Hillary Aide: Bush Should Come Clean on AWOL Charges
Newsmax ^ | 2/5/04

Posted on 02/05/2004 5:26:03 PM PST by areafiftyone

An adviser to New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is daring President Bush to prove he didn't go AWOL from the National Guard in 1972 by releasing his military records.

Asked if he thought Bush needed to produce his Guard records, Howard Wolfson told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" Wednesday night: "Absolutely. He could solve this very easily by coming clean with the American people and letting them know what he did and didn't do."

Wolfson, who was Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign spokesman in 2000 and currently serves as her adviser, attacked Bush's military record despite Bill Clinton's own problems during the Vietnam era with the draft.

However, Mrs. Clinton's one-time spokesman was unfazed by the incongruity of his attack.

"The truth is," he insisted, "the Republicans brought this on themselves. ... They had George Bush go out to an aircraft carrier on a stunt. He dressed up in a flight suit. He tried to tell everyone that he was a pilot."

"The fact is that he didn't serve for much of the time," Wolfson insisted.

Wolfson urged Bush to produce his military records despite the fact that his political team already did so during the 2000 campaign.

At the time the New York Times reported, "Guard records show [Bush} received credit for having performed all the required service."

Mrs. Clinton's adviser insisted, however, that "for 18 months [Bush's] commander at the base says that he didn't see him."

Wolfson was apparently unaware that earlier in the day, the commander in question, Brig. Gen. William Turnipseed, had recanted his allegation, telling NBC News: "I don't know if [Bush] showed up, I don't know if he didn't. I don't remember how often I was even at the base."

I dare missus clinton and her husband to prove they didn't participate
in the 1978 rape of Juanita Broaddrick in Arkansas…
and the 1969 rape of Eileen Wellstone at Oxford.

The clintons should produce bill clinton's Oxford records explaining
his sudden, (seemingly AWOL) post-Wellstone-rape departure;
the clintons should release the Ford building evidence detailing
their rape of Broaddrick; their reflexive abuse of women.

The clintons could solve this very easily by coming clean with the American people
and letting them know what they did and didn't do.

The truth is, the Democrats brought this on themselves….
They had the clintons dress up as feminists.
The plain fact is: the clintons don't serve women--they rape them.

 

 

The Real Danger of a Fake President:
Post-9/11 Reconsideration of The Placebo President

by Mia T, 1.06.02  
 
 
In May, 1996, American diplomats were informed in a Sudanese government fax that Bin Laden was about to be expelled -- giving Washington another chance to seize him. The decision not to do so went to the very top of the White House, according to former administration sources.

They say that the clear focus of American policy was to discourage the state sponsorship of terrorism. So persuading Khartoum to expel Bin Laden was in itself counted as a clear victory. The administration was "delighted".

Bin Laden took off from Khartoum on May 18 in a chartered C-130 plane with 150 of his followers, including his wives. He was bound for Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. On the way the plane refuelled in the Gulf state of Qatar, which has friendly relations with Washington, but he was allowed to proceed unhindered.

Barely a month later, on June 25, a 5,000lb truck bomb ripped apart the front of Khobar Towers, a US military housing complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The explosion killed 19 American servicemen. Bin Laden was immediately suspected...

US missed three chances to seize Bin Laden

Just look around this chamber. We have members from virtually every racial, ethnic, and religious background. And America is stronger for it. But as we have seen, these differences all too often spark hatred and division, even here at home. . . This is not the American way. We must draw the line. Without delay, we must pass the Hate Crimes Prevention Act and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. And we should reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

bill clinton, State of Union Speech, January 27, 2000

 
"I'm sorry, but the president is one of the crudest men I have ever encountered in government service," says one female agent. "He has no respect for women."

Among the comments clinton made in presence of Secret Service agents:

  • Frequent speculation on the oral sex skills of women the president saw or met in receiving lines;
  • References to the size of a woman's breasts, legs or figure;
  • Sexual jokes.
After the Monica Lewinsky story broke, however, clinton toned down his rhetoric and behavior in front of his Secret Service agents, but those who guarded the president say enough of them saw and heard things which could be damaging to clinton.
 
