Bill Clinton Takes on 9/11 Truthers at Hillary Fundraiser

Bill was a lot more forceful with Republicans/journalists who dared ask improper questions. His tempered response “How-Dare-You” is not the sort of response Bill gave to anything. Profanity and Secret Service bulls on your back were more common.

Maybe he’s been preparing for it whenever, wherever it happened so they could avoid a “Don’t Taz Me Bro”-Kerry moment. But this was not an off the cuff response (even if no one put the protester up to it).

[weegee]

The man lied under oath, blamed talk radio for the OKC bombing, demonized a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, and sent the FBI on a deliberate wild goose chase hunting down a phony rash of "racist" Southern church fires.

And yet people still trust what comes out of his mouth.

He warns that it could give "minnesota" a bad name. Convenient little game he's playing.

Just like CAIR declares that the Islamic terrorism we are experiencing around the world is overstated and not the result of Islam at all (they are "not" following Islam, Islam means peace) and that they are lone nuts with no state funding and no networked alliances or cells, the DNC is proclaiming that they don't have 9-11 truthers deep within the pary base. No, that is not who support the Democrats. No sir.

But the Democrats continue to give Code Pinkos Congressional passes to hearings and even goes to bat to get their DNC Brownshirts released from jail on the disruption charges.

WHEN WILL THE DEMOCRATS PUBLICLY DENOUNCE THE 9-11 TRUTH MOVEMENT AS AN ANTI-SEMITIC COMMUNIST FUNDED PRO-PALESTINIAN NON-PEACE MOVEMENT?

They'd lose votes. They won't do it.

Meanwhile the Clinton Administration DID clearly engage in a conspiracy to destroy documents that might have reflected poorly on his administration's handling of national security. WHAT DID SANDY BURGLAR DESTROY?

[Just Lori]

Wow. In the span of a week, I've agreed with Bill Maher and Bill Clinton.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[weegee]

When will Hillary make the same statement publicly? Or does she wait for the need to “respond” to a question?

Why not introduce a resolution to denounce the 9-11 truthers as she signed a letter to denounce Rush Limbaugh over a phony report of phony soldiers?

The truthers ARE her base and she will not turn them off. Bill is filing the roll of John Edwards’ cancer stricken wife.

I keep wondering when Bill will claim to have cancer to get Hillary some sympathy votes.

[weegee]

They’ve let the 9-11 truther movement go on too long without denouncing it to have any credibility now.

And in the case of Maher, he considered the 9-11 hijackers to be brave soldiers, much braver than our own troops who are cowards who push a button from within a plane and drop a bomb on a city. Of course Maher will admit that they DID act. He’s still a scumbag.

[Just Lori]

I know. You’re right. It’s a sad fact.

[Publius6961]

Yes, there is a group even more evil than the Clintons. The socialist fascists of the ilk that run and attend our colleges. Minneapolis is full of them. To them, the Clintons are only marginally better than the Bushs, if at all. They are PISSED with Hillary about the war.

There isn't. That's the entire issue. The war in a nutshell.

The amateurs are engaged in tactical thinking, they want results NOW!

Hillary is a strategic thinker. First things first. Get elected, then the mask and the gloves come off.

[mware]

Agreed, here is a flash from the past.

During his 1994 visit to the hallowed beaches of Normandy, Bill Clinton staged perhaps the most disgraceful photo-op in the history of the presidency. As Michael Hutchison noted, "The lone President arranging a pile of suspicious rocks into a cross on Normandy Beach while a perfectly-framed navy battleship just happens to float in the background." The interesting part of all of this is that photos of the beach only minutes earlier had shown no rocks nearby. They had been planted there by Clinton staffers for the phony photo op.

It got even more transparent later on when Clinton "noticed that the small flag on a soldier's tombstone had apparently blown over and then rolled itself up; frowning that exaggerated frown and shaking his head in disgust, he unfurls the flag, plants it and salutes it while photographers shoot video of this "private moment" from behind the cemetary's fence." What a guy.

