Clinton brings up Max Cleland and Saxby Chamblis, the Swiftboaters, and Kerry. He is ticked off and sarcastic. Much fun.

[liberal N proud]

1. Thanks for posting

[Highway61]

2. Bill...tells it like it is

calls them on their bullshit

[ShortnFiery]

3. No fun. I'm totally burned out with this, IMO, morally smarmy man. nt

[Hamlette]

24. I hear ya. It's SO much worse to have sex than to start wars and kill thousands! n/t

[toadzilla]

4. I love hearing Bill speak

I disagree with him on many issues, but oh how I long to hear a smart and articulate person speak as our leader again.

[kenfrequed]

11. I have to agree

I disagreed with all of his free trade policy but it is refreshing to see him calling the repugs on their crap.

[CottonBear]

5. You tell 'em Bill! Max Cleland was my senator and I'll never forgive Chambliss for what he did.

Wouldn't you just love to be a fly on the while when Bill tells it like it is in a private conversation?

19. Look into the illegal Diebold patch in Atlanta area in 2002 race claims! Suspect!

Two counties with 50% of Dem vote in GA.

[CottonBear]

28. I know about the Georgia patch. I'll never forgive SoS Cathy Cox (D) for Diebolding us in 2002.

We were the first in the nation 100% Diebold state and look what it got us: Saxby Chambliss and a Republican Governor and a Republican majority in the Georgia state assembly for the first time since reconstruction. :grr:

We used to be the South's most progressive state. Now we are shit. :(

6. Oh, wow! The words alone don't begin to convey Clinton's anger over this hypocrisy. K&R

[Tarc]

7. If ever there was an amendment that needed repealing

it'd be the 22nd.

[aintitfunny]

8. It is well past time that someone said it.

Meanwhile instead of speaking the truth many Senators chose to participate in the silly censuring of Move On - including two of my own - Democrats Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski. I am thoroughly disgusted.

[durrrty libby]

9. Thanks. He is the best

He has a new website for his Global Initiative Foundation

mycommitment.org check it out

[gateley]

10. I hope millions of people saw this. Thanks! nt

[erpowers]

12. Great

That was great. I am glad he called the Republican out on this issue. You can easily see he is really upset.

[ooglymoogly]

13. A man who deals in reality.

[kimmylavin]

14. Wow.

Barely controlled fury.
Pretty powerful.

[woofielove]

15. Urgh...cmon gang ... stop this already and MOVEON

Gang....This one is going to kill us next election...the swiftboat thing was attacking a politician running for office (fair game, even though it sucked)...the Petraus this was MoveOn attacking a career officer...not a politician running for office, west point grad, princeton grad, and unanimously confirmed by the Senate...IE NOT fair game.

The Elephants are going to KILL us on this if we don't denounce the ad....as the Congress has done overwhelmingly.

[rAVES]

[SemperEadem]

22. shut the fucque up... freeper troll!

[goddess40]

16. Just sent a letter to Sen Kohl saying the same thing

What the hell are they thinking voting for shit like this

[woofielove]

17. Both House & Senate Overwhelmingly Denounced MoveOn

From Jan 2006 ... unanimous vote of confirmation.

"Today, the House followed suit in a vote of 341 voting to condemn MoveOn.org, 79 voting against enouncing them and 12 that didn't vote." - MoveOn.org



Note "Clinton (D-NY), Yea"

She's gonna get her ass handed to her over this, regardless of what Bill says.

18. You can see that his is PO'ed

You can see it very clearly.

Good job Bill.

[L. Coyote]

20. We need Clinton to speak out regularly, to call them out like this. Propaganda cop!

[Hamlette]

25. and you wonder why Hillary is popular? We really want Bill back.

before you jump on me, Hillary is my 3rd choice, not my first. But I can't help think some people are supporting her because we love Bill so much.

[PDJane]

26. I like the man.

I disagree with him, often, and he has a heavy trigger finger sometimes.

That said, my problem with the business over censure of move on goes further and deeper. For what it's worth, this looks like one more milestone on the slippery slope to fascism.

[aaronbees]

27. I LOVE that anger

He is fuckin' pissed. So glad he mentioned Cleland and the absolutely despicable, sickening way Cleland was portrayed. As much as I disagree with Bill on some key issues, I'll always love this man. This Big Dog bites! :D

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

29. Screw It! Repeal the 22nd Amendment!!

Still the smartest guy in politics.
