"What we need to do is say, 'What we're after is the abuses, but we want to hold up the entrepreneurial giant that made this economy grow in the 1990s,'" the two-term president said
Most of this corporate scandal stuff ocurred during his administration, with Xlinton leading the way by example.
Much of the party's weakness now, he said, can be blamed on Democrats' failure to stand up for each other when they are attacked by other politicians and "extreme right-wing elements in the media."
That's the problem with Demmies. For decades, they haven't had to speak coherently and powerfully, because they were never challenged in the media. Now the party is facing a little opposition from some conservative sources. But even though they make up a very small fraction of the media, Demons fall apart, because they're not even used to that much criticism.

If the Demorats keep this guy as their spokesman (and they don't seem to have any other brilliant plans at the moment), I am gonna die laughing.

Right-wing media? The liberals have a virtual lock on the media. Now that there are a very few conservative media sources, the DemonRats are crying because they're not batting 1.000.

Hmmmmmmmmm.
Shouldn't the RICO statutes kick in here somewhere?
Seems like the same mindless attacks are being made by all the usual suspects...

This is strange...
Didn't clinton, in another venue, concede that the democrats 'had' the 'mainstream media' while conservatives dominated many of the newer media modes such as FOX News and the internet?
Is this a case of clinton playing fast and loose with his own previous version of the truth, to suit what he judges to be the audience's expectations, or has he been smoking so much di-no-mite rope that the details are starting to fuzz up a bit?

The title Clinton Attacks "Right Wing Media" is bogus.

,
but we want to hold up the entrepreneurial giant that made this economy grow in the 1990s,'That's what you say, but what you guys do indicates that the entrepreneurs and the employers of this country are the avowed, declared enemies of the Democratic Party.
To: GulliverSwift
The Democratic Leadership Council's ideology of a "third way" between the traditional left and right is credited with propelling Clinton to the presidency in 1992. No, it was Ross Perot's "third party" that siphoned votes from Bush Sr. that put Der Slickmeister in the White House. After that, no matter how hard we tried, we were not able to "propel" him out.

It is difficult for us to comprehend, but it is important to understand that most leftists are SO FAR to the left that even a lot of the media that we could label as "liberal", they label as "extreme right wing."

Ya know I never understood why Clinton gets so much press and admiration from Dems. He never got a mandated vote from the American people (over 50%) (ALgore did better than Clinton in the election) W. got more votes than him. The GOP was in charge of executing domestic policy, having both houses. The media raves about Clinton, and I just don't see it.
The only way W. will lose this next election is the way his father did..... someone like Perot diverts and waters down the conservative vote.

Other than this sentence Much of the party's weakness now, he said, can be blamed on Democrats' failure to stand up for each other when they are attacked by other politicians and "extreme right-wing elements in the media." , can you cite for me where in this article you posted that has Clinton mentioning the media, let alone "attacking" the right wing of it.

TIME AGAIN FOR THIS WONDERFUL OLD CHESTNUT.
If the DummyRATS would just sit down and shut up, we could retire this thing.

"Al-Qaida should be our top priority," Clinton said. "Iraq is important, but the terror network is more urgent in terms of its threat to our security." True, until an Iraqi nuke goes off in Harlem. Then, Iraq would be most important; but we'd have done too little too late.
Just like your attention to Al-Quaida, Mr. President: TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
To: GulliverSwift
"Al-Qaida should be our top priority," Clinton said"...[
Four Years too late.].
Putz.
I strongly encourage the Democrats to gravitate towards your former President....then, the Democratic Party will be dead.
One thing is obvious. The Clinton and their mafia have come through the election clean. They will now be running the show.
To: DWSUWF
What is missing from this and other news stories about Clinton is " . . . the disgraced former president said." How can you do what he did, get impeached for it and not be "the disgraced former president"? The answer is because the media is overwhelmingly liberal and they don't see him as a disgrace. But they cannot print or say the name Nixon without "disgraced" first. What did Nixon do that was a disgrace? I ask you.
