FReeper response to Delay's indictment: Its Clinton's fault! :)
Clinton Legacy: The Cost of Real Corruption
By Christopher G. Adamo
October 20, 2005

From the moment of Tom Delay's indictment, liberal grandstanding has been relentless. Its most notable mouthpieces, led by the ever-shrill House Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, characterized the indictment as solid proof of a "culture of corruption" among the Republicans.

Not wanting to end up on the wrong side of these controversies, conservatives are reserving judgment on Delay and Rove, awaiting the official outcome of the judicial charades that must now follow. Unfortunately, their reluctance to directly confront such deception will only be perceived as weakness.

Such restrained behavior may once again do more harm than good in a political climate where the law is increasingly invoked, not as a guardian of justice, but as a weapon by which the powerful can dominate the weak.

For more than a decade, political posturing and "spin," long a means of supplanting uncomfortable facts with glib soundbites, has become the primary tactic of the political left. To date nobody has engaged in such behavior more perniciously than former President Bill Clinton, abetted (and perhaps driven) by his wife Hillary.

2. When they mention Clinton, they've already lost the argument.
Kind of reminds me of an arguing couple, and one of them turns to the other and says, "Oh yeah? And 20 years ago you left the cap off the toothpaste!"

Get over it already, you fweepers. Your desperation is clinging to you like day-old sweat.

11. Yup, I've started calling it the Clenis Corollary to Godwin's Law
As soon as a tighty righty starts up with "well, Clinton...", I tune 'em out.

3. Yawn
Projection. Projection. Projection.

Are they so delusional that they don't realize how old and disingenuous this argument is?

4. They blame Clinton...
when it rains, when the dog sneezes, when they forget what day it is, for pity's sake.

Two hundred years from now, they will still blame Clinton.

They will blame Clinton when we are living on the moon.

7. I would like to invoke Blackwell Sucks' law
Any right-winger who during a political argument blames Bill Clinton for anything, immediately loses that argument.

8. (c)reep-er response to reality: "it's overrated."
Say what you will about Lewinsky's looks, but that must've been one powerful BJ, since, according to the (C)reep-ers, we are still experiencing it's ramifications into the future.

9. This shows their complete lack
of history. The man who destroyed the belief in gov't was Nixon. That is his legacy.

10. They all still quake in fear of the mighty Clenis!
Seriously, if he had that much influence, I think we'd be free of ShrubCo by now!

13. As Stephanie Miller so aptly puts it
"They're out of bullets and just throwing the gun."

15. He is right. All the "impeachers" ended badly - OK, most of, some still
have to pay for what they did...
So, in a way, it is Clinton's fault.

16. At least he got the term right: "culture of corruption". So true.
