Madame Hillary: The Dark Road to the White House

One of the most useful aspects of this important and entertaining book is the light it sheds on how the Clintons (both of them) habitually respond to any criticism: (1) Vigorously deny it; (2) Launch ad hominem attacks on the critic; (3) Act personally victimized by the criticism ("Why do they hate me?"); and (4) Say the critic is obsessing over "old news." Some of the reviews on this page prove their supporters have learned the script well.The Clintons and their scandals are hardly old news, given that she is a powerful US Senator and presumptive candidate for the presidency. Bob Tyrrell has had the Clintons' number from the beginning. And in this book, he picks up the late Barbara Olsen's torch as the writer with perhaps the clearest understanding of Hillary Clinton, her deeply radical, if deeply camouflaged, designs for our country, her lust for power, and how she intends to go about winning it.The problem is that the Clintons arouse such strong feelings, both pro and con, that it can be difficult to separate the facts from the *Kultursmog* (such a great word -- I've admired it for years). Tyrrell and coauthor Mark Davis have done the heavy lifting for us, giving us chapter-and-verse not only on the Clintons' Arkansas and White House years, but also Madame Hillary's journey "from Methodism to Maoism" (p. 120) and into the ranks of Coat and Tie Radicals. Like Olsen, Tyrrell sees the heavy hand of Saul Alinsky not only in her early radical years, but also in her approach to politics and power even today. This is enlightening and disturbing reading.I've always suspected that one of the things the Left hates most about Bob Tyrrell is not just that he skewers them so thoroughly, but that he has such fun doing it (Ann Coulter commits this sin too). This book "was a pleasure to write," he notes on page 209, and I have no doubt he means it. It was a pleasure to read, too. Tyrrell has always had a way with language that recalls some of the great polemicists, Mencken being the most obvious comparison. But the key to Tyrrell is that he backs up his entertaining and sometimes idiosyncratic language not only with solid research -- kudos to coauthor Davis here -- but also with a rational train of argument and conclusions that flow logically from the facts presented (far be it from me to suggest Ann Coulter sometimes parts company with him here, to say nothing of scurrilous windbags like Michael Moore, but I can see how you might reach that conclusion).Hillary Clinton is going to remain a political force in this country for a long time to come. So long as she does, this book will be an important reminder not only of the fraudulence of her so-called "accomplishments" (which are what ... exactly?), but also of her true motivations, goals, and a track record that -- Point Four above notwithstanding -- should be much on the mind of the American voter. That makes "Madame Hillary" a book to keep handy for the next decade or so, at least.

One of the most talked about things in politics is if and when Hillary will run for the White House. Who would know better than someone who has covered or uncovered the Clintons and Hillary over the year than Emmett Tryrell.Tyrell's Magazine, the American Spectator, has given Americans an interesting look into the Clinton White House and Hillary. Tyrell's book delves into the almost forbidden topic of Hillary as President, and his detailed information is simply amazing.Along with Tyrell is Mark Davis, who brings to light things no one else has ever released. These two make an unbeatable pair in exposing the truth of why Hillary wants the White House and what she has and is doing to get there.I was most impressed by how much information is given throughout this entire book. It was a quick read of only 4 hours and it ranks as one of the best insights ever written. Overall if you are looking to see the real sides of the game, than you are ready for this book.

LISTEN UP all you political Junkies out there in America, There is something rotten in the capital and her name is Madam Hillary. This book should be required reading for any politcal junkie. It exposes the truth behind the most powerful senator in the nation. This book will make your blood curdle because this stuff is so true what she is doing. I am not a conservative but when you look at who we have running Kerry or Bush. Bush looks more appealing. The question will she bide her time and run in 08 assuming that Bush wins or will she accept the VP nomination. Whatever the case maybe, this is a must read and it will tell you just how power hungry she really is. All those PACS and what not. She is a real threat not to be taken lightly. Unless you want to wake up one day and say president elect Clinton again. R. Emmett Tryyell is doing a service to the public by writing this book it is funny and scary at the same time. So for any political Junkie out their READ IT.

