(24,692 posts)As their fear swells in advance of Hillary Clintons anticipated presidential campaign, the feverish smears of the Republican right increasingly resemble the desperate gambits of a certain Wile E. Coyote. The latest episode in their cartoonish crusade appeared in the Washington Free Beacon, which headlined The Hillary Letters the other day with an ominous subhead: Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky correspondence revealed.
Not only did Clinton become acquainted as a young woman with the legendary community organizer a fact mentioned in Living History, her own memoir but she apparently wrote at least two letters to him in the summer of 1971. At the time, she was working as a legal intern for a well-known left-wing law firm in Berkeley another item noted in Living History, which was published 11 years ago.
In the most telling passage from the letters Clinton sent to Alinsky during that turbulent summer more than 40 years ago, she writes: The more Ive seen of places like Yale Law School and the people who haunt them, the more convinced I am that we have the serious business and joy of much work aheadif the commitment to a free and open society is ever going to mean more than eloquence and frustration. (She doesnt sound much like a Communist either.)
But like the hapless Looney Tunes varmint brandishing his Acme dynamite sticks, the right-wing pamphleteers are so furious in their fruitless pursuit of Clinton that they will seize any and every bomb to throw at her, no matter how many times they blow themselves up instead. Those angry, soot-covered boobs never seem to understand why their attacks leave her completely unscathed and often even stronger than before.
