Clinton Flack to Rush: Shut Up About Bin Laden Deal and Broaddrick Rape

Former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart angrily defended his old boss yesterday against a 1978 rape allegation and charges that he blew a deal for Osama bin Laden's arrest, after talk radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested the ex-president should be asked about the two scandals during upcoming appearances on CBS's "60 Minutes."
"Bill Clinton won't talk about the stuff the American people really want to know. He's not going to address Juanita Broaddrick or giving the North Koreans two nuclear reactors to play with or rejecting three offers to take custody of bin Laden," Limbaugh said yesterday.
Bristling over the remarks, Lockhart told the Washington Post that the nation's top rated radio talker should "keep his mouth shut."
The ex-press secretary then described Clinton's reported million-dollar "60 Minutes" contract as "just one way to continue being part of the public service system."
Clinton has never denied a rape allegation by Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick, who told the Wall Street Journal in Feb. 1999 that he brutally assaulted her in a Little Rock hotel room while he was Arkansas attorney general.
He was asked about Broaddrick's charges just once, in March 1999, and told ABC News reporter Sam Donaldson, "There's been a statement made by my attorney. He speaks for me. I think he spoke quite clearly."
No reporter has ever asked the ex-president about his Feb. 2002 confession that he personally turned down a deal for Osama bin Laden's extradition to the U.S. in 1996.
"We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start meeting with them again," Clinton told New York's Long Island Association. "They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America."
Hear the bombshell bin Laden admission that Clinton won't discuss on "60 Minutes."

Would it not be wonderful if we could get Bob Dole to sit out and have Rush show up to talk with the "pervert", and it be live.
Can you imagine the reaction of the "pervert" to have a live Rush in front of his lying face......

Love to hear Clinton getting "snippy about it".

NEVER FORGET
...So WHY do you think CLINTON is now suddenly going on Friend of WALTER CRONKITE's CBS-TV..?
1) CLINTON's making it possible for North Korea to have 2 Nuclear Reactors that threaten US now.
2) CLINTON's refusing 3-Free Offers to get a OSAMA bin LADEN during the 1990's that threatens US now.
BY DESIGN.
The Enemy is now Within...

This is going to be interesting! Monica's pleasured one fired the first salvo. I hope Rushbo goes to the mattresses. I wonder if he has the staying power to do that? Michael Savage says that Rush is too liberal for him and if I had a TV I would watch him tomorrow to see if any mention is made of this.

This is EXACTLY why NewsMax sucks and is an embarrassment to conservatives.
Lockhart did NOT say "Shut Up About Bin Laden Deal and Broaddrick Rape"
He OBVIOUSLY didn't mention the rape and neither did he mention bin Laden.
There is no need to embellish what these idiots are saying about Rush...The TRUTH (Something NewsMax is not too familiar with) is plenty. Leave the propaganda to the idiots on DUhhh.

If CBS wanted to be fair, they would put Rush up against Clinton. Now there's a fair fight. Well, maybe not quite fair, because we would win every time.
Putting Clinton up against Dole is like putting Tyson up against someone's old grandmother. CBS, your bias is showing.

I posted these Clinton quotes on another thread-these are from an interview he gave yesterday to an Australian radio show .It is mind boggling to think a former President and Commander in Chief would speak like this-truly,truly mind boggling.
" Somebody needs to, you know, tell us whether he's really disarming or not "
Does the POTUS count, dirtbag ?
" , if we have to go in there and kill a bunch of people..."
Spoken like a true Commander in Chief- Not!!!

Just like occurred with Clinton himself on many occassions ... we got a view into the soul of Lockhardt with his snap reply.
Underneath the smooth talk and showmanship ... lies abject tyranny and evil ... and not to far beneath the surface either IMHO.
Stay armed - Stay safe physically ...
Stay close to God - Stay safe spiritually.
It takes both.

"Rush says he is now going to dedicate the first part of his program to respond to what Clinton says on Sunday nights. He is going to start devoting the first part of his Monday show to countering what they say." I just heard him say it. I love it! Rush's audience will grow twice as big as it is now. Of course I would never listen to any program Clinton is on, and now no one else will have to either. They will know that if he said anything worth responding to, Rush will deal with it on his program. Hahahahaha

klintoon's tactics are the same as the guy that passes gas in an elevator.....just look amazed and start staring at the guy next to you.....if you can make him/her "act" guilty, then you're off the hook....bill and hill and all the dumocraps use this tactic everyday.....and not just in the elevator either.
