So what should be left alone is made into political witch-hunt and what should be legitimately made into political issue is covered up in jingoism.

Do you get the talking points via fax or just wait until the word of the week shows up in editorials in both the Wash Post and NY times? I have yet to find anyone who actually knew what jingoism meant until it was used by the NY Times (and amazingly simultaneously the WP) to discredit and malign:
The counter-protesters who supported not the war but the people who were in harms way
The talk show hosts (Glenn Beck, Hannity, Liddy et al) who supported these rallies
And the artists who wrote and performed stirring music to remind us of our national pride.

This is a classic example of how people like the Clintons can remain in the public eye. Even now, years later, after an impeachment, a contempt order, and a disbarmant - there are people trying to defend the actions of these people by casting blame on those who sought to maintain the integrity of the public trust.

For all of you on that side of the fence some simple questions: Who wrote this book? Who brought this subject BACK to the national stage? Who actually stands to gain from the publicity and book sales generated by the recycling of this story?

Hillary and Bill cannot be hurt further by this story. The whole world is aware of the details, and even those in the farthest reaches of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy are honestly tired of the story. If it helps Hillary and/or Bill in any way it is a win for them. There is no backlash left, there is no farther to fall. To them this is like a bet after the house has already folded - even if you lose it's still a tie.
