spent a lot of time discussing events in terms of himself — a trait that Clinton has displayed throughout his political career. Now, however, the former president has been outdone by his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In the latest issue of The New Yorker, Mrs. Clinton says that she has come face-to-face with the kind of "unreasoning anger" that appears to have motivated the terrorists who crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Her statements are contained in an article by Nicholas Lemann, based on an interview Lemann conducted with Mrs. Clinton on September 25. "We talked about possible responses to the attack," Lemann writes, "and then I asked her how she thought people would react to knowing that they are on the receiving end of a murderous anger." "Oh, I am well aware that it is out there," Sen. Clinton responded:
One of the most difficult experiences that I personally had in the White House was during the health-care debate, being the object of extraordinary rage. I remember being in Seattle. I was there to make a speech about health care. This was probably August of '94. Radio talk-show hosts had urged their listeners to come out and yell and scream and carry on and prevent people from hearing me speak. There were threats that were coming in, and certain people didn't want me to speak, and they started taking weapons off people, and arresting people. I've had firsthand looks at this unreasoning anger and hatred that is focussed on an individual you don't know, a cause that you despise — whatever motivates people."
actually, it's printed right there in the last paragraph.
She's gonna grow older, uglier and more wrinkled as the Junior Senator from New York over the next 5 years.
I, for one, will enjoy the show.
You go figure the pathology.
You go figure the pathology.
Liberals and Democrats never protest against positions which they don't like, do they? What about those crazy gun-grabbers and even those uppity Negros fighting for those unpopular civil rights?
There were threats that were coming in, and certain people didn't want me to speak, and they started taking weapons off people, and arresting people.
Did any of them actually shoot or attempt to attack you? Do you have documentation about these weapons? Don't Liberal demonstrators consider it a badge of honor to get arrested?
I've had firsthand looks at this unreasoning anger and hatred that is focussed on an individual you don't know..."
Yeah, we know all about the way Bill has treated you. HE TREATED AMERICA THE SAME WAY. You should have left him a long time ago, and your hatred of all his various unknown lovers is understandable.
The 'Beast is losing it FReepers, she must not be the Smartest Woman in the World anymore.
But they keep making us say it.
Ugly is as ugly does; not to mention, ugly goes straight to the bone.
To equate being pilloried on talk radio with what happened at the WTC is beyond reprehensible. GO AWAY, EVIL WITCH.
Correction:
Hillary IS Terror
Michelle Malkin's comments don't seem harsh at all now that we know what Hillary was really thinking.
Radio talk-show hosts had urged their listeners to come out and yell and scream and carry on and prevent people from hearing me speak. There were threats that were coming in, and certain people didn't want me to speak, and they started taking weapons off people, and arresting people.

Could it be because those people really hated the thought of your FACIST HEALTH CARE?
"and then I asked her how she thought people would react to knowing that they are on the receiving end of a murderous anger."
How would she know? She wasn't an innocent conservative Republican during her husbands FACIST REGIME.
I can't believe she's putting her fat as* in the shoes of the World Trade Center victims, and we should feel her pain along with theirs!
The slimeball has no shame.
Instead she drums up these phoney memories of right wing fanatics with weapons bulging out of their pockets trying to crush her gentle spirit as she was desperately trying to instill marxist theology into our heathcare system.
Oh poor Hillary. It must have been rough flying out to Seattle in Air Force One, and having all the streets blocked off as you whiz through town, and driving past at 40 mph all those hate filled protesters as you gaze through about 20 inches of bullet proof glass. Then being led out in front of a hand picked audience with pre-approved proganda questions. I'll even bet CNNs Bernard Shaw was there to ask some tough questions like "How does it feel to be a part of the most ethical administration in history?"
Wow, now that I have visualized the reality of that horrible situation, I can really see how "difficult" it must have been. Poor Hillary.
