RW shill on CNN: "Clinton distracted by RW attacks"

[magellan]

About 20 minutes ago, talking about Clinton's appearance on FAUX. Paraphrase: "I think Clinton was too distracted by the RW attacks against him to focus on bin Laden."

That's very close to what he said. Which made me think that it sounds once again like the RW have no one to blame but themselves.

I also enjoy the irony of a CNN RW shill snarking about Clinton's responses to Chris Wallace while simultaneously claiming that it fits the Clinton "myth" of the "RW media". :rofl: CLUELESS!

And this twit had what exactly to say about Bush**'s run-in with Matt Lauer two weeks ago and the monkey king's pro-torture melt-down 4 days later? Nothing -- he was probably too distracted by his hard-on.

1. So basically, he's saying the right is responsible for 911

I agree.

3. Put it this way: if Clinton was distracted

....then the RW was downright asleep at the wheel. They spent a lot of time raising a firestorm over a personal matter, and refused to give Clinton expanded wiretapping and other tools they later willingly handed to Bush**.

The RW screwed the pooch as far as being focused on bin Laden pre-9-11. And they haven't exactly been deadeye fixed on bin Laden SINCE 9-11 either.

This is just another sorry RW attempt to cover up their own (and numerous) wretched failures.

At least Clinton is big enough to own up to his!

2. Ken Starr wasted hundreds of hours of Clinton's time

Subpoenas, depositions, documents, meetings with lawyers, etc. Endless hours of his time and his staff's time that were sucked away on a frivolous investigation.

And Clinton is to be faulted for not firing Starr and threatening him with prosecution.

4. You mean after the investigation I hope

It wouldn't have looked too good for Clinton to fire him during. But I agree with you. I didn't even know it was within his powers to do that. Shame he didn't. That was a non-stop circus led by the RW. If Clinton was 'distracted' as they claim, they have only themselves to blame.

5. Tom Tomorrow nailed it

6. Spot on!

Thank you! :)

7. And the investigators were distracted from finding potential terrorists

since 1/20/2001 because they were pulled from investigations to look into:

The Marc Rich pardon (so that the Republicans could re-impeach Clinton)
Chandra Levy's affair
"Stolen silverware"
"The trashing of the White House offices"
Missing "W" keys from keyboards
Clinton's New York offices

[magellan]

10. There's a real criminal irony

...in what the RW considers worthy of investigation, and what they consider unworthy:

The DSM
Torture
Election fraud
Outing of Valerie Plame
9-11
Warrantless domestic wiretapping
etc ad nauseum

8. They are getting desperate again

When Clinton was president we had 8 years of peace and prosperity.

Bush has been president for 6 years and he's been nothing but a disaster. He hasn't done one single thing right, except make his oil buddies richer.

9. Another Day Without Mention Of Iraq & Bad Economy

Somehow now we've gone from a distraction about torturing (and yes it's a distraction as it should fall into a comprehensive attack on the war and those responsible for it) to re-sorting the 90's...needless bullshit when so much is on the line.

Unfortunately, Clinton's appearance has now taken up a third day of critical time when we need to refocus people's attention to the corruption and ineptness of this regime. It's time for Democrats to really focus...it's time to be on the offensive, not play silly strawman games that are what Rove and his ilk like to play. It's time to call Repugnican for the crooks and liars that they are, and my pocketbook is open to any and all candidates that do just that.
