Actually many of them were on TV not that many years ago....demanding that the Clinton Justice Dept. sue the pants off the tobacco companies, to punish them for their own irresponsible choices that they had made for years.

It wasn't conservatives cheering them on. At least they limited themselves to the companies involved and didn't try to shame John Q Public.

No, but they still demanded resources funded by the American taxpayer to go after the tobacco co's.

They also used aspects of the shady Clinton Justice Dept. to twist laws and railroad the cases through. Much to the happiness of a large Democrat benefactor -the American Trial Lawyers Assn. Smokers were stripped of any responsibility in the matter.

Up next: Junk food producers and fast food restaurants.
