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 – it’s 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 Clinton’s 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.

“We’re 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 wouldn’t 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 it’s position not to remove threads which compare William Jefferson Clinton to William Jefferson Clinton.

[Professional Engineer]

Humor break ping

[gridlock]

You forgot to close the < sarc> tag. There are some here who will take this seriously.

[BSunday]

I for one am "deeply saddened"...or is it "series" ?

[razorback-bert]

Clinton was impeached?

I need to come out from under my rock more often.

Every time a joke bombs, the baby Jesus cries. He's crying a lot now, so cut it out.

[cripplecreek]

You forgot to close the < sarc> tag. There are some here who (have already taken ) this seriously.

[zlala]

This is HUGH news!

[Paradox]

Hah, not bad. What's even funnier are the joking responses by various freepers who are pretending to think this is serious.. ahem...

[longtermmemmory]

So now Moveon.org is attacking the right of free speech. The can't win in the marketplace of ideas, so they censor.

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.

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!!! Are you giving a big hint here? MoveOn.org is so nasty that if they had done this it wouldn't surprise me!

[Prodigal Son]

LOL, good job Dirk!

ROFL — It'd be funnier if it wasn't so close to the truth...

[OldFriend]

It's more than serious......it's series.......and after my shower, I'll splain it all to you.
