Here's some good news: from NewsMax.com Friday August 11, 2000; 9:35 AM EDT Conservative Truth Squad to Bankroll Hillary Scandal Ads Concerned that the mainstream press has kept New York voters in the dark about senate candidate Hillary Clinton's central role in eight years of White House scandals, a group of prominent conservatives plans to launch a get-the-truth-out ad blitz in the final months of the campaign. The "Emergency Committee to Stop Hillary Rodham Clinton" seeks to raise a $9 million to bankroll a series of fifteen TV ads that will "show voters in New York State the real Hillary Clinton," according to the group's first fund-raising letter, obtained by Newsday on Friday. Mrs. Clinton is "a key figure in: the Chinagate scandal, the FBI 'filegate' scandal, the 'cattlegate' bribery scandal, the 'travelgate' scandal (and) the Whitewater fraud that cost taxpayers $69 million," the "Stop Hillary" the letter goes on to explain. Committee founders include former Reagan aide Lyn Nofziger, former attorney general Ed Meese, presidential candidate Alan Keyes and former Congressman "B-1" Bob Dornan, according to the group's letterhead. To date, Mrs. Clinton's senate opponent Congressman Rick Lazio has avoided raising her role in the first couple's scandals, despite polls showing that the issue resonates with New York voters. In June a Marist College survey revealed that those who dislike Mrs. Clinton cite her lack of honesty and integrity as their number one concern. Close behind were complaints about how she's handled her marriage, a thinly veiled reference to the first lady's apparent tolerance of her husband's predatory behavior, which includes everything from oral sex with underlings in the Oval Office to allegations of rape. When contacted about the "Stop Hillary" ad campaign Thursday, Lazio spokesman Dan McLagan told Newsday, "I've never heard of the group, and they've done nothing in the race." In its fund-raising letter, the group said it was not connected to the Suffolk County Republican in any way, a posture that would allow the committee to be "much tougher with our ads and 'voter communications' programs than the Lazio campaign." The "Emergency Committee to Stop Hillary" also plans to launch a newspaper ad blitz and mount a phone bank operation to inform voters one on one.
