The Clintons had Vince Foster killed - and other RW lies.
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 03:39 PM by Cant trust em
Or at least that's what a Republican told me was one of the reasons she wouldn't vote for Clinton. I know that a lot of people on this board think that just because something happened 15 years ago during Bill's administration it's old news. Unfortunately it's not. Just because WE on DU know that it was dumb then and it was dumb now doesn't make it so for everyone. If Clinton wins the nomination then the RW will have no problem digging up all of that old dirt that we thought was buried long ago.

This woman I spoke to is voting for Obama if he wins the nomination, BTW.

2. I know this was a "joke" post, or something. But the HEADLINE really does nothing but
further the antagonism around here. And that we certainly don't need. We don't need this, please..

4. As an Obama supporter I must admonish
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 03:33 PM by andyrowe
this as ridiculous and awful. You and the woman who told you this have no proof of this. It's flamebait.

5. You should change the title of your thread
It makes it sound like you are claiming that Clinton's killed Foster. But maybe that is the propaganda you want to spread. If not, please change it to be clean about these discussions

13. Good idea
It's only been up for 30 seconds and is already producing responses I'm trying to avoid.

8. Look at it this way. If the Clintons were such murderous monsters...
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 03:36 PM by glenhappy
then why didn't they take out the competition?

Don't worry. The RW will come up with plenty of wacky conspiracy theories to throw at Obama any day now. And the same person who said that about Foster will avoid voting for Obama.

People are so gullible.

9. Just wondering....
do you think you might want to amend that title with, "as a repuke told me" or something along those lines? I think that might possibly, not sure, be an attack on a political official, as in a threat like it says in the rules. I could be wrong though.

18. This one went awry quickly
I should have been more careful. Things are pretty explosive around here these days.

10. And here's why the RW supports Obama
Because he's helping them FINALLY destroy the Clintons.

Thanks Barack for making Newt Gingrich's wet dream come true.

22. Yep, last night Dick Morris was urging Republicans to vote
against Hillary in Texas. I wonder how many so called Independents and Republicans voted for Obama in open primaries and caucuses just to try to defeat Hillary?

14. OK look, KEN STARR even thinks that's crap
The tinfoil hat reporter who was pushing it was sacked from Murdoch's NY Post for it. The Foster BS is probably the easiest thing to debunk about the Clintons.

20. In the defense of people who wanted me to "delete this thread now"
at first the subject line was just "Hillary Clinton had Vince Foster killed!" I added the "and other RW lies" part after I got such a negative reaction. That being said, people don't want to face the actual point of the post. It's unfortunate, but the hate of the Clintons runs deep and just because things are in the past doesn't mean they're buried.

21. I totally got your point but was concerned about the title, which I see you amended.
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 04:12 PM by Breeze54
But I have a question, do you really think McCain would reach that far back in a debate or go after her for the IWR vote instead or anything else they collaborated on, as she was 'reaching across the aisle'? I mean, that goes way back but maybe you should post a refresher to what happened concerning that subject but that might backfire and give fuel to the trolls and info. I agree that if she is the nominee, her campaign will have to be ready and I'm sure they are, as well as she but why do we have to worry about it, other than possibly bookmarking this thread as reference to handy talking points if needed? What little I remember is he worked with them he killed himself and they were accused by the RW smear machine as "being involved." But they also accused them on Whitewater and that fizzled out and wasn't proven at all. No evidence.

25. I think that republicans will use whatever is at their disposal
some people have used the argument that all of the dirt on her is out there, and none of the dirt on Obama is out there. Therefore Clinton is safe from RW attack in the GE. The RW smear machine won't have trouble drudging up information from the past. It's still fresh in the minds of many. What's particularly startling about my OP is that the woman I spoke of always tries to pass herself off as a moderate in terms of average Republicans. If this is what a moderate republican is then imagine how deep the hatred runs in die hards.

28. "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see."
That woman is no moderate- she's a freeper! Don't believe everything everyone tells you. Tell her to F**k *ff!

And; if you think that the RW Smear machine is just getting started on their 'Oppositional Research', then you're nuts! They've been working up a dossier on each and every Dem that might possibly run as president for years! All they're doing is fine tuning it now! I suspect some has been released this week. (the pic, for one) and I'm sure some is 'being tested' right here on GD-P! Just get ready because the shit is going to hit the fan, whether its one or the other as our nominee. Either one will be able to handle it, I'm sure. ;)

29. I've talked to her many times. I rank her as a 7 on the GOP scale
I've certainly talked to crazier republicans than her, but she's not the worst. The RW smear machine is just getting started. Only time will tell how desperate their attacks will become. We all know that they have no bounds for ridiculousness.

23. The only two term democrat in my 60 years of living was Bill Clinton.
That is why the republicans dont like the Clinton. Republicans want to continue their control over they country and they will because BO is simply not qualified for the job.

26. And you don't think they can invent fresh, non-discredited lies about BO?
Good luck with that.

27. I didn't say that
but the idea that just because it's been brought up before so it's dead now doesn't fly. If there's anything we know about the RW it's that they'll throw their own grandmother under the bus to get ahead. Stale lies will work just as well as fresh lies.
