My Freeper friend has issues

[sellitman]

I sent him a picture of Conyers being barred from the White House and this was his reply:


<SNIP>I'm sure your buddy Billy Clinton went down to the gates to get served
> some impeachment papers from some wackos from the republican party!!!
> Give me a break.. Conyers is fool!!!


Can anyone tell me where and how Clinton was served his Impeachment papers? I'm willing to bet it wasn't behind a gate.

Thanks in advance!

1. Clinton was never impeached

Your friend is an idiot.

2. Um, WHAT?

6. LOVE this pic, asthmaticeog!!!

3. Clinton was impeached on Dec 19, 1998.

4. he was impeached, but not convicted

5. Clinton was impeached

He wasn't, however, convicted. None of the charges against him even garnered a majority vote from a Republican-controlled Senate, let alone the 2/3 majority it would have required to remove Clinton from office. The failure of any of the charges to receive a majority vote indicates the bogus nature of the articles of impeachment voted by a lame duck session of the House late in 1998.

14. Time to fix the acorn.

20. Sorry: he WAS impeached. The house impeaches, the Senate didn't convict.

7. But they weren't serving impeachment papers.

They were presenting the petition with over half a million citizens' signatures.

[sellitman]

8. Yes...I know that.

But does anyone know how Clinton was served his papers? Was it in session?

[Sparkly]

9. I'd imagine they delivered them to his office.

10. What a tool. You may want to point out some of the following

Conyers was not delivering an impeachment notice. Attorneys tend to handle those kinds of things.

There was never a petition signed by over half a million Americans demanding an investigation into why Clinton didn't want to share his private life with the world.

An impeachment notice and a request for the answers to a few legitimate questions regarding foreign policy and the reason over 1700 American men and women have died is comparing apples to oranges. Your friend is an idiot.

[Gold Metal Flake]

13. Thank you.

CitrusLib presents the correct response.

sellitman, why do you even consider playing the freeper game? He is trying to get you off track into a separate issue that has no analogue to what happened yesterday. Stop letting yourself be played.

11. You shouldn't put up with his foolishness

Bill Clinton has nothing to do with this situation and people who invoke his name every time Bush does something rotten are stupid idiots.

[Spiffarino]

15. Freeper pulls Clinton out of his ass when confronted with facts?

Wow, that's a new one.

They're playing a fiddle with one string.

[chopper]

16. what

is with wingnuts and the overuse of the damn exclamation point, anyways?

OMG KLINTOON!!!!1! AND HITLERY TO!!!!

[Morose]

17. Sorry I'm still laughting about your subject line

:laugh:

A freeper with issues...who would have thunk it :D

18. Clinton's papers were delivered in grandstanding fashion

& all the cameras were there to capture the moment. It was replayed on the news over & over. I can still see Hyde, Barr, & Senselessberger's smug faces as they marched the distance.

[myrna minx]

21. I remember Hyde shook a staffer's hand while mugging for

the cameras. Hyde looked smugly overjoyed. The handshake was weird because it was the kind one does when they receive the key to the city not marching articles of impeachment to the Senate, trying to destroy the country.

[pacalo]

22. I'll bet Senselessberger talks daily with the WH these days

being that he's the chairman of the house judiciary committee, sitting alongside his puppetmaster's main nemesis. Senselessberger's extraordinary dirty tricks against Conyers appear to be Rove's m.o.

19. This is called the "strawman" argument

When a person is faced with an indefensible position, he erects a strawman to distract from the original argument.

I would just remind him that this is 2005, and we are no longer discussing Bill Clinton. We are discussing George Bush. And George Bush deserves those papers not through a gate, nor in his office, but next to the East River in a bucket of cement.
