-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- From: Alexandra H. Mulkern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Letterman Secret Service 'Threat' Not a First for Hillary Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff If staffers on the David Letterman Show threatened to sic the Secret Service on any audience member who shouted or booed during Hillary Clinton's "Late Show" debut, it wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened. An on-the-scene report swirling around the internet late Wednesday claimed that Letterman staffers repeatedly warned the audience beforehand, "Put your politics aside. This is a comedy show -- no booing, no shouting. And if you don't listen to us you can talk to the Secret Service." The New York Daily News confirmed that Hillary's "Late Show" audience was warned not to "boo, whistle or shout political slogans," but omitted any mention of Secret Service connected threats. A "Late Show" press spokeswoman contacted Thursday by NewsMax.com would say only that the Secret Service did not engage in any overly intrusive security measures, such as pat down frisks or metal detectors. But as to whether the audience was deliberately intimidated to spare Mrs. Clinton any embarassment, she respondeed, "I don't know what they were told. I wasn't out there." As outrageous as it may seem, reports of the Secret Service being misused to shield Mrs. Clinton from embarassing media moments are not new. During a fundraising swing though the Southwest in June 1996, for instance, The Arizona Republic reported a similar incident: "Reporters at the Monday afternoon speech were kept at arm's length from the First Lady by Secret Service agents, who warned the press not to yell out questions." Hours earlier, the Supreme Court had rejected a White House bid to keep some of Mrs. Clinton's Whitewater records sealed. Incensed by the abuse of both the presidential security detail and the First Amendment, Arizona Rep. Matt Salmon complained to The Washington Times, "It appears (the President) has targeted the Secret Service to silence his critics. The Secret Service is paid to protect the President and his family from physical harm, not to protect them from tough questions." President Clinton has himself sicced the Secret Service on critics he thought went too far. Pat Mendoza, who was at the "Taste of Chicago" food fair in July 1996, was actually arrested along with her husband Glenn for merely speaking her mind, albeit in a vulgar manner, as Clinton attempted to shake her hand. "You suck and those boys died," Mrs. Mendoza erupted, referring to the still unsolved Khobar Towers bombing a month earlier, which had taken the lives of 19 Marines stationed in Saudi Arabia. Then, according to Mrs. Mendoza's account to The Washington Times, "Mr. Clinton looked at her for a moment, then motioned to an assistant before moving down the line. After the President left, Secret Servcie agents converged on Mrs. Mendoza, accusing her of threatening the President." Seconds before the Secret Service swooped down, a videotape shot by Chicago's WMAQ-TV shows Clinton pointing out the Mendozas to White House enforcer Bruce Lindsey. That video has never been broadcast nationally. After their arrest, the Mendozas spent 14 hours in a Cook County lock-up. Though the Secret Service eventually dropped all charges, the couple, who ran a small electronics business, was soon audited by the Clinton IRS. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
