The Clinton Body Count talking point is Freeper trash.

[geek tragedy]

Since Hillary is running for President, the rightwing crazies (including those posing as leftists) are back pushing this, suggesting that people who may testify 'against' Clinton or otherwise inconvenience her candidacy are in mortal danger.

Claim: Bill Clinton has quietly done away with several dozen people who possessed incriminating evidence about him.

Origins: A new version of a lengthy list of deaths associated with Bill Clinton began circulating on the Internet in August 1998. According to it, there have been close to fifty suspicious deaths of colleagues, advisors and citizens who were about to testify against the Clintons, with the unstated implication that Bill Clinton or his henchmen were behind each untimely demise.

We shouldn't have to tell anyone not to believe this claptrap, but we will anyway. In a frenzied media climate where the Chief Executive couldn't boff a White House intern without the whole world finding out every niggling detail of each encounter and demanding his removal from office, are we seriously to believe the same man had been having double handfuls of detractors and former friends murdered with impunity?

Generally, when you see someone drop the CBC talking point, it means they're a rightwing ignoramus.

3. OMG! Has then been on DU this campaign season? I know they pulled it out in 2008

but I thought the trolls had gotten smarter.

[geek tragedy]

4. See the thread re: Clinton's techie getting immunity

to testify.

[fbc]

5. Generally? I'd say invariably.

I'm not really even sure why this warning would need to be posted it's so obvious.

[Juicy_Bellows]

6. I may be wrong but are you the first to float this duck on DU?

I haven't seen anyone drag this bullshit out here.

I can't imagine any honest posters here that would give any of this serious consideration.

[geek tragedy]

8. People are suggesting that the state department techie

who's going to testify about Hillary's email server will need to leave the country or enter witness protection program for safety reasons.

7. The Arkansas Project is back?

Larry Nichols, Whitewater, The Travel Office, Mena Airport, and Vince Foster all over again.

[bunnies]

9. This is the first Ive heard of it.

[geek tragedy]

10. it's an old and foul talking point.

the idea being that Bill and Hillary Clinton routinely have people inside the US assassinated due to political expediency

There are shitheads who believe this crap, some of them even post at DU

[bunnies]

11. Thats actually a thing?!

wow.

[geek tragedy]

12. comments re: about Hillary's email techie testifying to Congress in exchange for immunity

Right here at DU, with people claiming to be Bernie supporters.

he could always hold out for immunity plus
witness protection. New life, new history, new face...the whole enchilada.

(emphasis added)

If I was him I'd take the
deal and eventually leave the country for safety sake.

(emphasis added)

These are the same people who think Hillary had her friend Vince Foster killed and staged it as a suicide.

16. These are very old accusations and they are the reason

that many of us listen with a grain of salt to the bull that the media throw at her now. There have been many attacks from the left on her and Bill but so far Monica is the only one that proved to be true.

And Monica was not our business.

But trust me the rw will keep digging as long s she is in any government position.

[bunnies]

17. I dont even know what to say about that.

No one would ever mistake me for a Clinton fan, but that is some absurd stuff. Vince Foster again too? *smh*

[progressoid]

14. My former boss believed it.

Probably still does.

He also thinks Michelle Obama's mother practices Voodoo in the White House. Seriously, he believes that.

[bunnies]

18. omg.

For real? Please tell me he doesnt vote.

[progressoid]

20. Sadly, yes.

[bunnies]

21. My current boss is a Trump supporter.

And damn proud of it. Why is it that the stupid R's are the most reliable voters?

[stevenleser]

13. Anyone pushing that here has outed themselves as a troll IMHO. nt

[stevenleser]

15. Can someone please post a link to the OP where this is happening?

Thanks in advance!

22. It originated as the "Bush body count".

Pre-Clinton the "Bush body count" used to make the rounds. Shortly after Clinton got into office, they changed it to "Clinton body count" and just added a few new bodies. How did this make sense?

Well, mostly it didn't. But the Mena airport thing happened while Bush was President and Clinton governor. So you could "tie" that portion to either one of them.

Largest body count group was a bunch of men in their 60s and 70s after the Reagan DoJ "stole" their software. Because a bunch of men in their 60s and 70s dying is somehow a mystery.

Second largest body count group was the Mena airport issue in which a bunch of drug dealers (and possibly a couple of innocent witnesses) got murdered. Because a bunch of drug dealers killing each other is somehow a mystery.
