UPDATE: VETTY-VETTY-VET-VET
Also along the lines of my earlier post: Carl Bernstein in a piece shaming Hillary for having attacked Obama using guilt-by-association tactics on his "ties" with Weather Underground member William Ayers, puts some more meat on the bones of Hillary's own ties to controversial 60's figures. Apparently she only gives her work with the Oakland lawfirm (Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein) which defended the Black Panthers a single line in her bio "Living History".
This is not to say that her associations with "communists" mean anything -they don't (I mean really dude, that's sooooo 50-years-ago.), but that it's appalling that she would attack Obama with that weapon when his "ties" pale in comparison to hers. It's like grabbing the blade of a sword and trying to bludgeon someone with the handle.
And once again: has this been "vetted"? NO.

Vetted? She'd look like Ayers by the time the GOP was done.

And with George on Sunday, she said that she would not release the Clinton Library and Foundation donors until after she became President.
Baggage? Why not ask about how her brother earned hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to secure pardons. Why not ask shy Marc Rich was given a pardon and whether she supported it. Why not ask whether she supported the pardons for Weather Underground members by Clinton or the FALN.
She has never explained exactly how those "missing" Rose Law Firm files just happened to turn up after the statute of limitation passed. Or how she got the FBI to prosecute the poor folks at the White House travel office, who were then exonerated.
Or how she is so smart at making money in pork bellies.
