Got this lovely email tonight from my darling bro and his wife - I shot the snopes debunking right back -
http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/panthers.aspjust wanted to let everyone know it is floating around again, and vent about stupid people especially relatives that feel they must bait you.
The email (and it is disgusting)
Conveniently Forgotten Facts. 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. 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 an
eastern Connecticut 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 Huggins 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 you know the rest of the story.
Pass this on! This deserves the widest possible press.
& also remember it, when, she runs for President.
