How Old Was Hillary Clinton 35 Years Ago?

[DrFunkenstein]

What was she doing that would qualify her for becoming President? Obama has been far too quiet on this absurdity. You can bet that the GOP are biting their tongues on this one. I can only imagine how this would play against McCain. Her whole "experience" rationale goes flying out the window as soon as he becomes the opponent. Being the wife of a President seems absurd enough as a claim, but the 35 years schtick is really off the map.

[Clintonista2]

1. She was helping to impeach Nixon.

[Avalux]

3. They look uncomfortable with each other in that pic. n/t

[Lucinda]

40. No...they really don't.

[durrrty libby]

50. Only to the ignorant

[Avalux]

56. Thank you for the insult.

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

63. Hey, don't be mean!

You DO know she's mentally retarded, right?

It's not cool to be mean to retarded people!

[Richard Steele]

57. As always, thanks for your concern, and bless your heart. nm

[Andromeda]

79. No they don't, ...

actually they look very devoted to one another.

[McCamy Taylor]

24. Good one!

[ProSense]

80. She was a staff member

She served as a staff attorney for the Children's Defense Fund and was also on the congressional Impeachment Inquiry staff in 1974, at the tail end of Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal. Hillary married Bill Clinton and left Washington for Arkansas in 1975.

Meet Elizabeth Holtzman:

She served on the House's Judiciary Committee during the impeachment hearings on the activities of President Richard Nixon in the summer of 1974.

[Clintonista2]

86. Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

Like I said, she was helping with the impeachment of Nixon.

[matcom]

2. 35 years younger than today

[1corona4u]

6. Do you ever have anything intelligent to say?

Jeezzzzzzz..............

[redqueen]

9. It's kind of a stupid question.

So... it kind of begged that kind of response.

[matcom]

13. methinks you have anger issues

you might want to pick up around the basement before mom gets home

[Der Blaue Engel]

4. 26

:shrug:

[no name no slogan]

5. She was helping this guy not inhale

[1corona4u]

7. Ignorant comment.

[EFerrari]

Do you know what ignorant means?

[1corona4u]

17. Yes, I do, and it was an ignorant comment.

DUHH.....

[EFerrari]

27. Actually, it wasn't. "Ignorant" means unknowing.

And the poster correctly posted a point of historical fact.

You don't know what "ignorant" means.

[1corona4u]

34. EXACTLY

THE FUCKING COMMENT WAS;

"She was helping this guy not inhale"

HOW THE FUCK COULD THE OP POSSIBLY KNOW THAT SHE WAS HELPING HIM????? HE couldn't, Hence IGNORANCE!

IGNORANCE;

uneducated in general; lacking knowledge or sophistication

Get it??

Now I have better things to do than argue stupid shit with total....

[EFerrari]

38. I don't think you're swearing enough in this thread.

15. Yeah. He managed not to inhale all on his own. No help needed.

[1corona4u]

20. SO FUCKING WHAT

DID OBAMA DO COCAINE AND POT???? HE DID. GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

[matcom]

23. are you 12 or 13 years old?

you post like a "tween"

[1corona4u]

26. I think your mom's calling you for supper.....

it's the 3rd trailer, the one with rusted out car in front...in the event you're too stoned to remember.

[matcom]

31. yes. keep it simple

one-syllable words strewn together work best for me too. easier for me to understand

[11 Bravo]

36. Somehow, you've managed to hang around for three whole months.

Just FYI, matcom has been an institution here for 6 years. When some wise-ass newbie jumps ugly with him, they don't make any friends. Oh, and the "FUCK OFF"? Pure genius. With that capacity for wit and quick retort, maybe you really do have the standing to question another's intelligence.

[1corona4u]

41. Who gives a shit how long someone has been here...

I'll say what the fuck ever I want to say. I'm not looking to make 'friends' here.

[Richard Steele]

51. No one. We give a shit about how long someone has been A COMPLETELY ASSHOLLISH MORON here.

I'll bet that whole "not making friends here" is going according to plan, eh?

[1corona4u]

52. Listen Dicky....

I pick and choose my friends, and I have plenty here.

[matcom]

66. that would be "Dickie"

[Richard Steele]

72. Dude, don't make me come over there and kick your ass!

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

70. Well, we both know that's just not TRUE, now don't we?

Sure, you have some folks you speak to, here and in real life...
but you know in your heart that none of them are really your FRIENDS.

