MoveOn.org Demands Free Republic Remove Thread Comparing Clinton to Clinton

FRESNO Conservative activism community Free Republic is reportedly under fire for posting several vanity threads which compare former President William Jefferson Clinton to the tyrant/socialist/adulterer President William Jefferson Clinton. This, in response to conservative critics who have taken issue with a Moveon.org political commercial contest which showcased a spot comparing President George W. Bush with Chancellor Adolf Hitler of the Third Reich.
Free Republic has finally gone over the line, said MoveOn spokeswoman Gloria Harper. The despicable notion of comparing a leader to his actual record is beyond reprehensible its nauseating, alarming, and quite frankly, dirty pool.
Free Republic, which has long been a critic of former President Clinton, is unarguably biased towards truth, according to media analysts, and threatens to upset the environment of thuggery, immaturity, and third-rate comedian pundits carefully sculpted by the Democratic grass roots movement.
One thread, titled Clinton Was Not a Good President unabashedly accused the formerPresident of having served two terms and being impeached by the United States Congress while the Taliban trained al Qaeda to plow planes into skyscrapers.
Another thread, titled Bill Clintons Record, accuses the President of selling overnight stays in the Lincoln bedroom and allowing nuclear research security to become so lax, Chinese spys were able to waltz into Los Alamos and accelerate their nuclear program roughly forty years with one theft.
Were not going to live in the past, said one MoveOn supporter who asked only to be identified as Madonna. The Chinese are in the middle of an energy crisis. How will they find the fuel to support their manufacturing industry and the complete and utter destruction of Taiwan? Why should we keep such secrets?
The fact is, explained Harper, there is no reason for us not to believe that President wouldnt incinerate 12 million Jews if given the opportunity. Furthermore, he is clearly in favor of bringing capitalism to countries which are perfectly happy drinking cholera-infested water and succumbing to the bird flu in large numbers. The comparison is fair.
Free Republic had no comment except to re-iterate its position not to remove threads which compare William Jefferson Clinton to William Jefferson Clinton.

Actually comparing him with Stalin would be worse, but no liberal would say so. The Georgia tyrant not only killed more people in his prisopn camps, but left the Soviet Union open to destruction by allying himself with Hitler. Hitler's failure owed nothing to Stalin.

Yes! Every time I hear a Russian complaining about how many people they lost in WWII, I want to say:
- Sorry your treaty with Hitler didn't work out.
- Sorry you decapitated your army's leadership in a paranoid purge just before Barbarossa began.
- Sorry you used to clear minefields for your armor by having the infantry run through first.
Might you have a little responsibility for the death toll here?

ouch, got me. You must admit moveon is just leftist enough to demand it.

MoveOn.org is just upset because they were rightfully dumped on by outraged Jewish Americans for their reckless Bush-Is-Hitler ads; even Liberals like Abe Foxman were upset with them.
...As for FreeRepublic threads on Clinton, I've never seen anyone put a swastika and moustache on any of his pictures, or accuse him of committing a holocaust.
MoveOn.org, just get over it. You guys are just a bunch of losers.

TO the fool who mouthed this outrage: The USA fought the North Vietnamese and the North Koreans who were both supported by the Red Chinese. Oh, and let us not forget the love affair that Red Chinese have with freedom loving liberals-just look at Tianamen Square. And you want to level the playing field? You are a traitor for tyrants.

I've seen lots of clinton/hitler photos on free republic
the difference is that fr doesn't endorse individual posts
moveon accepted bush/hitler ads as finalists for their "contest"
