Stay classy, Slick Willie:
At a later event today in Steubenville, OH, Bill Clinton snapped hard at an anti-abortion protestor who had interrupted him.
“I gave you the answer. We disagree with you," Clinton said. "You wanna criminalize women and their doctors and we disagree... I reduced abortion… Tell the truth, tell the truth… If you were really pro-life, if you were really pro-life, you would want to put every doctor and every mother as an accessory to murder in prison. And you won’t say you wanna do that because you know that because you know that you wouldn't have a lick of political support. Now, the issue is who … the issue is, you can't name me anybody presently in politics that did more to introduce policies that reduce the number of real abortions instead of the hot air putting out to tear people up and make votes by dividing America."
“This is not your rally. I heard you. That's another thing you need is a president, somebody who will stick up for individual rights and not be pushed around, and she won't."
Finally, a campaign theme for HRC: "Hillary '08: Sticking up for the right to abort innocent babies!"
You know, I don't know many people who are more active in the pro-life movement than I am, and I cannot recall ever hearing a prolifer express an interest in prosecuting or jailing women. To be sure, there are plenty of prolifers who favor going after doctors who perform illegal abortions. Indeed, I am one of them. But the prolifers I know have no desire to prosecute women who seek out abortions in a post-Roe world. No, what they need is our mercy and support. Bill Clinton, of course, knows this to be the case. But when you cannot debate the merits straight up, I suppose the only thing you can do is attempt to mischaracterize your opponent's arguments or engage in baseless personal attacks.
Has there ever been a man less worthy to occupy the White House than Bill Clinton? I think not.
Update: You can view the video here (LvJS).
Yes, but we can’t let John McCain’s 96% NARAL pro life rating stand in the way of our blind hatred for the man since he is doesn’t agree with us on every single issue. We should stay home or vote for a write-in.
Best regards,
Barry H. Obama
Open borders McCain, Clintoon, Obama,
Hell of a choice there.
not a word from the former world's most powerful man about protecting the innocent. What a f)kcing despot.
I suppose if fetuses could vote, things would be different.
try to stay on point.
'Barry' .. is no innocent.
Neither is
Global warming,
Climate change,
Change,
gravitas,
etc.
They are both against abortion, fighting to minimize it and yet support the ‘right’ to abortion and fighting for it, too...
Bill Clintons true color is red.
Red in the face, pinko in the heart.
as has been usefully and countlessly pointed out on countless threads about them.
This thread is about Bill Clinton pissing on the dignity of the good students and citizens at Steubenville; about the ex president telling a group of - by all accounts - praiseworthy citizens (who are children of praiseworthy citizens) that "you can't get no political support!"
Seems a little brash, doesn't it? A little unprofessional? Perhaps completely unbecoming of an American president; certainly a dangerous viewpoint for someone who would likely be chief advisor for a presidential "hopeful?"
And, allow me to mention the key point once again. The thread is really about ignoring the dignity of the innocent, and Mr. Clinton's zealous complicity in that "crime against humanity."
Agree with you. None of the choices are palatable. What further ticks me off is that the parties (PUBS & RATS) assume these are the choices that we the voters want.
Not true.
I'll admit I'm a little confused by this. What will overturning Roe accomplish then? States will be able to outlaw abortion yet with no criminal penalty? If there's no penalty, won't women who want an abortion get one anyway?
That’s right...if he’s not 100% in agreement, we must stay home or write-in...look into my eyes...you are getting sleepy...96% prolife rating means nothing....
Best regards,
B. Hussein Obamasky
You better get that word out to Rush. I hear him say it all the time.
This .... from Slick Willie, who wouldn't know the meaning of the word 'truth' if it walked up and gnawed off his lip.
bttt
Not sure why conservatives continue to downplay JMcC’s good pro-life stance. The perfect should not be the enemy of the good
Bingo. In 2004(?), Ted Kennedy told the National Press Club that mischaracterizing the Republican's arguments and creating strawmen to knock down were his most important weapons.
