Don't Let 'Moderate' Hillary Fool You

by Kathleen Willey, Candice E. Jackson, and Juanita Broaddrick
Posted May 11, 2006 

Hillary Clinton weighed in on the immigration reform debate recently by 
accusing the House Republicans of passing a bill that would “criminalize 
the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself.ö Hillary also opined 
that the House bill “flew in the faceö of Republicans’ stated support 
for faith and values.

Hillary eagerly pounces on her political opponents’ supposed betrayal of 
their values, but what about her values? Far from walking in the 
footsteps of the Good Samaritan or “Jesus himself,ö Hillary has 
consistently revealed a personal and political character the core values 
of which are ruthlessness, unbounding arrogance and endless ambition. 

One of us had the surreal experience of being confronted by Hillary -- 
self-declared feminist and champion of “women’s rightsö -- as she 
protected her husband Bill against the charge of rape. Another of us 
worked with the Clintons prior to being sexually assaulted by Bill 
Clinton, and witnessed her dismissive, contemptuous interactions with 
others whenever the cameras weren’t present. Our experience of Hillary 
Clinton as ruthless and vindictive is validated in a newly released 
book, “I’ve Always Been a Yankees Fan: Hillary Clinton in Her Own 
Words,ö by Tom Kuiper. 

“I’ve Always Been a Yankees Fanö is a collection of quotes -- hundreds 
of them -- by and about Hillary Clinton, spanning her entire life and 
career, complete with pictures, captions and humorous but spot-on 
commentary. The quotes show a crass, insensitive side of Hillary, and in 
the foreword Dick Morris writes of this “wonderful little bookö that “No 
politician could possibly amass quotes like this and expect to run for 
office. Nobody would dare.ö Hillary Clinton, however, possesses an 
extraordinary level of arrogance (even for a politician), and expects to 
claw her way back to the White House despite being called out for her 
despicable attitudes and statements. 

Our perception of Hillary, one shared by Tom Kuiper and Dick Morris, 
stands in stark contrast to the one touted by feminist legal scholar and 
author Susan Estrich. In her recent book, Estrich opines that Hillary 
can and should be elected the first female president. Estrich writes, “I 
think that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, soon-to-be second-term 
senator from New York, centrist Democrat, strong on security, tough, 
moderate, family values, middle-aged, qualified, managed by Bill 
Clinton, is the next president of the United States.ö Moderate? Family 
values? Kuiper’s new book goes a long way toward discrediting the 
version of Hillary Clinton that permitted her to launch her own 
political career, and on which she hopes to ascend to the presidency in 
2008.

For example, Kuiper quotes multi-millionaire Hillary opining that “The 
unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in 
American life in the last generation.ö It is difficult to discern any 
moderation in that statement. Or in this response by Hillary to a 
constituent who expressed concern over being forced into a government-
run health-care plan: “It’s time to put the common good, the national 
interest, ahead of individuals.ö Or in this explanation to wealthy 
donors regarding her support for repealing the Bush tax cuts: “Many of 
you are well enough off that [the] tax cuts may have helped you. We’re 
saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to 
cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away 
from you on behalf of the common good.ö 

How about Hillary’s supposed support for family values, which should 
include justice for abused women and children? “I’ve Always Been a 
Yankees Fanö presents Hillary publicly announcing, “I am proud that my 
husband has stood up as president to confront the violence and to 
protect American women.ö But Kuiper also accurately recounts how Hillary 
privately revealed a complete lack of concern for “protecting women 
against violenceö when she asked to meet Juanita Broaddrick just weeks 
after Juanita had been raped by Bill Clinton. Hillary was willing to do 
whatever it took to prevent Juanita from holding her husband accountable 
for an unspeakable act of violence. 

Kuiper also quotes Hillary Clinton as saying of the many women who have 
reported having sexual encounters with Bill Clinton (forced or 
otherwise): “These women are all trash. Nobody’s going to believe them.ö 
This is hardly how “Jesus himselfö would respond to women reporting what 
often amounted to sexual mistreatment, and we doubt that He would 
“crucifyö Gennifer Flowers for daring to disclose her affair with 
Hillary’s husband -- even though Bill Clinton himself eventually 
admitted under oath to having the affair with Flowers. Hillary professes 
to be “a voice for America’s children,ö yet at an event with 
preschoolers at the governor’s mansion as first lady of Arkansas Mother 
Clinton was overheard on the intercom system saying, “I want to get this 
s--- over with and get these damn people out of here.ö Hillary has not 
demonstrated a consistent track record of treating women and children -- 
at least children not her own -- with care and concern. She was 
certainly quick enough to demand that taxpayers fund a pool for the 
governor’s mansion while first “ladyö of Arkansas.

Hillary invariably relies on the maxim “the best defense is a good 
offenseö to deflect attention from her own wrongdoing. She refuses to 
address or apologize for the statements -- many of them vulgar and 
outrageous -- that Tom Kuiper has painstakingly assembled, but she 
audaciously continues to malign others for supposedly failing to act on 
“faithö and “values.ö Based on our personal experiences with Hillary 
Clinton, we encourage others to explore the true nature of this woman 
through Kuiper’s entertaining but revealing book before throwing 
political support to Hillary on the misguided impression that she is the 
moderate, family-values candidate she wants you to think she is.
