Why are right wing conspiracies always vast?
Can’t they be small, or medium sized?
jjrakman on September 27, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Yes, I know I’m sorry. I couldn’t hep masef.
katy on September 27, 2009 at 11:33 PM
That dumb-ass reporter should know this and he should have hammered Clinton about it. Hillary knew the Lewinsky charges were true when she used the VRWC. The press should never let Bill or Hillary get away with using that term.
hepcat on September 27, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Could it be that Greg thinks he has great and VAST influence with the sheeple…?
These people are using the same mantra that held water decades ago…they can’t change…
It’s laughable…I am genuinely embarrassed for them…
jerrytbg on September 27, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Merkel has won in Germany with enough margin to dump the Social Democrats. Conspiracy THAT, biatch.
crosspatch on September 27, 2009 at 11:45 PM
Bill Clinton is morphing into a nasty, unfunny version W.C. Fields in his dotage.
Travis Bickle on September 27, 2009 at 11:46 PM
The thing missing from poor Bill and poor Hussein’s explanation for their abject failure…is that they have no precedent to show they are right.
These wonderful “progressives” keep selling old, failed, useless ideas as if such will work “this time”. With a failure rate of near 100%, why would anyone believe them? I do mean sentient beings, of course.
Maybbe that someone should ask Slick where his socialist ideas have been successful, and if they have, why will he not sign up?
If everything is going to improve on healthcare, how could a leech such as Pelosi not sign up?
Why not?
Why not?
Harry Schell on September 27, 2009 at 11:50 PM
I believe the correct response to “Is there a vast right-wing conspiracy?” is: I WISH!
Mojave Mark on September 27, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Proud member of the R-VRWC! He forgot to add racist!
libertylady on September 27, 2009 at 11:51 PM
If the libs are even losing Europe, maybe they should get a clue. First the European Parliament and the UK council elections swing right, now Germany’s parliamentary elections, and the Conservative Party is poised to gain control of the UK Parliament this winter.
Liberals are losing ground everywhere. It isn’t just here in the US.
crosspatch on September 27, 2009 at 11:55 PM
They haven’t taken on the gun lobby yet. It’s just a matter of time. On a side note, I think the bags under his eyes get more and more pronounced every time I see him. Maybe he should consider botox….or full-blown plastic surgery….
Livefreeordie on September 27, 2009 at 11:55 PM
Former President Clinton obviously hasn’t been the same since his heart bypass operation a few years ago. Shortly after the operation there was speculation that he was suffering from “pump head’, a cognitive impairment stemming from the procedure and the effect of machines used as part of the procedure. Is there a cardiac surgeon out there that can comment on the likelihood that he is suffering from this impairment?
Mason on September 28, 2009 at 12:02 AM
Oh, and there’s this from The Times of London:
So the SPD (sort of the German equivalent of our Democrats) did the worst since WWII. I tell ya, the libs are losing Europe. Even Sweden has decided lower taxes to spur business development. The whole continent of Europe is moving right.
Must be a pretty big conspiracy.
Currently in Europe it is “uncool” to be a leftist. What are our Democrats going to do when their positions are laughed at by the Europeans?
crosspatch on September 28, 2009 at 12:03 AM
They were advertising a few months back for new interns. I guess Bill used up all the old ones.
unclesmrgol on September 28, 2009 at 12:05 AM
The victim card is now in play. And, if a VRWC truly exists, it calls into question liberals’ notions about what’s best for the country. But, too, since the Dems are in charge of the country, the ‘conspiracy’ can’t be all that vast, can it?
Seems the term itself is self-defeating for liberals; they look bad no matter what.

