    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 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 were 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.

    If you read nothing else today, please read this and pass on!

    O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther defender now a schoolboard 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. Please go to TruthOrFiction.com on the internet and type in Alex Rackley, Black Panthers & Hillary Clinton and see for yourself that this is the

    Hillary Clinton Once Supported Black Panthers on Trial For Murder-Truth!





    Summary of eRumor:
    According to the eRumor, in the late 1960's, two Black Panthers were tried for murder in the death of a fellow Black Panther, Alex Rackley. Rackley was tortured before being killed. The Panthers who were tried, Warren Kimbro and Erica Huggins, escaped prosecution thanks, in part, to the defense of Hillary Clinton. Warren Kimbro went on to Harvard and became Assistant Dean of Eastern Connecticut State College. Erica Huggins was elected to a school board.
    bullet The Truth:
    This eRumor has developed a life of its own with differing interpretations of what is true or not true about it.

    It circulated widely during Hillary Rodham Clinton's year 2000 run for the U.S. Senate and obviously came from a critic.

    According to published accounts, Alex Rackley was a Panther recruit from New York who was tortured and killed in New Haven, Connecticut because he was suspected of being a police informant. Twelve Panthers were indicted including Warren Kimbro, Erica Huggins, and Panther leader Bobby Seale. Contrary to the email, Kimbro was not proven to be the "shooter" and did not stand trial, but did plead guilty to second degree murder. He was later released from prison and admitted to Harvard. We have not found evidence that he was a college dean. Another Panther was convicted of having fired the fatal shot and was sentenced to life in prison. Huggins and Seale were tried together, but the jury deadlocked and their cases were dismissed.

    The Bobby Seales trial drew protests, not because the protestors approved of murder, but they felt that the Panthers were being treated unfairly by the authorities and that Seales, who was not personally involved in the killing, should not have been tried. There were demonstrations at Yale, but they were peaceful, did not "shut down" the university.

    John Elvin of Insight magazine looked into the Hillary-Panthers eRumor as well as how it was handled by some urban legends sites and wrote his findings in an article that appeared in July of 2000. He quotes former sixties radical David Horowitz as saying that both Hillary Rodham and Bill Lann Lee organized demonstrations at Yale against the Panther trial. Elvin also says, "Insight reviewed biographies of Hillary Clinton by Milton, Brock and Roger Morris for this story and lengthy selections from such other biographies as Barbara Olson’s Hell to Pay. Together, relying on primary and other firsthand sources, they unquestionably back Horowitz’s contention that Hillary was a campus leader during the Panther protests."

    Commentator Joseph Farah says she also assisted Seales' lawyer, Charles Garry.

    That was all a long time ago and most of us would not want to be characterized by our views and activities in college or graduate school, but, for whatever it's worth, they do become a part of our story.

      Black Panthers and Hilary Clinton

      May 2002

      I have been seeing this one in various versions for the last few years. Probably the best analysis I have seen is on the snopes site. Essentially, Hilary Clinton (Former first lady and senator) and Bill Laun Lee (acting head of the Justice Department's civil rights division) are supposed to have defended the panthers and helped the murderers get off. The facts are that Mr. Lee was only an undergraduate at the time and Senator Clinton was a law student who was observing the trial for civil rights violations. Because they were there, this piece tries to make them culpable in the murder. This is a classic example of the logical fallacy, "Guilt by Association".

      Paul Harvey's name was added to the hoax a couple of years later to try to make it appear legitimate but he had nothing to do with it.
