Jeebus bravs you are one desperate rightie. This urban legend goes back 40 years and Paul Fray isn't very credible either.
Paul Fray
Fray was the target of the alleged 1974 "(expletive) Jew bastard" comment. As an Associated Press story points out, Fray "can no longer practice law because someone paid him to alter a court document and he surrendered his law license to the Arkansas Supreme Court in 1980. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that led to seizures, addiction to prescription pain killers, erratic behavior and memory loss, according to court records. He wrote a letter to Clinton begging her forgiveness for saying things about her 'without factual foundation.'"
NewsMax says nothing about Fray's letter or his disbarment, but briefly mentions his memory problems, buried deep in a story and cited as evidence that "the White House and its media allies" was trying to "discredit" Fray.
Author David Brock says in the July 20 New York Times that he interviewed Fray and his wife in 1995 for his book, "The Seduction of Hillary Rodham," who said nothing then about the alleged slur. Two other authors of Clinton tomes, Gail Sheehy and David Maraniss, report the same thing, according to the New York Daily News. Additionally, Sheehy says that Neill McDonald, another witness to the alleged slur, "told me he didn't hear it," the Daily News reports.
Newsday columnist Marie Cocco points out that Brock recounts in his book why the argument started: Hillary and Fray's wife were protesting a plan by Fray to swing Bill Clinton's unsuccessful 1974 bid for Congress by bribing officials to rig absentee ballots. David Maraniss goes into further detail in his book, "First In His Class."
And the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette quotes Drew Ponder, another former campaign aide, as saying Fray "was dissension personified. ... He has no credibility with me."
The Media Research Center, meanwhile, is offended that Geraldo Rivera dared to question Fray's credibility at all. However, the MRC doesn't bother to print Fray's response to the question, instead referring to the diversionary tactic of comparing Fray to President Clinton.

What are you saying?
That another God fearing Rightie was so desperate he resorted to citing long ago discredited nonsense from one of the worst partisan hate sites on the net?
It's just so unlike him...NOT!
