Sheehan: Clinton Killed More Iraqis Than Bush
Amazing…
Ronan: Did you feel that the Foreign Minister gave you a fair hearing?
Cindy: Yes, I think so. He had a little dossier on me, very well researched; he’s in a very difficult position; you know, I think he’s probably a good man struggling to do the right thing for Ireland. But he has to be convinced that what he’s doing or allowing to happen in Shannon is the wrong thing for Ireland and, really, for the world.
And about Bill Clinton . . . . You know, I really think he should have been impeached, but not for a blow job. His policies are responsible for killing more Iraqis that George Bush. I don’t understand why to rise to the level of being president of my country one has to be a monster. I used to say that George Bush was defiling the Oval Office, but it’s been held by a long line of monsters. We don’t have to support our administrations to love our country. True patriots of my country dissent when our country’s doing something so wrong.
Don’t expect that comment about Clinton to get much coverage in American newspapers. They’ll run every nasty thing Cindy has to say about Bush, but Clinton is off-limits to our liberal media.
The nuttiness doesn’t stop there:
Ronan: Samuel Johnson said in his Dictionary: “Patriotism is that last refuge of a scoundrel.”
Cindy: Exactly! That’s what they try to do! They hold the flag with one hand, and the hold shining keys with the other hand to distract us, and really, loyalty to symbols is false patriotism. Loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy is what makes a true patriot, not loyalty to a symbol of the country.
Ronan: Thank you, Cindy Sheehan, for bearing witness to the truth.
If Cindy is all about showing “loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy” then what is she doing cuddling up to Communist apologist Hugo Chavez? A man who few would describe as a friend to civil liberties.
I think that Cindy’s feelings, like most of her far-left brethern, are predicated more on hating George Bush than any real sense of defending freedom and democracy. Otherwise they wouldn’t be fighting so hard against spreading those ideals to a region – the middle east – that has long been without them.
Read the whole, wacky thing.
Uh, no. Not even close. Re-read the first three comments and try again.
Here, I’ll help you out:
Me: If Bill “I Feel Your Pain” Clinton doesn’t pass muster with her, would anyone?
Dave: I imagine she’d be satisfied with a more liberal Democrat, probably in the Sharpton/Kucinich/Sanders mold.
Me: In other words, a Hugo Chavez-type, without the accent and with more “nuance”.
Read “without the accent” as “not South American” and “with more ‘nuance’” as “not likely to brutally repress or kill them if they say something he doesn’t like”.
If you equate the above exchange as me saying “anyone to the left of Clinton is a Communist”, well… what can I say? Try harder?
Are you calling anyone to the left of Clinton a Communist?
Actually, Newsweek had the story wrapped up. They decided to cover it up, not run it.
Someone at Newsweek leaked it to Matt Drudge and the rest is HISTORY!
They also never reported on the Whitewater Scandel.
They never reported on the Clinton fundraising scandals, especially Chinese Money going into his campaign coffers.
They never covered Al Gore raising money from Chinese Nuns IN A CHURCH. (Illegal).
I’m sure I’m missing many many items….
Man, that post truly takes the cake.
Robert, is it the acid gettin’ to ya? The Peyote?
Get some help, dude.
I’m fair-minded and non-partisan enough to say she’s completely wrong about Bush and Clinton.
And gullible enough to believe anything the Iraqi ministries under Hussein said about sanctions damage.
(And, well, if she opposes sanctions, I guess that means she either favours war, or simply letting dictators do whatever the hell they want?)
Dave: Clinton masquerades as conservative to get elected. He is a liar and a cheat, and is not to be believed.
In the 1992 Democratic Primary, which Democratic candidates were more conservative than Clinton?
In other words, a Hugo Chavez-type, without the accent and with more “nuance”. Not going to happen in this country. Thankfully. Clinton was her best shot.

Good God, were you asleep during the late ’90’s? Do you remember the “liberal media” reporting the Clinton Blowjob story on page A23, and cable TV not running it 24/7?
Me either. Get a freakin’ grip.
I’m not so sure, robert. A lot of Clinton’s major victories were on center-right legislation, particularly economic–like Welfare reform, NAFTA, Telecom reform–as well as several domestic issues, like DOMA, AEDPA, the Communications Decency Act. He did have some solidly left-wing causes (failed healthcare reform, first-term tax increases, Brady Bill, etc.), but he was hardly a liberal Democrat. He’s to Democrats what John McCain is to Republicans.
I don’t know. She thinks Bush is a “monster”, she thinks Clinton is a “monster”. Beyond that, she implies that the U.S. has had a “monster” in power for a long time (“…but it’s been held by a long line of monsters”).
Could it be that, unlike most Bush-haters, she is really an anarchist at heart? If Bill “I Feel Your Pain” Clinton doesn’t pass muster with her, would anyone?
Dave says, A lot of Clinton’s major victories were on center-right legislation, particularly economic–like Welfare reform…
You’re referring to the Republican welfare reform bill that Clinton vetoed twice, once in December 1995 and again in January 1996, before passing it in August of ‘96. Clinton only signed on when Dick Morris convinced him that he needed it to win reelection. Hardly one of “Clinton’s major victories” in any sense of the phrase.
robert108 was right. Clinton is a snake who holds little in the way of core beliefs. Polls guided many of his actions while in office.
Precisely.
Dave: I don’t agree with you on your comparison. Most of the so-called centrist legislation was forced on him by the new Republican congress. Before then, he attempted to hijack every business in the US with his(and Hillary’s) healthcare program. Hardly centrist. Welfare reform was originally proposed by the Republicans, but the MSM gave Clinton the credit because he signed the bill.
Dave: Calling Clinton “conservative” in any way just shows how ignorant you are about what conservatism really is.
mcair: Your ignorance and delusion is truly breathtaking. Ever hear of Charlie Tree?
Seeing as he was one of the most conservative Democratic politicians of all time, I imagine she’d be satisfied with a more liberal Democrat, probably in the Sharpton/Kucinich/Sanders mold.
TW: Good call. The Lewinsky lie was the MSM helping Clinton cover up the real scandals, like the illegal campaign contributions, and trying to convince the American public it was all about blowjobs. That mythology continues to this day with the lefties. Clinton was impeached because he was a criminal, not because he sexually harrassed an intern.
Likwidshoe:
Yep. That pretty much sums Bill up.
Clinton always did great at fighting back when being attacked, but was lost as a goose the rest of the time.
Welcome back by the way.
