Paul's movie isn't the only one that is lobbing accusations at Hillary Clinton. Citizens United, another group that long has been involved in efforts against the Clintons, is selling "Hillary: the Movie" online and was in federal court recently over its attempt to run ads for the film in primary states during election season. The ads contain clips from the movie, including one of former Clinton adviser Dick Morris saying that Hillary Clinton "is the closest thing we have to a European socialist." A three-judge panel ruled this week that the ads amounted to electioneering and could be run only with a disclaimer and only if Citizens United disclosed its donors to the FEC.

Given the passions, pro and con, that Hillary and Bill Clinton seem to ignite, it's a good bet we can expect more such films before the election is over.

We are up to about 5 million hits. She just got decimated in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. Absolutely decimated. I guess the drive-by hit piece didn't have the desired effect.

re performance of Cher- Viveca contends that Cher was not solicited by Hillary and that someone else had done that. Lack of knowledge about this case should be embarrassing to her (but it apparently isn't). Yes, Aaron Tonken indeed made the initial request. But there is more to the story. What Viveca did not tell you is that two of the performers, Cher and Diana Ross, required a direct phone call from Hillary. Hillary called both of them (she admitted on tape talking to Cher) and sealed the deal. Without Hillary acting as the closer, they would not have performed. Yes, she absolutely solicited them. The other performers were not solicited directly by her.
