Hillary a Jew Hater? New Book Confirms NewsMax Scoop
A new book on the marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton confirms charges first made to NewsMax.com last September by Arkansas state trooper Larry Patterson, who alleged that the first lady is no stranger to anti-Semitic outbursts, especially when she gets angry.
Trooper Patterson was bodyguard to the Clintons from 1986 to 1993.
"It was quite common," Patterson told NewsMax.com executive editor Christopher Ruddy, for Hillary to refer to Bill as a "Jew mother-f - - - - r" or a "Jew Bastard" during heated arguments. Bill would return fire in kind, the Clinton bodyguard said.
Patterson made the revelations in a two hour audiotape, "More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed!" published by NewsMax.com.
Now a new book by Jerry Oppenheimer -- State of the Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton -- backs up Patterson's charge in spades.
"In one particularly shocking passage," reported cybersleuth Matt Drudge on Friday, "Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack in which Hillary screams at him, 'You f - - -king Jew Bastard!'"
Two sourced eyewitnesses confirmed to Oppenheimer that they heard the verbal assault, says Drudge.
"One anti-Semitic slur slung in anger hardly defines a person," Oppenheimer reportedly cautions.
But again, Patterson alleged that such incidents were "quite common" in the Clinton household.
That observation finds support in the revelations of one-time Clinton insider Dick Morris, who told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity in November about another disurbing incident with distinctly anti-Semitic over-tones.
Here's how NewsMax.com covered Morris' bombshell at the time:
Onetime White House political guru Dick Morris alleged Thursday night that first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton once insulted him by suggesting that, as a Jew, he was obsessed by money.
"That's all you people care about is money!" Mrs. Clinton shouted, after Morris requested a pay raise during a meeting while Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. Morris, who is Jewish by birth, told Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes that Hillary's anti-Semitic outburst came as she "exploded in anger" over his request.
Morris says his account of Hillary's anti-Jewish insult will be included in Gail Sheehy's upcoming biography of the first lady, Hillary's Choice.
The former Clinton confidante detailed two separate examples to Fox News Channel illustrating Mrs. Clinton's apparent personal discomfort with Jews. Jewish voters comprise a significant portion of the electorate in New York — a state the first lady hopes to represent in the U.S. Senate.
Hours before his appearance on Fox, NewsMax.com questioned Morris on Sean Hannity's WABC radio show. When asked about the account of former Clinton bodyguard Larry Patterson, who alleged in September that fights between Bill and Hillary would often degenerate into shouting matches laced with anti-Semitic vulgarities, Morris, a Fox consultant, promised he would address the issue on Hannity & Colmes.
The mainstream press has completely ignored Patterson's charge that both Clintons privately indulged in bigoted and hateful language.
But now, with Patterson's claims bolstered by Morris's twin anecdotes, questions about Mrs. Clinton's true feelings toward Jews may be more difficult to dismiss.
Morris's account appears here verbatim for the first time in print:
HANNITY: Let's talk about this new book that's coming out about the Clintons by Gail Sheehy. You were interviewed for it and the questions about charges of anti-Semitism by the Clintons. What did you tell her?
MORRIS: Well, I'm not going to draw conclusions — it concerned Hillary, not Bill. And I'm not prepared to draw a conclusion as to whether she's anti-Semitic or not. I will just present you with the facts that I gave Gail Sheehy.
HANNITY: OK.
MORRIS: I'm Jewish. And I would often go to the governor's mansion and I would often have dinner with them. And it was kind of a joke. Every time before dinner, Hillary would take me aside and say, "Dick, I'm sorry. We're having pork. I just wasn't thinking about it.” And I would say, "It's OK, Hillary, I don't mind pork.” And the third and the fourth time, I finally said, "You've asked me this four times. I eat pork. I like pork.” So we joked about it, we kidded about it.
Then about a year later, I was having a meeting in the breakfast room in the governor's mansion with Betsy [Wright, Clinton's then-chief of staff], Hillary, Bill and me. And Bill and I were fighting about my fee. I was pushing for more money.
HANNITY: That's something a good consultant would do.
MORRIS: And Hillary was upset because of the limited income they had to live with and that I was making so much money from their campaign. And she was getting really annoyed at me for the battle. And she exploded in anger and I'll just quote her. She said:
"That's all you people care about is money!”
And I backed up. And I said, "Hillary, I assume by 'you people,' you mean political consultants.
And she said, "Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant, political consultants."
And I said, "I'm glad to hear that." |
