Hillary Beaten, Jailed For Anti-Bush Activities By Red Square 11/25/2007, 4:02 pm What Cliff claims America is like under Bush, and what he dreams of for Bush, Cheney, Rove and the rest of us conservatives in the “progressive America” he wants: IOWA - A day after Russian police beat up and arrested the opposition leader Garry Kasparov, the Bush Administration followed suit and ordered a beating and arrest of Hillary Clinton, Ushanka news agency reports. Former First Lady Hillary Clinton was picked up and sentenced to five days in prison on Sunday, during a campaign stop in Iowa that ended in clashes with police. One of Bush's harshest critics, she was charged with organizing an unsanctioned procession, chanting pro-Big-Government slogans and resisting arrest, court documents said. ~ Third World leaders find Bush's attack on America's freedoms alarming. ________________________________________ Hillary's coalition, which includes radicals, Democrats, and Nixon-era dissidents, has drawn wide media coverage but generated little public support. Its ranks have expanded, though, as more foreign dictators complain that officials have excluded them from freely contesting the upcoming U.S. elections. ________________________________________ The violence came amid an election campaign in which Russian and American presidential candidates alike have complained of being sidelined and hobbled by official harassment. Following Kremlin's example, the White House has mounted a major campaign to orchestrate a crushing victory for Bush's Republican Party in 2008 presidential elections, to ensure that Bush can continue to rule the U.S. even after he steps down as president. Hillary and dozens of her supporters were forced to the ground and beaten, her assistant said in a telephone interview from outside the police station where Hillary was held, as men in black coats who refused to identify themselves circulated through the crowd shooting video. At the hastily organized trial, two local police testified that they had been ordered before the rally to arrest Hillary. "I didn't hear any orders from police," Hillary told the court, "unless you count the strike of a police club as an order. Bush's brakes don't work. What you read in the Bush-controlled mainstream media is the fruit of a fantasy dictated on orders from above." The fracas happened at a time of growing concern over the state of democracy in America, with critics in Third World dictatorships saying freedoms have been curtailed during Bush's seven years in office. Bush accuses the Third World dictatorships of meddling in U.S. politics. Among the dozens of demonstrators arrested was Ron Paul, Hillary's closest partner in a coalition of anti-Bush organizations, who was later released after flashing his GOP credentials. Police in other American cities, including New Orleans and Los Angeles, detained local opposition leaders, according to the Ushanka news agency. On Friday, the Arlington, VA offices of Hillary for President Committee were searched by police who seized campaign materials, as the headquarters of the opposition Democrat Party was vandalized by Young Republicans, the DNC Chairman said. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and DNC Black Caucus Chair Virgie Rollins called Hillary "one more victim of the authoritarian regime of Bush, where the physical destruction of your political opponents has become the norm."
