Best of the Web Today - Sex, Lies and the Angry Left (Clinton's womanizing OK--Arnold's isn't)

(Story about Arianna holding press conference with woman Arnold supposedly groped)

You just have to laugh at the Angry Left. How can these people expect anyone to take them seriously when they publish books with titles like "The Big Lies of George W. Bush and the Big Lying Liars of George W. Bush Who Tell Them?"--and their hero is Bill Clinton? Reasonable people can disagree with Bush policies, of course, but constantly calling him a "liar" serves only to remind people of how honest he is compared with his predecessor.

That's not all, folks. Clinton's lies, the nascent Angry Left told us at the time, were excusable because they were "about sex." A state employee accuses him of dropping his trousers, a campaign volunteer charges him with groping her in the Oval Office, a nursing-home operator says he raped her in the 1970s--those are all just "personal peccadilloes." It's time to move on!

In fact, there was a Web site called MoveOn.org http://moveon.org/ set up in 1998 to oppose impeachment, which has remained in operation and turned into a center of Angry Left activity. So what are the folks at MoveOn up to these days? For one thing, they're beating the BUSH LIED!!!! drum, using a witless adjunct site called Misleader.org http://www.misleader.org/ .

Then there's this http://www.moveonpac.org/moveonpac/viewcandidates.phtml: "We're asking you to help fund a television ad devoted to putting [Arnold] Schwarzenegger's problem with women into the public eye. We need to raise at least $500,000 to make this happen."

The Drudge Report reproduces a MoveOn.org news release announcing a press conference this morning in Los Angeles, featuring MoveOn co-founder Joan Blades, former candidate and "Green Acres" star Arianna Huffington and an unnamed "woman cited in the Los Angeles Times article" on Schwarzenegger's past boorishness.

So let's see if we have this straight. Bush is bad because he "lies." Schwarzenegger is bad because he (admittedly) treated women in an offensive way. But Clinton's behavior was no big deal because he lied about offensive treatment of women. Does MoveOn really mean to assert as its guiding principle that it's acceptable to molest and even assault women if and only if you lie about it?

Does MoveOn really mean to assert as its guiding principle that it's acceptable to molest and even assault women if and only if you lie about it?

No. IT means to assert as its guiding principle the standard liberal notion that it's not what you do that matters, it's what you belive. Clinton believed in all the liberal causes so he got a pass on his behavior. Conservatives believe the wrong things so they're evil even when they behave themselves and doubly evil if they misbehave.

The arguement fails when it states "any reasonable person". The left is not reasonable. There is not one thread of reason in the entire fascist foundation, walls, and ceiling that make up the true leftist agenda (the one they never let anyone say in public).

Let the press feast on Termite then that leaves a clear field for conservative Tom McClintock. After 8 years of Bubba Clintoon and his sexual escapades and the years of abusive behavior of former Sen. Bob Packwood from OR (while acknowledging the press, RATS and women organizations like NOW turned their head the other way), then McClintock will be a breath of fresh air just as Bush was.

You forgot to post this tidbit:

Along with MoveOn.org, MeetUp.com is one of the twin pillars of Howard Dean's online campaign. MeetUp allows people to find others in their area who have similar interests and set up gatherings. And it's not just political; MeetUps for fans of "Sex and the City" and the Barenaked Ladies are among the many offerings.

The MeetUp medium does, however, create the possibility of cultural misunderstanding. The most popular city for "Sex and the City" MeetUps is Karachi, Pakistan, and the Barenaked Ladies are most popular in Islamabad. But apparently the Pakistanis don't realize that "SATC" is a TV show and the Ladies are a rock group. Here are some sample posts, quoted verbatim, from the Karachi "Sex and the City" board:

i like read and write poetry.i like friendship with girl.s

I am a slim, smart, fit, male and looking for nice sexual relations

I am Sameer from Khi Pakistan 24 years old and love have a sex, Is here any sexy gal wanna hve a sex with me plz contact me on [telephone number deleted]
Even better is this post from the Islamabad Barenaked Ladies page: "hi its great to know that natural people live here in Islamabad who want to be naked physically and innerly, I will love to join a meetup."

From the www.moveon.org website:

Coverage of the "Censure and Move On" campaign MoveOn started as an online petition asking the Congress to "censure Pres. Clinton and move on to pressing issues facing the nation."

Ironic, that an organization that wanted to country to forget Clinton's sexual adventures (and lies) and "move on" to more pressing issues, is now leading the charge to disqualify Arnold because of his "groping" of other woman, an offense far less offensive than those of Clinton.
