What Bill Clinton says; what the facts are.

This email was forwarded to me by Col. Curt Dale, and I thank him.

AN ANALYSIS WORTH READING by Dick Morris, former political advisor to
> President Bill Clinton
>
> If you happen to see the Bill Clinton 5-minute TV ad for Hillary in
> which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some
> things we may not know about Hillary's background, beware. As I was
> there for most of their presidency and know them better than just
> about anyone, I offer a few corrections.
>
> Bill says: "In law school, Hillary worked on legal services for the poor."
> The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law school
> was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing
> and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a
> law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights
> violations and develop grounds for appeal.
>
> Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a
> children's rights project for poor kids."
> The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the
> California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the
> Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an
> internship with him.
>
> Bill says: "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she
> turned down all the lucrative job offers."
> The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam; yes, flunked. It is a
> matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job
> offers in Arkansas - none - and only got hired by the University of
> Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching
> there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill
> became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he
> was elected Arkansas Governor.
>
> Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services
> Board of Directors and she became its chairman."
> The facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for
> Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became
> chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's
> choice to be chairman.
>
> Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital."
> The facts are: Yes, she did. But her main board activity, not
> mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Walmart board of directors for a
> substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care
> practices.
>
> Bill says: "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all
> Americans in 1994, but she kept working at it and helped to create the
> Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million
> children with health insurance."
> The facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was
> included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority
> Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped negotiate the deal. The
> money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney
> Generals' tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either
> source of funds.
>
> Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the world."
> The facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of
> town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that
> Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely
> touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any
> of them.
>
> Bill says: "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for
> children's and women's issues."
> The facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like
> changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed
> only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national
> park in Puerto Rico. A second provided respite care for family
> members helping their relatives through Alzheimer's or other
> conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and
> responders which were sponsored by the entire NY delegation. Presently
> she is trying to have the US memorialize the Woodstock fiasco of 40
> years ago.
>
> Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton.
> She has done everything possible to weaken the President and our
> country (that's you and me!) when it comes to the war on terror.
> 1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where
> they would have access to our legal system.
> 2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone
> calls to/from the USA .
> 3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants
> captured on the battlefield.
> 4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between
> suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA.
> 5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by
> the military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known
> terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.
>
> One cannot think of a single bill Hillary has introduced or a single
> comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our country in the
> War on Terror. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made
> that weaken our country and make it a more dangerous situation for all
> of us. Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too
> many issues where common sense is abandoned.
>
> Share this with every female democrat you know .... ask them to prove
> Dick Morris wrong. Think about it - he's (Dick Morris) said all of
> this openly, thus if he were not truthful he'd be liable for
> defamation of character! And you better believe Hilary would sue him.
> Is America ready for a woman president? I believe we are, just NOT
> this one.