LASue on September 28, 2009 at 12:08 AM
Vast right-wing conspiracy ? Did Billy Boy spooge on some homely groupy’s blue dress again? And the Blew Dress Media still isn’t calling him on it.
LA Conservative on September 28, 2009 at 12:11 AM
We have received yet another reminder that Bill Clinton is a pathetic partisan liar.
Phil Byler on September 28, 2009 at 12:17 AM
And why always a “wing”? I prefer a leg or a breast.
SouthernGent on September 28, 2009 at 12:19 AM
Wasn’t it just 4? I mean it was tied in the senate for the first 2 years of Bush’s first term and the dems took over congress in 2006. Plus even during those 4 years they only had small majorities so the dems still wielded alot of power.(Unlike now where they not only control all branches but have large enough majorities that the pubs don’t wield any power.) Oh I’m sorry I forgot. It’s Billy Jeff, no way any journalist is going to do anything like you know, point out it’s not true or question him on it. (I know, the last one to make that mistake got yelled at by him as he lied about stuff.)
Dave_d on September 28, 2009 at 12:19 AM
I seem to be a party of one so far but I think he was zinging Obama more than anything. He is giving all the power to Republicans for bringing down his numbers, when he knows full well it is not really that. I compared this to his Fairy tale speech and I still think he loathes the guy.
He could have spent the time focusing on all the weaknesses of the Republicans but he is almost saying they are diminished and still effectively bringing him down. There was something about his whole demeanor that made me think he was enjoying that.
msmveritas on September 28, 2009 at 12:22 AM
hbj, katy…
It’s Bill Clinton. A second opinion is called for on any cutaneous anomalies.
Just sayin.
soundingboard on September 28, 2009 at 12:24 AM
If by Vast Right Wing conspiracy you mean a lot of decent people trying to make and keep things right… yeah, it still exists as it did then and now.
Who’s side are these guys on? That’s an easy question to answer. Now who’s side do these guys think they’re on?… That’s a question I’d like answered.
Chaz706 on September 28, 2009 at 12:26 AM
Once a pinhead always a pinhead. Clinton should just shut up and go on another blowjob tour.
Spiritk9 on September 28, 2009 at 12:26 AM
Oh, and I guess WJDC did get the memo from MiniTru that the phrase “vast right wing conspiracy” has been memory holed and replaced by the simpler: Raaaaacist!
soundingboard on September 28, 2009 at 12:29 AM
Second opinion coming right up….