"It depends on who Ken Starr calls," says one ex-agent. "The people who are on the job today are not necessarily the ones who know the most."

Turnover In clinton's Secret Service Detail 'Highest That Anyone Can Remember'

 
In the months that follow, reporters drop the issue. Feminists say little or nothing. Rape crisis center workers acknowledge that Broaddrick's case, including her reluctance to come forward, is typical of victims of sexual assault. But they decline to speak against clinton. Some cite the federal funding they receive as a result of the Violence Against Women Act, which was signed into law by clinton.

Why does the press continue to ignore the Juanita Broaddrick story?

Richard Gere stunned fellow liberals Monday by suggesting that President Bush is doing a better job of fighting AIDS than President Bill Clinton did.

Introduced by Sharon Stone at a fund-raiser at Cipriani 42nd Street for the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the "Chicago" star hailed Bush for his State of the Union proposal to contribute $15 billion toward the AIDS battle in Africa and the Caribbean. Gere then addressed the track record of Bush's predecessor in the White House.

"I'm sorry, Sen. [Hillary] Clinton, but your husband did nothing about AIDS for eight years," Gere said.

GERE TAKES ON BILL, NY Daily News | 2/5/03

 
 
 
The Placebo President:
How a Rapist can be a Policy Feminist
 placebo effect n.
A beneficial effect in a patient following a particular treatment that arises from the patient's expectations concerning the treatment rather than from the treatment itself.
 
Every woman adores a Fascist,
The boot in the face, the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you.
Sylvia Plath
 

The placebo effect immediately came to mind as I listened to Shelby Steele, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution,debunk the following pernicious spin intended to save clinton.

To wit: A proven felon and utter reprobate can remain president; clinton can be a failed human being but a good president.

The error in these statements arises, says Steele, from the belief that virtuousness is separate from personal responsibility so that one's virtuousness as an individual is determined by one's political positions on issues rather than on whether or not in one's personal life there is a consistency and a responsibility.

Steele's contention is that this compartmentalization, rather than being the amazing advantage the clintons would have us believe, in fact, spills toxicity into, corrupts, the culture.

If mere identification with good policies is what makes one virtuous then those policies become, what Steele calls, iconographic, that is to say they just represent virtuousness. They don't necessarily do virtuous things.

If clinton's semantic parsing strips meaning from our words, clinton's iconographic policies strip meaning from our society, systematically deconstructing our society as a democracy. . .

I would take Shelby Steele's thesis one step further. I maintain that iconographic policy functions like a placebo, producing a real, physiological and social effects.

The placebo effect is, after all, the brain's triumph over reality. Expectation alone can produce powerful physiological results. The placebo effect was, at one time, an evolutionary advantage: act now, think later

bill clinton is the paradigmatic Placebo President. Placebo is Latin for "I shall please." And please he does doling out sham treatments, iconographs, with abandon. To please, to placate, to numb, to deflect. Ultimately to showcase his imagined virtue. Or to confute his genuine vice.

clinton will dispense sugar pills (or bombs) at the drop of a high-heeled shoe... or at the hint of high treason...

clinton's charlatanry mimics that of primitive medicine. Through the 1940s, doctors had little effective medicine to offer so they deliberately attempted to induce the placebo response.

The efficaciousness of today's medicines does not diminish the power of the placebo. A recent review of placebo-controlled studies found that placebos and genuine treatments are often equally effective. If you expect to get better, you will.

Which brings me back to the original question: Can clinton be a failed human being but a good president?

Clearly he cannot. These two propositions are mutually exclusive. clinton's fundamental failure is a complete lack of integrity. He has violated his covenant with the American people.

Because clinton has destroyed his moral authority as a leader, he can no longer function even as a quack; the placebo effect is gone.

And so the Placebo President must now go, too.