I’m not sure what to believe with this stuff. My wife is convinced it’s a ploy to make Hillary look more attractive to moderate dems and RINO’s. I don’t for a minute put it past Billary to cook this whole thing up to make them more palatable to certain voters, especially with the weak GOP line-up.

[jim35]

You make a good point. I was not even suspicious until my wife pointed out that it could be a set-up. But looking back, you’re right. He (Bill) seemed to be completely ready to respond to the hecklers, and they did seem much less rabid than usual.
I think it was totally staged.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Very funny!...Bubbah gets the Bronx cheer!

[jim35]

That was my first take, too. But more and more, as I remember how civil those “truthers” were, compared to the rabid dogs in Maher’s audience, and how well prepared Bill was to respond to them, the more I think it may well have been staged.
That doesn’t make the fact of an out-of-control lunatic fringe who will even attack dems any less true. Both can be true.
The left is reaping what it has sown on the one hand.
And Billary staged a fake heckler to take advantage of it, on the other hand.

[Just mythoughts]

I wondered if this was a clintons set up... I mean there would not be anyone in his audience allowed to ask old Bill what Sandy the Burglar took to hide from that 911 Commission..

There is nothing ‘right’ about these loony toons and the Clintons are masters of deception....

[L98Fiero]

“and how well prepared Bill was to respond to them,”

That is his forte’. That is what got him elected twice. Like it or not, the man is good at it.

[Loud Mime]

The fact of the matter is that the Feds knew about the flight training of the bin Laden loonies months before 9-11. They knew. Some FBI agents were screaming about it, but the top would not do anything about it. This happened during the Clinton years.

Go over the Phoenix memos, you’ll see.

Clinton is playing games with selective data. He should have come out and stopped the political gamesmanship that hindered Bush’s initiation into office so W could have immediately focused on problems of the nation....but when has Clinton been principled to anything other than his own self?

Hold on to your compliments. Even a stopped clock is correct two times a day.

[bboop]

Thanks for posting. Perhaps Bill Clinton will be the next 9/11 Democrat, votes for Hilary but registered Republican. hahahah.

[isthisnickcool]

Gads! This is like accidently picking up an old stale beer and taking a sip instead of the fresh cold one you just opened up.

Bleech! This is the same old crap from the Clinton gang. They bore me to tears they are so predictable and at the same time I find these two horrifying.

This was staged, of course it was staged, everything the Clinton's do is staged. Hell, their damn MARRIAGE is staged. The only thing real about Bill Clinton is what he spewed all over Monica Lesinsky. Everything else is just show business.

And speaking of Monica Lewinsky when the heck is anyone going to start bringing her up? Because it's not just Hillary they want to elect. Bill the impeached is part of the package. Which is exactly why they pulled this little stunt so that like little puppies people look at Bill Clinton with this "truthers dog biscuit" in his hand and people wag their tails at him. Her sheeple, here sheeple, Bill has a biscuit for you. See! Bill is a nice man, eat the biscuit.

I mean really gang, anyone that agrees that Bill Clinton has the moral authority to lecture anyone else on any subject is a complete idiot.

Hang around, because Bill and Hillary have a whole big box of biscuits they want to feed to their puppies.

[jim35]

True, true. It seems a little serendipitous though, don’t you think?

[Hillbillary]

“During his 1994 visit to the hallowed beaches of Normandy”

And the photo op where they were slow dancing on a beach somewhere without any music. I wonder why they repeatedly do that? Phoney marriage perhaps?

What I noticed in this instance was what was missing, the extreme red face, and the shaking, wagging finger. When Willie Jefferson blows a fuse, he dives off the deep end, he doesn’t remain calm, gather thoughts and come out with a girlie “how dare you”. Quite obviously pre-staged.

[Eastbound]

" . . . girlie “how dare you”. "

Reminded me of Al Gore bouncing around on the stage looking menacingly toward Bush during the debate. Phony and staged.
