From Archive.org's Wayback machine, just an old nugget for giggles. Toobin showed up here and asked Freepers "for information" but most of us figured out what he was really doing. He was never going to investigate anything Freepers provided (and in 1999, we had a lot!). He was only fishing for the most outrageous things he could quote in his Clinton apologia and contend that everybody aligned against that dirty old rapist was some kind of right wing lunatic. Of course, I never read his book, but somebody confirmed that any mention of FR was concerning the dark forces aligned against Poor Innocent Bill and Hillary. Some people were polite to him, but most of us told him to go ____ himself. Twenty years later, he did.
An Appeal for Help From a Book Writer
My name is Jeffrey Toobin, and I am a staff writer at The New Yorker and the legal analyst for ABC News. I am writing a book, to be published next year by Random House, on the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky cases. I have been struck by the level of detailed analysis that some Freepers have done on these cases. I would like anyone who is interested to send me old or new posts which include this analysis. I am most interested in your work on texts like the Starr report. I am less interested in purely ideological statements. I cannot guarantee that I will agree with all or any of what you send me, but I do want to see what you have to say. Many thanks.

What you had in the Paula Jones and much more so in the Monica Lewinsky situation was a struggle waged on three different yet equally valid battlefields. Legal, political, and cultural. A proper analysis in my opinion would take into account the lay of the land on each and the intersections between them. Thus, each affected the other, but all three had distinct ground rules and differing objectives from the others. It is sort of like Star Trek's Three Dimensional Chess.
A move on one level would affect and be affected by the impact it would have on the others.
The flaw in the above analogy is that it posits two roughly equal and opposing masterminds moving the pieces. However, in reality the entire mess was caused by one person and the resulting tumult was and is the natural results of differing people with differing roles and agendas reacting to the outrage, and in turn others reacting in outrage over the outraged.
Thus, if there really would have been a working and viable Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to topple the President, it would have to be considered stunningly incompetent, because many decisions were made at different levels by different people that, if they would have gone differently, would have drastically changed the outcome.
But he dodged the bullet he aimed at himself by his own serious and deep character flaws.
Which gets us to the meat of the matter. No book can do justice to the topic if it doesn't take a good hard look at the character of Bill Clinton and those who supported him. Because, if indeed Bill Clinton is a pathological liar who has a history of sexual assault and rape, treason, perjury, and other felonies, the real story here is how could a man like that become President of the United States and stay there after it became public knowledge?

Typical -- you expect Freepers to do all the work, while you get all the credit -- and, more importantly, you get to apply the "correct" slant.

Or, is it simply standard practice for liberal book-writer's to incestuously copy and plagiarize thoughts they receive from same-thinking people? Come to think of it, maybe your request is symptomatic: liberals frequently seem to be lost within a self-created, circular thinking, dialectic jungle. And, what else is there to say other than that which passes liberalism's dialectic tests?
Just one word of advice - don't avoid ideological maxims; there is much to learn from conservative maxims such as "God helps those who help themselves."

I don't agree with your approach, though it is understandable. When we campaigned for Prop 209, we were as helpful to the press as we could be. It's right in Christian Charity, and minds can be changed by facts, even liberals' minds. Besides, you help the reporter avoid embarrasing errors, which as a professional he doesn't want to do, even if he disagrees with you. You help him write a truer story, and if your side is right, that's all to the good. At the worst, you've wasted your time in a good faith effort. Worse things could happen.

History is written by the liberals. -Richard M. Nixon-
This is a perfect example of the fork in the road. FReepers can decide whether we will all sit around and preach to our own choir or whether we will make a difference in the world.
Helping a writer who will leave a written version of these sad events in our country's history will have a tremendous impact.
Besides, maybe Mr. Toobin has the intellectual integrity to look at the evidence and see that, like Judge Wright, we can all see contempt, "obvious lies" and obstruction of justice and have his perspective changed.
Oh, Mr. Toobin, please make sure Juanita Broaddrick gets treated with the same respect you would show Anita Hill. Thanks and good luck with your book.

Mr. Toobin,
I'm a little busy today and tomorrow, but hopefully before the weekend, I will find time to comb the archives for some of the information you request. I will forward it as I find it. I think you will see some justifiable (and some not) invective against Clinton. But you will also find more in the way of thoughtful comment and legal analysis by Freepers than you will see on most network talking head programs, and infinitely more than on any other on-line forum that I am aware of. There are some who hang out here that you would not want to oppose in either a court room or in an open debate.
As to your final product
you owe nothing other than intellectual honesty. In the world of ABC and the New Yorker, I can find little evidence that concept exists. But hope springs eternal. To paraphrase Nancy Reagan, "Just say no" to the Establishment PC Puritans. Publish the facts as you find them and let the reader decide.

