Bubba gets testy

Here’s the clip:
Dean Barnett takes a good swing at it, for a Sox fan.
In the YouTube above, Clinton conflates the attacks on General David Petraeus with the former POTUS’ fanciful reminisces of political attacks on John Kerry and Max Cleland. Normally, I question Bill Clinton’s sincerity any time his lips are moving, but in this clip he shows that little flash of indignant anger that indicates you’re getting a glimpse at the man’s core.
Of course he would see no difference between a couple of office-seekers and a man who is leading 160,000 American soldiers in combat. Everything for this man has always been about politics. The notion of a figure who transcends politics probably makes as much sense to Bill Clinton as the idea of a man who transcends gravity.
Exactly so. Not to mention the fact that the Swifties were themselves smeared by Kerry and his Winter Soldier ilk in 1971 and forever thereafter as savages who reminded him of Jenjis Khan. And never mind the fact that their stories about Kerry remain unrefuted, and Lurch still hasn’t released his records.
The MoveOn attack on Petraeus ought to disgust every American who respects the military. Having served in the military during Clinton’s tenure, I’m not surprised in the least that the “Betray Us” attack did not disgust Wild Bill.

Thanks for the clip Bryan. He is the person in the world I dislike the most. He is trying to compare apples to oranges, and screw the facts.
His anger/temper is legendary among those that have worked for him. What a smug self righteous turd.
I can’t fathom the thought of his wife in office. I really hope those holding all the dirt on these two is waiting for the right time to let it all fly.

Let’s paraphrase ol’ Slackjaw:
“I loathe the military; therefore, there is nothing wrong with what Moveon.org did.”
That’s ol’ Slackjaw, in a nutshell.
But, remember - he’s married to Hillary Clinton, and that is a level of hell never contemplated by Dante. So, as always, justice does prevail.
OhEssYouCowboys on September 27, 2007 at 3:56 PM
You want to get down in the mud Bubba? Try this on for size. Cleland was a wet behind the ears 2nd LT who lost his limbs when a grneade he was carrying was not properly attached thereby falling between his legs and causing the injuries he sustained. Maybe Slick Willie can tell me who MSG Shugart and SRC Gordon are. Hint think Blackhawk Down.
As for Kerry, here is a soldier who got his 3 Purple Hearts the old fashioned way, you know actually getting shot. He didn’t leave the battlefield or his buddies.
So let’s get it on Bubba.

Remember when redneck was supposed to be offensive. It made a millionaire out of Jeff Foxworthy and lost every bit of sting as a derogatory word in the process. You can only be offended if you want to be. I have reread the Constitution several times and I still have not found the part that says I have a right to not be offended.

Whoa, not too happy with the lay of the land is he. I guess all the Soros money and help he was counting on to elect Hillary is running into a tiny bit of, oh, umm, sunlight. Sunlight is the disinfectant for Democrats.
Looks like Soros has his hands and money in a lot of places, anyone figure out how you give $720,000 to a NASA employee who is shilling globull warming and no one says anything? Inquiring minds want to know. I understand the Tides foundation, you know who funds them, also threw $250,000 at NASA’s Hansen. Interesting.

Gotcha. But I think just your constitutional rights are in the Constitution. You have other rights by virtue of other laws. And hate crime laws, which I don’t think are a great idea, do seem to have something to do with a crime plus something else, like an offensive remark.

By their own standards, the swifties were allowed to take swipes. They wore the uniform too. But hey, it’s okay to go after men who wore the uniform if they go after men who wore the uniform because they are democrats.
It’s all in the telling, folks. Outrage over Osama being used in an ad going after Cleland, silence in Osama being used in an ad in Iowa that was bought and paid for by a democrat.

Not this time. Clinton knows Kerry is a big-time loser. This was just part of the standard repertoire.
Now that the two Clintons have signed up smear Petreus, is it ok to question their patriotism? Cause I think they would sell this country to anyone willing to make a $1000 donation.

Cleland Served in Vietnam and suffered a sever non-combat injury and we thank him for his Service. Other than that, he’s just another liberal that deserved the criticism he received during the campaign. Kerry wasn’t in Vietnam long enough to qualify for R&R. He spent 4 months in country mining for bogus medals then trotted his butt back to the States. He’s as phony as a $3 bill and both his contemporaries and superiors knew it. On the other hand,neither were draft dodgers like their buddy Bill.
rplat on September 27, 2007 at 4:35 PM
I always note that point when his voice reaches that growling whisper. Happened in the Fox Interview too. I can tell that he’s never shown past that point on camera, but I’m positive that once he goes past it, you find the rapist of Juanita Broaddrick.

B26354 on September 27, 2007 at 4:46 PM
So the two examples cited by Clinton in the clip above are supposed to be on the same level (or worse than) the “BetrayUs” ad?
That’s what he’s implying - are those the two best examples he can come up with? Kerry’s fellow vets - eyewitnesses he never has refuted - and an ad that attacked Cleland with nothing more than his own voting record in the Senate? Pathetic!
He would have found much better examples in the actions of his own despicable party.
How about we ask Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito (and Mrs. Alito - they made her cry, remember?), Tom Delay…uh, who else - oh yeah! Scooter Libby, President Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, John Bolton….

Gregor on September 27, 2007 at 4:46 PM
I’m sitting here getting pissed. Notice how Clinton, and now that I think of it, all the liberals who complain about how unfair the Cleland ad was, always frame it in terms of, “Showing that ad, with Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein,” leaving the impression that it was COMPARING Cleland with those two? When it does nothing of the sort? But the way they frame it, they can leave that impression without being caught in an out and out lie. Disgusting.
And they also always say, “Swift Boat Veterans.” Never “Swift Vets and POWs for Truth.” Wouldn’t want to remind people that POWs and great American heroes like Bud Day also though Kerry was a slimy little douchebag.

She’s right, if you think about it.

Sorry, Sox, this is totally feigned anger. He knows the Swifties weren’t fakes. I’d bet he’s well aware of the subtleties in the Cleland ad. He was angry at Chris Wallace, but the finger-pointing there was just one-upsman posturing. But people fall for his drama, so he’ll keep at it.

Bill Clinton calls the Swiftboat Veterans (including a Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient) “ignorant and blatant liars” for the ‘nth time. And in the same breath, he accuses Republicans of being the only people in the world who ever had the incredible bad taste to criticize a critic…
Of course that is not why Bill Clinton is throwing a temper tantrum.
The reason he’s losing it is because he’s looking at polls showing that most people believe our attacks against what moonbats call “patriotism” are fully JUSTIFIED, and he can no longer publically separate himself from the traitors.
With liberals, everything is always about money, and any attempt to get between the Clintons and Moveon.org hits them where they live and breathe.

Second, how many votes come from the so-called-media? The next election, like all the ones in the last years, will be decided by the middle. No way, no way are they blind to what is happening, and no way are they self-destructive.

Histrionic personality disorder
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually beginning in early adulthood.
“The essential feature of the histrionic personality disorder is a pervasive and excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others.”
