I just gave Brit Hume the smackdown...
No don't rag me about watching Fox News Sunday because I only get one channel after getting rid of my dish. but it is good to be informed of the other sides spin.

But Brit Hune stepped right in my trap He compared the Clinton BJ to that of Foley and I was ready for that thanks to having read the response to it on DU (oh yes I am capable of plagiarism for the good cause)
Here is my email to Fox News Sunday.

Someone needs to explain to Brit Hume the difference between sex between consenting adults and the sexual exploitation of children by the pedophile.
I can‘t believe he can not see the difference but I heard it with my own two ears as he equated the two by comparing the Clinton affair with that of Foley.
How many more of them are there out in that great America that have lost all sense of morality in favor of party loyalty. . .

1. Good job.
I don't believe in smacking people down for monitoring the propaganda. Somebody has to fight back.

2. Good reply.
Too bad Brit Hume has lost whatever rational powers he was born with and won't understand what you mean.

7. Hey, we don't want to be left in the dark
about what the other side is saying, so it's necessary to go into enemy territory from time to time. You did a great job of putting what Clinton did, as opposed to what Foley did, into perspective.

It's pathetic, actually, that they are reduced to dragging out the same, tired old talking points every time one of them screws up, which is all of the time anyway. At any rate, they hardly are able to claim the moral high-road, considering how many Republican politicians have had serial affairs and cheated on their spouses time after time.

9. But the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton. They covered up for Foley.
So it seems to me that the comparison is even more damning.

13. Good e-ltr, good disclaimer re:Faux in the o.p., good posters to thread
I posted a similar thread and got some of those repeat-raggers. It's hilarious that we sometimes have to post disclaimers to preempt those "why-do-you-watch" and "turn-it-off" posts. Sometimes I do the disclaimer. Other times I ask NO-RAGGING-PLEASE. The times I omit the disclaimer, TRUSTINGLY, sure enough I get nothing but hijacking rag posts.

I envy you your polite, bonding posters here. I sure wish they would post in MY threads.

15. I wrote to him
Hume is grasping at straws here. Clinton was Impeached for his actions. He is not in office anymore.

They blame Clinton because they try to deflect attention from the fact that they temselves are morally bankrupt and hypocrits, too.
They Impeach Clinton for lying about a consensual sex act. They cover up their own member's pornographic attentions with a minor.

I have sero respect for them. Zero. Sub zero, even.
