Hillary tries to rework herself.

From NewsMax comes this interesting tidbit: bq. Holy Hillary: I Always Prayed Borrowing a page from President Bush, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told a Boston audience this week that prayer has always played a meaningful role in her life - though accounts from her days as a student radical suggest that's probably not true. bq. "I've always been a praying person," Clinton told a crowd of more than 500, including many religious leaders, at Boston's Fairmont Copley Plaza. And the reality of the situation: bq. Though she was raised as a Methodist, Clinton's open embrace of God, along with her insistence that she's "always been a praying person," has to come as a shock to those who remember her college days. bq. Back then, Clinton was far more likely to be seen reading not the Bible but the writings of Marx and Mao - and had close associations with unabashed Communists, to whom the mere mention of religion was heresy. bq. One was Robert Treuhaft, who, as noted in the late Barbara Olson's Hillary biography, "Hell to Pay," had "dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party." bq. In 1972 Treuhaft offered the future senator a summer internship at the University of California's Berkeley campus. Clinton accepted, immersing herself in Truehaft's brand of radical Stalinism. When she returned, she was, according to Olson, "a budding Leninist." bq. If Sen. Clinton was "a praying person" back then, she must have kept it well concealed from her radical mentors. Now that should be a lot of fun if she decides to run in 2008. I would like to see that happen and see all that gets dredged up. I'm still waiting for John Forbes Kerry to sign is Standard Form 180 to release his military records. Bush did it, Kerry did not. What is Kerry trying to hide. Dems these days -- bunch of rank amateurs... Posted by DaveH at January 22, 2005 9:22 PM
