I do not know if this is true, but a telling read just the same!
THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES!
By Paul Harvey
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 Kimrbo 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, as Paul Harvey said; "You know the rest of the story". Pass this on! This deserves the widest possible press. Also remember it, when, she runs for President.

The right is dying to believe almost anything in print that supports hate and separatism.

As much as I have just been accused of the above ........ :mad:
And as much as I would like to believe it ........ :argue:
I'm sitting here scouring the web about to debunk parts of it. :cool:
From: http://www.truthminers.com/hoaxarticles/hilary_for_the_defense.htm
One of the people charged was the leader of the group, Bobby Seales. From all accounts, Seales was not present during Rackley's torture or murder. The man who took up his defense was attorney Charles Garry.
In 1969, Hillary Clinton WAS NOT an attorney, but a law student. She worked as assistant to Charles Garry. One of her duties during the Seales trial was to organize groups of Yale students to attend and observe the trial. Of all the cases involved in Rackley's murder, this one was the most high profile since the accused had not been present during any of the events. Clinton was not directly involved in the defense of Seales, nor did she have anything to do with the defense of Kimbro or Huggins.
Clinton was not involved with "shutting down Yale with demonstrations," since that never happened at all. There were certainly protests over the Seales trial, but nothing on a grand scale. Although the Kent State protests turned ugly and lethal a few days later, the Yale protests were pretty tame. There is some scant evidence that Clinton may have helped organize some of these protests. However, the last time I checked, that is the right of every U.S. citizen when they feel that an injustic is happening.
Lee's connection with all of this is even more tenuous. Mr. Lee had nothing to do with the trials or the defense of any of these or the other Black Panthers that were to be tried for this case. He was not a lawyer, nor even a law student, but a Yale undergrad. His sole involvement in this particular case is that he expressed solidarity with the Black Panthers in that he believed that many of these trials were unfair since some being tried were not participants in the crime. He also appears to have been involved with protests.
Oh, and Paul Harvey never told this story. Urban Legends Zeitgeist says that "The email closely resembles part of an article by John McCaslin's 'Inside the Beltway' column that appeared in the June 12, 1998 issue of the Washington Times." They also say that commentator Neal Boortz has claimed the article, but they've been unable to find any verification of this. The last I heard, this great missive was reprinted in the tabloid called the Weekly World News. You the know, the one you see in the grocery store line with articles and pictures about aliens, creature people, etc. That's trustworthy reading (snicker!).
Now here seems to be a fairly accurate depiction of the events arround the murder and trial:

This looks like another pretty accurate account of the surrounding events, Harvard's own newspaper:
