December 17, 1999: Clinton admits to authorizing spying on Americans

[Walt Starr]

Can you imagine the outcry had that been an actual headline?

[aquart]

1. Republicans would have been on their knees thanking Jesus.

[ixion]

2. yes, when they weren't shrieking to high heavens

:puke:

[Oceansaway]

3. on their knees??...LoL

[bigtree]

5. hell, they had FBI files mistakenly thrown in a closet somewhere

and the republicans peed themselves in their hurry to hang him.

[Neil Lisst]

4. they wouldn't even have a trial

They'd seize control and announce the coup.

6. I went over to freeperville;

And their thread on this topic (b***'s, not Clinton's) was 650 posts long. They were pissed, not because of what happened, but by what they thought happened. See, they are upset that someone leaked the details and not that b*** broke any laws. In fact, they are all gung-ho that b*** is looking out for them and the no good liberals are spoiling it. I read 150 of the posts and not one said that b*** had done anything wrong. It was like I was on another planet and they were speaking in a language that sort of made sense, but not really.

8. You read 150 posts over there?!?!?!?

You're either a lot braver than I, or you've got a cast iron gut! I'm ready to either throw something or throw up after just a few freeper posts. That's why I never venture over to the dark side.

That, and the fact that what you posted doesn't surprise me in the least. If any freeper dared to suggest that * had done anything wrong, I'm sure they would be quickly flamed and locked, or whatever it is they do to their dissenters over there.

7. Rule of law! Rule of law! Rule of law! Ad nauseum. n/t

[leftchick]

9. you could actually do that with every fucking outrage from bushco

Starting with

Clinton was flying around the country on 9/11.

Clinton passes the Patriot act.

Clinton goes to war on faulty intelligence.

Etc. Can you imagine had it been him???

[Fritz67]

10. Clinton Invades Kosovo...

..Claims that the intelligence makes it a "Slam dunk case" that Slobodan Milosevic funded Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing

"We tortured some Militiamen from Michigan. Since we asked them five hundred times 'Admit it! Slobo funded 4-19!!!' and stuck hot pokers in their ass every time they said 'No', we know it was right when they finally admitted the truth!"

Rush and the rest of the Didiots would be screaming for blood.

11. yes i can, but i really have to stretch my imagination.clinton is not the

sort who would...however, the cacophony of outraged seagulls is easy to imagine.
