Your lieing fake comments got to be called --this 1 is----tonny from belgiumJul 3rd, 2007 - 06:30:00

What exactly was Clinton lying about?A blowjob?Big deal ,only neocons dare to compare protecting one's private life from biggot and evangelical interfering with matters of state .Nothing better to offer as argument?Compared to Bush Clinton is the pinnacle of honesty ,and that is a fact .

----------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
1)First Stick your Neocon Neocon Neocon up your socialist behind

2) Clinton lied under oath about something that didn’t matter, but it was still Perjury

3) Scooter also lied about the sequence of events, which also didn’t matter, because he was not found quilt of anything except lying under oath--Perjury.

4) He did not out her he just lied about bullshit like Clinton---both men should have not been hassled about their actions--just the Perjury--caused by 2 witch hunts that served no useful purpose

5)Pinnacle--of---honesty---Clinton let more felons go than any modern president in the last 50 years--IN EXCHANGE for MONEY for his libary and personal favors for relatives and friends
BUSH--has pardoned the least number of people in modern history--dumbass


SO THEY BOTH COMMITED THE SAME CRIME AND CLINTON GOT OFF COMPLETELY AND SCOOTER IS HIT WITH A 250000 FINE AND PROBATION---no it isn’t fair----- to Libby

The facts as we have them regarding Plame come from her testimony before the Senate committee. She was asked if she had been working undercover recently and the answer was an unequivocal 'yes'. I think she even said she had recently been outside the country on assignment. We aren't going to hear any more direct facts from any side on that from anywhere considering it is remarkable that she was allowed to testify on covert CIA operations in the first place.

Damage was done to the United States in revealing her ... not simply to her career but to the spy network and to her usefulness to the U.S. as a spy. It was illegal and traitorous to reveal her.

Libby was shown to have participated in the chain of revelations and to have lied about that ... which is perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton's perjury was that he lied about cheating on his wife with an intern. He did damage to the office, showed disrespect for marriage, and so on. It wasn't good but it wasn't treason. I suppose it could be argued that Clinton was validly pardoned for the sake of the office of the president and many did so in both parties. It would be difficult to make a case for how protecting Libby bolsters the office of the president ... except insofar as we accept the theory that if Libby wasn't given a deal, he would have blown the whistle. That takes both moral and real authority away from the president by acknowledging that it is essentially either blackmail else conspiracy.

As to all those who are wailing about how 'nice' Mr. Scooter is and now wrong it is to make him take the fall, tell that to the people responsible who are letting him take the fall. Cowardice and complicity are all we seem to get from this administration. Now, they are beating the war drums again, finding in Iran, new justifications for continuing Bush's war in Iraq. They are destroying the military of this country and that is traitorous in itself.

Where were all you partisan hypocrites when Clinton was doling out all his pardons or when Sandy Berger who actually committed a crime stealing documents from the National Archives, a crime for which anybody else would be serving time, got off with token penalties...a small fine and limited loss of practicing law...outrageous. And what about Nancy Pelosi's appointment of William Jefferson to a committee after knowing of the investigation into his obvious kickback scheme, where was the rebuke. The revelation here other than the hypocrisy of the Democratic party is the process to follow when your asked to help a special prosecutor. You do one of the following:
1 Decline
2 Have a damn good lawyer with you
3 Use the Hillary scheme 'I don't recall

Fitzgerald with all the time and money did NOT show Plame to be covert. One of the authors of that bill said she did not come under the jurisdiction of that law at that time. She could be seen walking in and out of the CIA building everyday something a covert agent would not do. Her husband Joe Wilson wrote about her in Who's who. Not something you do to a covert agent. The prosecutor knew this and new about Armitage...this phony partisan case should have been dismissed...waste of time and money.

Why is everybody surprised our president did this? He's corrupt, has no respect for anyone or their thoughts, and would force HIS thoughts and beliefs on all of America if he had it his way. He's a barbarian living in the dark ages of executions for being the wrong religion (oh, that's still happening isn't it?) I agree with the first poster. It's time for an impeachment. This president has failed his country miserably over and over again.

As usual neocon republicans are trying to turn a wrong into a right by bringing in so called wrongdoing of Pelosi,Busg,etc,etc.Are they perhaps willing to tell us if that is some kind of justification? Or are they trying to reinvent the lightning rod ?
If I were Bill Clinton I would have told Kenneth Starr to piss off when asked about Lewinski .Only the right wing neocons and their contemporary acolytes dare to think that a justified lie about your private life ,which is nobody's bizness even in the USA ,is equal to the present situation.THe whole ridiculous lewinski affair was a complot bt neocons,fox,evangelists and biggots from the republican party trying to smear Clinton ?Only they can be offensed by such trifle as a blow job,going through all the silly procedures as examining Lewinski's dress for semen .THe whole affair was wipped up for months and months ,inflated out of proportions .Are they perhaps jealous because they never got head in their pitifull lives ?How ridiculous .I guess it must be hard to be a neocon nowadays .THe only tactic they know is trying to drag the democrats in their bath and share the dirty water.What a ridiculous defense that makes .
