Lobbyist Firm Employee DENIES Clinton Getting HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS in FEES -- Caught On Video?!!!


Lobbyist firm employee and Hillary supporter, Howard Dean, (per link below) was caught this week making false statements about Hillary Clinton's monies, and though he was in complete denial, he was finally shown to be not just simply wrong, but ENTIRELY wrong, by a factor of at least 6 (or as many examples as they could find over the short commercial break)



Here's a little article about this Howard Dean fella who at one time probably would have supported tax-supported tuition for college students, but likely would not do so any longer because after all, how would Hillary support her lifestyle if they can't take colleges to the cleaners for hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees for as little work as 30 minutes in talk and 30 minutes in photo-ops. No wonder the Hillary Campaign has no interest in funding college tuition extensively... how would she survive?

Anyone want to refute the facts, I'd love to hear it.

School refuses Hillary's exorbitant fee, and it was for the opening of a Women’s Hall of Fame:

she charges for speaking engagements - contrary to what she said at the Town Hall to Anderson the other night - "that' what they offered".

I'm wondering if a contract is signed when she speaks - much like a rock star - where there are perks written into it - like food, drink, rooms, etc. If I recall right doesn't Sarah Palin make certain demands when she is paid for speaking?

I sure would like to see one of Hillary' speaking contracts.

very illuminating

When officials at the University of California at Los Angeles began negotiating a $300,000 speech appearance by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the school had one request: Could we get a reduced rate for public universities? The answer from Clinton’s representatives: $300,000 is the “special university rate.”

and then this one

Everyone should read the article at your second link.

Just a slice...

Top university officials discussed at length the style and color of the executive armchairs Clinton and moderator Lynn Vavreck would sit in as they carried on a question-and-answer session, as well as the kind of pillows to be situated on each chair. Clinton’s representatives requested that the chairs be outfitted with two long, rectangular pillows — and that two cushions be kept backstage in case the chair was too deep and she needed additional back support.

There's so much more.

I guess he figured out the candidate he is supporting is not beneath ANYTHING -- except the poll numbers

Disgusting though it is that Howard didn't do his "Homework" on Hillary before he began his support for her.

A Plum Job awaits Howard in Hillary Admin? Don't ask too many questions, Howard, about the New Boss.