“We need a credible debate about continuing to expand the economy through stimulus.”
WHAT? The economy is expanding? Since when?
JamesB on September 28, 2009 at 12:32 AM
I can’t believe they are recycling the vast right-wing conspiracy again, democrat rule is becoming even more lame, I guess anything to avoid talking about JOBS.
Dollayo on September 28, 2009 at 12:33 AM
Clinton gave the game away *twice* in this short clip. Conservatives won’t have the same impact today as they did in the early ’90s because “the country is more diverse” and “the demographics have shifted” — Clinton’s own words.
In 1990, the white population of the US was roughly 75%; today it’s 66%. Democrats, along with hapless Republicans, have flooded the country with Hispanic and non-white immigrants, diluting the power of white Americans — the most conservative of the country’s demographic groups.
It isn’t enough for Republicans to oppose attempts at amnesty; they need to roll back the 1965 Immigration Act, or their power will continue to erode. Clinton is astute enough to understand that the immigration laws have been working in his favor.
tommy shanks on September 28, 2009 at 12:39 AM
Same old playbook. First, all problems were Bush’s fault. Then came the notion teapartyers are domestic terrorists, followed by racism motivating the opposition. Now it’s the victim card. Next might be Christians are leading the opposition, and God knows what it might be after that. Maybe they’ll retry the race card later on, prefaced by the accusation of a ‘mean-spirited’ opposition. Big Oil could be used, or maybe Big Macs if they push a fat tax or something.
All the time, Dems keep looking more and more silly, but they won’t go beyond their playbook because they can’t fully defend liberalism to a free people. That’s a sure loser for them, to identify what they really believe and want to impose.
Liam on September 28, 2009 at 12:44 AM
AN A TO Z OF THE CLINTON PRESIDENCY
“You might want to put some ice on that….”
Seven Percent Solution on September 28, 2009 at 12:49 AM
I agree; it’s totally unproven as to just how “vast” this conspiracy is. It’s vastness, while apparently so dramatically vast as to require such a descriptor to reflect its vastitude- has yet to be proven whatsoever to even be “minute”- the direct opposite of what one would think it would be to be “VAST”.
So, again, I agree. It’s not in the “Right Wing Conspiracy” where we find the importance of what’s “really going on”- but rather in this clearly unscientific and entirely conjecture-based use of the word “vast” that is at the very, pulpy, beating heart of this entire issue.
ChipDWood on September 28, 2009 at 12:53 AM
I noticed that too. He also gave away the Dems plan to take on the gun lobby in the last few seconds of the clip. They just can’t help themselves while in the throngs of power.
Loose lips….
katy on September 28, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Al Gore told Bill to Recycle. Bill stole hill’s old line and did his duty for Global Warming. Why don’t those VAST Right Wing Extremists accept the “truth”? Flat earthers that do not believe the “truth” are treasonous! I got that straight from a Kennedy! I saw it on NBC news even./is the tag needed?
IowaWoman on September 28, 2009 at 1:04 AM
Me thinks,Predator-In-Chief,is all We Weeded Up on sumpin,
and I think he’s a tad confused on the VRWC,its the Vast
Left Wing Conspiracy Cabal is the one to really worry about
that is attempting to transform America that Bill Clinton
will never recognize!!!
And since Bill and Hill are Liberals,who seem to be okay
at the Present direction at which Obama at the helm is
steering America to Socialism,they seems content at still
blameing the Republicans for their opposition to the current
direction,and are willing to stay on the political sidelines
and allow their own Politcal Party to keep sliding down into
the cesspool!!!
Maybe re-create 68,the civil-war battle within the DNC,shou
ld of happened,and at least,then,the outcome between HilRod
and ObamaVoterBot factions could have hammered out which dir
ection America could possible go,from a Liberal policy stand
point!!
At least,American voters would of had a heads up!!
Maybe then,if Clintons won the Primaries,it would of been,
Socialism Light,but then again,according to them,the so-call
ed VRWC was in play!!!!!!!!!!!
canopfor on September 28, 2009 at 1:39 AM
If Obama-nation believes his utterances, then they are not technically lies. They are the deluded ravings of a madman, which makes slick Willie the smoothest liar we ever had as a President.
Slowburn on September 28, 2009 at 1:45 AM
Is it just me or does Clinton look more and more like W.C. Fields?
Winebabe on September 28, 2009 at 2:13 AM
I find it interesting that not just Bill, but the Left is pushing this line that Conservatives are shrinking because the country is becoming more diverse.
Quite a lot of unsaid insinuations and conotations there. Code words.
He made sure to push it at least twice in his little chit chat.
He also was pushing this overseas.
I find the whole thing fascinating. The deliberate push for mass immigration to disempower the indigenous populations of European and Anglo nations.
That looks like its going to turn out really badly as a strategy in Europe.
Have you no shame, fostering tribalism and resentment and villifying groups of people in this fashion?
How twisted and sick is the Western Left?
I have only yet begun to plumb the depths of their twisted malicious perfidy.
EscapeVelocity on September 28, 2009 at 2:13 AM
perfidy. treachery. love ya.
Cornhusker on September 28, 2009 at 2:20 AM
Bill Clinton to Roman Polanski………
Seven Percent Solution on September 28, 2009 at 2:56 AM
Bill Clinton: a sorry corn dog embittered by obsessions, fears and needs he’ll never meet.
Lourdes on September 28, 2009 at 3:03 AM
I agree, on speculation. One wonders just how it is that Bill Clinton’s mind became quite so awfully affected as this.
But, by comparison with Obama, Bill Clinton is a paragon of virtue and that’s saying quite a lot.
Lourdes on September 28, 2009 at 3:06 AM
At least Bill Clinton can write his own material and recite it without dependency on a reading performance such as Obama’s ongoing limitations.
Just what, exactly, though, has so affected the Leftwing in the U.S. that they are quite so Leftwing as they are today? It’s as if they all had bad acid trips way back when and just never “came down”.
Lourdes on September 28, 2009 at 3:07 AM
Well, actually, I think Barack Obama has surpassed Bill in the lying-smooth-talker area. OR, Obama just does not KNOW he’s lying but is lying. I don’t know which is worse — they’re both awful characteristics/behaviors to witness in anyone in the Presidency (or any branch of government).
Lourdes on September 28, 2009 at 3:09 AM
Have they run out of other degrading things to say about us or labels to slap on us that they have come full circle to rehash an oldie?
I guess so.
madmonkphotog on September 28, 2009 at 3:31 AM
So this dirtbag can see a vast right wing conspiracy, but could never see the islamic cospiracy even after the first WTC bombing, USS Cole bombing, African Embassies bombings,muslim terrorists killing and blowing blowing ppl in Isreal, India, Thailand, etc, thru the rise of Taliban and AlQaeda in Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan and Brooklyn ?
Why does no one ask him about why he not only stopped the capture and killing of binladen, but also leaked this info to the royalty of Dubai and Saudi Arabia ?
What a Chavez .
macncheez on September 28, 2009 at 4:32 AM
I will employ all of my acumen and dedication to polite and diplomatic debate to merely express my humble opinion that you are full of crud, Mister Clinton.
Come on baby set my pants on fire!
I can take my lying, highaaaaaaaa!
One simple rhetorical weapon the illiberals are using is the good ole repeat it until they believe it tool of the trade.
Global Warming, Global Warming and Climate Change and Climate Change . . . .
I have not the words to describe this blackguard and popinjay and martinet and scoundrel and cochon! (I got this last word out of a book called Brethren of the Coast–Don`t really know what it means, but I think it applies to Clinton pretty well.)
Why does the guy always look like he just came from a trip to the Red Planet?
Enquiring minds want to know . . . .
That particular paper is turning into the truth while virtually all of the others are turning into lies. Have turned into lies.
It`s a kind of weird America can do without . . . .
Sherman1864 on September 28, 2009 at 4:33 AM
BLAME BILL
“From 1993 to 2001, Islamic terrorists attacked American targets 10 times, and each time Mr. Clinton stood before the American people and said he would use all means to bring those responsible to justice. Unfortunately for the United States, Mr. Clinton never brought anyone to justice. The majority of the responsibility (for 9/11) should be placed squarely on the shoulders of President Clinton.”
Lourdes on September 28, 2009 at 5:07 AM
Credible debate? Hahahahahahaha! That is code for “Acquiesce to my way of thinking” and we’ll get along just fine.

ncborn on September 28, 2009 at 5:47 AM
President Clinton, was it the vast right winged conspiracy that stained the drapes, carpet and furniture in “the peoples house, (W.H),like you did that blue dress?
Jeff from WI on September 28, 2009 at 5:55 AM
You see, the pathological liar that believes his own lies,continues to believe “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” Someone forgot to tell him he is (thus far) the only US President to be Impeached.

Terrye on September 28, 2009 at 6:43 AM
Of course we’re out to get ya, Bill.
Mr. D on September 28, 2009 at 6:46 AM
Ugh! Are we going here again? How’d that VRWC work the last time? At least we know they are truly desperate and have no other logic lines with which to fight.
Alden Pyle on September 28, 2009 at 6:56 AM
Sadly, Bill Clinton understands the ramifications of mass immigration better than most conservatives do.
2Brave2Bscared on September 28, 2009 at 7:12 AM

Life was so much simpler for you before that Blue Dress wasn’t it?

Oh please!!! How about the vast left-winged conspiracy?
yoda on September 28, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Democrats are at the bottom of the barrel. The race card, the vast right wing conspiracy.
There’s not much left.
drjohn on September 28, 2009 at 7:27 AM
Hmmm funny thing how the “RWC” had him and old Hil pegged and were correct after all. And we’re still paying the price for the Clinton corruption today.
mozalf on September 28, 2009 at 7:38 AM
How does allowing Barack Obama to be elected president fit into the right wing’s vast conspiracy? I just want to make sure I’m connecting all the dots. His election was part of the plan, right? Gosh, I know there’s some magnificent genius here by the conspiracy. Just can’t put my finger on it though…
Rational Thought on September 28, 2009 at 7:42 AM
Immigration, legal or illegal is like being in a boat that’s leaking. It’ll eventually sink this country with a bunch of people nobody wants here.
Jeff from WI on September 28, 2009 at 7:42 AM
Second President to be impeached. Andrew Johnson, best known for his drunken scene when inagurated as VP under Lincoln, was the first. Nixon would have been impeached and removed from office had he not resigned.
highhopes on September 28, 2009 at 7:51 AM
Bill Clinton is the stereotype of a politician. Irresponsible, slick talker, wholly dishonest.
4shoes on September 28, 2009 at 7:51 AM
I guess if given the choice over being called a “racist” or a member of the VRWC, most folks would prefer to be a member of the VRWC.
But with Rasmussen showing support for “The Won”-s Health Care Plan (that amorphous POS) falling to 41% Favor 56% Oppose, I guess they need a new (old) boogeyman.
I suggest … they claim it’s more important to get the budget done .. a quietly walk away.
J_Crater on September 28, 2009 at 7:53 AM
Clinton, an old favorite of the ladies. They’d fall for his crap every time.
Jeff from WI on September 28, 2009 at 7:57 AM
I prefer the term neo-teabaggers.
highhopes on September 28, 2009 at 7:59 AM
Clinton & Carter American political jokes that won’t just die. They keep embarrassing our country.

I wish there WERE a “VAST right wing conspiracy”.
The right Needs one to counter the “VAST left wing” one.
The right is not that organized. Or that Evil.
bridgetown on September 28, 2009 at 8:16 AM
It’s like BIG Oil is evil. But you have to wonder, what about little or mid-sized oil…are they OK?
angryed on September 28, 2009 at 8:19 AM
Further proof that the Dems make terrible ex-presidents. Not surprising though. In general, Dems get a good coddling from the MSM, so they think that everything they say is wise and important, when, in fact, it’s usually not well thought out and mostly hyperpartisan ranting.
Clinton is so far gone that his ex-presidency will obliterate whatever good could come of his presidency over the course of time and history.
He’s turning into a bitter, bloated Al Gore type–another ex-president of sorts.
EMD on September 28, 2009 at 8:21 AM
Clintons = Irrelevant self serving folks that stole all they could and are no longer newsworthy.

bluegrass on September 28, 2009 at 8:54 AM
Interesting that Bill seems to get a lot more attention than his wife nowadays, even though she’s the one in the administration. She’s the one who should be relevant, not him. Men with character leave the office of the POTUS with class and don’t dredge up a lot of divisiveness. This makes him look like a bitter old man rather than a former leader.

Akzed on September 28, 2009 at 10:11 AM
The reason the “Right Wing” is so vast is because it contains the majority of the population, unlike the vocal left wing that is so much smaller that they must yell louder to be heard and given any sense of credibility.
The vocal left is a small side street on the road of life that everyone must visit, out of curiosity, and then renter the mainstream when their curiosity is fulfilled.
MSGTAS on September 28, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Bill Clinton lost his law license for how many years 5? because of a vast right wing conspiracy or because he committed Perjury? That’s like saying, The Devil Made Me Do It.
I remember who coined “The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” accusation. And she was forced to eat crow, when a non laundered blue cocktail dress surfaced. Does President Obama, really want to be related to or compared to this time period in the Clinton era? (There was proof of Lying)
This is dumb politics. I expect better from Bill Clinton unless he is trying to sabotage his wife’s rival or get even, for him being called a racist, during the Democrat Primaries. He does have a large ego and temper. That is one hot headed Hillbilly :) So either he is getting even or they have run out of ways to spin, and smear. They are going back to an old well, that they should have put the cover over, and piled dirt deep on. Monica Lewinsky, they want to remind people of Monica Lewinsky? The reason Bill Clinton was found guilty of Perjury. Joe Wilson just got done apologizing for calling President Obama a liar. They really want people connecting these kinds of similarities- dots btw Clinton and Obama? Really?
Dr Evil on September 28, 2009 at 10:35 AM
For Bubba, the vast right wing conspiracy is that Fox has all the hot chicks and he can’t get near ‘em. That’s the REAL conspiracy. He has to make do with Maddow.
Time to burn your jock strap come over to the conservative side, Bubba!
Mr_Magoo on September 28, 2009 at 10:35 AM
VRWC = a liberal lie. So, actually it is a VRWC.
Mangy Scot on September 28, 2009 at 12:29 PM
He is the first elected Pres. to be impeached. He has also been disbarred. He is a total windbag loser.
rjoco1 on September 28, 2009 at 12:29 PM
The Urban Dictionary has two definitions for cochon — one of which is “a cop in quebec, a montreal policeman especially” which would make no sense in this context.
However, the other offered definition is:
So, there you have it!
Trochilus on September 28, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Well, that comment was a gift from Bill. What Obama is going through is not remotely close to what the Clintons went through.

Billy Bob had his fifteen minutes of fame long ago… I think it was when he was dragged to the pen to sign welfare reform and then tried to take credit for doing something that was good for all of America.
-
Before and since he has had way more than his share of shame… So, nothing new in this fallacious oral presentation.
