Senator Hillary Clinton (NY) after 9/11 -- Families Ignored?
Do any of you remember the weeks after 9/11 perhaps watching the O'Reilly Show on Fox, with him discussing with some ladies about not being able to get access to Senator Hillary Clinton?
I seem to remember O'Reilly criticizing Hillary about not helping families that lost loved ones during 9/11 attackes. I also remember something about Hillary refusing to attend any of the funerals of those lost.
If ANYBODY has some information about this, please let me know.
Thanks

You lazy twit, you're too stupid to Google and should be banned for incompetence. Here you go, go back to your scummy masters and get some more smear ideas, tell them this one didn't work very well.
================================================
Since his original attack on Clinton on the November 27, 2001, edition of FOX News' The O'Reilly Factor, in which O'Reilly complained that "the only events we know she attended were three highly publicized memorial services," O'Reilly has regularly summarized the controversy, much as he did in the above quotation, by explaining simply that "Hillary Clinton didn't go to one funeral or one memorial service of any of the regular folks killed at the World Trade Center, even though she's a senator of New York" (O'Reilly Factor, 5/13/02). But he rarely mentions that Clinton attended several memorial services or explains why the victims commemorated by the events she attended were not "regular folks."
In fact, Clinton delivered a eulogy at a memorial for 79 employees of the rooftop restaurant atop World Trade Center Tower One, according to an article in the October 2, 2001, New York Daily News. She also attended the memorial for Reverend Mychal Judge, chaplain of the New York Fire Department, whom she had met at a White House prayer breakfast. On the January 17, 2002, edition of CNN's Greenfield at Large, she added, "I also have visited in the hospital one victim and met with many, many, many other victims who were either out of the hospital or who lost a loved one."
