alan keyes, condi rice, and the rest of the cheney gang were as evil as they come. If they aren't evil, then who is?

6. Well, now,
I think Clinton has a different definition of evil than some of us. If you kill innocent people with bombs in order to get revenge, or to make money, that seems pretty evil. If you intentionally lie about your opposing candidate, telling bigoted people that he has an illegitimate black child, that seems pretty evil. On the Nixon tapes you can hear tricky Dick say to Kissinger: The only difference between us is that you care about the innocent people we are killing in Cambodia. And Kissinger says, I only care because I don't want you to look evil. Well, they are evil. And they might even know it, since they were actively covering it up. Health care, welfare, pollution, etc...... I'm not sure what Clinton would call evil. Knowingly killing innocent people, lying, covering up, stealing money from the poor for your rich friends, making outrageously false claims purely for selfish reasons, and so on, seem pretty evil to me. Was Hitler evil? If so, then so was Nixon, Kissinger, and W.

7. Thank you! I saw Clinton on Charley
Rose talking about his book and he really did seem to go out of his
way to be extra nice to his adversaries.

I think in his position as a former President it serves him well to not only.. not be mean spirited but to be extra-specially kind.

At least I was impressed. But I still ain't buyin' that "nobody is evil" shyte.

8. He didn't say that Bush wasn't evil, he said republicans
I think Bill was speaking about Bushco supporters, not the BFEE.

I thought that he was brilliant, Clinton always delievers.

That is why he is the Big Dawg.

:kick:

10. All that is necessary
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)

11. I think you misspelled "clinton"
for you I think the right spelling would be "Klintoon"...

and no he never said "there ain't no such thing as evil"...typical rw tactic, taking up something a person said, spinning and twisting it, and then attributing it to the person who said it as a fact...
