Local idiot brings up "Clinton Body Count" in "Sound Off" section of my local paper today.

http://www.dailylocal.com/article/20130403/OPINION04/130409842/sound-off

This is the paper that gave Dave Barry his start, but they've gone way downhill since then. Their call-in "Sound Off" section, or as I like to call it, "Old Man Yells At Cloud", is normally full of ignorant right-wingers, and the paper, being right-wing, will normally print just about anything they say. Today, however, they actually published a rant about the so-called "Clinton Body Count":

“During the years Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, several dozen people died mysteriously, including law enforcement officers and two teenage boys who were running a drug operation near the airport. National Public Radio, a left-leaning organization, in their documentary had the son of Clinton’s security chief testify that his father was going to submit to the feds an extensive dossier about Clinton’s misbehavior if Bill did not cease. He was found dead shortly after at a remote intersection in Little Rock, Ark. Typically, this incident was not published by the leftist main stream media.”

There's a comment section on the article. Enjoy.

are going bananas and dredging up all the old Clinton "scandal" talking points. It's going to be a wild ride if Mrs. Clinton decides to run.

and neither will it, for Hillary! This just proves how scared they are, with their unfounded, tin-foil conspiracies.

Hilliary/Warren 2016!

They do not comprehend that you cannot define someone the voters already know and feel comfortable with. They tried it with PBO and failed miserably.

"We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like that time I took the ferry over to Shelbyville; I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickle, and in those days, nickles had pictures of bumblebees on them. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war; the only thing you can get was those big yellow ones."
