MoveOn.org Demands Free Republic Remove Thread Comparing Clinton to Clinton

FRESNO – Conservative activism community Free Republic is reportedly under fire for posting several “vanity” threads which compare former President William Jefferson Clinton to the tyrant/socialist/adulterer President William Jefferson Clinton. This, in response to conservative critics who have taken issue with a Moveon.org political commercial contest which showcased a spot comparing President George W. Bush with Chancellor Adolf Hitler of the Third Reich.

“Free Republic has finally gone over the line,” said MoveOn spokeswoman Gloria Harper. “The despicable notion of comparing a leader to his actual record is beyond reprehensible – it’s nauseating, alarming, and quite frankly, dirty pool.”

Free Republic, which has long been a critic of former President Clinton, is unarguably biased towards truth, according to media analysts, and threatens to upset the environment of thuggery, immaturity, and third-rate comedian pundits carefully sculpted by the Democratic grass roots movement.

One thread, titled “Clinton Was Not a Good President” unabashedly accused the formerPresident of having served two terms and being impeached by the United States Congress while the Taliban trained al Qaeda to plow planes into skyscrapers.

Another thread, titled “Bill Clinton’s Record”, accuses the President of selling overnight stays in the Lincoln bedroom and allowing nuclear research security to become so lax, Chinese spys were able to waltz into Los Alamos and accelerate their nuclear program roughly forty years with one theft.

“We’re not going to live in the past,” said one MoveOn supporter who asked only to be identified as “Madonna”. “The Chinese are in the middle of an energy crisis. How will they find the fuel to support their manufacturing industry and the complete and utter destruction of Taiwan? Why should we keep such secrets?”

“The fact is,” explained Harper, “there is no reason for us not to believe that President wouldn’t incinerate 12 million Jews if given the opportunity. Furthermore, he is clearly in favor of bringing capitalism to countries which are perfectly happy drinking cholera-infested water and succumbing to the bird flu in large numbers. The comparison is fair.”

Free Republic had no comment except to re-iterate it’s position not to remove threads which compare William Jefferson Clinton to William Jefferson Clinton.

Yes! Every time I hear a Russian complaining about how many people they lost in WWII, I want to say:

Might you have a little responsibility for the death toll here?

Clinton was impeached? I need to come out from under my rock more often.

Here is a quick overview, while you were "away".

First, the Big Bang

Then the Earth cooled

The Dinasoars died

A real big flood and a guy named Noah

Ceasar, Mark Anthony and the rest of those guys.

Columbus

Yorktown

Hiroshima

a bimbo named Monica

El-Producto Mucho Gusto

Saddam

Adios Saddam

More to come.

MoveOn.org is just upset because they were rightfully dumped on by outraged Jewish Americans for their reckless Bush-Is-Hitler ads; even Liberals like Abe Foxman were upset with them.

...As for FreeRepublic threads on Clinton, I've never seen anyone put a swastika and moustache on any of his pictures, or accuse him of committing a holocaust.

MoveOn.org, just get over it. You guys are just a bunch of losers.

-Regards, T.

TO the fool who mouthed this outrage: The USA fought the North Vietnamese and the North Koreans who were both supported by the Red Chinese. Oh, and let us not forget the love affair that Red Chinese have with freedom loving liberals-just look at Tianamen Square. And you want to level the playing field? You are a traitor for tyrants.

Reading comprehension is important to understand satire.