COUNT ON HIS DISTORTING YOUR VIEWS AND MOCKING YOU IN THE MOST STEREOTYPICAL WAYS IMAGINABLE. THIS BOOK IS BEING WRITTEN TO CLEAN-UP "THE RECORD" OF CLINTON'S PERFIDY. YOUR ARGUMENTS AND VIEWS WILL BE TWISTED BEYOND RECOGNITION BUT IN A VERY SUBTLE WAY ONCE THIS MAN GETS AHOLD OF THEM - THAT IS THE VERY PURPOSE OF HIS BOOK - TO UNDERCUT THE TRUTH THAT HERETOFORE THE MEDIA HAS ONLY BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN KICKING UNDER THE RUG.
DO NOT BE FLATTERED BY HOW "IMPRESSED" HE ALLEGEDLY IS WITH SOME FREEPER'S ARGUMENTS. The other point of the book is to cleanse the outrageious liberal propagandists' reputations for history. The book is meant to distort the historical record - BEWARE!
And you TOOBIN - do your own damn research and for your cheap slime job - the archives are accessible to all! The stench of your reputation preceeds you, sir.

For instance, the interview was aired opposite the Grammys with less than 24 hours of notice. The was no "publicity" per say. That you can not order a copy of that Dateline episode and the local affiates can not use the tape. People understand that. My biggest and best move is to tell them, call Dateline and try to order the 2/24/99 episode, you can't. Call you NBC affiliate and ask if they can use the Broaddrick interview tapes or is it "embargoed"? After I say that, there are few people who simply pass it off as another of Clinton's "bimbo erruptions".
If he takes that and spins it, ultimately that's between him and God, and I don't think it will go well for Toobin. One of my favorite images is Clinton pleading his case before God, why he was right and not wrong on whatever the issue may have been. I really believe that Clinton feels he can BS God too!

"I think it is safe to say that the President committed no crime in Whitewater, and in fact, the whole "scandal" may have been blown out of proportion."
Q: "Jeffrey, Is it true that if President Clinton resigns and Al Gore take the reigns Gore may only serve one term plus the remaining time of Clinton's watch?
A: Not true. The Constitution says that you can be elected twice, so Gore could serve for the remainder of Clinton's and then the two terms following.
Q: Why isn't gathering tons of FBI files on Republicans considered an abuse of power?
A: Because there is no evidence that the President personally knew about this activity or supported it in any way.

I am somewhat embarrassed by the outpouring of nastiness toward this writer, with the exception of your message and relatively few others. The thing I dislike most about many liberals is the smarmy, smart-aleck way they have of denigrating people who are being civil to them. So we dish out the exact same treatment to somebody who asks a courteous question. All anybody had to say is a polite "Here's how you search the archives", which aren't even operable at present. Mr. Toobin may have thought that people had their own archives of some of the material not available on the site. These kinds of reactions make me wonder when people lost the ability to even have a civil conversation without the insults, did this many people attend the Bart Simpson School of Etiquette? I may disagree with Mr. Toobin philosophically on many issues, but I welcome the chance to exchange views and let him know why I feel about Clinton as I do. If he misrepresents anything from FR, then fine, raise hell. Sometimes folks around here make it so easy for people to write us all off as a bunch of fringe wackos who can't actually discuss anything.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to which research will bear more weight in Mr. Toobin's final analysis -- his own, or the FreepNik's?Sorry to be such a cynic, but I think anyone from this forum that helps this guy is going to feel like a sucker after (or if) this book ever comes out. Mr. Toobin could've just lurked here for a month and accumulated enough research to write several books, if he were interested in the truth. Methinks with this effort he's simply trying to get some homey "anecdotes" from card-carrying members of the Radical Lunatic Right Wing.

