"Republicans plan to seize on an allegation from the 1992 presidential campaign to tarnish Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) on the red-hot issue of government surveillance.
Government surveillance will be at the forefront of the political debate this fall as congressional Democrats and President Bush square off over legislation allowing electronic spying on U.S. soil without a warrant.
Republicans are focusing on an allegation in a recent book by two Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters, which suggests Clinton listened to a secretly recorded conversation between political opponents.
In their book about Clinton’s rise to power, Her Way, Don Van Natta Jr., an investigative reporter at The New York Times, and Jeff Gerth, who spent 30 years as an investigative reporter at the paper, wrote: “Hillary’s defense activities ranged from the inspirational to the microscopic to the down and dirty. She received memos about the status of various press inquiries; she vetted senior campaign aides; and she listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack.
“The tape contained discussions of another woman who might surface with allegations about an affair with Bill,” Gerth and Van Natta wrote in reference to Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton. “Bill’s supporters monitored frequencies used by cell phones, and the tape was made during one of those monitoring sessions.”
A GOP official said, “Hillary Clinton’s campaign hypocrisy continues to know no bounds. It is rather unbelievable that Clinton would listen in to conversations being conducted by political opponents, but refuse to allow our intelligence agencies to listen in to conversations being conducted by terrorists as they plot and plan to kill us. Team Clinton can expect to see and hear this over and over again over the course of the next year.”
Gerth told The Hill that he learned of the incident in 2006 when he interviewed a former campaign aide present at the tape playing. He has not revealed the aide’s identity. Clinton’s campaign has not disputed any facts reported in the final version of his book, which became public this spring, he said.
“It hasn’t been challenged,” said Gerth. “There hasn’t been one fact in the book that’s been challenged.”
This is the same woman who flitted mindlessly about the White House while her husband was having affairs, committing perjury, suborning perjury, lying to all of America at every turn, and today has the unmitigated gall to refer to the man as a great President.
Two standards. Rules for the Clinton's, rules for everybody else. The harridan is so deeply entrenched in these beliefs that she finds nothing wrong with acting the Queen in a country sans royalty.
Every good general knows that you fight the enemy in front of you first, so the Republican candidates will slug it out against one another before the winner takes on Hillary. The time will come when all of them, winners and losers, should take this creature on with both barrels blazing, pummeling her into submission with the truth. We've all seen how she reacts to adversity; Mrs. Smartest Woman In the World folds like a cheap suitcase and begins that horrid cackling, and its a smart move because who can possibly stand there listening to nails on a chalkboard for very long. If they're smart, they'll take turns at ridiculing her healthcare proposals, her money-giveaways, and most of all her propensity to be fooled by men time after time again.
We certainly don't need a President who is anywhere near as gullible as The Shrill, and the smart money says she wilts under pressure and loses the general election in a landslide.
