Yes... a lie by Clinton elicted a liberal shrug of the shoulders but a lie by Bush means a constitutional crisis of the first order. Gee, I wonder why...

Hmmm, yes, I wonder why you ignorant asshole... let's see... did Clinton's lie end up with over 1700 US dead and 100,000 Iraqi's dead? In fact, the only life lost was the potential life in his sperm. I suppose I shouldn't bring that up as it's something you freepers would attack him next on - for killing those potential lives by not actually impregnating Lewinski.

I need coffee. :mad:

1. It's very sad, but very simple (as are freepers)...

Rightwingnuts are the stupidest MFers on the planet.

And they prove it every single day.

[Conker]

5. So true.

Their ignorance makes me so angry.
:banghead:

[liberal N proud]

That has been my experience with the repukes.

[nickgutierrez]

2. Next to Bush, Clinton's transgressions look downright quaint

In seven years, this country went from "Prez gets a BJ, America in chaos!" to "3000 killed in terrorist attack, unjustified war, and torture". You tell me what's worse.

[Conker]

3. Bush's lie is so much worse that you can't compare the two lies.

[AuntiBush]

4. For Pete's Sake: No One Buys into the "It's All Clinton's Fault" Anymore.

FReepers need to get attached to reality. Their Chimp is in charge, 5 plus years now. Are they saying the Almight-Mr.-Superpower has no power at all!?!

:crazy:

[helderheid]

7. I can't believe the guy's logic

Well, gee! They didn't get too upset when Clinton lied and now they are having a hissy fit because Bush did! What gives??

He even ADMITS Bush lied us into war but his bitch is that we didn't get as upset over a FUCKING BLOW JOB that got Clinton IMPEACHED.

AAAAGGGHHHH!!!

20. Empires make their own reality

Supporters of the emperor buy into it.

6. With all that is happening in the world

these are the people who still profess extreme outrage (and titillation) over a stained blue dress.
Forget them. They're not worth our time.

[donco6]

8. That's because one sexual sin . . .

. . . is worth - oh - 1,700 regular sins.

In Fundieland, anyway.

[helderheid]

9. 1700 american

100,000 + Iraqi - God only knows how many more.

[donco6]

14. Yes, no slight on them intended.

It's just that most Amurikans don't diffentiate between Iraqis and "insurgents." "We killed 20 insurgents today," reads the news, when in reality all we know is there were 20 dead bodies shoveled into some hole somewhere.

[GiovanniC]

16. The Correllary Is That To Real Merikans,

"Towel-heads" and "camel-jockeys" don't count.

[Auntie Bush]

10. Huh? Clinton was impeached and bush* is still strutting around

"a lie by Clinton elected a liberal shrug of the shoulders but a lie by Bush means a constitutional crisis of the first order."

[Karmakaze]

11. Talk about stupid..

By taking this stance, this dumbarse freeper has just opened up the comparison between the two episodes.

From their point of view:

Clinton lied about having an extra-marital affair while in office, causing a Constitutional crisis, and the Liberals just shrugged and said it was just a blowjob.

From our point of view:

Bush lied by publicising phony intelligence, leading to an illegal war that has killed over a hundred thousand (and counting) thus comitting war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity, and the Conservatives just shrug and say it's a "War On Terror".

Hmm blowjob vs war crimes?

Acting like a fool, or Hitler?

Which do you think is worse? What do you think the average person thinks is worse?

[hemp_not_war]

12. haha

not only did they admit Bush lied for war, but they said Newt is trying to censure Durbin. Sounds good to me, Bush is going down.

[Tamyrlin79]

13. Look, both told lies to congress...

And if you base it on that standard then, yes, both deserved to be impeached.

The difference is this: Bush lied on a matter of war, a power that is explicitly reserved to the Congress, while Clinton lied about a personal, private matter in response to a question that Congress had no business asking in the first place. Show me where in the constitution Congress is given the power to ask about and regulate the president's personal life and I'll support the equivalency fo the two situations. But, seeing as how that is not the case, then the only person who had any right to inquire into Bill's affair was Hillary Clinton. Now, if there were allegations of sexual harrassment, that would be another thing, too. But, such allegations were up to Lewinsky to charge, which she never did. Thus, no congressional investigation was warranted.

This is essentially why 60% of the public opposed Bill's impeachment, because congress was threatening impeachment for something it had no right inquiring about and for something that was a FAR cry from "high crimes". Now, Bush, on the other hand...

[Stirk]

15. So they're admitting Bush lied then?

Good. They can shrug their shoulders all day and we'll call it even. Now somebody get in touch with the Hague.

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Yep! Says so right there in black and white!!!

No doubt about it or any other way to spin it!

21. they are such lovely people (sarcasm)

"I am in the camp that believes that the US should have active war plans to invade pretty much every country including allies. If one of our allies gets taken over by a hostile force we had better be able to act fast and invade to throw out the enemy. You never want to start planning when you are in the heat of battle. Your plans should be in place and solid. Once the fighting starts to adjust to the ever changing conditions. To not have any plans is foolish and only a democrat, an anti-war activist or peace-nik could think this the wisest course?"
