Clinton Tries to Shore Up Support for Obama Among Liberal Democrats
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 08-13-09 | Jake Sherman

Jake Sherman reports from Pittsburgh on the Netroots convention.

It wasn’t as raucous of a reception as some Democrats are getting these days. But one man wanted to make sure former president Bill Clinton heard his gripe.

During the opening ceremony for the Netroots Nation convention, a gentleman in the middle of a large convention hall room stood up and scolded Clinton for his don’t ask, don’t tell policy. Clinton clarified his stance, but not without a subtle jab at conservative Republicans staging opposition at health care town halls across the country.

“You ought to go to one of those congressional health care meetings,” Clinton said with a smirk.

between the Netroots and G-20, we are having a long, awful summer of Liberal Whacko-ism here in Pittsburgh.

I was glad to see the heckling of Clinton. Liberals/Democrats seem to get a pass on the gay issues. It was Clinton who allowed for don’t ask don’t tell, after his abortive attempt to allow gays in the military, no questions asked.

And it’s a fact that he signed the Defense of Marriage Act. He claims he did it to forestall efforts to have a federal marriage amendment. Some radical homosexuals talk of the DOMA law as something akin to the Dred Scott decision regarding slaves being property and having no human rights. Well, a good Democrat president signed that law.

I’m just waiting for the homosexual lobby to rise up against Obama.
