He finally said something right

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

Then why did Sandy Burger have to steal documents from the 9-11 commission.

Why did Atah and Hanjour train in the US near pilot Burlingame's city?

Why do pilots say that Attah and Hanjour and the others couldn't have done the maneuvers?

Why was Able Danger ignored?

Why were there simulated defense drills going on at the same time confusing FAA controllers?

Why did they report that 7 fell before it fell?

Why were there reports of explosions from the buildings?

Why did the Towers fall so fast in freefall and explode outwards rather than like the "pancake" theory?

[Cincinna]

Slick feigned the same self righteous indignation when he said “How dare you?” to Jerry Brown, at a Democrat Presidential debate in 1992. Brown questioned Hillary’s involvement in shady deals, and Clinton when into this mode.

These 911 conspiracy kooks have a right to their opinion, crazy as it may be. Slick’s lines are getting old and tired, just as he is.

[wayoverontheright]

How many opportunities has Bill Clinton, his wife, and many other Democrats had to repudiate these ridiculous (and far from harmless to our country) claims, prior to that evening?

It is instructive to me that only when such injurious lunacy interrupts him from running his trap that it deserves a rebuke. The "inside job" bombs have been lobbed at America by the extreme left (and apparently from the right, see post #2) incessantly, since 9-12- 2001. Six years. Way too late, as far as I'm concerned.

[sure_fine]

did hilarys campaign pay him his $250,000.00 speaking fee?

[prairiebreeze]

Big deal. Austin Hill's star-struck love and admiration for former President Bill Clinton is obvious even as he does acknowlege a "credibilty gap" of his former. And if Bush or Cheney said something like "how dare you" from the bully pulpit, the press would scream freedom of speech violations till the cows come home.

Additionally Reagan once told a heckler to "shut up" as I recall.

[ovrtaxt]

Wow, for the first time in what, almost 16 years, I actually agree with Bill Clinton.

It’s definitely the end times. What’s next, stars falling from the sky?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Credit where credit is due: Thank you President Clinton! President Bill Clinton governed as a moderate republican compared to what his wife will be, if, Heaven forbid, she is ever elected president. We MUST NOT let that happen!

[Nathan Zachary]

Who was the heckler, Nazi Pelosi?

[lentulusgracchus]

He finally said something right

Sistah Souljah redux. You can bet your life that he parsed the politics of every syllable first. And that he had an idea he'd run into some laughingstocks like those demonstrators. His advance people don't play games, they know the ground first -- and he cuts them no slack.

[Bernard]

It's all very nice for Bill Clinton to do this. Too bad his wife, who is running for President, doesn't do that as well. And too bad she treated General Petreaus so shamefully.

I wonder how hard Hillary will have to rub in order to get that Bill Clinton magic to rub off on her.

[lowbridge]

But by choosing to confront the malcontents, rather than ignoring them, Clinton accomplished something noteworthy.

Sheesh. Doesn't townhall.com, and FReepers, know a plant when they see one?

[pigsmith]

I see it a little different.

“An inside job?” Clinton retorted, with indignation in his voice. “How dare you. How dare you! It was NOT an inside job!”

And to the person so cynical about America as to assert that our nation’s government perpetrated the terrorist attacks on its own people, Clinton’s message was quite clear indeed: don’t you dare say such things about our country My Presidency.

Reading this article, it sounds more to me like Mr. Bill was indignant at the gall of this unwashed heckler to show anything but the standard genuflecting behavior he and his little cookie-baking missuz have grown so fond of.

Not to worry, though, the bowing and scraping done by the writer of the article made up for that.

(...and no, I am not defending in any way the comments made by the heckler)

[OldSmaj]

Bill Clinton’s presidency was far from flawless...

Oh, let me count the ways...

However, what he said in this particular instance, albeit unwittingly, does more to destroy the veracity of the "troofers", than anything President Bush has done or said to this point.

But I remain convinced that the 'Toon says or does nothing that will not be to his advantage, therefore, what he said is reduced accordingly and he still sucks.

[mware]

spontaneous moment

Spontaneous moment, my @ss.

[Pietro]

This whole heckler thing sounds like an inside job.

[kabar]

Staged?

[SAMS]

“President Clinton chose to confront the hecklers head-on”

Yeah, he’ll confront hecklers and talk tough to them - but when confronted by actual f’in terrorists, he curls up in a ball.

[the invisib1e hand]

at least what? he was willing to say it? to feign righteous indignation rooted in false pride over an incident that his bumbling freaking hands allowed?

Where do hurl?

[montag813]

The scary thing is that this “inside job” viewpoint is WIDESPREAD among the Soros fringe of the Democrat party. I once infiltrated a DailyKos event in NYC, and was stunned to hear how many of them believed that 9/11 was a conspiracy by Bush for oil or Israel or both.

[mountainfolk]

I agree with those posters on this thread and another yesterday who believe this was a set up by the Clinton campaign. Until we know the identity of the hecklers, as well as their backgrounds, I cannot accept that Clinton's reaction was anything but another political ploy to soften the impression that the TRUTHERS speak for the RATS, while making himself appear to be a strong authority figure, which he is not. Republicans need to sift everything that happens with the Clintons through a cynical, fool us once etc., lens. Their machine leaves nothing to chance, is calculated and moves unrelentingly toward their goal of electing Hillary to the Presidency.
