Hypocrisy alert – Hillary on Barack and the Weathermen

Hillary Clinton claims, after bashing Barack Obama for his alleged connections to Weather Underground former member Bill Ayers, and Obama calling her on the carpet for Bill’s end-of-administration pardon of Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg, that she didn’t know anything about that.

Not true; the real story, via Newsday:
On October 19, 2000, as Hillary was hunting for Senate votes throughout New York, Rockland County's biggest paper, the Journal News, ran a front page story reporting that imprisoned radical Susan Rosenberg — linked to the 1981 Weather Underground Brinks robbery that left two Nyack cops dead — was seeking clemency from Bill Clinton.

And Sen. Chuck Schumer, who campaigned for Clinton at many of her stops, was a strenuous opponent of any Slickster pardon.

There’s no way she could not have known.
