Is Kerry becoming a bore for calling Bill Clinton out on his lies?

[ProSense]

(click me!)

[Dante_]

1. Are they lies or did Bill push the wrong button?

[Dante_]

3. Did Kerry ever lie? We don't want to go down that road. I am a Kerry voter, but...

...we don't want to go down that road.

Holier than thou-ism is all you have?

[ProSense]

6. Here:

Hillary

[Bicoastal]

2. How did you do that?

(Setting up a clickable smily, I mean...)

[LittleClarkie]

11. She's done it several times, always for that one link. It's kinda cool isn't it.

Let me try. I bet if you put in the text for the smilie such as colon.sarcasm.colon where the text for the link goes, it would work.

:sarcasm:

Yep, worked. In the HTML lookup table, it's the "HREF link with text display" one.

12. like this?

26. Or this:

That's kinda fun.

[AtomicKitten]

4. Try as they might, the Clintons can't put THAT genie back in the bottle.

So they resort to attacking the messenger instead.

[Dante_]

5. wow? really? attack the messenger? oh my. dirty politics alert!

[AtomicKitten]

7. Indeed and Democrats need to not mince words about it.

If we decide as a party that we are going to turn a blind eye to the Rovian-inspired dirty politics the Clintons are employing, we may as well pack it in because we then become no better than the other side of the aisle.

[Dante_]

13. Rovian inspired? Are we on the same planet? The Clintons did not copy Rove

get a grip

[AtomicKitten]

15. Riiiiight! And DeNile is just another river in Egypt.

I'm afraid you are going to have to do better than feigning innocence and saying it just isn't so. Observers of politics won't be as easily dissuaded as you seem to think.

an example for the nonbelievers:

Bill Clinton Pulls a Karl Rove

Late yesterday, Bill Clinton made an interesting statement while stumping for Hillary in Iowa. He predicted Mike Huckabee (who, like Clinton, hails from Hope, Arkansas) would win the Republican caucus today and even gave him a sort of hedging endorsement. From the Sun:

"Governor Huckabee has got a little hometown pride going because it looks like the Iowa republicans are going to give him the caucus." … "He looks to me like the only one who can tell a joke. It's a pretty dark crowd." … "You know he was underestimated. He's got on well here and it doesn't surprise me."

That's weird, huh? Especially since in some polls (like one in Arkansas, for example), Huckabee is the only candidate who poses a threat to Clinton's wife, Hillary. It's odd that Bubba would add his weight to Huckabee's momentum. Except, wait a minute, isn't this familiar? Didn't Karl Rove and President Bush sort of tout Hillary herself as an inevitable Democratic choice, thus playing into her "de facto nominee" primary strategy? Rove and Bush did it because they assume Hillary's negatives will take her down in the general election, so they felt safe encouraging her. Does former president Clinton feel that Huckabee is already flawed enough that he can't win in a national election? Or does he know something we don't (other than, you know, how to run a country) that might come up later? We're not sure. All we can tell you is you're lucky we're not drinking already.

17. The Clintons have NOT copied Rove. Sorry. They have their own playbook

*grin

[AtomicKitten]

22. The students have learned from the master, grasshopper.

Make no mistake about it.

[jackson_dem]

8. Why didn't Kerry fight the rethugs in 2004 like he is fighting fellow Democrats in 2008?

[rox63]

16. He was planning to fight the rethugs in Ohio in 2004

Until Clinton water-carrier Carville tipped off the * campaign. A phone call to J. Kenneth Blackwell later, a big pile of ballots in Ohio disappeared. And there were suddenly not enough ballots left to change the outcome. It's documented in Bob Woodward's book.

[jackson_dem]

20. He attacks Democrats for allegedly lying. Why was he silent on the swiftboaters?

[rox63]

25. He wasn't silent - the MSM refused to cover multiple occasions he was fighting back against them

But they gave plenty of free airtime to the swift boat liars.

[Occam Bandage]

19. He did. Why don't you bash the Republicans like you bash fellow Democrats?

[Dante_]

21. Why? three words: Shrummie the Rummie

[Bitwit1234]

9. Kerry's always been a bore.

I thought he was the poorest choice the democrats could make..I voted for Dean.

[emilyg]

10. Yep.

[ProSense]

14. Maybe, but no disputing that Bill Clinton has always been a liar! n/t

[Dante_]

24. A liar? In politics that is so rare. Please.

[ProSense]

32. Here:

We love Bill, he has high ratings! We don't care if he is secretive (against full public disclosure) and lies frequently.

[Dante_]

23. Dean was a loser from day one. Lots of noise.

[suston96]

18. It is said that is why he lost the election - borrrring candidate....

What Bill Clinton lies? Why are you still calling other people's opinions you do not agree with "lies"?

[ProSense]

28. Well,

Not really, and http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4198226&mesg_id=4198226">Kerry is right.

[suston96]

29. Kerry lost debates to Bush and your link shows no Clinton "lies".

Sorry, you lose again.

[ProSense]

31. "Kerry lost debates to Bush"

Bill is that you?

LOL!

[mondo joe]

27. Becoming?

:LOL:

[YvonneCa]

30. No...

...Prosense...I don't think they got the joke. :7

[robbedvoter]

33. No. he was a bore long before that. Dude, where's my 2004 vote?

[Nimrod2005]

34. Nope, just being himself, A TRUE HERO! Again!
