Reply #69: It was a nuanced statement but its intent was perfectly clear

I would have thought that the Clintons, being two of the most unfairly attacked Democrats I have ever witnessed being persecuted over such an extended period of time, would be overly cautious about playing the same game with an opponent. Just goes to show you how wrong I can be. There appears to be a pattern of their absorbing all of the past dirty tricks executed in the last few years, learning from them by watching their effect, and applying one as the situation demands.

Bill Clinton, for example, was accused of being unpatriotic by George H.W. Bush during the 1992 campaign.
