Hillary Clinton and the Black Panthers

Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a
fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die.
Rackley was suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied
to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for
hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him.
When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member,
Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head.
Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles
north of New Haven, Conn.

Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these
Black Panthers. In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one
of the killers was still in jail.
The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard.
He later became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut State College.

Isn't that something? As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into
someone's head, and a few years later, in the same state, you can
become an assistant college dean! Only in America!

Erica Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the water
for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected
to a California School Board.

How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy?

Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came
to the defense of the Panthers.
These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University
with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during
their trial.

One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or
Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a
member of a California School Board. He is now head of the US Justice
Department's Civil Rights Division.

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable
Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther
apologist now an assistant college dean?

No, Neither! The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical
law student at Yale University at the time.

She is now known as The "smartest woman in the world." She is none
other than the Democratic candidate for the US Senate from the state of
New York----our lovely First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham
Clinton.

And now; as Paul Harvey says; now you know (the rest of the story).
Pass this on! She deserves the press...
