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."

As I have said for a long time:

"May the name, 'bill clinton', be damned for all time."

They just showed a clip on FNC. He was slurring his words! The boy was either drunk or (more likely) coked out of his mind. What a scumball turd.

How come Jerry Fawell gets raked over the coals for blaming our secular society for calling down God's wrath and Clinton can say it is our fault because of America's past behavior and gets a pass from the press

Clinton does not blame the terrorists for these crimes, but blames America. He is a sick human being.

This is all Alexander Fleming's fault. Had he not discovered Penicillin X42 would no longer be around to spew his traitorous venom.

"Here's how I think you ought to think about it..."

That's the kind of arrogance that infuriated me over his 8 year reign. God!, that man is pompous!

"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."

Oh yea, THAT's worked in the past...What a silly buffoon! More leftist propaganda to prop up support for more government agencies and power...It is truly amazing how leftist propagandists seem to make seemingly rational adults think like children...

"We ought to pay for these children to go to school ? a lot cheaper than going to war "

Yet another brilliant Clinton idea! Clue: idiots are born that way. No amount of 'education' is going to help them.
As far as the 'murders' of Native Americans, I am so tired of hearing this propaganda about how 'we' wronged the Indians. Some of the first colonists to come to America (this was long before they had any time to do anything wrong to the Indians!) were attacked immediately upon arriving to the new world. No discussion, no treaties, nothing. They were just attacked without provocation. Gee, I wonder where the derogatory term "savage" might have come from. The evidence for it is well accepted and voluminous.
As for slavery, they were a part of an *international* slave trade and most were better off in America than they were back home. But no one wants to hear that part; the truth that is.

But overall, that man's comments are so sociopathic, so delusional and so factually warped that it tires the rational mind to address them...

The man just won't stop. Did you see that one about Chelsea saying she almost died on 9-11? Couldn't open; but that is the sort of the title on Drudge. These people are simply awful and they have crossed the line. I hope they never have another moment's peace for the rest of their lives.

I'm astounded. Such brilliance. Clintoon understands terrorism so well! It all makes sense now. We are all former plantation holders and now we pay the price. My ancestors must have had a plantation in Switzerland. They managed to smuggle African slaves in there somehow, I suppose, to get this Swiss cotton field started. Not sure where my lavish inheritance is yet. I'll keep an eye out. Maybe it is under my bed....

Especially for one who professes to not be afraid of, the fire

Well now, guess that depends on who is tending the fire!!!

Funny, I think my favorite Middle Earth character is Arien, guardian of the SUN, maiden spirit of fire!!!! Was going to post to Mud tomorrow with a little more info. Read my mind? Or just testing?

What I find interesting is that he's casting blame for what happened hundreds of years into the past, and saying that the Crusades, slavery, and the indians are the cause of terror, today.

When I was a kid and the Japs attacked us at Pearl Harbor I never made the connection to slavery,crusades and our treatment of indians as being the underlying problem.

Thanks Bill for enlightening me. -Tom

". If you live in a country where you're never required to take responsibility for yourself, where you never even have to ask whether there's something you should be doing to solve your own problems, then people are kept in kind of a permanent state of collective immaturity and it becomes quite easy for them to believe that someone else's success is the cause of their distress."

Isn't this his prescription to African-Americans?

"In the first Crusade, when the Christian soldiers took Jerusalem, they first burned a synagogue with 300 Jews in it and proceeded to kill every woman and child who was a Muslim on the Temple Mount. I can tell you that story is still being told today in the Middle East and we are still paying for it."

Why would the U.S, be paying for the Crusades that occured long before the U.S. even existed????

Oh..I get it! It must be because of the Christians who came here (or live here now) that the United States is paying this debt.
According to Clinton, THE CHRISTIANS brought all this bad karma on us!
This man is UN-believable!

Firstly, Bill Clinton is an admitted perjuror and was impeached as the President of the United States for lying under oath.

Clinton's comments are either a cover-up of his ineptness as President and his failure to deter terrorism or he is a traitor to the United States of America.

Clinton's comments are akin to blaming Americans for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor because our ancestors owned slaves or may have mistreated Indians. I have to wonder if he might not be into liberal guilt-tripping. This guy is sinking deeper and deeper into shame in the annals of history. How much deeper will he sink?

Bill Clinton has insulted every true-blue American with these comments. He should apologize to each and every American immediately.
