It's now a vast two-winged conspiracy: An expose of Hillary Rodham Clinton's extremist roots has appeared not in NATIONAL REVIEW but in The Nation. Tom Hayden, who as one of the Chicago Seven knows a little something about fringe radicalism, summarizes: "She was in Chicago for three nights during the 1968 street confrontations....

She was involved in the New Haven defense of [Black Panther] Bobby Seale during his murder trial in 1970, as the lead scheduler of student monitors.... Most significantly in terms of her recent attacks on Barack, after Yale law school, Hillary went to work for the left-wing Bay Area law firm of Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein, which specialized in defending Black Panthers and West Coast labor leaders prosecuted for being communists. Two of the firm's partners, according to Treuhaft, were communists and the two others 'tolerated communists.'" Robert Treuhaft, it should be noted, was no mere lefty sympathizer, but a dues-paying member of the Communist Party USA, which reported to Stalin. Between Senator Obama's racist pastor, his bomb-planting buddy Bill Ayers, and the network of terrorists who were the beneficiaries of Clinton pardons--FALN bombers, cop-killing Weathermen &c.--the two Democrats offer a sanguinary account of what was and is wrong with the Left in America. Voters should remember where Senator McCain was while Clinton and the rest of the tea-party radicals were courting Communists at Yale.