I should start this review by saying I used to subscribe to the liberal agenda. I believed in state sponsored dole programs, government intervention in the affairs of everyday life, and the use of the judiciary to bring about change. Yes, my friends, I even voted for Bill Clinton in 1996. Then, about six or seven years ago, I experienced what I can only describe as an epiphanic experience, a Kuhnian paradigm shift in my political outlook. Several factors accounted for my sudden migration away from the liberal cosmology. Arguably the largest influence on my new sense of the world occurred from reading history. I quickly saw that the ideas of today's elites didn't jibe with reality, that these concepts had been tried before and had always failed. Even worse, not only did liberalism fail, it brought about the end of civilizations. The scandals emanating from the Clinton White House also did a lot to dampen my enthusiasm for the liberal "truths." Anyone who could blindly support the Clintons despite the deluge of lies, smears, and outright crimes perpetrated by the dynamic duo are truly pathetic creatures in dire need of help. The idea of Hillary Clinton running for, let alone winning, the presidency of this great nation is a notion that sends chills down my spine. "Hillary for President" also scares R. Emmett Tyrrell and Mark W. Davis, so much so that the two conservatives decided to write this slim novel outlining the ways Hillary will attempt to usher in an era of far left quackery the likes of which even Lenin, Stalin, and Mao could not have foreseen. According to Tyrrell and Davis, Hillary Clinton's background as a "coat and tie radical" in the 1960s and 1970s, along with her subsequent record as First Lady and her Senate career, should disqualify her from serving as President of the United States. The authors outline in ghastly detail the real Hillary Clinton, from her early work as a pro-Marxist ideologue following the tenets of radical troublemaker Saul Alinsky, to her article calling for the complete liberation of children from their parents, to her weird relationship with Willie. What emerges is a portrait of a woman so inebriated with power, so in love with herself and her pro-communist vision for America, that she will do almost anything to attain the Oval Office. Watching horror films and reading horror novels is one of my favorite hobbies, and let me tell you right here and now that "Madame Hillary" is one of the most horrific books I have ever read. Although the authors seem to think there is hope for stopping Hillary and her extremist agenda even if the public does put her into office in 2008, I have grave doubts whether the country could long survive another Clinton administration.Could Hillary Clinton become president in 2008? According to "Madame Hillary," anything is possible where the Clintons are involved. The attention seeking former first family never passes up an opportunity to grab the spotlight even at the expense of the cu

MADAME HILLARYTHE DARK ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSEThis is probably the most focused and serious book I've read by Mr. Tyrrell. He clearly suppressed his considerable talent for amusingly limning the Clintons as the clowns that they are to deliver instead a steady, updated, and well-informed account of what they are up to and why we need to remain concerned with their machinations. The Clintons takeover and manipulations of the Democratic Party are described well and documented early in the book. The Clintons today, as demonstrated by Tyrrell and Davis, bring things to the Democratic Party that allow them to shape it and perhaps even control it. Namely, these things are star status among the liberal true believers from the gays to the feminists to the muddle-minded suburban housewives, connections to Hollywood, and more important in the today's Democratic Party than the other things, they bring money. Hillary is a major player at collecting it and distributing it to those who play the game she wants them to play. This doling out of funding has made her a player who is, in the words of the authors, "Steering the Senate." Hillary's quick emergence to high power and other examples in the book about someone whom most of us never thought could get elected to the US Senate should cause us to take seriously Tyrrell's suspicions that Hillary is aligning herself to move back into the White House.The Clintons efforts to take further control of the Democratic Party can be seen in the information and examples the authors offer up. Some of these examples provided of how they are doing this are their setting up of a Left Wing Think Tank [the Center for American Progress], their advocating and supporting the setting up of openly left wing TV and radio, Hillary's HILLPAC and Hill's Angels, their ties to Democratic Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe and billionaire left-wing Bush hater George Soros, their ties to union leaders like John Sweeney President of the AFL-CIO, their continued hold on the greatest Hollywood fund raisers, and Bill Clintons ability to motivate black voters are just a few of the topics the authors discuss in their outline of the Clintonian techniques for controlling the party.In their chapter "Livid History," the authors provided information of particular interests to me. Here Tyrrell and Davis reviewed Hilary's 8 million dollar book Living History. Tyrrell and Davis recount all the reckless and gratuitous mendacities Hillary tried to put behind her in her version of history as she described it. As the authors see it, Hillary tackled these controversies to assure her political viability and to make her political rise all the more possible, so she spun stories about the scandals that have surrounded her and her husband. ... To set the record straight, Tyrrell and Davis perforce deftly debunk Hillary's portrayal of Watergate, Travel Gate, Foster Gate, Cattle Futures Gate, Trooper Gate, Monica Gate, and Pardon Gate, to name a few. The autho
