Wow, man. I think you're SERIOUSLY suffering from some false parity syndrome issues, here. Truth is, Bill Clinton is NOT George W. Bush. In no way, shape or form is he that. Unless you have something substantial that you know about Clinton that you'd like to share with the rest of us?

Pfff... seriously? The sentiment expressed comes perilously close to - nay, it IS - the kind of "y'all sheeple just don't understand - they're ALL EXACTLY ALIKE and EVIL!!!" false equivalency bullshit that we must ever strive to fight against.

Historically, the Clintons have been VICTIMS of evil, not perpetrators of it.

I will happily delete the fucking article if you want to delete all your responses to it and clean the whole thread of this nonsense, just let me know.

Others may say, "But that's good advice, Rethugs are scum!" Yeah, I know. They were wrong yesterday. They'll be wrong tomorrow. They were wrong at 9am, they are wrong at 9pm. But, they might have been right today, this afternoon. Elijah Cummings was right, too, don't get me wrong. And yeah, whatever arms-smuggling or torture was happening through that consulate, Stevens and Hicks and that other weepy guy probably have some of its blood on their hands, too. Hell, Hicks might be a neo-Nazi crisis actor intent to bring down a black president, for all I know. But something bad, very bad, happened at Benghazi. When you hear testimony about stand-down orders and jets not flying fast enough...your ears don't perk up? I watched the entire hearing. Just for the record: Saw not one single nose tap thing. This committee, this oversight committee, might be filled with Republican douches, Democratic douches, but maybe these are some of the few douches in Congress with a modicum of integrity. Even (yuck) Issa, the car alarm dude. So fucking annoying and usually wrong. But, what if he can't be totally bought? What if Trey Gowdy doesn't play ball for anyone? Well, at least when he's in the "opposition party", of course. Stephen Lynch is there. He indulges in some nepotism back here, a little, looks like a febrile alcoholic, lol, but I voted for him, and now I'm happy he lost, as he'll represent Southie well by belonging to this committee. Chaffetz's tears might be herpetological, but what happened in Benghazi may yet be something to cry about. It does make a difference. Brace yourselves Democrat-loyalists, because those wingnuts seem to have had half of a point all this time. Benghazi may be bigger than Watergate. Not nearly as big as Iran/Contra or 9/11 or other atrocious scandals, not least of which the financial variety, and maybe Benghazi was just infighting and backstabbing between crooks and craven spooks playing a dirty game, still playing it, but it's still big. Will the world be better off if this helps the Republicans take office? Hell fucking no, lol, the opposite. But. Is there no other way we may vote? There is! Stay tuned!


What parity?

Clinton? Not bad? And you've read about Iran/Contra, Mena?
And you missed all the Republican-y things his team did?
Financial deregulation? 9/11 "ball-dropping"?

Hey now. You're not the first to make a mistake like this. The Conservative Movement (capital C capital M) gets its editorial footsoldiers from some particularly nasty fever swamps. It's not up to you to drain every one of them, but thankfully there are places like this, RigInt, that help us navigate the waters with a little help from our friends.

That parity.


For shits and giggles, a possible timeline of presidents since 1963.
Next to each, a guesstimated grade on a scale of 1-to-10 re: impeachable offenses.

LBJ - 9.5
Nixon - 10
Ford - 10
Carter - 4
Reagan - 10
Bush - 10
Clinton - 7
Bush - 11
Obama - 5-ish

What parity?

Thanks my man, appreciate that. It was a mistake and honest one. You will never find anything antisemitic, fascist or anything remotely such by me anywhere, I dont roll that way. I frankly dont have time to track down every single source I find on google, I have to work for a living and todays media is some murky water, you dont know what is what anymore.


Maybe we should all stop driving Ford cars too?


It would have been great if someone just sent me a PM explaining the situation and I would have kindly listened and handled it appropriately but it didnt happen that way. Its done and I am over it.
