Did you all just hear that guy on Fox saying that Trent Lott was one of the ones saying that Clinton was obsessed with Osama bin Laden -- and that Lott said bin Laden wasn't important.

I"m pretty sure we can nail that one down as yet another lie.

His comments were a total lie. Both Lott and Gingrich supported Clinton's efforts and neither said bin Laden was not important.

The Republican was unprepared to debate that particular issue, and it showed. Earlier in the thread today there are quotes and comments supporting what I'm saying but I'm not sure where they are exactly.

The timing of the Clinton bombings were questioned but never the need or authority he had to retaliate.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a long time Mississippi Democrat politician who turned Republican only to save his own skin.

Trent is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, nor the most loyal or reliable.  If the Clintonista's are specifically mentioning Trent Lott as having said Clinton was obsessed with Osama I would bet that they have the sound bite and date.

We need to find our own examples, not count on arguing about theirs.  Clinton made a sweeping statement about "all the right wingers" and several other similar broad brush attacks.  We simply need to point to prominent examples where he is wrong, not try to discredit his anecdotes that he puts up to prove he's right.