God bless the gentle hearts on FR. I admire you tons, Doctor R, but I must respectfully disagree.
Does anyone really think Toobin doesn't know what he was doing? Do you really think Toobin was just a victim of WH spin? He was a collaborator for heaven's sake - they all were. The only exceptions are Michael Kelly and Chris Hitchens - and look what's happened with them! (Kelly lost the editorship of The New Republic because his boss, the forever lisping creep whose name eludes me now thinks Al Gore is his ticket into the WH power circle - guy used to be Al's prof at Harvard...and no LIBERALS protested that injustice shown a principled member of their own crowd.) Turley is another honest man, but he's in academia....
This book Toobin intends to write is a premeditated effort to muddy the waters. He knows he's a collaborator in deceit - he is attempting to adjust the historical record - for his elitist socio-fascist pals and himself. Random House is one of the biggest purveyors of liberal intellectual mediocrity in the publishing business.
Toobin's appeal to FR is an attempt to defeat JimRob and the archives - a tremendous resource for future historians. The easiest way to do that is to discredit the record-keepers - YOU!!!
Do any of you actually think an opportunist like Toobin is going to write a book that discredits his own positon and role in keeping the criminal Bubbaboon and his downmarket Lady MacBeth in the WH? My God - Harvard College, Harvard Law??? He's one of the chosen! Think he's going to step outside the magic circle???
Go ahead and help him, but I assure you not a one of you will recognize yourselves, your convictions or your work once this guy is done - there is no other reason for such a visible and documentable collaborator in deceit to be writing this book; and there is no other reason for the timid, anxious-to-please mainstream dimwits at Random House to be publishing him on this subject.

Jeffrey Toobin covered the O.J. Simpson trial for the New Yorker. A year after the verdict, he has come out with an exhaustive and fascinating book: The Run Of His Life: The People Vs. O.J. Simpson.
In this exclusive interview he (Toobin) explains how he discovered the record of detective Mark Fuhrman's racist past and why he went with his discovery to the defense. He and Danna Schaeffer discuss his insights into the major players in the trial of the century.
Amazing! You helped a killer get away with murder and then wrote a book to exploit it!

Jeff! I thought we were going to move on so Clinton could do the work that the American people elected him to do, why write a book about a subject that people aren't interested in? ; )
Instead, why not write a book about the Chinese, Clinton, the '96 election and the theft of our nuclear technology. Maybe you have kids Jeff, aren't you even concerned about their future? Heck, Gerth won a Pulitzer for his work in this area. Unfortunately, I guess to sell books today you have to have the sex angle to get anyone interested, huh?
Simply pick up the phone and call some of the people that have avoided testifying before congress, like John Huang and others. Jeff, Huang has only been deposed by Judicial Watch...you could be a hero and make lots of cash while you're at it!
Ask the Justice Department why they didn't grant a phone tap on suspected Los Alamos spy Mr. Lee's phone (out of more than 2,000 requests his was the only denial). Or fly over to China & Indonesia where you can get exclusive interviews from all the people that illegally contributed to the 96 election-that's where they are hanging out. Wow, goosepimples are-a-poppin as I imagine the story you could write that would surely become a NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER!!!! .
You could have a blockbuster! Jeff, don't miss out on this opportunity. We want ya.

This thread just had that same tone to it, and it made me feel very uncomfortable that we are treating people the way the legal site people did.

No, nova, I don't believe Toobin is capable of defeating the truth or JimRob. I do believe the book is an effort to dispense with "the right" and the arguments conservatives made regarding Bubbaboon's corrupt govt. The Random House book will be THE mainstream book on the right wing & Clinton, and therefore it will be endlessly quoted and repeated. Toobin will use a judicious slection of posts and threads and other bits and pieces of FR to discredit us. Since journalists are lazy, they will look no further - Toobin will have constructed all the arguments and accumulated the observations to marginalize the right's views on this issue. As the lie is repeated and repeated, it will become received wisdom....and it will take a truly curious professional historian several decades hence to correct the record.

Do you expect ABC to address this issue? If not, could you personally ask someone to look into it and file a report?
After all, it isn't news until it's reported on ABC.

I have been so disappointed, and a wee bit hurt.
Maybe you, "CaptRon" and the dead guy above could do something to turn this around. What do you say?
Check out the web site listed below, and dead guy, it just takes a "click"..not too worry!!
And oh yes, Mr Bookwriter, we could get together for lunch. I am completely serious when I say I would be most happy to colaborate. I have some serious talent and am a genuine FACT finder; won't tolerate spin either.
So, if you are genuinely interested, from the "advance" on...just email me. And thank you for your invitation to all of us to join you.
Frankly, I am interested!!