Truth be told, none of them even LIKE you very much- they just tolerate
your presence whenever you happen to agree with them.

But that's not really the same thing, now is it?

[SammyWinstonJack]

75. You're doing a bang up job.

I'm not looking to make 'friends' here.

[Richard Steele]

39. Aw, ya punked out and edited your childish insult...in favor of a childish insult.

What are you, 12? Where the hell do you think you are, son?
You don't think your foolish asshattery is actually IMPRESSING anyone, do ya?

[1corona4u]

49. It's MS. and I am probably old enough to be YOUR

grandmother. I'm really pissed off, sick and tired, of all the BULLSHIT Obama gets away with. I'm not biting my tongue anymore. Deal with it, or stop reading my post.

[EFerrari]

53. There is no age "old enough" to be as abusive as you have been.

You deal with that.

[1corona4u]

55. OH WELL....

[EFerrari]

61. There are people here that would like to listen to your opinion.

Don't make it impossible.

[Richard Steele]

54. Could be. My grandma is pretty demented and incoherent, too.

[11 Bravo]

58. Rim shot!

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

29. Wow. What are you, 12?

nm

[matcom]

37. no dick

she is a "tween"

[Richard Steele]

47. Tween: Half twit, half obscene?

:shrug:

[matcom]

48. YES!

:rofl:

but then again, *I've* been known to be 'half-obscene' :D

[no name no slogan]

65. matcom? Half-obscene?

NEVER. 15/32 obscene, sure, but NOT half obscene.

[matcom]

68. SHIT!

i was hoping to be rated 30/32 obscene :cry:

[1corona4u]

59. North Carolina?

You should know...

[Richard Steele]

71. Aw, are you making a lame attempt at web-stalking me now? That's so cute.

[GodlessBiker]

30. Obama is man enough to admit it. Bill ain't.

[11 Bravo]

18. Two comments from you on this thread, both of them questioning another DUer's intelligence ...

Thanks for the snark, Einstein.

[redqueen]

22. Why?

*sigh*

My ignore list is growing so fast... I'm so tired of this shit.

[Richard Steele]

8. Looking foreward to joining the WalMart board of directors. nm

[redqueen]

10. Jesus...

*sigh*

[Richard Steele]

19. That's exactly what I said when I learned she had been on it: "Jesus...*sigh*" nm

[redqueen]

21. Right.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Richard Steele]

25. Exactly what I said when I learned about her political leanings: "RIGHT". nm

[KennedyGuy]

11. beats Rezco...

[EFerrari]

14. No, the Clinton file is much fatter.

I can't figure out why she would go there, knowing that. It seems stupid for such a smart person.

[Alexander]

88. Which has as much to it as Whitewater.

Jeez, you can't even spell it properly.

[aquart]

16. Great picture.

Serious and thinking even then.

[Konza]

28. 35 years ago Hillary was inventing the internets. Then that rascal Al Gore stole those designs.

Damn that Al Gore.

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. ...

:evilgrin: This is fun, isn't it? :silly:

[Cant trust em]

32. I love the glasses

[Barack_America]

33. She graduated law school in 1973. So 35 years ago she was still in law school.

Not sure how law school counts as "executive experience".

Not sure why she gets to start her clock during law school and Obama doesn't.

46. Here ya go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton

A little info for you:

Rodham then entered Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action.<30> During her second year, she worked at the Yale Child Study Center,<31> learning about new research on early childhood brain development and working as a research assistant on the seminal work, Beyond the Best Interests of the Child (1973).<32><33> She also took on cases of child abuse at Yale-New Haven Hospital,<32> and volunteered at New Haven Legal Services to provide free advice for the poor.<31> In the summer of 1970, she was awarded a grant to work at Marian Wright Edelman's Washington Research Project, where she was assigned to Senator Walter Mondale's Subcommittee on Migratory Labor, researching migrant workers' problems in housing, sanitation, health and education;<34><35> Edelman would become a significant mentor to her.<35>

In the late spring of 1971, she began dating Bill Clinton, who was also a law student at Yale. That summer, she interned on child custody cases<36> at the Oakland, California, law firm of Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein,<37><38> which was well-known for its support of constitutional rights, civil liberties, and radical causes;<38> two of its four partners were current or former communist party members.<38><39><40> Clinton canceled his original summer plans in order to live with her in an apartment in Berkeley, California,<41> later writing, "I told her I'd have the rest of my life for my work and my ambition, but I loved her and I wanted to see if it could work out for us."<41> The romance did develop, and the couple continued living together in New Haven when they returned to law school.<39> The following summer, Rodham and Clinton campaigned in Texas for unsuccessful 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern.<42><43> She received a Juris Doctor degree from Yale in 1973,<8> having spent an extra year there in order to be with Clinton.<44> Clinton first proposed marriage to her following graduation, but she declined at the time.<44> She began a year of post-graduate study on children and medicine at the Yale Child Study Center.<45> Her first scholarly paper, "Children Under the Law", was published in the Harvard Educational Review in late 1973<46> and became frequently cited in the field.

