OK, read this and tell me ifit's Pub BS or not.
Gold Star Mothers (G.S.M.)is an organization made up of women whose
Sons were killed in military combat during service in the United States Armed Forces.

Recently a delegation of New York State Gold Star Mothers made a trip to Washington D.C. , to discuss various concerns with their elected Representatives.
According to published reports, there was only one politician who refused to meet with these ladies.
Can you guess which politician that might be?
Was it New York Senator Charles Schumer? Nope, he met with them.
Try again.
Do you know anyone serving in the Senate who has never showed anything but
contempt for our military?
Do you happen to know the name of any politician in Washington who's husband once wrote of his loathing for the military?
Now you're getting warm! You got it!
None other than the Queen herself, Hillary Rotten Clinton!
She refused repeated requests to meet with the Gold Star Mothers.
Now, please don't tell me you're Surprised. This woman wants to be President of the United States --- and there is a huge percentage of Voters who are eager to help her achieve that
goal.
May you sleep in peace always...and please....hug or thank a Veteran for that privilege.
Think about this one !!!
Don't forget, our girl, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York Senator, now comes under this fancy congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan.
It's common knowledge that, in order for her to establish NYS residency,they purchased a million+ dollar house in upscale Chappaqua, NY
Makes sense.
Now, they are entitled to Secret Service protection for life.
Still makes sense.
Here is where it becomes interesting. The mortgage payments hover at about $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residency had to be built within the acreage in order to house the Secret Service agents.
The Clinton's now charge the Secret Service $10,000 monthly rent for the use of said Secret Service residence and that rent is just about equal to their mortgage payment, meaning that we, the tax payers, are paying the Clinton's mortgage, their transportation, their safety and security, their 12 man staff, and it's all perfectly legal.
Sincerely, Cmdr. Hamilton McWhorter
U.S.N.
(retired)
PS: Please forward this to as many people as you can. We don't want
this woman to even think of running for President.


I suspectall of this may be true,but not an exception. I want some infoonthe benies other past Presidents receive, other than the SS protection which applies to all the living ones).

The person who sent me this is a good friend of mine, and the only problem I have with her is that she is a PUB!

7. Where'd you get that POS....?
If some Freepoid sent it to you... cut and paste at Snopes and look around on their email for a big block of recipients. Send the Snopes piece to all of them.

I usually ask why it's necessary to continue to pass lies around.

11. Yup, it's all Pub BS. As Niyad said...
Check out Snopes.com, do a search for Gold Star Mothers and Hillary Clinton. It's all there.

I'm willing to bet your Pub friend won't check it our for herself, and wouldn't believe it if she did.

Sigh...the beat goes on!

13. Well, I sent her the link to snopes, and told her it was a lie.
Wether she will believe the truth or not, I have no idea. She's a smart woman and not the type to be snaggedby BS, so we'll see.

14. This is not the only one they have circulated
They had not circulating around about the families of the people killed in the Twin Towers from New York and they went to visit and every politic an saw them but Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton refused to see them. It was exactly the same word for word but Twin Towers families was inserted.

Do you see why Hillary clinton has an uphill battle. She can never hope to overcome the swiftboating the republics pull on her all the time. This is the type of insidious, vile, hateful and lying bunch of psychotic people they are. It is a shame that they can't be prosecuted for this type of stuff, but just look at the way coulter spews the crap over the airwaves telling people to KILL. And nothing is done. Look at the fact that coulter has committed three felonies in Florida by registering and voting in the wrong prescient. And registering a illegal address for a driver's license. And the authorities refuse to prosecute.

It you are a right tighty whitey you can get away with murder and they probably have.

15. Google's first hit for "Hamilton McWhorter"
http://www.nobodyaskedme.com/commentaries/2003/hillaryclintongoldstar.htm

Sounds like Cmdr. McWhorter was pretty sick of hearing about this as early as 2003.

:puke:

16. So the lying POS that sent this had to steal the identity of a hero
and a 90 yo hero at that.

Probably did so in case someone asked the POS to join up and serve.
