Bill Clinton Blamed Twice In Duke Lacrosse Rape Case

[wyldwolf]

From NewsHounds:

During Friday’s Hannity & Colmes, Alan Colmes asked Johnson, “USA Today (mentioned) that state and federal courts have rules that restrict attorneys from making out of court statements that can prejudice the outcome of a case. Are these defense attorneys breaking the law, possibly, or certainly the rules?”

Johnson replied, “You have to understand that a lot of these statements may or reportedly are coming from the same Clinton spin team, the same Clinton spin team that said lying about sex wasn’t a crime.”

Colmes asked, “What do you have to bring Clinton into this for? What does it have to do with Clinton?”

“It has a lot to do with it, in terms of standards in this country.”

Johnson was referring to the fact that attorney Bob Bennett, who represented Clinton in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case is now the spokesman for a group called “The Committee for Fairness to Duke Families.” Johnson, an attorney, must have known that Bennett is not one of the defense attorneys so the answer was not responsive to Colmes’ question. That, in itself, indicates that Johnson made a deliberate effort to work into his remarks a smear against Clinton. The fact that that he did it again the next night makes it almost certain. Read Melanie’s post and see for yourself.

1. Haha

So much garbage
Need open brain and empty trash.

[shenmue]

2. What the---?!?

How are they even trying to be sane?

On their planet, do they have extra moons?

[rfranklin]

3. I saw Clinton--he has horns and a tail and cloven hooves...

and he made all those Republicans and priests rape those children.

[NewJeffCT]

4. they are programmed to blame Clinton

any issue related to sex, they blame Clinton. Heck, they probably it was Clinton stealing Helen that led to the Trojan War...

5. Reminds me of what Charles Barkley said.

He was on CNN a few years ago, and Michael Savage :puke: was debating him.

Barkley got annoyed at Savage's blaming of Clinton for everything and said, "Why does everyone blame Clinton? 'Clinton did this, Clinton did that, Clinton shot JFK.'"

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

12. I thought Barkley was a Republican?

I guess since Savage is far right & Barkley is black, he was the de facto 'liberal'?

[spooky3]

16. Barkley supported John Edwards in 2004

17. He's not a Republican.

On Bill Maher's show, he claimed that rumor started because of an argument between he and his grandmother.

His grandmother told him, "Republicans are for rich people," so Barkley said, "I AM rich!" But he himself said he was not a Republican.

[Captain Hilts]

18. Barkley's great. Good news. Kornheiser and Wilbon are good buddies...

with him, so I assume he's at least not a Republican.

Though Sally Jenkins obviously is.

[NoPasaran]

28. Well, if Clinton hadn't invaded Poland

We wouldn't always have been at war with Eurasia!

[NewJeffCT]

29. That's right - I forgot Poland!

How Kerryesque of me.

[sarge43]

6. If Clinton didn't exist,

they'd have to invent him.

[ClintonTyree]

8. As a Pastafarian.....

I find that hilarious! :rofl: Was it Voltaire that coined that phrase about god?

[sarge43]

22. Yup

As a writer friend of mine once said, "If you're going to steal ... and you will, steal from the best." :evilgrin:

[Gman]

7. The Clenis is the root of all evil

I remain in awe of all the things the Clenis has effected.

[meegbear]

9. There are time I wish I was a republican ...

you can just blame every woe and issue affecting your life on a Clinton.

*sigh*

[KeepItReal]

10. So let's start blaming Nixon for Cheney and Rummy, then?

It would follow, then?

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. Actually, I think you can draw a better connection in your case.

This Clinton blaming has reached phenomenal proportions, eh?

[RaleighNCDUer]

21. Actually, I always have.

And Rove as well -- Nixon begat Atwater; Atwater begat Rove, and Rove looked upon the Dubya and said "I could make this guy President".

[xchrom]

11. the clenis under the bed!

just think of all those repukes going to bed each night dreaming of clinton's dick.

i just grossed my self out -- i hate thinking about republicans.

[BoneDaddy]

14. Genesis was wrong

It was actually Adam and Bill...but Bill made Adam eat the apple and because of Clinton we know have original sin.

[erpowers]

15. Not Clinton's Fault

As we at Democratic Underground all know this is not Clinton's fault. It is just sad that the Republican have to try to blame Clinton for everything. Beyond that, even though I think what the defense attorneys have done so far has been mainly bad, they have not tried to say rape is not a crime. Furthermore, Clinton's attorneys were pretty much so right lying about having sex was not an impeachable crime.

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. The invincible Clenis strikes again!

:eyes:

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. Bill Clinton was responsible for the 1906 SF earthquake, too

Faux and their RW whores must have missed that. Sloppy reporting?

[Stinky The Clown]

23. Hahahahahahahaha

They SURE do hate the guy, don't they?



I call it Clenis Envy

[Neil Lisst]

24. The righties must play a game to see who can mention Clinton first.

disparagingly, of course

[Norquist Nemesis]

25. Blame Clinton has replaced the orginal Godwin

Only difference is the Cons start with it because they have no other argument out of the gate.

[sarge43]

27. Clinton also serves as

their McGuffin, a diversion.

[Mountainman]

26. Why would any of us expect different from Fox? Why do you watch it?

Maybe it is the trill of getting pissed off at the right. Or maybe you think that some day Fox will change it's style and you want to be there when it happens.

Breaking news! Leopards have spots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hholli11]

30. You will the Clenis is repsonsible for EVERYTHING.

It just goes to show the staws they're grasping at.
