Hugh Hefner gives $2,300 to Clinton’s ’08 campaign
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) is seeking to become the first woman president, and a man who has published countless pictures of naked women is pitching in for her White House bid.
Hugh Hefner, the founder of the Playboy Enterprises empire, is among the many celebrities who have picked their favorite candidate to succeed President Bush in 2009.
Hefner contributed $2,300 (the maximum allowed in the primary) to Clinton’s campaign on March 28, identifying his occupation on the fundraiser form as “editor-in-chief” of Playboy magazine.
Hefner has given thousands to Democrats over the years, including $2,000 to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in 2004 and $1,000 each to Al Gore and then-President Clinton in the 1990’s. Hefner’s favorite on Capitol Hill is Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.); he has given her $13,200 since 1996, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Sanchez attracted controversy by planning to hold a fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion during the 2000 Democratic National Convention in California.

Hillary Clinton Supported by Big Abortion, Gay Activists and Now the Porn Industry
Clinton spoke warmly of “agenda she is “pursuing” with gay activists of Human Rights Campaign
By Peter J. Smith
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 19, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Democratic Presidential contender Hillary Clinton has managed to gain endorsements from the abortion lobby, homosexual activists, and now porn-magnate Hugh Hefner.
Hefner, founder of the Playboy Enterprises pornography empire, donated $2,300 (the maximum allowed in the primary) to Clinton’s campaign, identifying his occupation on the fundraiser form as “editor-in-chief” of Playboy magazine.
The Clintons’ embrace of the pornography endorsement comes as no surprise, since during her husband’s administration, Christian family ideals were often impugned, and pornography was made available to staffers. In 1999, a consultant hired to shore up security for the White House's computer network discovered staffers had downloaded massive pornographic video files during the height of the impeachment crisis.
With the porn industry behind her, former First Lady and junior New York Senator Hillary Clinton has cornered endorsements from the three most powerful anti-family movements geared to further dramatically American culture.
