He says, she did

Dick Morris isn't my favorite source of information--he goes to whatever political wing will pay his bills, but he was with the Clintons a lot of years, and these quotes are well documented. It won't hurt Hillary a bit with liberals, they are just street creds, but for independents or moderates, it might make a difference. These are the statements in Bill's ad for Hillary, and Dick Morris' response.

Bill says: "In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the poor."

The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law school was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.

Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children's rights project for poor kids."

The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.
