CNN - Clinton's boyhood home burns
HOT SPRINGS, Arkansas (AP) -- A fire gutted about 75 percent of one of former President Bill Clinton's boyhood homes, fire officials said.

<snip>

On Friday, a cottage in Lake Winola, Pennsylvania, owned by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's family was slightly damaged in a fire that destroyed an adjacent home.

10. Where do you get that from?
The article I read said something about an "engine fire". Sounds like an accident to me.

12. Did you happen to read even two lines into the report
The Clinton home was damaged from an adjacent home that burned down. Do you really think "the kind of folks we're up against" are going to burn down the neighboring home of Clinton's home just to lightly damage it?

I think we can do a little better with the tinfoil than this...

14. ROVE! ROVE! ROVE! He's everywhere....aaaaaaaaaaa
I just wonder how he had the time to burn both of these houses when he was clearly vandalizing a veteran's monument.

20. That'd be Hillary Rodhan Clinton's old home
The President's was gutted 75% by a massive fire caused (presumably by accidenT) by a car engine in the garage.

22. Yeah, the same ones that have the anti-Clinton Library going
up at the same time the Clinton Library is being built. Can they say . . . "Obsessed?"

3. Yes, the Freepers are getting frisky
They have to find something to do until they can "go Nazi" on us.

This should amuse them.

I am NOT amused.

6. This one is in Hot Springs...
and I think the one being sold is in Hope.

By the way, I've been to Hope - went in 1993. Their claim to fame was "World's Biggest Watermelons" before the Big Dog was elected.

Did he get his watermelons from Hope?

8. These idiots got the wrong house in Pennsylvania???
Are you fucking kidding me? Can you imagine the stupidity. "Le's go burn down Hitlery's cottage. Oooops. We got the wrong one!" Then on to Clinton's home, which they burn down? Unbelievable. Hopefully, the Secret Service will consider this a serious threat and send these shitbirds to Lewisberg. Shite.

13. Where in the report do you see his house was targeted?
Or is this just more tinfoil?

16. Sounds like tinfoil to me.
Though I don't doubt FReepers are celebrating. Remember, just because they were dancing in the streets in Baghdad after 9/11, it doesn't mean Iraqis had anything to do with it. Same here, I think.

11. If this house is where Bill Clinton witnessed his step-father beating up
his mother, then maybe its loss would be a blessing for him. He had a hard life as a youth and one less souvenir might be welcome.

25. I hope they catch them and trace it back to Rove
That would be the breaking point.

27. ROVE! ROVE! ROVE! He's everywhere....aaaaaaaaaaa
Now I know why he wanted my lighter. I don't even think he smokes.

If you ask me, Rove kidnapped that college woman in Wisconsin.
