Former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday waded into the debate about Americas political rhetoric in the wake of last weekends shootings in Arizona, saying the tone of the national conversation must change.
Speaking from Haiti on the one-year anniversary of the earthquake there, Mr. Clinton suggested that passionate political speech should not be directly blamed for the kind of violence that occurred in Tucson. But he said the angry back-and-forth of modern debate is not healthy.
No one intends to do anything that encourages this sort of behavior, Mr. Clinton told the British Broadcasting Corporation. But he said the political commentary should not degenerate into demonization because it falls on the unhinged and the hinged alike.

It is politically incorrect to go there?
And they will ID everyone on the net now, so that they can get their revenge for us lowering our rhetoric to tell the TRUTH.
Yes, the truth must become politically incorrect. ONLY THE ARISTOCRATIC LEFT WILL DEFINE WHAT IS TRUE, IN ANY WAY THEY WANT........... GET IT, YOU PEONS?/s
I reckon this is what Slick WIllie means to say, along with the entire Left Wing worm eaten caucus.Its time the left disappeared, along with ash-hats like Slick WIllie and Obama.We got a country to run.They have a country to destroy.
“his private brain operated separately from his public brain”
Well, women often tell us men that we do our thinking with the wrong head!
So the left is going to stop inciting violence?
Bill Clinton changed politics in America. It used to be about service to one's country. But ever since Clinton came on the scene, it's been about winning no matter what - without principles, standards, decency or honor. Bill Clinton is one sick puppy. For all we know, his pathetic example of human behavior could've influenced the Tucson shooter just as much as Sarah Palin's choice of words.
(Note: My sources for Juanita Broaddrick's rape allegation against Bill Clinton are NBC News and Dateline NBC from back when Tim Russert ran the place instead of Keith Olbermann and his present-day gang of left-wing haters.)
Bill gets back at you underhanded and we all know the story of dead cats etc.They will shut you up no matter what it takes.Even to make a law against words.But in the end it’s the deeds that count.They way they are going the people will vote out the rest of the Dems.They are sick of this.
Our side has been Ghandi.
Your side is committing all the mayhem.
What I don’t understand besides him not being jailed for rape is when he was impeached why did they allow him to stay in office? After all of the things he and Hillary had done and were going to do why didn’t they take him out of office? I know they have that option and if Nixon had chosen to stay they would have sent him packing and he didn’t come close to the Clintons or Obamas.
Congress critters said what they had read about him made them sick enough to throw up. That’s one reason I want none of those low lifes in office or anywhere near government.
How quaint. He refers to the revolution as a "debate." They're all panicked by the specter of government teat amputations.
Jimmy Carter said essentially the same thing. They both want back the old Fairness Doctrine media of Walter Cronkite & Co when the only source for electronic news was “Enn-Bee-Cee! Cee-Bee-Ess! Ayy-Bee-Cee!”
Hey, Bill! Let me buy you a plate full of cheeseburgers.
Yes I watched a report, I think NBC, questioning where all the money has gone.
They showed brand new truck, never used, donated by American Taxpayers, sitting at the airport, because the so-called Gov charges outragous import fees.
I would like the aid agencies to report how much they have paid to bribery “outragous IMPORT TAXES”
In otherwords NOTHING has been done to provide these people with food and shelter. But hey the medical clinics are thriving fuly staffed.
How about a construction company with workers to build livable housing.
Yeah BUBBA answer those question, don’t stick your big ole nose in situations where you don’t belong, like Arizona.
I haven’t even had my 1st cup of coffee.
I saw a whole bunch of donated cars with weeds and vines growing over them at the Port-au-Prince airport on Fox last night — “detained” due to the unwillingness or inability to pay the import fees. Did anyone even ask the Govt. to suspend any rules or laws that prohibit effective help? This shows once again that in third world and communist countries there is no regard or caring for human suffering. That only comes from the Judeo/Christian Western people. So glad that the clinics are at least working well enough to keep the bandage on the hemorrhage. If I were in charge, I would announce that everyone is leaving today unless the Haiti Govt. steps aside and lets the real help begin. Bubba, just shut up - there’s nothing you have to say worth hearing.
