Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good....
Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad....

Clinton commits felonies while in office - good...
Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad...

Clinton says mass graves in Serbia - good...
Entire world says no WMD in Iraq - bad...

No mass graves found in Serbia - good...

Re: Liberal media collection

Ok, lets pick this thing apart...

Bush awarded Halliburton the largest military contract in history, and the company gossly overcharged to government for its services, and the government had direct relationships with the company (cheney) thus a conflict of interest...that's why its bad

clinton spent 77 billion on a UN approved war, with proven evidence...bush spent 87 billion against the UN's will on a war that had a false pretense

Who said bombing a Chinese embassy was good? did you ever hear a news station say that?

And the fellony while in office? who said that was good? no one...but what about the war crime committed by mr. bush? was that not bad? doesn't seem like people remember it anymore.

The next two don't even make sense...

Once again..who said the stock market crash in 2000 was good? what drugs are you taking? of course the recession is bad, and what is worse is the way bush tried to fix it..fiscal policy does not help...any introductory economics class will teach you that...but bush probably failed it


anyway, i dont have time to comment on the rest, but next time you make a critique, you should make sure it has some thought to it

And the next time you make a post... you should have a clue of what you are responding to.

Any elementary school graduate could figure out this was a repost of something making the rounds of the Internet; so perhaps you are the one on drugs?

Additionally, the 'good/bad' thing spoke to how Liberals perceive and relate things.

So spare me your condescending attitude.

Re: Liberal media collection

Bushiite mindset:
Clinton-bashing circulating on the internet... FACTS.
Bush-bashing circulating on the internet... LIES, LIES, ALL HORRIBLE LIES!!!



I don't recall there being much positive said about Clinton over Yugoslovia, other than after waiting too long to deal with he finally got off his butt and tried to do something.

But if anyone's got links to articles that indicate otherwise, I'd love to see them.

I don't mean to repeat myself, but the post really wasn't saying that Clinton-ites were running around CONDONING all his junk. The POINT was that it is amazing how some of the things Bush is bashed for are the same things that Clinton did, but somehow he comes out smelling like a rose to Liberals/Democrats.

sorry if i came across as condescending, but i felt i was just matching the tone of the intial post. and perhaps the drug comment was a bit over the top, but i get upset when i see posts that aren't logical. but sorry i 'flamed' you...whatever that is.

i agree that that there is a different perception for similar actions (the media in this country is not perfect and there is a liberal swing to much of it) but my response was simply showing that these specific actions have 'behind the scenes' information, that a post reader won't initially think of. and i just wanted to point those things out.

Thank you for a reasonable opposing response, much appreciated.
Most of these type of posts DO have behind the scenes information; that is true. However, the point of the post was basically to remind readers that Clinton did many of the same things as Bush- to varying degrees- and it seemed hypocritical to put him on the hot seat for the same offenses.
Welcome to the board!

I recall thinking that this pattern would ensue in the wake of that so very controversial 2000 Presidential election. I told myself that Bush would pay the price of neverending "reparations" for emerging from what many still to this day call a "stolen" election. Never mind that the FL SC was out of bounds by acting as a leglislative body and had to be overtaken by the US SC. Never mind that the EC came into play. And never mind that all the recounts done by various groups of the FL ballots consistently revealed Bush as the winner.

So.......none of this amazes me at all.
