WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following release was issued by the Democratic National Committee today:
In an interview with Fox News televised this morning, President Bill Clinton fought back against the right-wing misinformation and smear campaign and stood up for the truth. President Clinton set the facts straight on his administration's record fighting the war on terror. He also stood up against the Fox News' right-wing bullying and propaganda machine, pointing out the lack of tough questions being posed to the current administration. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement thanking President Clinton for standing up to right-wing propaganda and the need for all Democrats to stand up and tell the truth:
"President Clinton did exactly what Democrats need to do in this election. Democrats need to stand up to the right-wing propaganda machine and tell the truth. Washington Republicans' attempts to twist history and recast the truth do not help us win the war on terror or bring us closer to capturing Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. President Clinton stood up to the misleading tactics of the right-wing propaganda machine. As the National Intelligence Estimate that was reported on today showed, the Iraq War and the Bush Administration's failed policies have hurt our ability to win the war on terror. As President Clinton said, Democrats stand for policies that are both tough and smart and we remain committed to winning the war on terror."

MANY FReepers predicted that this would happen.
Hooray to many insightful FReepers!
For everything ...spin, spin, spin... there is a season, spin, spin, spin...
This is such BS.....does Head On have an ointment for the other end?
When you are talking about Clinton, "head on" takes on a new meaning.
Clearly Dean is the MASTER of public relations and maintaining dignity and composure at all times in public. LOL
Clinton made a fool of himself. Dean can rant and rave all he wants. Doesn't change my opinion of what I saw.
Delusional Dean Denying Facts as usual.
"right-wing propaganda machine"
LOL! Wallace asks a simple straight-forward question and Bill goes off the deep end.
When Bubba needs someone like Dean to attempt to cover for you, you know Clinton blew it big time.
Up is down. War is peace. Slavery is freedom. Bill Clinton told the truth.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
arrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh
Apparently Bill didn't get the memo.
Never complain, Never explain.
His vehement denial only solidifies his guilt
Yeah boy, that Chris Wallace sure is one crazy right wing loony....(sarcasm)
This is exactly what the Kos nutters & DUmmies were spewing yesterday. Seems Dean & Kos are linked. Good, cause they're both going down.
Oh, Brother. These fools are as predictable as the daily sunrise in the East. ;)
"Circle the wagons, Boys! The Clinton Legacy is at stake! YEEEEEEE-ARGGGGHHH!"
So far, no comments defending 'Her Man' from 'She Who Shall Not Be Named.' Wonder what's up with that? *SMIRK* Letting Slick twist in the wind a little as payback for all of the Bimbo Eruptions throughout the years, I'm thinking. What an interesting marriage those two have.
The Clinton kneepadders sound like a broken record!
The "Path to 9-11" relied heavily on Clarkes book. He actually WAS the hero of the movie.
Why didn't the Rapist like it, then?
you beat me to it....(sic)
Is it my imagination or is Bill Clinton getting uglier as he gets older.I can't see what people found to be so attractive in him.He was and is a phoney.
Me thinks clinton protesteth too much...
Bill Clinton looked terrified.
Ohhhhh Biiiilllyyy....remember this??? Your own words.
"Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan,"
"He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in 1991, then he went to Sudan. And we'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start meeting with them again.
"They released him,"
"At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.
"So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have," Clinton explained. "But they thought it was a hot potato and they didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."
Actually they do it is called hemorrhoid, but they do not say were to apply it.
Have you ever seen a manager argue with the ump? Does he ever get the call overturned? Never. He does it for one of two reasons: First, he does it to maybe get thrown out and rally his team. Second, he does it to wear down the ump so that the ump will go his way on the next call.
That is what Dean is doing here. He either wants to rally the troops (lamely) or he wants to try to make Chris Wallace (and others) think twice about tough questions of The Bent One.
We have to admit it. Dean has nice teeth. Bite my ass Dean.
And one more thought on this matter, and then I'll shaddup:
What happened to the 'We Are The President?' I mean, wasn't Mrs. Clinton basically steering the bus during those years? ROFLMAO! Her silence is deafening. ;)
You can't make this stuff up. I love it. :)
I soooo hope they do just that, Howard Dean. Especially since you have been 'right' about everything so far. /sarcasm
I'd bet money, Bill Clinton wrote the release
and ordered Dean to release as is.
Clinton must've had those Cocaine Blues.
Head on - apply it to forehead - Head on - apply it to forehead
What is this head on ... you speak of!
You had me rolling!
Chris Wallace is the envy of the press corps right now. Even though most of them love Clinton, he got the interview of the season and will no doubt get a raise.
Yep. Gotsta hand it to the ones that spotted it.
The Left has staked its future on a constituency of the insane and insanely gullible.
This stands to reason, since no reasonable person can acquiesce to the tactics, claims, and goals of the left.
So, by extrapolation, we have:
As Reason ----> - infinity, The Left ----> Radical Islam (As reason is abandonded {approaches negative infinite} the left approaches {becomes more like} Radical Islam).
a kapiche?
By running the other way and waving the white flag. Please, Howard, tell us YOUR PLAN!
I wonder if Murdoch will say anything about this; Slick brought up some kind of conspiracy that Wallace was asking this question because Murdoch was supporting his wife and his global initiative. Really weird portion of the interview and Murdoch should stand up for his station and his reporter, and I hope he does.
Oh indeed. Clinton stood up to the right wing media. It has been screaming in protest about Clinton's global initiative. Clinton showed 'em by gar.
Yes, indeed he did. But did he answer the blooming question?
These people are plainly deranged. Want to put them in charge of foreign policy? They're too busy lying to know what the heck is going on.
Clinton did two things this morning when the interview with Chris Wallace played...he voiced to the country what it would be like if Hillary were to win the White House, and he came along with her. Number two...Willie showed his A$$ to the entire world in his history rewrite and legacy rebuilding!! We all were there...
LOL! Asking BJ why he did not do more to go after OBL in the 1990's is a right wing smear question? He was President and Commander in Chief at the time!
When I first started reading this, I thought it was a mock parody of what Dean would say, so I rechecked the source. It wasn't from The Onion!
"Doth protest too much" is right on!
The Pillage People!
