FNC | sept., 24, 2006 | me

Posted on 09/24/2006 2:07:59 PM PDT by blogblogginaway

Thought it would be a good idea to discuss the upcoming interview where we already know Clinton loses it with Wallacae here. I for one am anxious to see it.

Mrs. Mendoza has a right to fair representation of her case, as does the prosecution

This is odd wording to me. Perhaps I am a bit hypersensative this morning, but isn't a person innocent until proven guilty? Which sounds very different than what was quoted...

And of course...the duplicity and hypocrisy of the left is, as usual, stunning. If a leftie DemRat displays such hot-tempered bullying tactics, he's considered a winner and a courageous hero, by the idiotic left. But if someone like Bush or another Republican displays their temper like that, they're called every name under the sun and ridiculed by the socialist/leftist extremists. Their duplicity is nothing, if not consistent.

Chris was just stunned by the ferocity of the attack, and Slick's ill-chosen words were just as revealing of his "true colors" as his bullying actions.

Not sure, I spent much of the 90's holding my remote, so as to hit mute whenever that "person" appeared on my TV. He did react in a similar manner when the media cornered him about Monica.

That was leftist 'double-speak' for....."We're going to nail her, make an example of her and make her pay, whether she has a high-priced/capable attorney or NOT".

Clinton should have been happy to have a chance to tell his side, to "set the record straight" [sic] from his point of view."

Instead, he flips out, letting all the bile spill out.

I don't know what's worse - having it be a caclulated ploy on his part, or it being a "sincere" (excuse the term) outpouring of indignation.

VERY immature, and UN-presidential. He'll score points with the moonbats, but further tarnish himself among the rational types. "You've got that smirk on your face, you think you're so clever" indeed!

It reminds me what a travesty it was for him to have served as President.

You're right to thank the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. Otherwise, (shudder) we might have had a President K-- (no, no, I just can't say it).

Slick Willy is a pathological liar (as well as a serial philanderer, alleged rapist & suspected traitor) who is incapable of telling the truth. This is just another effort in the well orchestrated campaign to white wash the gross negligence of Clinton's disgraceful administration as a prelude to the Hildebeast's run in '08.

Here are my thoughts on the Wallace-Clinton showdown.

Bill Clinton can continue to b**ch and moan all he wants to but whether he likes it being said or not and whether he wants to acknowledge it or not, he is responsible for 9/11 with his failed policies.

The attack on the World Trade Center in 1991 was clearly a wake up call for him to realize where the real terrorists threats were coming from. However, instead of choosing to recognize this reality he choose to missuse and abuse his presidential powers and waste his valuable security assets by going after his political opponents and adversaries.

When the Oklahoma City bombing took place on April 19, 1995 he blamed his political opponents and adversaries and decided these people were one who posed the National Security threat to this country.

As he saw it it was we, the Clinton whistleblowers and not the islamofascists who posed a National Security risk to this country.

All this combined with the events surrounding Monica Lewinsky was what resulted in 9/11.

In 2000 this adminstration proposed to spy on his political opponents and advarsaries with things such as Carnvore and Key Encryption. The very same people that supported this blatant effort to violate the fourth amendment rights of good honest decent people like myself with these unconstitutional intitatives are the same people who are trying to get in the way of President Bush trying to track down the real terrorists.

The bottom is over 3000 people lost their lives because of Bill Clinton and his failed policies. He can continue to b***ch and moan all he wants but this issue is not going away and people like myself are going to continue to address this issue.

Bill Clinton belongs in prison. He doesn't belong in an office setting right now.

When you go to the polls this November you might ask yourself this. Is your representative more interested in the security of you and your family or is he/she more interested in preserving the legacy of this narrcicist? If the answer is the latter then it's time to make a change.

Bill Clinton has done enough damage to this country. We simply can't afford to let his hero worshipers set policy for this nation any longer.

Kudos to Chris Wallace for the way he handled this interiew. It'll be interesting to hear his comments on Fox and Friends later this morning.
Regards........

I'll repeat my criticism of the check list. It is first of all one dimensional. It takes a number of characteristics open to dispute and inquiry and comes up with an overall diagnosis that has pejorative characteristics. The whole problem of personality diagnoses is they are soft, fuzzy concepts of which any given one or more characteristics are commonly found in normal people.

Second, the list does not correct for age and maturation.

Third, the list does not discriminate between people on the basis of functioning. By any standard President Clinton is a high functioning person. He has many personality flaws that mirror several personality disorders, but the most likely way to understand him is to use "trait" instead of disorder.

It is generally assumed a psychological disorder requires impaired functioning and/or personal pain. It is much to easy to use a personality diagnosis as a pejorative label rather than firm, hard moral and political judgments as to his behavior.

Hi E.G.C. I totally agree. He put our National Security on the back burner and just enjoyed his stature as President.

Prayers 2008 brings in a Republican who's priority is to continue the WOT and our Security here at home.

I heard Chris Wallace this morning say Clinton wouldn't let it go and make up after the interview. Then Clinton ripped into his staff. O'Reilly is up now, giving Clinton a bunch of excuses for his behavior. Ugh.

I think Clinton hates women because of his mother's past. His treatment of women shows that.

If I were Chris Wallace, at the point in that pic (hell, long before that point), I would've caved in S(l)ick Willie's face even more than it is.

The difference between Bush and bj is quite quite clear:

SELF-DICIPLINE!!!

bj has NONE. He cannot control himself ...ever.

I'm kinda surprised that there hasn't been more said about Bubba trying to physically intimidate Wallace. He looked like he was going to lunge out of his chair and attack CW. This first smelled of a classic Clintonian setup, like his testimony in the Monica case, but after seeing it, and Wallace saying that he went off on his own staff, this was no setup. He was expecting a softball interview and when he got one hardball, he went nuts. For TRIPOTUS, it always has been, and always will be, about the legacy.

Still, I would have loved it if Chris asked him what Sandy Burglar was stuffing in his pants at the National Archives. He might have exploded, tossing chairs, cursing, ranting about Ken Starr and Newt Gingrich and trying to strangle Wallace as Secret Service agents and the camera crew try to restrain him...

I don't recall Trent Lott saying such a thing, do you?

The wag-the-dog obejctions were this:

Klintoon didn't care a flying turd about bin Laden until it became convenient for him to try to bomb bin Laden as a way to divert attention from his legal problems.

Nothing in there about him being obsessed with bin Laden. Lots there about him being obsessed with his Monica problem.

If Klintoon brought it up first, clearly he went into this interview with a "I'm gonna take it to 'em [the vast right-wingers]" over that Path to 9/11 stuff.

He was itching for a fight and KO'd himself.

"It is generally assumed a psychological disorder requires impaired functioning and/or personal pain. It is much to easy to use a personality diagnosis as a pejorative label rather than firm, hard moral and political judgments as to his behavior."

Impaired functioning/personal pain is not always easy for the casual observer to see. As you stated in a prior post, studies of interactions in personal settings are necessary for a firm diagnosis. However, this does not mean that observant individuals cannot pick up on abnormal reactions. Those who watch an individual carefully over a number of years are very often able to ascertain specifics that trigger various behaviors. It is actually easier to say someone seems immoral or he/she simply has political motives.

Many bible fundamentalists refuse to accomodate the concept of psychological deficiencies or abnormalities, preferring to say sin is sin.

Perhaps it only matters if we want to believe someone can be "cured." But for that, the client would have to acknowledge a problem. In this case, it is highly doubtful that would happen because it would seem unlikely there would be a base of support for change.

By the way, can you recall backwards the names of the U.S. presidents? ;)
