From Hillary Clinton:
Intolerant governments across the globe are "slowly crushing" activist and advocacy groups that play an essential role in the development of democracy, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday.
She cited a broad range of countries where "the walls are closing in" on civic organizations such as unions, religious groups, rights advocates and other nongovernmental organizations that press for social change and shine a light on governments' shortcomings.
Among those she named were Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Venezuela, China and Russia.
Let's not forget the United States. The targeting of ACORN, Planned Parenthood, and the ACLU has been unprecedented by the Republicans. And let's spread the blame around to the Democrats; your husband did sign the anti-union NAFTA and WTO agreements. So you shouldn't throw stones in a glass house Hillary.
