1. Possibly.
Rumor had it that it would take spotlight from Kerry...I think it's an incorrect assertion, personally.

2. I wouldn't doubt it.
Fox reminds me a lot of 1984's Ministry of Truth.

The Russians used to say "There is no Pravda in Pravda"

3. You know what? what CLINTON will do is make ALL of us feel warm and
fuzzy about having a Democratic president. How is that going to help Bush???

4. I saw Pat Buchanan on The McGlauglin Group last night and he
thinks Clinton will energize the democratic base and the republican base. All of the Clinton haters will come out in force to support Bush.

I think the republicans are scared shitless of Clinton and need to spin this in an effort to scare Kerry.

Embrace Clinton! He can remind the public of what a competent President looks like!

8. Yup. That was exactly how they successfully scared Gore into running
away from Clinton. I think Kerry knows what is going on based on what
happened to Gore. It has been almost four years. Only the freepers and some hard core Limbaughites are hanging on the the most virulent type of hate and they are going to the polls regardless of whether or not Kerry uses Bill Clinton. If they really thought he was going to help Bush they would not be running an anti Clinton commercial during 60 Minutes. What would be the point if you thought he was helping your guy. Utter BS.

Also on MacLaughlin, Pat TRASHED the neocons....
Truth be told, as much as I detest Buchanan and his vile sister Bay (at the moon) Buchanan, I have to say that Pat HATES Bush and the neocons and much they have fucked up this country. Buchanan despises this war as much as we do. Hard to believe. I still hate Buchanan. Oh, by the way, I am getting married in two weeks. Cultural conseravtives, be damned.

12. I haven't heard Pat bash Bush. He puts his blame on congress
Edited on Sat Jun-19-04 10:54 AM by lovedems
for giving Bush the power to go to war. I think Pat is a Bush apologist because he blames everyone but Bush. He blames congress, the neocons and advisors BUT not Bush.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! :hug:

Edited to add: I think Clinton can also energize the African-American base. That is just MHO.

19. Maybe I was hearing it wrong, but...
it seemed to me that last night Buchanan was saying that bush was being led by the neocons, that the neocons and the PNAC philosophy are fucking this country up. Maybe not a direct slam at bush, but a slam nonetheless. Maybe?

20. He does have a book coming out that won't help Bush at all.
From what I gather. I heard Pat on Imus the other morning and he would not blame Bush, he only wanted to blame congress.

It is hard to tell exactly what his intentions are. He is a conservative in the end and I am wondering, if he is "against Bush" does that mean he is going to throw his support behind Kerry or will he throw his support behind Nader? I am sure we will find out in the next month or so.

It is hard to tell with Pat because like McCain, he still a republican.

9. They jst better PRAY he's not out there saying what he said
at the Democratic Unity dinner...his speech about Kerry elevated Kerry...Clinton MADE people want to run out and vote for him that night...Fox is simply stating they will USE his book to help Bush


BTW Kerry's a hell of a lot closer to Clinton in stature than Bush is to Reagan

13. that's stupid logic
did Reagan's death take the focus off Bush? I think not given his boost in the polls. Most people liked Bill with the exception of one unfortunate incident, and no one is going to associate Monicagate with Kerry, that would just be ridiculous.

15. FAUX reports: Black is White. Up is Down. Lies are Truth
They are spinning - they hope if they repeat it enough times it will become true.

Clinton's book will help Kerry. Clinton is campaigning for Kerry.

16. Yeah, sure... there's lots to this story...
Because Clinton is so self-obsessed that he wants to destroy his own party and his nation. </sarcasm off>



STEP AWAY FROM THE FOX... STEP AWAY FROM THE FOX...

30. I only watch FOX to check in a see what lies they are telling....
I need to know what propaganda they are spreading on FOX, so I can find proof that it's a lie. My sister, Father, step-mother, are all Bush supporters....I need to understand how they are being brain-washed so I can try to de-program them before the election. FOX is the devil channel as far as I am concerned....but recently I have noticed CNN and MSNBC are reporting a lot of the same stuff FOX is. It makes me mad because it doesn't seem there is any way to get the truth. Let's face it.............half the country still thinks Bush should be re-elected, and that's because of TV. The real truth is in reading but most Americans just buy whatever they hear on TV, how do you counter that????

18. that is because
Reagan's death can help Bush's election
The economy can help Bush's election
HIllary's book can help Bush's election
Paul O'Neill's book can help Bush's election
The newest CIA "anonymous" book can help Bush's election
Rain in California can help Bush's election
Earthquakes in Turkey can help Bush's election
sunsets in Japan can help Bush's election
lunar tidal shifts can help Bush's election


Because Bush's election campaign needs all the help he can get.

22. I think it will only inspire nostalgia
For a president who was imperfect in a personal way, but the very soul of professional competence and integrity when compared to Chimpy & Co.

27. Yup. That's why FAUX is saying it will help Chimp.
You see, some idiots would be telling everyone how great it is so people would buy it. But those clever devils at FAUX are trying to blunt its impact. They sure are smart, eh? Wait. or maybe they know it will hurt Chimp and they're just saying it will help so Dems doen't buy it. Hmmmmmm.

29. I just got back from my local Borders...
and the sign on the door said, "We will be opening one hour early on Tuesday, June 22nd, for sales of President Clinton's book". Ha. Ha. I love how they said "President Clinton". I, of course, went in and put my name on the list for a copy. All of us here at DU should make sure we buy the book so it can do exactly what Hillary's book did - beat all sales expectations! (I got 40% off because I ordered early.)
