Only the blind or crooked would insist there’s no connection.

Only the dishonest on a libelous smear campaign would. As has been told you, if Clinton used the word "Windows" when speaking about the actual glass things you would see no connection, if he used the word "Apple" when speaking about the fruit you would see no connection. Yet he used the African word "Ubuntu" when speaking about humanity towards others in an attempt to pander to a crowd, and you see a connection.

Only in going with your usual dishonest removal of context, and efforts to create libelous strained connections in the way of the MSM, then you are right, there is a connection between Clinton and Ubuntu Linux.

I await you taking that last bit out of context, creating yet another lie.

For people like me
wondering what the hell's this,
I looked up the quote:

"Ubuntu. That was what Bill Clinton told the Labour party conference it needed to remember this week. "Society is important because of Ubuntu."

But what is it? Left-leaning sudoku? U2's latest album? Fish-friendly sushi?

No, it's a word describing an African worldview, which translates as "I am because you are," and which means that individuals need other people to be fulfilled.

The former president, husky-voiced and down-home with the delegates, gave it a folksy flavour, describing it in terms of needing to be around others to enjoy being ourselves. "If we were the most beautiful, the most intelligent, the most wealthy, the most powerful person - and then found all of a sudden that we were alone on the planet, it wouldn't amount to a hill of beans," said Mr Clinton.

The word comes from the Bantu languages spoken in southern Africa - and is related to a Zulu concept - "umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" - which means that a person is only a person through their relationship to others. ..."

All you need is ubuntu

if Clinton used the word "Windows" when speaking about the actual glass things you would see no connection, if he used the word "Apple" when speaking about the fruit you would see no connection.

Obviously "apple" and "windows" are common terms, and despite your attempts to equate them "ubuntu" is not a common term. The fact that Clinton used it while in the UK, where the primary source of funding for Ubuntu Linux resides, is also of note. I actually first heard of his comments from an IT publication that reported them as well. Your insistence this strange and unique word used by Clinton in the UK, and reported by IT journalists there has absolutely no chance of anything to do with Linux is hilarious.
