And Bill Clinton would have us believe that he was one of history's best presidents when he spent the 1990s hiking taxes, pretending terrorism didn't exist and opening the flood gates to illegal aliens. I guess when you don't really believe any of those are a problem or an issue, then it's easy to make jokes about them. Take note Americans.
Video of the speech. Also he says that Iraq was a moderate muslim Democracy until we attacked.

Just checking.
This is dem racism and will get a complete pass by the media.
I guess this is Billy Jeff's way of dealing with his guilt over the fact that his do-nothing presidency made all three of these things worse on his watch: terrorism, taxes and illegal immigration.
He is the worst THING that ever happened to us!!
GOP right again!
Sit down Mr Clinton your time is up.
This couldn't be the X President that was held in impeachment???
This couldn't be the X President that raped and humilated how many women???
This couldn't be the X President that has a girl toy in Canada????
This couldn't be the X President that has a problem with 'nose candy'?????
This couldn't be the X President that spent his whole presidency on trying to find bin laden????
Nope didn't think this was that X President.....(extreme Sarcasm)
Still have my old editor's pen
I just heard this on Rush. Clinton didn't admit to terrorism when the first WTC was bombed in 1993, so it's not terribly surprising he's joking about terrorism now.
Any Republican who stays home tomorrow can take this to the bank: A Democrat majority will force us to leave Iraq and our military men and women will have died in vain. It will embolden the jihadists and convince them beyond all shadow of a doubt that Americans are cut and runners and can't tolerate body bags.
If that's the face of America you want to show to those trying to kill you and your children, then by all means stay home.
Perhaps not terrorists themselves, but plenty of terrorist sympathizers/appeasers. Just look in the mirror, Bill.
Bill knows terrorism.....after all, he DID marry Her Thighness!
There really is a dispute about how much danger we are in from terrorists. People throw out statistics like you're more likely to be struck by lightning than to be a victim of terrorist attack, and I think this is what's Clinton's joke was based on. Islamic terrorists, taken all together, are not a very powerful bunch, and the idea that they could bring our society and economy to a halt does seem far fetched (although there are easily imagined plausible ways they might do just that). But I think the "there's nothing really to worry about" crowd and those who see a clear and present danger are talking past each other. Both are right in their own way, but they are comparing apples and oranges. On the one hand, right now the terrorists are weak, but on the other hand, they are getting stronger. But the real difference in outlook can be measured by reflecting that, in World War II, very few American people were killed by the Japanese (until we began to pursue them, and then many, many thousands of Americans died). If, after Pearl Harbor, we had looked at the odds of further Japanese killing of Americans, it probably wasn't that large. The danger faced by an average American was probably as low as being struck by lighning. If we had ceded them dominance of the Pacific, they probably would have left us alone, at least until they had digested East Asia. But we didn't analyze things in terms of what made for our immediate safety. Instead we refused to submit to mistreatment and, even though we paid a terrible price, we wound up better off. Those who today incessantly worry about whether what we have done has made us safer are too focussed on short term dangers and costs and too neglectful of the longer term dangers we face.
Yep, Bubba, that pretty much sums it up.
Rush hit just the right tone on this, just a few minutes ago.
And, I'm paraphrasing:
Of course Clinton can make jokes about terrorists, he has never taken Islamic terrorism seriously; not when he was President and not now.
And, in my view, just add his personal reason for making lite of the terrorists: his most frequent fund raising activity is making million $$$ speaches at Middle East venues, and north American confabs on Middle East themes, in which Clinton's payment comes out of a multi-million $$$ fund provided to a California political lobbyist - fund that the lobbyist got specifically from Middle East governments and individuals.
You can bet Bill and his Middle East paymasters are using the process to launder their money into Bill's personal accounts, so that he can pay it as his personal contributions to Hillary's 2008 election campaign, and avoid the legal problem of foreign campaign contributions.
And, what do you imagine - with respect to Middle East policies - they are expecting to get from Bill and Hillary?
And you thought only Kerry and Teddy were treasonous!!!
No outrage over Clinton's joke, but when Bush pretended to look for WMD at that WH press banquet or whatever, the MSM went nuts.
Looks to me like Clinton told the truth for once.
Given the chance Democrats WILL tax us to death.
Put into power, the feckless perfidy of the liberals WILL embolden the terrorists and increase both their numbers and their proximity.
Seeing how democrats are courting the illegal vote as well as trying to get the vote back for felons to relieve pressure off the poor dead people who are called on year after year ny the RATS, an illegal around every corner isn't hard to image with a RAT administration or congressional control.
