Hello. I'm A Citizen Journalist With The Free Republic

Hello. I'm a citizen journalist with the Free Republic. I have read about ongoing attempts by members of former President Clinton's entourage to enlist historians in an effort to re-habilitate his image in the history books.

Given that you were one of the 400 signatories to the 'Historians in Defense of the Constitution' during the Clinton impeachment, I would like to put a question to you:

Are you going to be part of the ongoing effort to re-habilitate Mr. Clinton's historical image?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Thank you for your time.

=====================================

Report back here with the response to your e-mail. A non-response will be reported with the traditional main-stream media smear ("Historian So-and-so did not respond to repeated requests for comment"), and the historian in question may be presumed to be working for the Clintonite historical revision campaign:

Many hands make light work.

The links are on Rongstad's website, which I believe is quite active.

The key is to research the email addresses for the historians, and post them back here so we can pile on.

Most of them will have active email addresses at their current sinecures, being academics and all that.

Of course, there are some few Freepers who are averse to a little bit of "sweat equity". Are you one of those?

This page is "historians" Abrams-Dorsey. Once you get there, Rongstad has numerous links to the other historians and other information on this issue.

The pages are a "must-have" for any serious "Clinton-hater".

#2 of 10: "Virtually every link is dead..............nice job!"

"How's 'bout you bite me.........twice!"

"Hey, research this."

If I didn't know better, 'hole, I'd swear you were trying to torpedo this thread. Have you got payroll issues none of the rest of us know about? :-)

Dear Mr. Cowboy:

Considering the fact that the Clinton years gave us a booming economy, less crime, less teenage pregnancy, welfare reform, a successful war in Bosnia, and at least an attempt to bring peace in the Middle East before everything spun out of control -- I do not view his reputation in needed of rehabilitating.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. H. Baggett

I would love to answer these claims..... Can you guys help me come up with a good response?

the Clinton years gave us a booming economy

The booming economy that President Reagan set up only continued during the "Clinton Bubble" (or the "Bubba Bubble") because Clinton and his minions took campaign cash from the likes of Enron, Global Crossing, and Arthur Andersen to "look the other way" in their regulatory capacity.

In other words, the "Bubba Bubble" was fed by bribing Clinton Administration officials.

BTW - if Ms. Baggett takes issue with that description, ask her how her taxpayer-funded college retirement portfolio has been doing since mid-2000. (Yes, Big Bill WAS still in office at that time!!!)