Doc, you know me, I'm going to take this opportunity to Remind everyone.....that they should Read the Activism Article, titled, "INVISIBE FReepers". Once read, folks will have the ability to ......"VISIBLY" Change the Future!
Mr. Toobin, I'd like to test your knowledge of ....'books'! Have you read... "LONG TIME PASSING-VIETNAM & THE HAUNTED GENERATION"? By Myra MacPherson?
I have posted a few excerpts from my good friend Myra's book,... a few minutes ago, and .....would you please critique it ....while your visiting us?
Please, get back with me....as you don't know this yet, but, I too, ...am a 'VERY FAMOUS AUTHOR.' Please look in the FR Activism Category, and you'll find my eleven (11) "highly regarded" - 'books', that all of us here in FR go by .....to Rid Ourselves of the Treasonous, Lying, 'Contemptable Rapist'....KLINTOON.
That's KLINTOON, and I'm sure you know who I'm referring to.
Mr Toobin, I too, have many degrees. And I, like you, tend to write ...very strange, biased material. You, write Democrap 'stuff'..... Me,....I write...Ingenious 'stuff' and I don't mean simple novels about how to "better-hide"....'stuff'. (As in attics and under beds)
Fellow Writer, if you keep thinking those liberal thoughts, you might get Lucky... very soon....and be chosen...to go to KOSOVO...to write a book .....about the.... "DEAD WHO WILL BE COMING HOME IN BODY BAGS."
Remember, since we are both in the same ...'business', please post your reply to me, at your leisure. I'm always here .....working on NEW 'BOOKS'! Thank you. JUROR-hou.

Hey, did you know that Mr Toobin, is a 'Writer'....like me? HEHEHE~~~~~

That's funny. I am one of the many Activist Writer's for FR. They keep me 'locked up" in the 'Dungeon'...downstairs. Just look around ...and you will "see"the Secret Entrance!
If and when you come down here...make sure you make an appointment with my 'fellow cell-mate'...who goes by the name of ...gaijin. He's an Activist Writer too ...and he, like me, spews forth latherous Green and Yellow Putrid Slime.
Honestly though, see if you can ....hold a chat with Alamo-Girl and Jolly. Both of them along with another hero named boston,.....are the 'main dudes' of FR Intelligence.

Dear Mr. Toobin,
Your analysis and comment on the O. J. Simpson case was rational.
But in the matter of Bill Clinton, you totally lost your way.
Just my opinion, but thought you could use an honest one.

Dear Mr. Toobin,
PS: Your buddy Bill Clinton can't even hold onto the Nuclear Football.
(in reference to Clinton leaving the aide and the nuclear launch codes in his
dust when he abruptly left the NATO 50th anniversary bash.
The aide walked 4 blocks to the White House; White House spokesman and
Last Living Neanderthal Joe Lochhart said "Everything is alright.") Sure.

Bumping this old thread where we gave Toobin the business. His masterpiece is finally complete. We on the dark side are not appreciated. The twit felt unloved around here: Review of Toobin's book.

The bad news is that Liberals do write the history books.
The good news is that most people don't bother reading them.

Did you ever interview David Schippers to find out exactly what he was referencing in his mention of the fact that there was enough evidence in the vault in the Ford Building to get Clinton's citizenship revoked?

It was 1871 in Tombstone. The preached asked if anyone had anything to say.
We just stood there, not knowing what to say or do, slowly drawing circles in the dirt with our boots. No one knew the deceased.
There was a long silence.
Finally this one feller spoke up, "If'n no one minds, I'd like to say a few kind words about Texas......."

Y'all remember this "request?" Which posters were right and which were wrong? All you people who insisted that we should "give the guy a break" should now understand that to an avowed liberal, anyone who does not subscribe to their twaddle is "evil" and therefore, everything they do is "good" regardless of the fact that data, reason and logic prove them to be the hanky-stomping idiots that they are.
Brand this on your forehead, people:
There will never be a peaceful co-existence with these pie-in-the-sky, we-know-what's-best-for-everyone fools.
If you believe otherwise, then you have already conceded defeat.

It portrays an overlooked fact about A-list journos.
They’re lazy. If they can think of a way to have someone else do their research for them they will.
Seeing all those usernames made my heart hurt.
I have to hand it to him, Toobin was a jerk. He wasn’t going to pull info from us.
That thread is Golden.
Did you ever get your landscaping done??
Bkmrk
Think he was ‘Punching the Clown’ at the time?
Toobin probably just needed a right hand man on his staff to take the necessary actions to make his project come to a satisfactory conclusion.
Now _that_ was funny, and I am _way_ too high-brow to like those kind of jokes. :-)
Yeah some blasts from the past on the thread.
No, nobody showed up!
2bin can whack off...oh wait he is...
still reading this gives me a thrill just seeing so many great Freeper names from the past like Doctor Raoul and so many others, and yes dead is included. :)
Great find.
I wonder where he is jerking off today....
Bookmark
This.
Thanks for the wonderful blast-from-the-past...
They pulled at my hard strings
