The Hildabeast Solves Abortion Problem

The gospel according to Hillary: get rid of Conservatives (a.k.a. “right-wing ideologues") and the abortion problem will be solved. It is the evil neo-cons who are withholding contraception who are to blame for the rising abortion rate.

Does this woman ever stop blathering long enough to actually listen to what she is saying? Only Babs Streisand manages to come close to the ridiculous accusations this woman constantly throws out there. If right-wingers won’t let people have condoms, birth control pills or common sense (two of which are readily available practically everywhere in this country - even though the third is in short supply in blue states) then why are those same right-wingers so against abortion.

As usual, the Hildabeast’s logic totally escapes me. This whole “vast right-wing conspiracy” gig is getting kinda tired and lame, if you ask me. If anything, there is a true “vast left-wing conspiracy” going on around here and they don’t want any competition. So why don’t we all help the Hildabeast. Take all your used condoms, carefully wash them, wrap them nicely and send them to Hillary. Explain to her that you want to help her cause and that Al Gore told you to recycle so you’re just doing your part to save the women and the planet. A true Liberal “two-fer” ....

Hillary Clinton: Right Wingers to Blame for Abortion
_{Wednesday, May 17, 2006 11:07 p.m. EDT}

2008 White House hopeful Hillary Clinton is blaming right wing “ideologues” for denying women access to contraceptives - leaving them no choice but to end their unwanted pregnancies with abortion.

The move to withhold contraceptives “was started by a small group of extreme ideologues who claim the right to impose their personal beliefs on the overwhelming majority of the American people,” Clinton declared in an e-mail to supporters on Wednesday.

“They’re waging this silent war on contraception by using the power of the White House and their right-wing allies in Congress,” she complains, adding, “and so far, they’re getting away with it.”

So just how are these right wing ideologues driving up the abortion rate? Clinton explains: “Low-income women, denied access to contraception, are having more unwanted pregnancies - four times as many as those for higher income women. And almost half of all unwanted pregnancies end in abortions.”

The former first lady didn’t explain, however, why - in places like New York City, where high school nurses’ offices distribute candy-flavored condoms - the abortion rate continues to soar.

In January, for instance, the New York Daily News reported: “For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004, according to newly released figures that reaffirm the city as the abortion capital of the country ... That means 40 out of 100 pregnancies in the city ended in a planned abortion - almost double the national average of 24 of 100 pregnancies in 2002.”

Most Ridiculous Headline Of The Day (so far)

“Sharon Stone: Hillary Clinton ‘Too Sexy’ to Run for President”
- The National Ledger: March 27, 2006

“I think Hillary Clinton is fantastic. But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd, but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power, and I don’t think people will accept that. It’s too threatening,” Stone says in the new issue of Hollywood Life magazine.

Dubai’s ‘Boycott Israel’ Sheik
Funded Bill Clinton
Thursday, March 2, 2006 12:10 p.m. EST

(NEWSMAX)

Former President Bill Clinton has accepted at least $1.6 million from the United Arab Emirates, including $300,000 from a Dubai sheik who adamantly backs the country’s controversial boycott of Israel.

On Jan. 17, 2002, Mr. Clinton was paid $300,000 to address the Science, Technology and Arts Royal Summit in Dubai at the invitation of Crown Prince and UAE Defense Minister Sheik Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Less than three months later, Sheik Mohammad urged the United Nations to approve the use of force against Israel’s to halt what he called the Jewish state’s “butchery” of Palestinians, according to London’s Financial Times. Mr. Clinton’s benefactor called for then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to “stand trial before the International War Crimes Tribunal,” where Sheik Mohammad said he would “have a prominent place in the list of world’s killers, terrorists and criminals.”

The Dubai sheik then reminded that “Arabs have a wide room for political, diplomatic and economic moves and have the right, at least, to revive the Arab economic boycott to Israel.” Mr. Clinton accepted another $300,000 from the Dubai regime for a speech in 2005. And his presidential library in Little Rock has collected seven-figure sums from several Arab governments participating in the anti-Israel boycott, including Dubai.

In Sept. 2005, the New York Sun reported: “When the library opened last year, a computer display in the exhibit halls included information on some, but not all, donors. The Saudi Royal Family and the governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar all gave $1 million or more.” The paper noted that after it published a previous list including Mr. Clinton’s Arab donors, “the computer display was shut off. It has not been restored.”

