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.

I would like to see a thread comparing Hitler, Stalin and Clinton's pre-pontus lives. I watched a History channel (I love the History Channel) documentary comparing similarities in Hitler and Stalin's lives before they grabbed power, and I thought, gee, that sounds like Clinton's life story.
I was never so happy that we have a strong constitution and 2 other Strong divisions in government.
Scott Rushmore’s letter pines for the priorities of “President Bill Clinton (who) was doing something.” Let’s review some of Clinton’s National Security victories:
Bombing a Sudanese aspirin factory, which sure gave Al Qaeda a headache,
Distracting attention from perjury by bombing Iraqi ministries in the middle of the night as part of his “Kill the Janitors!” campaign,
Sending out dozens of heavily suspendered prosecutors to teach Al Qaeda a lesson about bombing the World Trade Center, Army barracks, Navy ships, and American embassies,
Giving North Korea oil and nuclear power plants so they would not develop nuclear weapons,
And famously, in Afghanistan Clinton fired “a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.”
How decisive.
Clinton certainly was “doing something,” though it turned out to be an Intern, not dissuading Al Qaeda from 9/11 or liberating 50 million people from murderous tyrants.
President Bush’s priorities include the defense of Western Civilization and cutting taxes. I trust the presidential election will be referendum on those priorities.
Sincerely,
Brad Cloven
This was an excellent touch, but I would have really loved to see article say that the FR states that 'not only does it refuse to pull threads that compare the slickster to the dickster but in response to M@#v0#'s protest, the FR will launch a contest to see who can come up with the best comparison of Bill Clinton to Bill Clinton.'
Every time a joke bombs, the baby Jesus cries. He's crying a lot now, so cut it out.I shot cola through my nose laughing at that one. So cut that out. ;')
