Clinton 'Strikes' Again... The Fox Interview

Recently Fox News sat down with Bill Clinton to do an interview... the video link is below. Incredible stuff... Clinton totally blew up and went off-subject, accused the interviewer of operating a "nice little conservative hit job" on him, etc. Very interesting and well worth watching.

I saw that...

REPORTER GOT PWND.

It seemed to work the reverse way to me, DMac. I'd say that Clinton got pwned.

the reporter wasn't ready for his answer. He kept trying to cut clinton off.

Just watching that man gets me all fired up. Clinton trips over himself so much that ANYONE can pwn him. Anyway, that was a waste of 10 minutes.

Yeah, he was trying to cut him off because he was going insane. Trying to keep Mr. Bill under control, you know.

I wouldn't be ready for an ex-president to blow up and start talking about stuff that is irrelevant to the question either... lol.

Ditto Holly!

Yehh! I've been dittoed!

*sigh*

Just as Bush's failure to catch&kill Osama Bin Laden is contributing to the demise of our country, so were Clinton's (and all the presidents' before him) actions. I'm SO tired of people beating up on Bush.

Let's dig indepth into Clinton's lies.

Quote :

July 1991: Question: "Have you ever used Marijuana or any illegal drugs?" Answer: "I've never broken any drug law." - Arkansas Gazette, July 24th, 1991, p. 8B
Asked this 3 times, on 3 separate occasions, by 3 different interviewers, your Great White Hope repeated this claim. Until faced with irrefutable proof, that is.
Then he said:
March 29th, 1992: "I've never broken a state law. But when I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two..."
Later, in that same interview, "No one has ever asked me that question point-blank."
- The New York Times, March 30th, 1992, p.A15.

Quote :

On Jan. 19, 1992 Bill Clinton said, "I want to make it very clear that this middle-class tax cut, in my view, is central to any attempt we're going to make to have a short-term economic strategy."
But on Jan. 14, 1993 at a press conference, Bill Clinton said, "From New Hampshire forward, for reasons that absolutely mystified me, the press thought the most important issue in the race was the middle-class tax cut. "I never did meet any voter who thought that."

Quote :

On Sept. 8,1992, Bill Clinton said, "The only people who will pay more income taxes are the wealthiest 2 percent, those living in households making over $200,000 a year."
In response to a Bush-Quayle ad that people with incomes of as little as $36,000 would pay more taxes under the Clinton plan, Bill Clinton said on Oct. 1, 1992, "It's a disgrace to the American people that the president (Bush) of the United States would make a claim that is so baseless, that is so without foundation, so shameless in its attempt to get votes under false pretenses."
Yet the NY TIMES in the analysis of Clinton's budget wrote, "There are tax increases for every family making more than $20,000 a year!"
"While Clinton continued to defend his middle-class tax cut publicly, he privately expressed the view to his advisers that it was intellectually dishonest." (The Agenda, by Bob Woodward, p. 31)

Quote :

In Business Week, July 6, 1992, Bill Clinton was quoted as saying, "When I began the campaign, the projected deficit was $250 billion. Now its up to $400 billion."
However in Time Magazine. 2 weeks later, Bill Clinton was quoted as saying, "When I started in New Hampshire working with those numbers, we felt the deficit was going to be around $250 billion a year, not $400 billion." Which is it, Bill?
But then he said on Feb. 10, 1993, "The deficit of this country is about $50 billion a year bigger than I was told it was going to be before the election." --our President said this after "discovering" that the deficit was $290 billion, $110 Billion LESS than he had claimed in July! Which story are we to believe from our president??

Quote :

President Clinton said on March 23, 1993 at a press conference: "M economic package will cut $500 billion from the deficit in five years." Yet the projected deficit in 1998 with Clinton's budget is $234 billion, the projected deficit in 2001 with Clinton budget is $401 billion.(These figures come from Bill Clinton's budget document, "A Vision of Change for America."-Feb. 1993.

NUMBERS GAME
It's the season to cut government, or at least to claim to, so we perked up when we heard President Clinton declare in his State of the Union address that he had cut (quote) more than 100,000 positions from the federal bureaucracy in the last two years alone (unquote).
As they say in detective work, interesting - if true. So we decided to pull out the new federal budget to check. What we discovered is that Mr. Clinton isn't lying, but he isn't telling the whole truth either. His speeches need an asterisk.
From 1993 to Fiscal Year 1996, the Clinton Administration will in fact have cut the federal government by 157,000 full-time positions. But there's a catch: 131,000 of those positions are civilian Defense jobs. Those cuts reflect the inevitable post-cold War decline in military spending, not some brave retrenchment in the overall size of government.
There's another catch: Of the 26,000 positions to be cut from the non-Defense side of Leviathan, 9,500 come from the Resolution Trust Corp. and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Those two banking agencies grew like Topsy to manage the savings and loan debacle, but are now cutting back as the bailout ends. The RTC is even supposed to go out of business this year. The bottom line is that over the course of the Clinton presidency, the non-Defense, non-S&L part of the government will cut a measly 16,500 full-time positions out of some 1.2 million. In essence the domestic government is conducting business as usual.
Mr. Clinton also says he's making the federal establishment (quote) the smallest it has been since John Kennedy was President (unquote). But again, excluding Defense, total executive branch employment will be 1,181,000 in 1996. Back in 1963, when JFK was President, total non-Defense employment was a mere 861,000. Maybe that should be the 1996 goal for Republican budget- cutters; they could say they got the idea from the President.
Are you referring to the guy who absolutely, positively guaranteed that if he was elected governor of Arkansas in 1990 he would serve 4 years? The one who said that a 4% income tax rate on the wealthiest 2% of the population would raise 165 billion dollars, reduce the deficit, and allow a middle class tax cut? The one who claimed that the republicans had killed the Lani Guinier nomination? The one who claimed that he had decided to make himself available to the draft after 4 acquaintances were killed in Viet Nam (rather than after his birthday had been drawn #311 in the draft lottery)? The one who claimed that "affirmative action "benefits white men?
Are you referring to that Clinton?
No, he said that the new gasoline tax (4 cent per gallon) would go to a deficit reduction trust fund. No such fund has been established to date... it is going to the general fund to fund their increased social programs... check it out... call the government accounting office and ask... they are stealing your money...
And I give you my word to do it without the blame game of the last twelve years of Reagan and Bush.
Good, OOPS, that lasted almost a whole day!

Quote :

The NY Times reported that people earning under $100,000 paid an additional $3 billion in '94.
But wait, Clinton and the media claimed that only the top 2% were going to pay more taxes. Was that another lie from the Clinton administration?

Alright now DMac, that's left-wing bias and you know it.

Holly, the stuff you're posting is right-wing bias too.

Quite honestly, let's discuss the actual video... and not turn this into a left-or-right bashing party.

The fact remains. Clinton went on a bit of a verbal rampage at a reporter and a) didn't answer the questions b) slammed the reporter personally and finally, c) started making and answering his own questions.

Those are the facts. Which direction you lean is up to you.

I would have figured he would be used to reporters trying to trap him by now. I mean honestly, that's a political reporters JOB. To try to catch a polotician in a lie. *shrug*

Are you QUESTIONING ME? Okay. Well- just to make things even... http://www.thenation.com/doc/20031013/corn

Now Holly, if you're going to throw sources at us, make sure they're legit, not some left wing radical-written thing...

*cries in an emoish voice*

I can't ever do anything right. You all hate me!

Okay, okay... I hate to see a girl cry... *sigh*...