On Thursday morning, NewsMax called the offices of Mr. Clinton, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Charles Schumer, Rep. Peter King and the Anti-Defamation League in New York, inquiring about the appropriateness of Mr. Clinton taking so much cash from a country that boycotts Israel. None of the calls had been returned by presstime.

Sen. Clinton Re-enters Health Care Fray
Former first lady blasts Medicare plan; alleges ‘deliberate neglect’
ROCHESTER, New York (CNN)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton put her pet issue, health care, at the center of her Senate re-election effort Monday, accusing the Bush administration of “deliberate neglect” of the issue. “I’m ready to get back into the fray, knowing how difficult and controversial it is,” Clinton told an audience of about 100 health care and business professionals at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

“The status quo is not sustainable.” In a campaign swing that touched down in the three most populous cities in upstate New York, the junior senator described the introduction of the Bush administration’s prescription drug plan under the Medicare program as a “confusing and complex transition.”

Earlier, while visiting a pharmacy, Clinton said many elderly residents were paying far more for drugs than they used to and have found themselves hamstrung by paperwork. “A lot of pharmacists are giving the drugs to their customers because they know how much their customers need it,” she said. “One of the bills I’ve introduced is to make sure the pharmacists get reimbursed.” Rochester has a population of about 200,000, and about 2 in 5 jobs in the area are in the health care industry.

Clinton also visited pharmacies in Buffalo and Syracuse to call for improvements to the Medicare drug plan, which took effect January 1. Since then, at least 26 states have had to step in to make sure some of the poorest seniors receive needed prescriptions, an association of state health care officials said last week.  “We have people that are coming up that should have $1 and $3 co-pays that have $40 co-pays on their medications,” said Dawne Rizio, a pharmacy technician at Rochester’s Saratoga Pharmacy. “They’re not getting their meds, or we’re spending hours on the phone fighting with insurance companies.”

In her speech, Clinton said the administration was not doing enough to help the 45 million Americans who have no health insurance or to lower health care costs, which now consume 15 percent of the nation’s gross national product. “The response in Washington to our health care crisis has been to cut Medicaid, erode patent protections and to promote strategies that increase costs and reduce access to care,” she said.

Clinton said Bush’s State of the Union speech January 31 was likely to include new proposals, which she characterized “in three words: on your own.” She said the failed effort to provide universal insurance coverage that she led as first lady early in her husband’s first term as president may have been “too much, too fast.” But she added, “Today, we’re making things worse with deliberate neglect and flawed policies that are diminishing the coverage that Americans have. That is shifting costs to others and leaving consumers, businesses and local governments with the bill.”

Clinton is seeking a second Senate term in November without a well-funded opponent, and she has not ruled out a run for the presidency in 2008. “I’m just running for re-election now—that’s my most important job is to get re-elected,” she told a supporter at the pharmacy. “But I need your help for that, too. I don’t want to take anything for granted.”

Clinton’s comments on health care were the latest in a series of sharp criticisms of the White House. Last week, she took aim at the administration’s handling of the nuclear standoff in Iran, just two days after saying it would go down as “one of the worst” presidencies in U.S. history.

The End Times?

BREST, France (AP) - President Jacques Chirac warned Thursday that France could respond with nuclear weapons to a state-sponsored terrorist attack, broadening the terms of his country’s deterrence in the face of emerging threats. The warning came as France worked with other Western nations to ensure that Iran does not become a nuclear power. But officials and experts said Chirac’s comments were not aimed specifically at Tehran.

“Nuclear deterrence ... is not aimed at dissuading fanatic terrorists,” Chirac said in a speech delivered at the L’Ile-Longue nuclear submarine base in the western region of Brittany. “Leaders of states who would use terrorist means against us, just like anyone who would envisage using, in one way or another, arms of mass destruction, must understand that they would expose themselves to a firm and fitting response from us,” he said. “This response could be conventional. It could also be of another nature.”

France’s nuclear arsenal is considered a purely deterrent force to protect the nation’s vital interests and is not intended for regular combat. But Chirac, who has the power to decide on deploying nuclear weapons, said there should be no doubt “about our will and our capacity to use nuclear arms” if the country’s vital interests are threatened. “In numerous countries, radical ideas are spreading, advocating a confrontation of civilizations,” he said, adding “odious attacks” could escalate to “other yet more serious forms involving states.”

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) - Sen. Hillary Clinton called for United Nations sanctions against Iran and faulted the Bush administration for “downplaying” the threat Tehran’s nuclear program poses. In an address Wednesday evening at Princeton University, Clinton, D-N.Y., said it was a mistake for the U.S. to have Britain, France and Germany head up nuclear talks with Iran over the past 2 1/2 years. Last week, Iran resumed nuclear research in a move Tehran claims is for energy, not weapons.

