Clinton is out of his mind. I think all that skirt chasing that Hillary seems to condone has made him loco.

Maybe Mr. Clinton should recall exactly what it is that made him come out of HIS hole back in 1997? If he had had his way, he would have also shut up the independent counsel and the special prosecutor that made him submit to a humliating DNA test.

That darn blue dress. Dangit.

"Bill Clinton" and "free speech" are not to ever be used in the same sentence.
You really think you're cute. You'd rather blow 70 million investigating a sexual indiscretion, then claim Government is no good it squanders money. I'd love to see your job performance (and Kenneth Stars) be measured by your sexual life, the contents of your garbage can, or how much your used underwear is valued when it's donated to charity. Nothing is irrelevant in your opinion, so long as we find a big enough pile of dirt?

Seems to me tea party folks aren't fearful of being run down by police officers mounted on horses. They aren't deliberately misled down blind alleys by police officers attempting to undermine their right to protest. This IS what happened to peace march activists protesting our inevitable slide into a wrongful war in Iraq. Where was your outrage? Blind loyalty you'll cheer Guiliani and petition he be a candidate for republican ticket.

No, tea party folks enjoy their chance to be heard. I will defend their right to speak with my life. The content and objectives are an abuse of that right they exercise. It's our right to point out they're FOS.
****BREAKING NEWSFLASH*****
TEA PARTY IS VICTIM AGAIN!!!

The same warning I gave tea party folks in blogging history prior to protest day are the same warnings issued by former president. Of course this warning was made because Americans actively conspire against tea party wishing them to fail.

There's a line that ought not be crossed. Do not be careless with your right to free speech. Your sensitive ears can't bear to hear an accusation of such behavior when their own behavior is what's being pointed at directly. I don't care for false allegations, so try not making them if you mean to see fellow citizens defend them. We could always resort to dusting off that little used clause of slanderous libel. Care to dance fella?

your comment alone show's you did not read the article or research what was actually said, but instead went by the OP's interpretation. Clinton did NOT compare these people to terrorists. Clinton compared the mood of the country to that of the 90s when the economy was also in the crapper.

It seems that Clinton's words were greatly distorted and taken out of context.

He's completely correct by the way. This atmosphere is very dangerous. The teapartiers already brought guns to rallies while carrying threatening signs, and it's well documented that a lot of them are stockpiling weapons and ammunition, so is it any surprise that people are concerned about this? It goes way beyond just the political movement; they've created an atomosphere of paranoia and ignorance that is a breeding ground for extremism. There may not have been outright violence at the actual rallies, but there's been plenty of violence related to the atmosphere they've created.

I SAW the congressman walking up the steps, and I saw an old white guy standing by the rope spit and yell at the congressman as he walked by. I didn't need any sound with that video in order to SEE what was going on. You wouldn't either if you'd open your eyes and see what's there rather than relying on people to tell you it DIDN'T happen.

I would love to claim the $100,000 if that video was proof but of course it is not. You saw a guy yelling, nothing more, as we all did. Isn't it funny how the man that was supposed to have been spit upon has nothing to say and has pressed no charges? Why, because it never happened. If anything happened it was a "say it don't spray it" which is common when someone is yelling. That is a HUGE difference than dileberate spitting. I hate anyone that spits. I think it is one of the foulest things you can do. I would be with you IF IT WAS THE TRUTH, which it is not.

He did a CNN interview, that airs at 5pm central time. Lets what that, and see what he says.

From the snips I've seen so far, he is saying that being overly critical, can lead to extremeism. Meaning that calling the President a Nazi leader, or that he is destroying our country, and calling him a liar in front of the country, and calling him a baby killer, lets some people have an excuse to be stupid.

There is a difference between disagreeing, and being stupid with words. Like Palins "don't retreat, reload" comments. Yes, rational people understand what she is saying, but it just takes 1 nutjob to misread her statement.

By your post it seems it Clinton's bigoted comments were not taken out of context at all. It appears you got exactly what he was saying. Tea Partiers=terrorist like the Oklahoma bomber. Thanks for validating.

Clinton is just another pig.

If Clinton's comments about the teaparty people were so bigoted than why can't you come up with a quote??