 

 

 

Epilogue

September 11 changed a lot of things for me, Bill [O'Reilly]. I will say this, before September 11, I was definitely mildly myopic in terms of my political agenda. If you were Democrat you were probably right, and if you were a Republican you were probably wrong. Everything changed for me that day...

My entire worldview changed. If you would have told me September 9 that I would have been at the world series game filming George Bush throwing out the first pitch with my 6-year-old son crying, I never would have believed you, but I was. Because my whole worldview changed.

ROSIE O'DONNELL

In a novel twist of logic and reality during the First Rapist's impeachment trial, the co-rapist portrayed the endless string of clinton rapes as significant clinton public policy, euphemistically dubbing chronic clinton predation "ministering to troubled young girls."

Mia T, First Rapist's Rose-Garden Escape: The Full Story

 

 
There is reason to believe that he is a rapist ("You better get some ice on that," Juanita Broaddrick says he told her concerning her bit lip), and that he bombed a country to distract attention from legal difficulties arising from his glandular life, and that. ... Furthermore, the bargain that he and his wife call a marriage refutes the axiom that opposites attract. Rather, she, as much as he, perhaps even more so, incarnates Clintonism

When Alex kills a woman during a rape, Alex is sent to prison.
When clinton rapes women, girls, his country and God knows what else. . .
and kills? --- check out those fourscore-plus deaths, please!
And don't forget the wag-the-dog, desperately-seeking-a-legacy bombings,
or the cold-blooded Ricky Ray Rector execution---
not clinton but society is imprisoned,
imprisoned in clinton's
besmirched, semen-stained, feckless presidency.

A risible and repulsive result;
yet not even the punch line.

While Alex is conditioned in prison with aversion therapy,
transmuted into a moral robot who becomes nauseated
by the mere thought of sex and violence,
bill clinton and his Thought Police,
in a perverse reverse aversion,
have conditioned society's collective brain
into not mere acquiescence but twisted admiration.

In the end,
if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,
it seems the joke will be on all of us,
for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,
for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.

We will have set apart clinton as the hero
by making his victims less human than he;
we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims
so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings
as much as clinton himself does.

If he missed a weekend ... he just served it at another time.

You know, Ohio, if any of these Dims actually served their country in the military, maybe they wouldn't be such screaming idiots about this whole thing.

Do they honestly think GWB could get an honorary discharge if he was AWOL? Maybe they think Poppy got it for him? I'm just sick of this whole thing and these lying liars.

Does any other freeper remember when Hillary claimed she tried to enlist in the Marines in the 1970s, but was turned down because she was a woman? It was the most ridiculous story, and she never got called on it. Come clean, Hillary, show us the records that you really tried to enlist!

'GI Bill' Following 'Marine' Hillary's Example

Ex-president Bill Clinton's bombshell announcement before a Canadian Jewish group earlier this week that he was prepared to "grab a rifle and get in the trench and fight and die" for Israel isn't the first time a Clinton has offered to don combat fatigues.

Twenty-seven years before Clinton pledged to go to war, his wife, Hillary, tried to join the Marines, a move prompted by the former first couple's "love" of the military, the duo claimed in 1994.

SNIP


it was probably 19 years ago - 1975," Hillary told a network TV interviewer in June 1994, according to a transcript of her comments as they were rebroadcast on the old Rush Limbaugh TV show.

"I decided that I was very interested in having some experience in serving in some capacity in the military," she explained.

Her husband then interjected helpfully, "Because we all love the military so much."

Mrs. Clinton proceeded to detail the story of the day she tried to enlist:

"So I walked into our local recruiting office, and I think it was just my bad luck that the person who happened to be there on duty could not have been older than 21, was in perfect physical shape.

"So I sat down and I said, you know, I wanted to explore. I didn't know whether I thought active duty would be a good idea, reserve - you know, maybe National Guard, something along those lines.

