WHY can't liberals be more like rightwingers???
All rightwingers embraced President Clinton! They never uttered a single word against Clinton's policies and NEVER EVER against Clinton's personal life.

Nor did they EVER say a disparaging word against the First Lady or the Clintons' child.

Nope. Never. Uh uh.

Rightwingers saw President Clinton as THEIR President, too, and made it clear that as President, his policies should be obeyed without any form of dissent whatsoever.

And when Clinton sent troops to Bosnia, ALL republicans fully supported the troops! No republican tried to pass a bill in Congress to not support the troops and when a republican did try to pass a bill, no republicans signed it. And those republicans who did sign the bill to not support the troops weren't really republicans. Nope. They were just fake republicans.

Why, if any republicans had dissented against any of Clinton's policies, other republicans would IMMEDIATELY have denounced such unpatriotic America-hating bastards! And compared them to Hitler!

After all, as republicans will tell you, you must 100% support the President of the United States no matter what, you must never ever dissent, you must agree with every Presidential policy, or you're just a hate-filled hate-spewing anti-American non-American treasonous (etc)

Yep, when Clinton was President, republicans never uttered a single word of dissent.

*cough*

Oh sorry, back to the auction...so what'll ya gimme for this loverly bridge! Only used by a sweet old lady on her drive to church every Sunday, make me an offer!

3. But, 9/11 Is Just Cover For Their Rampant Fear
They fear far beyond the ability to cover it up with ideological bluster. If they weren't so cowardly, they wouldn't need 9/11 as a way to support a dunce. They would just support him no matter what, because they actually believed in him. They don't.

9/11 is just a pathetic excuse for cowards to support policies they know to be against their own interest so those policies will be even harder on the poor people they hate so much.

4. Because liberals aren't intrinsically evil?
That's my guess. Might as well throw the language back at them.

5. And you would never hear a Republican compare Clinton to Hitler
Neither Bill nor Hillary. Republicans embraced both of them.

And, I am almost certain that you will never be able to find a right wing website that called for the assasination of Clinton.

6. Un-girdled respect
It amazed me they way they showed their respect to the Clintons. They held nothing back.

Thankfully they have repaced Bill with a resident who stands head and shoulders above the whitehouse mice. You will never have to bear hearing the words "I never had sex with that woman" from anywhere around this WH.... instead just lessons on Texas horse milking, and how a prostitute roamed the halls as he made rounds obver 200 times.

Yep, we owe the repukes a great debt for their un-girdled show of respect for America's 42nd President.

10. And you'd NEVER hear such derogatory name-calling as "Hitlery".
And actually there was a US senator, IIRC, who called for the assassination of Clinton too (while Clinton was Prez.) and damned if I can remember who it was.

Of course the senator was only pretending to be a republican just to make the republican party look bad & was actually a Dem because no republican would DREAM of saying such a thing in any way shape or form about President Clinton or any other President!

9. And a rightwing pundit would NEVER
use the stomach-wrenching events of 9/11, and use the occasion of eulogizing her friend who died on that day, to get in yet another attack on the Clintons, proving that in her black soul, the most important value of all is cheap malice:

"...it was actually easy to imagine Ted reading political
columns aloud to Barbara at the breakfast table. Theirs was a
relationship that could only be cheaply imitated by Bill and
Hillary — the latter being a subject of Barbara's appropriately
biting bestseller, Hell to Pay. Hillary claimed preposterously in
the Talk magazine interview that she discussed policy with Bill
while cutting his grapefruit in the morning. Ted and Barbara
really did talk politics — and really did have breakfast together."

Only a Democrat could display that level of hatred and misplaced vindictiveness on such an occasion. Only a Democrat would posses the subhuman pettiness, the meanness of spirit, to think that a time when the nation was longing to forget our differences in the interest of healing and unity, would be a good time to scoop up a big handful of shit and fling it in the faces of the "Blue" half of the country.

No Republican would ever do something like that.
