HSDFI News Releases:

‘The Hunting of the President’ Documentary film will make premiere at Spa film fest

BY JOHN LOVETT
THE SENTINEL RECORD (June 17,2003)

How far did the right-wing go to bring down the Clintons?

Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival-goers will get the chance to make up their own mind Friday, Oct. 24, when a film on the subject makes its U.S. premiere with filmmaker Harry Thomason.

The documentary, based on Gene Lyons’ and Joe Conason’s book “The Hunting of the President: The Ten Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton,” will first premiere at the Toronto Documentary Film Festival in September.

“It disrupts myths and explains how people opposed to the Cintons were connected,” Thomason said of the film Monday from Mozark Productions in Los Angeles. “It’s definitely a fact-based film. Nobody can sue us for what’s said.”

In a May 2000 review of “Hunting the President” J. Kingston Pierce wrote in January Magazine that “few of his 40 predecessors attracted hateful right-wing extremists and nutball consipiracy-mongers as prodigiously as Bill Clinton has done. . . As ‘The Hunting of the President’ recounts ever-more outrageous indictments against Bill and Hillary Clinton, only to shoot each down in a barrage of well-documented and often previously ignored exculpatory evidence, it’s frightening to realize how easily cabal’ of well-financed Clinton haters (‘an angry gallery of defeated politicians, disappointed office seekers, right-wing pamphleteers, wealthy eccentrics, zany private detectives, religious fanatics, and die-hard segregationists’).”

Thomas, a confident of former President Bill Clinton and co-producer of the TV shows “Designing Women” and “Evening Shade,” is expected to make the premiere with wife Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, Hot Springs Documentary Film Institute Executive Director Melanie Masino said recently.

Whew talk about a blast from the past. Conason/Lyons/Thomason going through their old paranoid right wing cabal theories.

I wonder if Conason still wears that perpetual sneer on his face.

ROTFL. The indoctrination continues.

How did I know that the Clinton movie treatment would be supportive, when Reagan's is hugely negative? I dunno... I must just be psychic.

This thread could use the photo of Linda Bloodworth-Thomas jumping on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House with Marky Post.

It should be the poster for the film. Call it "Spoiled Rotten - The Clinton Crowd's Inexcusable Defense Of X42"

This photo of Thomason & Markie Post frolicking in the Lincoln Bedroom still makes me sick.

The film's producer, Harry Thomason, is an Arkansas native.

But not just an Arkansas native, is he? They left out the FOB part. Such a good FOB that Thomason got Toon to call Les Moonves (ring a bell?) to get CBS to pony up more money for Thomason. Gee, the article didn't mention that, either. Go figure.

Hunting The President starring the Senate as Elmer Fudd.

"I'll get you, you wascally President", the Senate declares. The poor Senate, Clinton French kissed them, sending them away blushing.

From their web site description of cast of characters:

Vince Foster:
Bill and Hillary were good friends with Foster, who was a partner at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock. Early in 1993, the first of what would be many Clinton administration scandals broke loose — the so-called Travelgate scandal. Travelgate can be summed up thusly: A bunch of travel staffers were fired by the White House on the pretext of wrongdoing, allegedly at the urging of Clinton friend Harry Thomason. The media jumped all over Travelgate, particularly the Wall Street Journal, which ran a scathing editorial about the specific evils of Vince Foster, who had been appointed by Hillary Clinton to "take care of" the alleged shenanigans of the Travel Office workers. As deputy White House counsel, he had supervised the investigation of the employees and met with the FBI, which had also investigated the workers at the behest of the White House (the FBI found no wrongdoing).

An investigation of the Travel office investigation ensued, and Foster began obsessively taking notes on the affair, in which his concern about protecting Hillary was clear, but any actual wrongdoing in the incident was not. After the Wall Street Journal articles, Foster appeared to go into a deep depression, and on July 20, 1993, Vincent Foster committed suicide by shooting himself through the back of the head.

Foster had been involved in various Clinton legal matters, including Whitewater. The questions began almost immediately, and were deepened when the White House tried to restrict access to Foster's files as the investigation into his death began.

Apparently the Wall Street Journal is responsible for Vince Fosters death.