[Barack_America]

60. So you agree that Obama then has 27 years of experience?

Starting with his work helping impoverished people in Chicago?

And when he spoke out against and was working to defeat Apartheid in 1981?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4129833

If you're counting law school, I'm counting community activism.

:hi:

[Lucinda]

67. He definitely gets credit with me from the time of his Roseland work forward

[jasmine621]

62. My grandson did a lot of social work while going to law school.

He is a strong activist against the war as well. He helped and has been helping poor and elderly people still. Saved a few from those scaming credit card companies.

[Konza]

35. 35 years ago Hillary was solving the problem of Global Climate Change. And then, you guessed it...

Al Gore again.

Al Gore is Hillary's Lex Luthor

[Lucinda]

43. Are you truly that uninformed? Or are you just on a pot-stirring adventure?

[rodeodance]

76. me thinks he wants others to do his reasearch for him.

[Lucinda]

78. me thinks my pot-stirrer point was closer to the mark

You are more generous than I :D

[rodeodance]

82. You make the ASSumption that Hills experience will not count up against McCain--does

that assumption apply to other candidates?



You can bet that the GOP are biting their tongues on this one. I can only imagine how this would play against McCain. Her whole "experience" rationale goes flying out the window as soon as he becomes the opponent.

[Lucinda]

87. ?

[Sparkly]

44. She was 25 and working at a local Walmart, preparing to help them do more evil.

Other than helping Walmart to do evil, she was just a housewife who baked cookies and raised her daughter. She couldn't even do that right, since she only had one and it's rumored Chelsea was once seen smoking a cigarette. What kind of mother raises a daughter like that?!?

Anyway, it's because she "has no experience" that there are no biographies of her anywhere to be found! Clearly, you've posted here only after Googling every search you could think of to find a factual biography of her. You'd think if she had any experience in life, she might have even written an autobiography, but you can look and look and never find one...

Maybe she was just put together as a Manchurian Bionic Robot Woman when Bill Clinton needed a wife in Arkansas.

:sarcasm:

[Konza]

45. 35 years ago Hillary came up with a plan that would really screw America

But George W. Bush stole that notebook. That son of a bitch....

[rinsd]

64. 35 years ago, she was working on the Children's Defense Fund.

She had graduated with her Juris Doctorate and did some postgrad work on children;s issues before becoming counsel for the Children;s Defense Fund.

A year later, she served as a member of the impeachment inquiry for the House Judiciary comittee dealing with Watergate.

36 years ago she worked on McGovern's campaign with Bill in Texas.

But I am sure the GOP is in total fear of Obama's 2 1/2 years in the Senate. :sarcasm:

[Barack_America]

69. 27 Years ago Obama was helping the poor and speaking out against Apartheid.

Just saying. If you're going to count activism as "executive experience" for one candidate, you've got to count it for the other.

[rinsd]

73. Of course Obama's activism counts as part of his experience.

That doesn't magically extend his time in the Senate.

[Barack_America]

74. Nor does Hillary's accomplishments in law school extend hers.

If she keeps running on that "experience" theme and makes it into the general election, McCain will annihilate her.

[BenDavid]

77. you obama folks are like a broken record...stuck and it repeats

over and over the same old shit....I hope hrc knocks out obama soon after the 2/5 elections and he can take his holier then thou attitude and leve the senate and start revival meetings.....what a tool.....

[Andromeda]

84. Oooooh, you are so bad....

:spank: And I love it!

[Jed Dilligan]

81. Wow, a sharp dresser with a great attitude...

[HughMoran]

83. Wow, this turned into a flamfest

This place is becoming a joke.

[Barack_America]

85. "Flamfest"?

Lol. As in a festival of deception? Or did you mean "flamefest'? I hope not, flamfest is better.
