Conveniently forgotten facts.
An American friend (a gringo) has just sent me the following. As I think that it is very important for you voting Americans to know this, I have posted it here. I am NOT going to respond to any comments on this and am requesting that none of you turn this into a political discussion thereby forcing the mods to close it down and send it on to the sister site.

THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES! - or at least make you wonder
By Paul Harvey
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 and 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,
Connecticut.
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 and became good friends with none other
than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at a Conneticut 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 Higgins was the woman 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
United States Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by
none other than Bill Clinton.
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 Senator from the
State of New York ---- our former First Lady, the Incredible Hillary
Rodham Clinton.
And now, as Paul Harvey said; "You know the rest of the
story".
This deserves the widest possible press. (where is our
press???)
REMEMBER, "Hillary Rodham Clinton" IS RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
