Bill on going negative: media bias made her do it

Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media's coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go negative on Barack Obama.

He also expressed his frustration that his wife is perceived by voters as divisive through, he said, no fault of her own.

Clinton, like his wife, is traveling New Hampshire taking questions from voters, and he spoke at the University of New Hampshire in Durham in response to a plea from a woman who said she'd like it "if you and Clinton joined Barack Obama in putting the Republicans on notice" that it was time to "change the game" and end the "meanness" and "manipulation" in politics.

Clinton replied that he liked the idea — in theory.

"I think we can change it as long as you have access to information by people who are committed to judging everybody by the same set of rules and following the same set of rules," he said. "According to the most recent media analysis, that’s not what’s happened so far, but yeah, I think it should be done."

Clinton also let his audience glimpse the scars of his White House years.

"Nobody would like it better than us if you could get that personal vilification out of there, because nobody’s been vilified more than we have," he said, after noting that he thought Hillary and McCain could run a respectful campaign. "One of the problems with laying down and turning the other cheek is McCain had one dose of it. They gave it to us for eight years.

That's hysterical.

The woman is a harpy, a harridan and a shrew of the first order.

Webster's Dictionary has her picture next to the word "Bitch".

I don't think Bill likes the position he's in....playing offense and defense at the same time for Hillary. He's a free spirit.

Bet he's ordered to "bedrest" very shortly.

and basically agree to put bullets in their brains," he said.

I guess I will (once again) practice psychiatry without a license.

Normal people don't talk about putting bullets in their own brains, even as a figure of speech, even to say they aren't going to do it.

If the Clintons lose this one (and it looks like they will) Bill is foreshadowing a Hitler/Eva Braun ending here.

IMO, Vilification goes where vilification is due to go.

Chickens seem to have come home to roost for the Clintons, and they will blame everything and everyone else except themselves.

They are classic narcissitic persons.

I cannot see them take each other out of politics soon enough.

People need to realize that every time they pay the BJ in Chief for a “speech” or a “book” or whatever, you keep enabling them to go forward and spew their anger at evryone who will not swallow the Koolaid...

The Peter Paul trial cannot come soon enough, either.

I spoke with Vince Foster this afternoon while in my usual trance-like state. Vince feels good about the Iowa loss!”

I will feel sorry for Vince Foster to my grave, and I obviously never knew him.

Add it to the stories of crapping on the SS, slandering the Military and ‘no one can look her in the eye’, ....”

Anyone taking bets as to how many very high up Military persons will turn in their resignations if the Wicked Witch EVER gets into ths Oval Office?

I still think Powell left before he intended to because he wouldn’t take orders from someone who “loathed the military”...

Oh, the poor Clintons! Media coverage can never be good enough for them, even if many befuddled “journalists” support them totally. The Clintons are a danger, because they don’t like freedom of the press if it’s going to cause problems for them.

“Not since Andrew Jackson has any President so throughly deserved vilification as does the Bent One.”

You had to go that far back? I stopped at Jimmah Cahter.

Right! Chelsea telling a 9-year-old that she couldn't talk to her was like two 9-year-olds talking. "I'm not s'posed t' talk to you anymore: Mama says I can't."

My school-teachin' sister has always felt that Chelsea's "just not right."

I forgot to add that Media Matters is just a Clinton/Clintonista fabrication, designed to cause problems for anyone who ain’t in the Clinton camp.
