Bill Clinton Takes on the ‘Polarizing’ Issue (MEGA Barf Alert)
NYTimes ^ | January 25, 2008 | Katharine Q. Seelye

SPARTANBURG, S.C.– Bill Clinton just staged a passionate defense of his wife here, after a voter asked how Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton could unite this country when it is so split, politically and racially, and when she is such a polarizing figure. The question unleashed an attack against the Republicans and an unusual assertion that Mr. Clinton had somehow escaped those attacks (has he forgotten so quickly?); he said he understood the right-wing bullies because he grew up with them. And he said that when they “didn’t have me to kick around anymore,” they went after his wife. The question came from Dorothy Chapman at a town-hall meeting here (held at the Chapman Cultural Center; yes, same family). We caught up with Mrs. Chapman, 54, who is a painter, afterwards, and she told us she plans to vote for Senator Barack Obama. She told Mr. Clinton that because she lives in the reddest state in America, she had to defend the Clintons during their eight years in the White House. (“Thanks!” Mr. Clinton chimed in.) She said she didn’t want to say anything negative about Mrs. Clinton because “I’m crazy about her,” but her Republican friends “just go ballistic” over her. “How is she going to heal this red-state-blue-state, black-white thing that’s going on in this country?” she asked. “The last eight years have just been horrible.”

What does this make it? Something like the 2,847th time BJ has had to come to Hill’s defense? Imagine what it’ll be like if they win back the WH.

The swill and lies of a psychopathic liar, a convicted felon. It is high time that America got rid of this pair of criminals and charlatans in Washington. A massive power play and they could not care less about America -— only thier narcisisstic lust for power and a socialist America under their control....

America just cannot learn its lesson.

He quoted the friend as saying that everyone who knows her likes her, trusts her, respects her and would “walk through a fire with her,”...

Anybody else like to see Hades with Hillary?

Sounds like a title for a cruise ship weekend.

Semper Fi,

Does Bill not realize that he is becoming an issue in this campaign?

Or maybe he wants to be an issue, because he is self-aborbed and loves attention? Maybe he thinks his residual popularity will carry the day for Hillary.

Certainly Bill is a smart enough politician to know that somebody with Hillary’s high negatives will have a tough time winning a national election.

Bill needs to drop out of the race for his third term.

The arkansas duo are just like hamas and fatah.
They don’t believe republicans have a right to exist so they attack incessantly and when anyone calls them on it they cry that they have just been attacked. Their attacks are almost always projections of their own behavior. They then redouble their attack of projections on republicans and the press chimes in about how divisive the republicans are.
Then they have the nerve to say that they want to heal the nation of it’s divisiveness.

It’s crazymaking.

::::::
Yes, these and the other radically corrupt lying liberals always accuse the Repubs and conservatives of DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO. Right out of the socialist playbook. These two are evil and corruption personified. This country is dying from within — as evidenced by the fact these two are not in Federal prison for an untold list of crimes against humanity and America.

Why not ask why Hillary has such a poor memory and is easily fooled by men, including her own husband?

My sentiments exactly.

Their colossal egos don’t care what happens to anyone around them.

They are parasites that will destroy the host for a short meal of sociopathic extreme narcisistic attention.

They take the story of the emperors new clothes to a dangerous level.
