A place of wonder and horror..
Meltdown altert
Published on September 25, 2006 By Emily In Democrat
In case you missed it, former president Bill Clinton had a melt down on Fox News Sunday after being asked why he didn't do more to go after Bin Laden. Amongst his various false claims, Clinton claimed that "neocons" were saying he was "obsessed" with getting Bin Laden and provided an anti-terrorist plan to the Bush administration.

So does Clinton, like so many liberals, hold the intelligence of the American people in such low regard that we wouldn't see the lie in his statement? Or was it just fresh meat for the zombie far left?

Dr. Guy agrees with a few of your positions, so what? I don't think all of the things you listed are not valid.

thank you for pointing out the difference between you and I...while I try to find common ground, you just keep spinning, attacking and hacking.

everyone has biases, there are times i lean left, times i lean right...and yes, i have disagreed with most of this administration's policies, but that hardly makes me "pro-democrat" except in some small mind's black & white world. i'm pro progress, whether the idea or policy comes from any side of the political spectrum. here's one for ya dog....i think the 1st 2 years of clinton's presidency wsasn't very successful...not because of anything in particlular, but because the dems had all the power then, and it didn't help the country. same thing when carter was in office. not that carter didn't do any good, but the severe swing of power in his favor hurt policy making, as it has with the bush admin. i believe in "balance of power" and if you really read my stuff, you would know that underlying theme. neither side has a lock on good ideas or bad ones, but the other side brings out the best ideas from both sides more often than not when both have a piece of the power pie.

Nobody is attacking you. If you can't take the heat of a political forum without whining about it, then get out.

but ya know what is really funny? when ABC and Disney were selling out to the administration and putting out their fake, made-up pack of lies presented falsely as a "docudrama" all the right wing bush loyalists claimed "everyone knows it's fiction and it's their right to use "artistic license" in telling their story." now, after the documentary, hacks like chris wallace are using the documentary and faux emails as an excuse to smuggly attack the former president as if they were facts....that's funny.

oh pUHLEEEEAaaase!!!!!!!!! get over yourself, i've been doing this a long time and pointing out your juvenile and parroted attack lines and methods is hardly whining. it's simply stating facts. facts that you keep dodging in each response as you begin your next lil bombing.

you are just another bully behind a keyboard...and now ya got someone who can kick your ass with facts and it's driving you nuts, i've dealt with your ilk for decades, not only online , but more often in person...quick island dog, scan all my posts and look for some lil tidbit you can nitpick as if it matters.

you know that's exactly what you'll do as soon as you end reading this sentence.

Wallace didn't attack him. He asked valid questions and Clinton went into a fake "outrage". I see it seems you have something against Fox News, because this small interview has nothing on the attacks other news agencies have done against Bush and his administration.

ABC and Disney did sell out....to the democrats. After the whining and crying of the Clinton people they took out scenes. Although the movie was "dramatic", most of the story was true that didn't failed at terrorism.

btw, dr guy and i found lots of common ground...does that make him a far left liberal?


I have been accused of worse.

lol,,,haven't we all, lol. once again, i very much enjoyed your feedback yesterday guy. when we (in a general human sense, not me and you in particular nec.) can find common ground, i believe it helps us understand one another. that might sound like some "wacko-hippie" idea, but from my experience, it's true.

that was something i thought both clinton and reagan were good at, not only as president, but in life. one example...i remember reading reagan's book of letters that came out a few years ago and being impressed with his role in protecting some unfairly targeted actors from the mccarthy commision. his "the only good commie is a dead commie" line got blown out of context and he was painted as assisting them when he was really keeping their claws from getting to some innocent actors behind the scenes. (figured i'd use a reagan example there so maybe the "left -wing" accusations might stop, at least for a moment).

What facts have you provided? It seems to me you are the one paranoid here. Whining and crying about being attacked when nobody has done that to you. Quick, go post some more about Keith, prove to us again you aren't a left wing hack.

No, pathetic is col jihad and avoiding the questions like you have been doing.

yeah, ok....somewhere a village is missing their idiot...better run along home puppy.

again, if you really read my stuff, you should know that the only encounter i have had with this col that you seem to have a hard-on for (is that too offensive for ya? tough) is when he made unfounded accusations and i called him on it. that happened in the last week i believe on here.

if you want to discuss the issue at hand, like did bill do anything? which i gave evidence that he did and that bush's team was putting the issue of terrorism on the back burner in favor of expensive and obsolete missile defense systems to fight russia and china with...i'll be more than happy to discuss it with you. btw, note that my quotes primarily come from conservative writers like frank gaffney and are from BEFORE september 11, 2001. go to townhall.com and you'll find a wealth of right wing journalists discussing the bush agenda when he came into office.

asking everyone to answer your ridiculous and sometimes non-germaine questions to the "inth" degree is pathetic esp. considering you have offered nothing to back up your point. i even proved your fact vs. opinion backpedal and called it out for what it was. i even predicted how you respond, not only here, but on other posts you have tried to attack me on.

you are fooling no one puppy. look at what i wrote, and how ineptly you responded each time. game over, you lose. please try again.

That was how he met his Second Wife, Nancy. But Clinton and Reagan are a good comparison in that respect. They both knew how to play an audience. Neither the Bushes, or Ford, Carter, LBJ, Nixon could. I think Kennedy could, but I was too young to remember.

They both knew how to play an audience.

they did, but the point i was making was more about their ability to work with both sides and get the things done that can get done,,,then use those things as possible springboards or opportunities to try to get things done that are not nec. agreed to in advance. even if everything doesn't get done, i believe both sides can benefit from understanding the other side better and that's when the "enemy" mentalities start to subside.

unfortunately, the lil pup never got that memo...or just wrote it off as some left wing conspiracy.

The 2 kind of go hand in hand. I remember the Gingrich snit. Clinton played him like a harp from hell! And Reagan? Tip O'neill never knew what hit him!

'So you simply believe left-wing bias that tells you that Fox news has a right-wing bias. Fox news does have a right-wing bias but no more than CNN has a left-wing bias. Talk about trying to deflect the issue.' draginol

i have not stated anywhere that other mainstream news organizations are without bias themselves, draginol. indeed, i indicate as much with my 'fox effect' reply to deference. as for deflecting the issue.. perhaps it is time that you yourself begin to walk it like you talk it. i have addressed the core issue at the heart of the wallis/path to 9/11 and indeed this thread - the degree of clinton's inaction over bin laden.

you however, as with emily, have chosen a straw argument by focusing on whether the neocons were obsessed with his going after bin laden. the fact that some republicans supported clintons efforts does not mean therefore that some also didn't. this is hardly a lie on clinton's part. subjective experience perhaps. ultimately it remains a debatable point. not one based in fact. moreover, in the context of the greater argument, it is of little consequence.

you talk a great deal about lying and have accused the left of 'lazy intellectualism' and yet so far you - and others - have failed to give any substantial weight to those claims in regard to the the core argument that has been put forward here. exactly which part of clinton's defense is a lie draginol?
