The day Clinton betrayed this Country, And nobody said a thing...
On April 19th. 1995 a right wing extremist Timothy McVeigh drove an explosives laden rental truck next to the Oklahoma City Federal Building and set the detonator.
The resulting explosion caused the collapse of the building and killed 168 Americans, many of were civilian and not connected with the Government.
Nineteen of which were children, killed and buried beneath the rubble.

Investigators soon connected McVeigh to the Bombing and a Nationwide alert was issued to all police agencies, This was also announced on nationwide news programs such as CNN as well.

In the meantime, President Bill Clinton was so overwhelmed and consumed with the safety of the McVeigh families safety who lived in Buffalo New York due to the news alert, that he immediately dispatched Federal law Enforcement Agents to fly the McVeigh family to safety in France.

Since safety was the over riding issue here, Even though during a normal homicide investigation family members of the perpetrator are almost immediately interviewed and questioned about the whereabouts or other clues to their wanted family member, This was not done, Due to concern for the safety of the innocent family members.

It was also never an issue that the McVeigh family had been funding the Clinton business interest for over 25 years, It was not an issue, Because prudence ruled.

No cries of indignation were ever heard on the Rush Limbaugh show, The O'Reilly's and the Hannities Because all saw the compassion and intelligence of the Presidents decision as well as Newt Gigrich and the normal day to day right wing believers, and stood by the President in this time of National mourning, Proclaiming that Americans should never politicize such a thing.

Of course this is fiction, Just as this Mis-Administrations tenure has also been a tale of fiction.
But we all know what the truth would have been in similar circumstances....

DON'T WE??

Want the truth, Just replace Clintons name with Bush.
And McVeigh’s name with Bin Ladden‘s

Since I would hate to see anyone silenced, And that’s what it would amount to if we took the term “It’s Clintons Fault”, Out of the Right Wing Extremist mouths, I thought I’d give em one more thing to blame on old Bill................

defies all logic and common sense.

11. Sorry,
I like to try out things here for obvious reasons, Didn't mean to fool YOU GUYS.
I also wasn't sure where to post it.
My other “My Uncle and the Loan Shark” in the General Discussion section was probably over the top.
I’m trying for a response from the repukes, I think I’ll succeed if I keep it up, With a little help from my friends.
:)

16. Satire doesn't work
if you slap a big flashing "PARODY" sign on it. The whole point is to fool people so that once they realize (or are told) they've been blinkered, they recognize the inconsistency in the conventional wisdom.

15. Residents of Free Republic
There's a website, Free Republic, where some of the most deliberately ignorant conservatives hang out. They call themselves freepers.

17. Richard Clarke approved the post-9/11 flight of the bin Laden family
This is from "The Hill" a newpaper that covers political issues on Capitol Hill. Clarke was interviewed about the bin Laden family evacuation on May 26, 2004.

http://www.thehill.com/news/052604/clarke.aspx

-------------

Richard Clarke, who served as President Bush’s chief of counterterrorism, has claimed sole responsibility for approving flights of Saudi Arabian citizens, including members of Osama bin Laden’s family, from the United States immediately after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In an interview with The Hill yesterday, Clarke said, "I take responsibility for it. I don’t think it was a mistake, and I’d do it again."

Most of the 26 passengers aboard one flight, which departed from the United States on Sept. 20, 2001, were relatives of Osama bin Laden, whom intelligence officials blamed for the attacks almost immediately after they happened.

"It didn’t get any higher than me," he said. "On 9-11, 9-12 and 9-13, many things didn’t get any higher than me. I decided it in consultation with the FBI."