"I was already a lawyer. I thought there were some roles I could perform, and I was going on and on, you know, trying to justify my existence. And this young man looked at me and he said, 'How old are you?'

"I said, Well, 27."

Hillary then described his reaction:

"He looked at me, and in those days that was before I learned how to wear contact lenses. I had these really thick glasses on.

"He said, 'How bad's your eyesight?' I said, 'It's pretty bad'. ... And he said, 'How bad?' So I told him. He said, 'That's pretty bad.'

"And he finally said to me - he said, 'You're too old. You can't see. And you're a woman.' And then he went on - and since this is the birthday of the Army, I will tell you what the rest that he said was - this man - young man was a Marine. He said, 'But maybe the dogs would take you.'"

The former first lady says she then thought, "This is not a very encouraging conversation, so maybe I'll look for another way to serve my country."




SHE IS A LIAR!!!(as if you didn't already know that).

And one other thing:

"I decided that I was very interested in having some experience in serving in some capacity in the military," she explained. Her husband then interjected helpfully, "Because we all love the military so much."

Didn't he mean "loathe" instead of "love"?

"no evidence"

That's the whole point. The dems are basing their charge on Turnipseed's comment (not any evidence), that he didn't see Bush at the base in Alabama. However, in other accounts I've read, even while Bush was helping out in a campaign, people associated with the campaign said Bush would be gone on weekends, to do his flying. Which .. as far as I'm concerned .. destroys Turnipseed's statement.

And .. the other problem is the other 2 officers who could attest to Bush being there are both dead. Then there's the problem of no paper trail. There was a fire .. supposedly Bush's records could have been lost at that time, or maybe because the paper record keeping at that time was just plain sloppy, and the paperwork slipped through the cracks.

The dems don't have PROOF. All they have is an elderly man who cannot remember seeing Bush at the base. And .. apparently, the man has now taken back his statement.

To me this speaks of such desperation, they will make up any lie to regain their power. How power hungry can you get? I still think Hillary wants to run this year, and she knows she won't stand a chance unless she can totally destroy Bush.

HILLARY WILL NOT SUCCEED IN DESTROYING BUSH .. AND SHE WILL NOT SUCCEED IN GETTING BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.

"never served in our military in our country"

THIS IS SUCH AN INSULT TO THE NATIONAL GUARD. Kerry and Terry have also said that they equate National Guard service with going to Canada to avoid service, and being AWOL. And Kerry wants to be CIC .. I don't think so.

We currently have 45,000 National Guard on duty in Iraq.

A couple of years ago there was a major scandal in Massachusetts when it was revealed that the teachers and their union thought it would be a good idea to bring homosexuals into the schools to teach school kids about "fisting" and other perverted homosexual practices.

FISTGATE

What was John Kerry's role in the decision to teach young kids about "fisting" in the Massachusetts schools? Did he support these "fistgate" conferences which were presented by the militant homosexuals and their sponsors in the teachers union? Has Kerry taken any campaign funds from these groups?

JOHN KERRY NEEDS TO "COME CLEAN" on these matters, and he needs to explain his role in this disgusting scandal. Does Kerry support the teaching of homosexual "fisting" and other practices to public school children? WHAT IS Kerry's stand on "fisting"???

Kerry needs to "come clean" NOW!!

From Clinton's December 1969 letter to his ROTC Director, linked in my post 86:

Because of my opposition to the draft and the war, I am in great sympathy with those who are not willing to fight, kill, and maybe die for their country (i.e. the particular policy of a particular government) right or wrong. Two of my friends at Oxford are conscientious objectors. I wrote a letter of recommendation for one of them to his Mississippi draft board, a letter which I am more proud of than anything else I wrote at Oxford last year. One of my roommates is a draft resister who is possibly under indictment and may never be able to go home again. He is one of the bravest, best men I know. That he is considered a criminal is an obscenity.

The decision not to be a resister and the related subsequent decisions were the most difficult of my life. I decided to accept the draft in spite of my beliefs for one reason: to maintain my political viability within the system.
