New Hampshire Independents, as in Iowa and elsewhere, will also discover and reassess the little-known ugly truth about Hillary Clinton. The U.S. Senator for New York is no genuine friend of democracy, inclusion, and Independents.

Ask members of the New York City Independence Party, Independence Party of New York (IPNY), the Committee for a Unified Independent Party (CUIP), and especially 1992 presidential candidate and Independent activist Lenora Fulani. In 2005, Clinton engineered a bogus bigot-bating campaign to have Dr. Fulani eliminated as an executive member of the IPNY State Executive Committee. Though never substantially confirmed or affirmed by anyone, especially Fulani's many Jewish friends and supporters, Senator Clinton hyped the claim that the New York City Independent activist was an anti-Semite to the state's Jewish voters. Fulani's longtime political mentor and CUIP's veteran political strategist Fred Newman, also Jewish, knew better.

Senator Clinton forced IPNY chairman Frank MacKay and vice chairman Thomas Connolly to dump Dr. Fulani from her executive post before the state IPNY organization was allowed to endorse Clinton's senatorial campaign. The demonization and attempted termination of Fulani, including the effort to disband New York City's five-county Independent organizations, effectively was designed to disenfranchise the thousands of very active and mostly Black New York City Independents Fulani represents. Divide, conquer, and win election was Mrs. Clinton's mission.

New York State's Supreme Court ruled in Dr. Fulani's favor, affirming New York City Independents' right to fair and equal representation as voters within the state. New York State Supreme Court Judge Emily Jane Goodman stated, "While the Court is not going to speculate on the motive for bringing this Petition now...it appears to be more political than philosophical."

History and facts, no matter how hidden from present day campaigns, always focus avid and aware voters. New York City's Independents remember all too well. The once likeable First Lady Clinton of the 1990s is justifiably not a truly democratic, likeable or electable 2008 presidential candidate.

i am a Asian citizen from India and i have been following the us elections very seriously what i want to express that us is the super power and what ever happens in the country effects the entire world , when you listen to the debate of sen hillary clinton and sen obama , there is no doubt that sen hillary fails to reach out to the masses as her words as well as the expressions on her face look very deceiving and all over the world people need change in the political arena, the masses have to vote for the younger generation who can bridge the gap between the east and the west and i feel sen obama is the person who can bring change and security for the masses all over the world with his modern thinking with out being prejudice to race religion and the nation.

Dear Editor:
When White Women cry, Blackmen Died: Senator Obama and the (Re)Birth of a Nation

Historian, Lerone Bennet, Jr. notes that slavery in America was not imposed on Blacks because of their color, but because of the deliberate invention of men who systemically separated Blacks and Whites to make money. Senator Obama�s campaign and unifying message appears to speak of the early birth of our nation�pre Jim Crow-- when Blacks, White indentured servants, and enslaved Indians worked on the plantation, socialized, reproduced and forged alliance to resist the cruelty of the big business--plantation owners.
However, in a throw back to scenes in the movie, The Birth of a Nation, prior to the New Hampshire elections , Senator Clinton cried and white folks mobilized to protect her honor by lynching the presidential aspiration of the black man�senator Obama�who caused her to cry.
In the movie, Birth of a Nation, we see examples of how white women tears mobilized the KKK and other whites to come to their rescue. Ironically, in this movie, we have a carpet bagger from the north, we have a mulatto politician, we have a white woman who cried, and a black man who died. There is also a misleading scene where Blacks became an elective majority by defrauding Whites of their votes. What must also be known is that after the movie, the KKK and some other Whites went on a lynching spree of blacks men--to make sure they would never make another white woman cry. Also, white women have long used tears to accuse or have black men lynched for "violating them," even when the relationship was consentual.
Thankfully, it was not in the times of the movie, for, like the fate of many black men, Senator Obama would have been lynched. Perhaps Senator Clinton�s tears also stemmed from the fact that like in the movie, she saw herself being forced to become a running mate to a powerful mulatto politician. Whatever it was, it was deliberate and appealed to racial stereotype of the lowest common demeanor.