“I believe that we lost critical time in dealing with Iran because the White House chose to downplay the threats and chose to outsource the negotiations,” Clinton said. Earlier this week, a meeting in London produced no agreement among the U.S., France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China on whether to refer the dispute over Iranian nuclear enrichment to the Security Council, which could impose sanctions.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Embroiled in a nuclear standoff with the West, Iran said on Friday it was moving its foreign assets to shield them from possible U.N. sanctions and flexed its oil muscles with a proposal to cut OPEC output. “Yes, Iran has started withdrawing money from European banks and transferring it to other banks abroad,” said a senior Iranian official, who asked not to be named.

Central Bank Governor Ebrahim Sheibani was quoted earlier as saying Tehran had started shifting funds, but he sidestepped a question on whether the assets would go to accounts in Asia. It is far from clear how placing assets in Asia or anywhere abroad would protect them from being frozen as few governments or major banks would be willing to flout U.N. sanctions openly.

The United States and the European Union want the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to refer Iran to the Security Council at an emergency meeting on February 2. The council has the power to impose trade or diplomatic sanctions, though no swift action to punish Iran is likely. Russia and China, which both have major commercial interests at stake in the Islamic Republic, have urged caution.

Iran’s ambassador to the IAEA in Vienna said hauling his country to the council would be difficult because of the views of Russia, China and some European and developing countries. “Sending Iran to the Security Council lacks a legal basis,” Aliasghar Soltaniyeh told the semi-official Fars news agency.

LONDON, England (AP) - A whale swam up the River Thames past Parliament and Big Ben in central London on Friday, then beached itself. The whale was a Northern bottlenose, said Richard Sabian, a zoologist at the Natural History Museum in London, who went to the scene. “I can confirm reports that it is a whale,” he said, as television networks provided live coverage.

Sabian said such whales rarely swim in the nearby English Channel and this was the first sighting of one in the River Thames since the museum began recording them in 1913. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue group said it would help the whale if it became stranded. At one point the whale appeared to get stuck in shallow water in the River Thames, and officials wearing yellow jackets could be seen running up and down the shoreline at low tide trying to push it back into deeper water.

Witnesses, including people riding in boats and walking along the banks of the river, first spotted the whale near Parliament and said it appeared to be 20 feet long. “I saw it blow. It was a spout of water which sparkled in the air,” said Tom Howard-Vyne, a spokesman for London Eye, the large Ferris wheel on the banks of the river. “It was an amazing sight.”

Gone With The Windbag

“Cotton Picking Mind” -by- Cox & Forkum

Martin Luther King Jr. fought four decades ago to free black Americans from the legacy of slavery. Yesterday, Senator Clinton compared the Republican leadership of the current House of Representatives to the very idea the civil rights leader dedicated his life to fighting.

“When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run - it has been run like a plantation,” she said. “You know what I’m talking about.”

The most dangerous woman in the world is shifting into high gear in preparation for the 2008 Presidential race. She has obviously been listening to Harry Belafonte (or tutoring him) because the rhetoric is the same. Blast Bush! Play the race card! Screech! Scream!

I’m having a nightmare. Help me!

Clinton Slams Bush, White House in Harlem
January 16, 2006, 7:17 PM EST
NEW YORK (AP)

Sen. Hillary Clinton on Monday blasted the Bush administration as “one of the worst” in U.S. history and compared the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to a plantation where dissenting voices are squelched.

Speaking during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, Clinton also offered an apology to a group of Hurricane Katrina survivors “on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you.” Her remarks were met with thunderous applause by a mostly black audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.

The House “has been run like a plantation, and you know what I’m talking about,” said Clinton, D-N.Y. “It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard.” “We have a culture of corruption, we have cronyism, we have incompetence,” she said. “I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country.”

A spokeswoman for the White House declined to comment and referred questions to the Republican National Committee. RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said: “On a day when Americans are focused on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Hillary Clinton is focused on the legacy of Hillary Clinton.”

Hillary Clinton to Fundraise with Harry Belafonte
(NEWSMAX)

The New York Observer is reporting that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) will appear Thursday at a luncheon with Calypso singer turned Bush-bashing liberal activist Harry Belafonte. The luncheon is an awards ceremony given by the Children’s Defense Fund, a liberal interest group.

