19. Taliban was founded only in 1994

By tracing everyone to their ancestors, we can trace just about anyone who is a Muslim to Mohammed. Taliban was created only in 1994 and Bill Clinton was responsible for it.

If we start spinning facts just so we can live in a fantasy that Bill Clinton was a clean pacifist and only Republicans are to blame for everything, we would then end up with similar arguments to like Clinton to KKK simply because Southern Democrats were part of KKK. Let us not get into that but be honest and admit that Clinton was responsible for creating the Taliban.
