He's a radical!
No, this isn't Anatevka in 1905...

The pro-Hillary website www.hillary.org and the anti-Hillary website stophillarypac.com are engaging in a little war over whether or not the anti-Hillaries were executing a denial of service attack on the pro-Hillaries.

Da da da. (Uh huh.)

Meanwhile, the anti-Hillaries are trying to portray her as un-American because of what she did while she was at Yale Law School:

Countered LeBoutillier: "I think that people ought to know the truth about Clinton. ... She is the most committed left-wing politician out there. I want people to know she represented Black Panthers and communists," he told the Sun, referring to groups Mrs. Clinton supported in law school.

Why, that makes Hillary as un-American as...well, as President John Adams (definitely NOT a Democrat or a wide-eyed liberal), the lawyer who represented the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre:

This...focuses on the tragedy as well as on the search for truth during the trial of the British soldiers accused of murdering five citizens of Boston in 1770. The soldiers' hope for a fair trial and defense rested in the hands of John Adams, one of the outstanding patriot leaders of the day. Taking the case, Adams eventually was able to prove that the soldiers fired in self-defense. His efforts resulted in the acquittal of all but two of the soldiers, who received a branding on their thumbs in punishment. Although a triumph for justice, the verdict and trial proved to be costly for Adams, as his loyalty to the patriots was questioned and his family harassed.

This is what he said. This is what John Adams said:

The Part I took in Defence of Cptn. Preston and the Soldiers, procured me Anxiety, and Obloquy enough. It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested Actions of my whole Life, and one of the best Pieces of Service I ever rendered my Country. Judgment of Death against those Soldiers would have been as foul a Stain upon this Country as the Executions of the Quakers or Witches, anciently. As the Evidence was, the Verdict of the Jury was exactly right.

So, it ain't Anatevka in 1905. It's Boston in 1770, people.
