I like that the Clintons are somehow skilled at covertly murdering people without anyone finding out, while at the same time terrible at keeping their own secrets, so all these people need to be killed. ---

I’ve seen defenders of the ‘Clinton Death List’ and they are pretty arrogant S.O.B.'s. You’re talking about people who are happy to assume that Vince Foster’s wife was willing to accept paltry bribes to say her husband committed suicide. Same folks claim to know better than psychologists about people’s state’s of mind before a suicide. They gleefully point to people saying Foster “seemed happy” right before his suicide, not realizing that happens when a depressed person has made up their mind to commit the act. Nope, in their minds ‘seeming happy’ means they were happy and therefore could not possibly suffer from depression. The fact is, the people who even started the list have stated it was just a pure defamation tactic, and they just grabbed onto anyone with a Kevin Bacon number to the Clintons lower than 4 who died. ---

Those deaths are nothing more then a coincidence. Heck just look at all the people you’ve known. Out of all the people I know, a few have killed themselves, at least one has been killed by the police, a few died of medical issues, suicide. So there is no there, there. That said I think the Clinton’s are fine upstanding citizens who would never break the law in anyway. I mean why take the chance? ---

Uh, I assume that’s sarcastic; they’re not the evil supervillains that the right wing CTs make them out to be but they’ve both had their share of legal difficulties. They’re not “crooks” but not perfect. ---
