Hillary Clinton began her political career as a volunteer for Barry Goldwater, she was proudly a "Goldwater Girl".
She was 16 years old when Barry Goldwater ran for President. Someone who actually knows something about Clinton could have picked a much better example. In 1968, while at Wellesley, she summer interned for Congressman Mel Laird (later Sec of Defense) at the Republican Congressional election committee. She attended the Republican Convention in Miami while working for Laird and then attended the Democratic convention in Chicago the same summer as an unpaid McCarthy volunteer. She was head of the Wellesley Republicans when she started campaigning for McCarthy. But, of couse, you know absolutely nothing about Clinton so you picked the absurd attack that she was Goldwater girl in high school.

Her other "alliances" have been working for a law firm with other attorneys who were acknowledged communists. From Goldwater then to communists...
Wow, I'm shocked that Ken Starr missed the fact that there were Communists working in the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arizona. Amazing. I never in a million years would have pegged a Brooks Bros. corporate law firm in Little Rock, Arkansas of all places as a hotbed of "communism". Have you shared this with the FBI?

I assume that you are all befuddled with mixed up stories and are talking about the college senior thesis she wrote about Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky, who has probably been cited for Communist "leanings". Clinton turned down a job with Alinsky after college and instead worked with Marian Wright Edelman's Childrens Defense Fund during Yale Law School.

Rose is the only law firm Clinton has ever worked for. She worked for the Sentate Watergate Committee. And, she was appointed to the Legal Services Corporation by Jimmy Carter and later became chairman of that national organization provides legal services for indigent clients. It's an quasi-independent agency of the federal government.

You might be confusing Clinton with Obama. He did go to work for some Alinsky derivative community groups in Chicago and studied his techniques. Omaba's father was a Marxist. His grandfather was a member of the Communist Party. But, I wouldn't hold that against Obama.
