Here is a bit more of a timeline. I can’t vouch for every single line of it, but it is how I found the *LA Times *article above.
As is usually the case with Clinton, it is a case of him making a public statement, and then its being unraveled as a tissue of misrepresentations, false framings, and outright lies.

Probably. He’s a politician, after all.
Clinton’s dodge was based on political connections with Senator Fulbright, who he had interned with several years before. Not that much of a difference in my mind.
Boy, you said a mouthful there. Probably the greatest pure politician of his generation.
I am always surprised that he hasn’t died yet. Running for re-election was the mainspring of his life, and now it’s gone. All he can do is watch the money roll in, and get blowjobs when Hilary is out of town.
It would be a great retirement for anyone but him.

Look! Over there!
IT’S CLINTON!!!
A diversionary tactic from The Usual Gang of Idiots as expected as it is tiresome.
Either Bryan Ekers is an Idiot, or you are.
I know which way I’m betting.

So says The Magic 8-Ball of Idiocy. When it comes to who said what, you’ve shown that you are the last person anyone should consult, memo boy.
I wasn’t intending to invoke Clinton as a distraction. I only mentioned him as an afterthought.
Personally, I think putting him back into the Oval Office wouldn’t be a bad idea. And that’s the last I’ll say of him in this thread.
Well, certainly the voters thought so. They elected Clinton president over a combat veteran - twice. Of course, they then did the same thing for Bush twice. And they then elected President Obama over a combat veteran - one Bush had previously beaten in a Republican nomination contest.
So probably the one thing we can learn out of all of this is that as some people on message boards argue over who met and didn’t meet their “obligations” (generally in a partisan fashion) voters will ignore this and choose who they want.
Could you talk about Hillary a bit so we can at least keep the name alive?
Which was rather obvious, which is why you aren’t grouped with TUGOI that used it as an excuse to change the subject.
You, on the other hand, would need an IQ boost of forty points at least before you could fill out the membership application.

Another spewing from The 8-Ball, folks-collect them all.
edited to add-Read any good Halperin memos lately?
Perhaps because you are the first person to ask? Unlike in your thread, the majority of people here accept at least the general thrust of the OP’s argument, and thus less is required to persuade them that their information is correct. Other than Shodan and perhaps you, no one in this thread regards the OP’s claim as extraordinary, so no one has thought to require large amounts of proof.
I also believe it is not an unusual position to posit that someone that has invoked one type of treachery might be involved in another similar type. This really is just one step above what Rove usually did.
This could be just the break the Kerry campaign is looking for!
At first I thought you meant to say “…just one step below what Rove usually did”, but on second thought, maybe you had it right the first time.
I think Rove is too smart to have done this. Why risk bringing up that whole can of worms again? This is like the thread going on in the Elections Forum right now where at least one poster thinks Obama’s new mandate for contraception in health insurance is a chess move to force the Republicans to back an unpopular position. We don’t live in a Foundation society where brilliant sociologists can accurately predict mass behaviors that accurately.
Heh, I actually distracted myself and forgot to reply to this:
Really?
And it would have worked - if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

He would “risk” it because that can of worms was already opened, and the ploy worked in both burying that can deep and ruining the careers of people he disliked. People who are “too smart” do shit like this and get away with it all the time.
