9. If Clinton was actually running the spin would be that he's so touchy
Edited on Fri Sep-22-06 10:01 PM by blm
about his failures that he explodes at the mere mention of them.

And the segment would have been editted to reflect that storyline. This is not the same media climate from 1992. It's far more corporate and BLATANTLY so.

And shouldn't Clinton have put up a forceful defense of those charges back when they were made in books that came out in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004?

He chose not to then, and every Dem candidate running in 2002 and 2004 was labeled with the Dems are weak on terror meme thanks to his silence. He was so silent, ABC decided they could get away with using the lies in the book as their storyline.

So, what if Clinton HAD put up a forceful dfense back when those books came out and the harges were flying in all of the media?
