Still a Clinton hater. And loving it.
Oak Lawn (IL) Reporter ^ | 4/11/02 | Michael M. Bates

Posted on 04/09/2002 5:15:38 AM PDT by mikeb704

I don’t care how long it’s been since Clinton dragged his sorry carcass – and anything else he could swipe – out of the White House. I don’t want to forget the Clinton years. I don’t want to move on. I don’t want to put it all behind me.

I hate Clinton as ardently now as when he energetically defiled the Nation on a daily basis. I hate his wife, and his daughter, too. And I won’t be satisfied until everyone hates them as much as I do.

That, you may argue, isn’t feasible, despite the multitude of excellent reasons to hate them. My answer is that in a country that could elect a deceitful sleaze like Clinton, anything is possible.

For years I gave Chelsea a pass. After all, it wasn’t her fault that she was born into a family of crooks. She’s grown up now, though, and is her own person. So what did she do immediately after the terrorist attacks of September 11th? She’s written that she was "expounding on the detriments of Bush’s tax cut as we approached Grand Central Terminal . . ." Quite clearly, she’s a developing basket case, one deserving the same scorn and derision as the unfit parents who inculcated her with socialist nonsense.

What’s especially preposterous are Clinton’s incessant attempts to rewrite history. A few months ago he rounded up some of his bootlicking apologists and urged them to publicize all his supposed accomplishments as president. More recently, he permitted the Monica Lewinsky of newsmagazines, Newsweek, to interview him. Clinton claimed that giving Marc Rich, former regular on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted List, was a mistake because – hold your breath here – "It wasn’t worth the damage to my reputation."

His reputation? His reputation? What a knee lapper. Clinton’s got a reputation, all right. But it’s certainly not one that could be damaged. Here’s a guy who was:

Fined $90,000 for lying under oath and obstructing justice. Forced to pay an $850,000 settlement in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Disbarred in Arkansas. Prohibited from practicing law before the U.S. Supreme Court.

He ran the White House like a Motel 6 for Democrat fat cats. He took campaign contributions from Chinese communists. He entertained felons, including drug peddlers and arms smugglers, in the Executive Mansion.

Remember how the Clintons managed to get their hands on 900 FBI files they weren’t supposed to have? Or the puzzling reappearance of subpoenaed billing records?

Then there were the last minute pardons. Susan McDougal, Roger Clinton, and Clinton’s former secretary of Housing and Urban Development were pardoned. So were Weather Underground radicals, murderers, drug dealers, and a bunch of folks who stole tax dollars. Hillary’s brothers, seeing how well Roger Clinton was doing by peddling influence, jumped on the pardon bandwagon themselves.

And what of Clinton and terrorism? In 1993 bin Laden’s thugs exploded a bomb in the World Trade Center, killing six and injuring hundreds of others. In 1995 they bombed a military headquarters in Riyatdh, Saudi Arabia and killed five Americans. In 1996 they bombed military barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and killed 19 Americans. In 1998 they bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and killed 224 people, including 12 Americans, and injured more than 5,000 others. In 2000 they bombed the U.S.S. Cole and killed 17 Americans. What did Clinton do about all this? Not much. He was too busy lying, obstructing, denying, obfuscating, stonewalling, and, of course, traveling.

Clinton whines about how much money has been spent on investigating him. But how much would have been spent if he had only told the truth?

So much to hate, so little time. Yet there’s reason to think that finally, finally, more Americans are recognizing the true Clinton legacy.

A recent Gallup poll rated the last eight presidents in terms of job approval. In the poll, the first one taken since he left office, Clinton ranked sixth, ahead of only Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.

Not bad for a start. In the meantime, let the hating continue.

Good article.

I found a place in my life to dislike everything the Klintoon family does, or says.

These SOB's should be incarcerated for life, performing hard-labor in the Mojave Desert.

I won't be happy until it's like in ancient Egypt - I want his name struck from every official document, every column, every roledex, every book and every man's (and woman's) mind.

The Romans were masters of this, much more so than the Egyptians (it was mostly the priests of Amon who zapped Akhenaten, and to a lesser degree Queen Hatshepsut). They even had an official name for it: "Damnatio Memoriae" - the Damnation of Memory. All public records and monuments were defaced to remove any mention of the damned.

Damnatio Memoriae

Too bad all the Ancient Roman consultants are dead . . . . :-D

Hate is NOT a strong enough word to describe my feelings towards those two (the jury is still out on Chelsea) ... I also hold in contempt ANYONE who actually likes these two criminals

You should have seen the kneepads on Gibsons show last night. Lanny Davis, Al Damato, and two Hillary fart catchers whose names escapes me. They were venomous in talking about the "Clinton hating machine". It was a disgusting display.

The level of non-stop scandal, chaos, uproar, coverups, public and private disasters, never-ending integrity issues, moral failures, stupid moves, asinine comments, public embarrassments and cheap hillybilly idiocies that never ended for 8 years is more than enough to convict these banana republic dicator wannabe's of complete failure as human beings. These ghouls left a trail of bodies and destroyed lives in their wake, proof enough that they were good at shutting people up.

This crap about 'no evidence' annoys me to no end. Circumstantial evidence alone could fill a library - Bill Clinton's liebrary - to the brim.

Some folks would stumble all over each other following the Clintons to Guyana, having song-alings all the way.

The most horrible fate I can think of is being lost my entire lifetime in the Clinton reality/dreamworld as one of their acolytes, completely convinced of their alleged good will toward all. It's how the Saddam Husseins of the world make it to the top. These people lift up the Pol Pots and Hitlers on their shoulders and carry them into power. It's really very spooky, watching this cult-following in action.

"means little, as none of the investigations turned up proof of actual indictable crimes, and in the U.S., you are innocent until proven guilty."

A chip off the Clinton block, you are. That's a bold lie that "none of the investigations turned up proof of incitable crimes" -- for they did, yet the prosecutors chose not to indict, for reasons unstated.

It's also a bold lie to say in this context of a discussion of general corruption that "you are innocent until proven guilty". By that measure Al Capone was an innocent who just ran afoul of the tax code.

Only in the narrow confines of a criminal trial are things established so that the judge and jury must presume an accused to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The everyday evidence and prevasiveness of corruption within the Clinton Administration are clear to any voter and citizen who looks fair and squarely at the history of it. To every working nostril came the scent -- and it stank.

One of the most vicious scandals that clinton created was travelgate. To lead people away in handcuffs on trumped up charges because you want to get your friends in to loot the department was the worst and the least known scandal. Mike Royko wrote a good column about it in the Sun-Times at the time. You should do a little search and see if you can find that article.

The persecution of Billy Dale still makes my blood boil. The meanest, sleaziest, smear, and it was all at Hillarys behest. How do you think that family feels when they see Clinton fawners and fart catchers claiming a VRWC was the reason the Clintons are so hated? God, I hate the Clintons. Just thinking about Travelgate and seeing Hillary at her booksigning, makes me wonder if they(the clintons) havent made a deal with the devil.
