   So now that Obama is getting the support of more of the black voters in the primaries, the ones that Hillary once considered “in the bag,” doesn’t it make sense to get a black person in the campaign to help recover the lost support with that demographic?

   I remember Maggie Williams pretty vividly. A very smart communicator, famous for telling investigators during all the Clinton “-gate” investigations, “I don’t recall,” thereby mirroring First Lady Hillary’s answers to the same questions. I hope we aren’t heading down that road again.

   Yup, definitely sounds like the party of change to me. Maybe we should bring in new reporters as well. What is Helen Thomas doing nowadays anyhow? That is a Fresh Face that may be just what the Hildabeast and the Dhimmis need to perk up her staff and her street creds with the press?

    ….and Howard Wolfson! Did anyone notice the article (it was in the one that said the Clinton campaign spent $500k on….parking last year) that they spent $4m on political “consultants” and Obama spent $1M. I believe Wolfson and Penn qualify as “consultants”. With those numbers, it looks like they could quite easily go a month or two without……

    Now, knowing the Clintons, I wonder if they are paying Bill as a “consultant”?

    This seems like a strange move on many fronts. Mark Penn and Howard Wolfson should have been gone a long time ago. Paul Begala is a Clinton acolyte and he has ripped into Penn on numerous radio shows. And why fire your Latina campaign manager just a couple of weeks before the Texas primary?

    This tells us so much about the Clintons it’s almost a confessional:

    1. The Cronyism
    is alive and well in Camp Clinton.

    2. The Paranoia
    of having come this far and still only trusting close insiders. There is a term in law known as Mens Rea, which refers to the actions of a guilty mind. Such paranoia makes the idea of mens rea as true for them politically as a guy running from police is regarded as a display of guilt on the street.

    3. The Lack of Shame
    They think we have the memories of small, insignificant mammals, and the gullibly of Forrest Gump. Paradoxically, their lack of shame is their most humiliating aspect of all.

    4. The Hubris
    Reality is a sound bite to the Clintons. If the media paints them well, then they are good. If the media ignores a problem, it does not exist. Do know that if Hillary gets the nod, the Fairness doctrine will be signed into law. Think about that the next time you want to say you’ll sit out the election, vote third party of anything else that puts Hillary Rodham Clinton into the White House.

    Maggie Williams. Well well well. Hillary is back in the kitchen on behalf of her family, cooking up desperation alamode with a heavy helping of scheming paranoia.

    HRC is expected to take the Hispanic vote in TX. If Obama takes the Black vote
    in Dallas district and Houston district, he will get something like 33 delegates. If
    If HRC does take the Hispanic vote in South Texas, she would only get 13 delegates,
    I believe. I’m really not up on the Dem rules for delegates but I think they are set
    on the amount of votes cast in the last gubernatorial election. In that case, the
    Hispanic vote in S TX was a lot lighter than the Black vote in the Dallas and Houston
    dustricts. I think she should hire Helen Thomas as her press liaison. She’s no
    scarier than HRC crying AGAIN!

    Hillary is in the muck because the only method she has for winning the nomination is that of personal destruction. It worked for them every time in the past, but now she is up against a ‘black’ nominee, that tactic has backfired on her.

    The part about “easing the backlog” as if our national sovereignty is a matter of bureaucratic convenience is both alarming and infuriating. I’d e-mail this stuff to Michelle, Rose, and maybe you’ll get a hat tip. (I’m hoping some day I can get a hat tip!

    By the way, for those of you thinking of sitting out the election or voting a third party, what Rose is displaying here with these articles is a fraction of what will happen if Hillary or Obama get into office. McCain is weak on this subject, too, but he’ll want a second term in office and needs to stay somewhat in check; Hillary and Obama will look like heroes to their core base if they do ten times worse than is being described here, and they’ll make sure it sticks with liberal judges appointed for life. Think about that the next time you want to vote your “conscience”.

    30 years ago there was a popular phrase: “if it feels good, do it” It caught on through the media and it continues unabated. We’re seeing it in a different form these days illustrated by what you reported: “if it feels good, and makes you more content, even if it shamelessly promotes one side of the socio-political side of the spectrum regardless of appearance or reputation or shame, do it.”

    That’s where we are now. Countries can fall and giant democracies can still have civil wars even in this high-tech, faux-enlightened age. We can only wonder how this new one will play out, because we are certainly headed for a socio-political confrontation of some sort. Whether it be a constitutional crisis over election results, people turning off the MSM by the droves (which can actually will hurt our economy, as much is driven by high-stakes advertising), “angry-as-hell” people taking to the streets or even something worse, there is an inevitability in the air. Personally, I think people who care deeply about the values that made this country great should push that inevitability, albeit peacefully, with endless repetition, because the confrontation is absolutely certain to rise to the surface sooner or later. The only question is what form it will take.

    Hammer them on the specific issues that you care about after Hillary and Obama have lost. Whenever I think about either of them winning, I check to make sure that my wallet is still in my pocket. One thing that the government will do under democratic administration is take more of my money.

    As a second amendment advocate and gun owner, I think that having the availability at hand to protect your family and home is not just prudent, but a necessary piece of insurance – the chances of using it are rare, but if and when you have to have it you have to have it . What I meant was that getting the guns ready for a national revolution - which is what I thought you were referring to – isn’t such a good idea. Bloodshed in the streets is always sloppy and unhappy. I do think, though, that there is a tension in the air – a palpable strain – which suggests that concervatives’ patience on the issue of being marginalized by the MSM is at the breaking point, and we should just go ahead, stop the bleeding and admit the breaking point has occured and get on with whatever we need to get on with to change the situation.

