Clinton calls terror a U.S. debt to past (BARF ALERT)

Bill Clinton, the former president, said yesterday that terror has existed in America for hundreds of years and the nation is "paying a price today" for its past of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed."

[SupplySider]

I notice he didn't mention looking the other way on the Rwanda genocide. Gee, maybe because it happened on his watch?

[Ditto]

What is interesting is that he gave this particular line of BS in front of a college crowd and told them basically what they have been taught to think --- i.e. that America is somehow dripping with guilt for past wrongs while all other nations, particularly our adversaries, are immune to any guilt complex. . He told an audience of 18-24 year olds exactly what they expected to hear and have been programmed to accept without question.

But --- would Bill Clinton have said the same thing in front of a Jewish audience, a FOP convention, a corporate audience or an audience of veterans. You know he wouldn't. He would of told each of those groups exactly what they would expect to hear as well, even if one message is completely contradictory to the others.

This is both the genius and the insanity of Bill Clinton. He can easily convince a fairly large percent of the population that he is very sincere about his beliefs when all he is doing is acting as a feedback mechanism for their own beliefs or bias. He is so convincing because while he is saying it, he actually believes it. He’s a method actor – he not only mouths the words, but actually becomes the character. For the next audience, he will do a total reversal, and firmly believe that message as well. In reality, he believes nothing and lives his life with the objective of saying and doing whatever is necessary to survive each moment. There is no real person under the mask and no philosophy or character to analyze. He’s the hollow man. .

The answer, Mr. Clinton said, is to spread freedom and democracy, reduce global poverty, forgive billions in debt, improve health care systems and encourage — even fund — education in developing countries.
"We ought to pay for these children to go to school — a lot cheaper than going to war," he said.

"We've got to defeat people who think they can find their redemption in our destruction. And then we have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness so that we don't claim for ourselves things we deny for others."

The more I read this crap, the more Clinton sounds like... Ralph Nader. All that's missing is the schtick about those evil plundering megacorporations and a maximum wage.

The former president, who left office just 10 months ago after an eight-year tenure, said the federal government is "woefully" lacking on several key terrorism-prevention areas.

So Mr Klinton, you are finally admitting that your administration sucked in this area.

Oh, but that's the fault of those rascally rightwing Republicans who wouldn't pass Clinton's terror bill! If Clinton and Reno had been given the power to snoop more or less at will, they'd have rid the country of Republicans -- oops, rid the country of terrorists -- before you can say "900 FBI Files".

"And then we have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness so that we don't claim for ourselves things we deny for others."

How many items that were denied others, did HE take for himself from the White House? Arrogant, self-righteousness....accurate self-portrait in case you asked me!

Clinton did his best to create hate, Killed thousands of christian Serbs and took their country and gave it to the Albanians.

Point of order, Mr. Chairman. The Republicans did not assume control of the House and Senate until 1994. The first WTC attack was in 1993. How convenient that the press forgets.

i'd personally like to kick him square in the ball$!! i mean, what else can you do?

You can't kick him in a portion of the anatomy he does not possess. To try and put it in the least crude way possible - he is all penis, no cojones. ;)

He also championed women's rights in Afghanistan, saying the reason "you see all those sanctimonious guys beating those women with sticks" is because the country's rulers demand strict adherence to the rules.

Notice how he slips in an attack on the rule of law itself.

[steve-b]

I'm referring to Clinton's attempt to wipe his @$$ with the Constitution in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 (which he insinuated was the fault of anti-government "hate radio").

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Called clinton's office......told them I was horrified to think he blamed the people who died in the WTC and the airplanes were responsible for the terror attack. Then left a recorded message saying that g-d would never forgive clinton for what he said. I am sick to my stomach after reading this early this morning.

Weren't there more than half a million who died fighting slavery? Why do you think Clinton forgot to mention them?

[OldFriend]

The only thing clinton ever wants to discuss is how bad America is and how evil we all are. Well I know billclinton and I know evil and billclinton is EVIL.....and so's his wife.

Here are some Pictures which help explain wht Clinton is such a JERK!

Agree....he's a method actor & a hollow man....and I'll add...totally amoral.....shameless, egotistical.....in love with the sound of his own voice.....and very dangerous!

[JulieRNR21]

We all should call....please post the phone number of Clinton's office.....and let's call the Capitol; especially Dashele & Gephardt & tell them that we are outraged by the EX pres's irrational attempts to help the terrorists justify their atrocities!

"He never abandoned me over all these years, even though he did not succeed in convincing me to become a Jesuit," said Clinton of his Jesuit teacher, drawing laughter and then cheers from the almost entirely white crowd of students.

That brings to my mind that when Hillary was offered a job with her mentor Saul Alinsky, she responded that she was much more useful for their radical Marxist agenda if she remained working undercovered from the outside. Billy, Hillary, Saul Alinsky and the Jesuits, all share the same hatred against America and its democratic values.

[Republicus2001]

I loathe Clinton's blame America first crowd and all the rest of his associate freedom-haters and evil-doers...

"This battle fundamentally is about what you think about the nature of truth," he said, noting that God has imposed on us the inability to ever know "the whole truth."

The clinically-applicable word here is "SOCIOPATHIC"!!!

BTW...Dan, got the 'puter fixed!!
