WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Ok, so a Hannity-loving friend of mine decides to bring up Clinton today. He said that President Clinton said "we can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans". So, I google it and find that it was a quote. But, I can't find the context. It was said in 1993. Somebody, tell me what the context was, there is no way that this is the whole quote.

2. I'm working on him.

I won't abandon him, we've been best friends for fifteen years! We just NEVER talk politics when drinking. I typically works pretty well.

8. THis has come up before...

and I don't believe that quote gives the full context. I don't have time to find the whole thing now; perhaps later. As I recall, this omission of some of the context is a repeated and deliberate attempt to smear Clinton.

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum

If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

3. The subject line of a discussion thread may not include profanity or swear words, even if words or letters are replaced by asterisks, dashes, or abbreviations.

4. The subject line and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation.