    Now we are talking about this Maggie Williams.

    It is important to note who Maggie is.

    She was Chief of Staff for Hillary when she was the First Lady in the WH.

    She is also the person in charge of HilPac since it was created.

    She has worked for the Children’s Defense Fund and once served as press secretary for Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-NJ).

    She is a former a past President of Fenton Communications which is the PR firm of the Democrat party and every liberal group or NGO you can think of out there. It’s never a Dem talking point, it’s always a Fenton Approved talking point you hear.

    She sat on the Milano School board of governors at The New School, home base for Norman Hsu of DonateGate fame.

    She is married to Ronald K Noble who started out as an Assistant AG under the Clintons but then got moved to the Dept of Treasury to be put in charge of Customs, the Secret Service, BATF, Federal Law Enforcement Center, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

    Very convenient placement for an administration which had the donation investigations flying left and right and also he probably was immensely helpful during the Waco BBQ affair.

    So where is Noble now……….Head of InterPol and Bill C. is out doing all sorts of international deals to line his pockets and other questionable Clinton donors are coming out of the wood work with that whole mess going on.

    Drudge Report 7/3/99 “…” A former U.S. law enforcement official on Friday was chosen as the lead candidate to head Interpol, the global law enforcement organization. Ron Noble, former Treasury undersecretary for enforcement, was named during an executive session at Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France. Noble, 42, best known as the chief investigator of the failed Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raid on the Branch Davidian compound outside Waco, Texas, is the only person the United States has ever nominated to head Interpol in the 75-year history of the organization. Attorney General Janet Reno personally picked Noble for the position.

    Chung ended up visiting the White House 51 times, many of these visits taking place after the National Security Council had described him as a “hustler” who should be treated with “suspicion.” But to hear Maggie Williams tell it, Johnny Chung was a poor, innocent waif, a sort of diamond in the rough, an Eliza Doolittle grossly in need of expert counseling in the finer points of fund-raising etiquette from Mrs. Clinton’s staff—who, after all, are responsible for the social niceties at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. “A prime example of his … misguided behavior,” Williams testified, “was his persistent request to give money directly to Mrs. Clinton. Yes, there was this general feeling that something was being covered up, and that stemmed from the search of Foster’s office when Bernie Nussbaum changed the rules of the game and refused to allow the Department of Justice and the Park Police to participate in the search. During the Senate Whitewater Committee it came out that Mrs. Clinton, her chief of staff Maggie Williams and Susan Thomases (the New York attorney who is close friends with both Ms. Williams and Mrs. Clinton), had talked 17 times in a 43-hour period after Foster killed himself. Then Mrs. Thomases calls Nussbaum on the morning of the search, after Nussbaum has agreed to allow the Department of Justice and the Park Police to participate in the search. But after this conversation, Nussbaum changes the rules. He decides to keep all the options and all rights to the search, and then forces the Department of Justice attorneys, David Margolis and Roger Adams, as well as the Park Police guys, Charlie Hume and Pete Markland, to stand there like cigar-store Indians. That is where the conspiracy people believe the coverup began.On more than one occasion, I told Mr. Chung this was not possible, although his offer was much appreciated.”

    The first Black woman to direct the operations of the first lady in the White House, Maggie Williams, was named president of Fenton Communications, one of the nation’s largest communications firms, based in the nation’s capital.

    Born and reared in Kansas City, MO, Williams graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Trinity College in Washington in 1977 and received a master’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communications. She has worked for the Children’s Defense Fund and once served as press secretary for Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-NJ).

    That should sit well with the hispanic voters she has been pandering to.

    If memory serves correctly, after Vince Foster committed “suicide”, Ms Williams cleaned out his office in the White House BEFORE federal investigators were allowed in.

    *Whew* That is an interesting link on the Rolling Stone article, TXRose.

    Matt Taibbi used somre pretty strong language in it to illustrate his disgust with the Democrats not wanting to pull our troops out of Iraq before a new president is seated:

    - “Even beyond the war, the Democrats have repeatedly gone limp-d**k every time the Bush administration so much as raises its voice.”
    - “How much of this bulls**t are we going to take?”
    - “Look, f**k your hearts, OK? Just get it done.”

    Is it a coincedence that as soon as Hillary secured the Hispanic vote (but is lacking in the Black vote, which Obama is getting) that she does away with her “Latina Queena” and brings a BLACK WOMAN on board?

    If Obama gets more delegates can Clinton still get nominated by the superdelegates? Will Obama supporters vote for Clinton or will they revolt and stay home or vote for another party?

    BarryF..I thought it was an article worth reading. Says some things that I suspected
    were going on and sheds new light on Pelosi and Reid. Personally I think that she is
    running both the House and the Senate and that Reid is only window dressing.

    ctmom…I do believe that even if Obama gets more votes which means more
    delegates, than Hillary, she can still get the nomination if she can hold on to the
    superdelegates, whether out of fear or blackmail. Remember the purloined FBI
    files? I don’t put anything past the Clintons..

    I wonder if anybody in the MSM will ask Hillary if it was appropriate for Maggie Williams to accept a contribution from Johnny Chung in the White House. Surely Wolf Blitzer won’t ask. I also wonder if anybody will ask Hillary Clinton a simple question: Do you think it was the correct thing to do for your husband to issue 121 presidential pardons, including one to a major health care fraudster/crook, on his way out of the White House? CNN accepted Clinton’s terms years ago when he said no interviews if the pardon question is asked. So I am sure there will be no questions about accepting campaign money in the White House.
