This was just emailed to me calling attention to Clinton's friends who
...supposedly have died under suspicious circumstances. The inferences are that somehow the "Evil Clintons" have been responsible.

I am sure this is more "Swift-boating" smears and RW propaganda. Has anyone seen this before? Has it been discredited?

9. old news
but there is a segment of the population -- usually mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, Rush Limpballs listeners -- who will believe all that 'till the day they die.

11. you could also respond with
the death toll from the Gulf War and this Iraq fiasco and compare that highly suspect 47 "Clinton deaths" to the thousands and thousands of soldiers killed under the Bush Family.

12. Could this be from a book by J Fallweell, RIP, ---
Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 12:28 PM by OHdem10
Early in Clinton administration Falwell produced a horrible
"so called Documentary" on the Clintons in which a facet dealt
with all these people who had mysteriously died in Arkansas
and of course he tried to connect their deaths to Clinton.
This thing was terrible and yes ABC ran the darn thing.
Falwell treated it as an informercial and he paid fot
this trash to be played over and over.

This sounds like stuff from that informercial.

18. I think it is about time we made our own emails
And started sending them to the republicans. Course it would take about 100 pages just to list all the sex perverts.

Just for clarification I would like to mention just two...first how in the devil did the Clintons get into McDougal's jail cell. And what dope would get on a plane for the purpose for killing someone when they could just as easily have done it on the ground. Shows how stupid these people are.

20. As you very quickly got an answer - why did you not delete all that garbage
Edited on Fri Aug-10-07 11:30 AM by karynnj
with a note refering people to reponse 1 - so that no one reads it without the debunking? Seriously you had the answer in TWO MINUTES - and you responded - so you saw it within 15 minutes. Surely the edit period was not up.

21. Imho, it's useful to see how the Thuggery will come at our candidate.
Because we can prepare a response. If they're digging up this stuff again, it's a good thing know so it can be countered.

In fact, right now they seem to be 1)Attacking Clinton for being a Clinton and 2)Repeating the meme that the left is splintering.
