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.

My long-term goal is that Clinton is ranked below both Richard Nixon and Andrew Johnson as the worst president ever.

Clinton was a much more worse president then Richard Nixon was. He was in fact the worst president.
That IMHO, and I stick by it.

I am very very uncomfortable with Bill Clinton.

I can't bring myself to say I hate Clinton. I am restrained from saying that I hate him, not on religious grounds because I believe the it is okay to hate Satan and his minions, but I fear that if I say I hate Clinton I might be in violation of hate speech legislation. The thought and speech police are alive and well in EU land, I am fear they will be here soon.

Let's start the official, CLINTON HATERS CLUB. We can run it like a fan club, sending newsletters and buttons out. I think it would boast a pretty large membership.

Jacksonville killed a lawyer in a duel during the period between his election and his inauguration -- how can you not like that?

it would be kind of hard to find that article, since Royko stopped working for the Sun-Times in 1984.

The question isn't, "Why do people hate Clinton so much?" The question is, "Why doesn't everyone hate Clinton?"

Every time I see pictures of the WTC burning, planes flying through buildings, the Pentagon up in smoke, I only hate Clinton more! I blame him and Hildabeast for all that is happening to us now. Their ignorant neglect of this country while they were busy looking after their own interests, is the reason why we are in the shape we're in today. Chelsea is no better than her parents, only worse actually. She's feeding at the tax payers trough while partying over in England, flying back and forth with her new boyfriend etc., all at our expense. Her parents have never paid a dime for her expenses, we have, the tax payers!

These Clintons are a wart on the butt of humanity and I and many others hate their guts!

I hate the Clintons. Hate is the correct word. Anything less would make me feel unpatriotic.

Did I say "Jacksonville?" Jeez! Obviously should be "Jackson." Guess it comes from once having lived in Jacksonville.

do you even understand the meaning of 'innocent until proven guilty? if the evidence was there, Ray should have prosecuted, otherwise, there is no guilt. that's the rule of law.

Indeed. On this point we agree. I suggested some reasons above:

1) they personally profited from his corrupt administration;
2) they hate America;
3) they prefer the rule of men to the rule of law;
4) they are single issue fanatics who would tolerate anything in their advocate; or
5) they are terminally stupid.

By his own admission, ray gave him a pass. The people of the U.S. should have had the opportunity to hear and see the evidence, and have a jury decide on his fate.

Ray robbed us of that.

I'm category (vi)- an American who understands the rule of law in my country. Investigation, innuendo, and indictment(or impeachment) do not guilt make. Proof and conviction do. That's the Law. and it goes both ways- if we want that rule extended to our side, we have to extend it to theirs.

then Ray should be brought up on obstruction of justice charges. that way, the evidence will see the light of day, and Ray willget whathe deserves for selling the American people down the river.
