"You're welcome."

Democrats are livid over Karl Rove's complaint that liberals reacted to the 9/11 attacks by urging "understanding" for terrorists.
But that was exactly the advice offered by ex-President Clinton, delivered in an address to Georgetown University less than two months after the attacks.
"First of all, terror, the killing of noncombatants for economic, political, or religious reasons has a very long history - as long as organized combat itself," Clinton lectured. "Those of us who come from various European lineages are not blameless."
Then the ex-president catalogued the terrorist abuses perpetrated by Europeans and Americans on Jews, Muslims and people of color.
"Indeed, in the first Crusade, when the Christian soldiers took Jerusalem, they first burned a synagogue with 300 Jews in it, and proceeded to kill every woman and child who was Muslim on the Temple mound," he noted.
"Here in the United States, we were founded as a nation that practiced slavery and slaves were, quite frequently, killed even though they were innocent."
The U.S. "looked the other way," Clinton charged, "when significant numbers of Native Americans were dispossessed and killed to get their land or their mineral rights or because they were thought of as less than fully human and we are still paying the price today."
By the time Mr. Clinton was done with his terrorism history lesson, it was clear America got what it deserved on 9/11.
What country was that guy president of?
I know -- they're demanding an apology for my saying that.
I'm sorry it had to be said.
These liberals are so predictable.
Righteous indignation every time their hands are caught in the cookie jar. Maybe those chronic bruises around their wrists might be an indication of something.
Flash Back Ping
About the only people they seem to be fooling all the time, are the liberal mainstream media writers.
Thanks for the ping!
I have to hand it to Karl Rove, he took what looked to be a very dull day and made it quite entertaining! The fact that the man is a genius and 100% correct doesn't hurt either! Thank You Mr. Rove!
Clinton or Carter which will be the worst President of the 20th century?
But then, most of these liberal mainstream media writers thought John Kerry was the most brilliant mind they've ever encountered.
McClellan's refusal to budge on the demands of an apology in todays Press briefing was priceless. Scott even appeared to be grinning more than usual
Pinging MurryMom...LOL!
...if tossing one's cookies can be considered a "flash back."
Good catch by NewMax. (They probably read it earlier on FR today.) Question to the MSM and the LIBERALS in the Democrat Party: How are Rove's words any more offensive than Clinton's?
"You're welcome."
"All the big-buck donors are out there tonight. Do the scream Howard, that's what people pay to see. No need for any speeches. Just do the scream. Those people aren't interested in anything else. Just do the scream -- and we collect the money and go home.
The mainstream media guys will think up something to write about. Just do the scream."
ROFLOL!
Great article and disgusting comments by Clinton. When will they stop their arguments of moral equivalence and constant efforts to make us all feel quilty?
Without guilt, liberals have nothing going for them.
Manipulation is their game -- their entire game.
Thanks for the ping! :-)
And for eight years, incident after incident, Bill Clinton looked the other way when it came to the threat of Islamofascism. He disregarded his duty to national security.
BTW .. wasn't someone in his administration that was ripping off money from the Native Americans ... trust fund?
I don't think he did.
