The sooner CNN is bankrupt, the better.
I have noted that, time and again, on the part of media pundits and rank and file voters. For example, Rush and Russert and O'Reilly and Hannity et al. were always willing to immediately assume the worst of Clinton, without even bothering to check the facts to see if their wild and treasonous assertations were true.
I can't even name the number of "scandals" that the press and conservatives in general were able to stain Clinton with. In every case but one, all those charges turned out to be lies, but that didn't stop his enemies form embracing and endlessly repeating those lies on television, on the radio, in newspapers and magazines, and in every other form of media.
In every case, over and over again, regardless of the ridiculousness of the accusations, his enemies invariably assumed the worst about Clinton. They even suggested, when he was sending cruise missles after Bin Laden, that he was "wagging the dog."
So I know what you mean when you complain about pundits and people treating the president without respect or honor. Unfortunately, that's the way it is nowadays. Conservatives changed the rules about how Americans talk about their president in order to lambaste Clinton mercilessly. Now Bush has to live under the new rules. No, he won't like these new rules -- but then neither did Clinton, and he put up with being called every name in the book for over eight years.
Criticism has always come with the job. And nowadays, criticism comes with calumnies and insults, because that's the way conservatives wanted it.
The above is just for starter's. I promise you, hidy, you have just opened up a Pandora's box for this forum...DUCK for cover!

By now, you should realize...
Oh never mind...someone pass Hildy another cup of kool-aid. After that verbal vomit, she/he's probably a little dehydrated.

'"I can't even name the number of "scandals"...'
An apologist for komrade krintoon for sure.
Ummm, lets see, WJC sent a single cruise missile into an apirin factory, on the eve of Monica Lewinsky testimony, and he was going after bin Ladin?..........rrrrriiiiiigggggghhhhhttttt
"Unfortunately, that's the way it is nowadays. Conservatives changed the rules about how Americans talk about their president in order to lambaste Clinton mercilessly."
Oh yeah, I remember the press treating Reagan and Bush Sr. with such respect. The only problem liberals have had with the "rules" of reporting on Clinton, is that they were created prior to him, and when they are applied, it was just such a terrible and hateful thing, of which they demanded suspension of course, until another conservative sat in the oval office.
You can see that the essence of Clinton is dripping from his chin. Nothing you can ever say to him and no proof that can ever be offered will make him give up his devotion to Scumbag. He drank the Kool-Aide long ago.
He talked about reading his Bible to decide that Scumbag did not rape Juanita Broaddrick.
One of the purposes of this forum is to inform each other and plan action that can be helpful to our conservative cause.
I learned my lesson. Attempting to have a discussion with someone still on his kneepads will accomplish nothing. It will waste your time. Much of South Central Los Angeles will never believe that O.J. Simpson murdered two people. The same with Scumbag. Hidy is a partisan hack and all he wants to do is mentally masturbate with anyone here who will give him the opportunity.
He is of no value on this forum. He simply takes up space. I do not have enough respect for him to engage in further discourse.