Belafonte gained recent attention by calling President Bush the “world’s greatest terrorist” while visiting Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. Belafonte was joined on the Venezuela trip by a group of outspoken liberal Americans, including actor Danny Glover and Princeton University Professor Cornel West.

“No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says,” Belafonte told Chavez, “we’re here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution.” Belafonte finished his appearance on Chavez’s television and radio broadcast with the shout in Spanish, “Viva la revolucion!”

It will not be the first time that Hillary Clinton has appeared with Belafonte after the 78-year-old singer has made controversial remarks. In September, Belafonte told the Congressional Black Caucus that the Bush foreign policy “has made a wreck of this planet”.

“I’m always in Africa,” Belafonte ranted, “and when I go to these places I see American policy written on the walls of oppression everywhere.” Sen. Clinton was the next speaker at the event. Following up, she noted, “What Harry said is so important.”

As reported by Cybercast News Service, during a civil rights march in Atlanta last August, Belafonte called prominent African-American officials in the Bush administration, such as Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, “black tyrants.” He has also compared the Bush administration to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany and, in 2002, described then-Secretary of State Powell as a “house slave.”

The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a conservative black leader, accused Belafonte of treason. “Harry Belafonte’s hatred of President Bush is causing him to embrace America’s enemies,” the Rev. Peterson said in a press release. “I also believe that his actions are treasonous as described by Article Three, Section Three of the U.S. Constitution, which says that ‘adhering to our enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort’ constitutes treason.”

Hillary Loves The Flag

Ah, Hillary, my dear. Surely you’re not going to try and tell little Ol’ Skipper that you really aren’t planning a run for the Presidency in 2008 now, are you? Come over here and give us a hug and confess, sweet-cheeks. I know you really hate cooperating with Repugnicans, especially when it confuses your Leftist, Liberal, Socialist, Communist, bed-wetting, pinko base.

Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt their little feelings. Hill sweetie, how long do you think you can maintain this mask, pretending to be conservative in order to get a few Red States in your camp? Please tell me you’re not planning on taking up NASCAR racing next (although I’d just love to see you at Daytona in a bikini presenting the winners’s trophy to Dale Earnhardt, Jr). Perhaps this is just a flirtation with the Right and maybe I’m wrong but you really need to ditch that redneck hick of a husband before he unzips your whole quest for Camelot again ....

HILLARY BACKS BAN
ON FLAG-BURNING
December 5, 2005
WASHINGTON (NY POST)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has quietly signed on to a Republican measure that makes it illegal to desecrate the American flag — a move that will boost her credibility in the conservative “red” states. Clinton is the sole co-sponsor of Utah Republican Sen. Bob Bennett’s new legislation that outlaws flag-trashing without addressing the issue of a Constitutional amendment to ban it. It’s a delicate dance on a longtime hot-button issue that has major implications in a potential 2008 White House bid for Clinton as she tries to woo heartland voters and block new centrist-Dem darling Gov. Mark Warner of Virginia.

Warner last month fired a warning shot at Hillary’s presidential hopes when he helped elect a fellow Democrat to succeed him in Virginia — proving he has the juice to boost other Democrats in red states. “She has been tagged, just about everywhere, as a likely loser because she can’t carry a single red state. With Mark Warner on the rise, she has got to find ways to counter that criticism. This is one of the exhibits,” said Larry Sabato, of the University of Virginia. Seventy percent of Americans want flag-desecration outlawed, according to several polls — and that feeling is even stronger among the moderate red-state voters Clinton needs to make any White House hopes a reality.

Yet the liberal core of the Democratic Party that Clinton must have during the primary season is dead-set against amending the Constitution to banning flag-burning — which the Supreme Court has ruled is protected by the First Amendment. She hedged on the issue last summer, when the House voted to amend the Constitution and ban flag desecration. It appeared the Senate would vote too — though it hasn’t happened. “I support federal legislation that would outlaw flag-desecration, much like laws that currently prohibit the burning of crosses, but I don’t believe a constitutional amendment is the answer,” she said at the time.

Her spokesman, Philippe Reines, said she’s now following through on her promise. The bill doesn’t explicitly ban anyone from setting the flag afire. But it makes it illegal for a protester to “intimidate any person or group of persons by burning” the flag — which leaves police with plenty of room for interpretation. It also outlaws anyone from lighting somebody else’s flag on fire and from desecrating the flag on federal property. Congressional lawyers, who have been poring over Supreme Court rulings, believe the bill will withstand judicial review. But for Clinton, analysts say the real value is that she can tout her co-sponsorship of the bill on the campaign trail.
