1. Doesn't sound like an outburst to me.
Not like my "They stole another fucking election!" at work on the morning of the 3rd, for which I'm now required to report to anger management classes.

Now that was an outburst.

2. Sue their asses
Expressing an opinion is not a cause for discrimintaion. You should SUE THEIR ASSES OFF! Just one more example of fascism at work.

3. Seriously, they are making you
Edited on Sun Nov-21-04 12:55 AM by Cleita
go to anger management class because you were upset over a loss? If it had been their side's loss, and they spoke up, would they also go to anger management class?

9. It hasn't been locked in yet, but there will be some sort of class --
anger management, stress management, whatever. Hoping to get off with a one afternoon seminar type thing.

A co-worker complained about the volume and the language when another co-worker made the mistake of asking why I seemed upset first thing in the morning. This was even before Kerry's concession speech.

As a state employee, they are very strict about such things.

Did what I had to that day, left early, and didn't try going in the next day, just to be safe.

6. hey that sucks
those bastards have no right to do that to you but i know you have no choice because its not like there are a lot of replacement jobs waiting for anyone. they know it too, which is why employers now think they have the right to demand your piss and your free speach without even paying you a fair wage.

4. That was NOT an outburst -- Clinton was telling the truth
Jennings was the one who raised his voice and challenged Clinton -- Clinton replied and said "you don't want to go there", and then Clinton told the truth about the way the media was publishing everything that Starr leaked to them --while at the same time they were ignoring real news.

I've heard this exchange several times -- and have downloaded the clip on from Randi Rhode's website

http://www.therandirhodesshow.com

and have listened it is -- the whole clip from start to finish.

Clinton was fully within his rights to explain this part of history -- the media has been putting their own spin on this and Clinton read the media the riot act -- they were wrong and Jennings was a pig in the way he interrupted Clinton and brought up the subject. Clinton explained his side -- and made the point that he never dishonored America -- what he did was private.

The point he also implied was that while he (Clinton) did his job and stopped ethnic cleansing etc and did not dishonorer America while doing his job -- look at how bushie is dishonoring America EVERY single day he holds that job.

Clinton also mentioned that he is loved and admired WORLD WIDE -- While not saying -- but the implication is there that at the same time bushie is met by thousands of protesters who hate his guts.

Clinton managed to cover a whole lot of ground in his reponse --and this is no doubt one of the reasons why the whore corporate media is pissed off at what he said.

Everyone be sure to download that clip at the above website and listen to it several times. Clinton packs a whole lot of meaning using simple words!

5. Yes he does pack in the meaning he is a great public speaker
Edited on Sun Nov-21-04 01:17 AM by Is It Fascism Yet
and a great man, an inspiring president. Oh, those were the days, when the worst that happened was a blow job and some phone sex between consenting adults. And it was obviously a frame up job, otherwise even the worst slut would not save the dress and ask mommy to preserve it. Starr should be in jail as a pornographer for publicizing these juvenile sex acts in places where Janet's breast wouldn't be allowed. The media did use it as circus, circus, to cripple the presidency and distract from the real news.

15. We out in the world do not hate "his guts"
We hate the "Bushman" (sorry for offending the real Bushmen) as he is a compulsive liar, a fraud, a deserter, a murderer and I could go on and on.

We certainly cannot hate the guts of a coward!!

We in the world respect Clinton as a leader not because of his performance as a US President but because he was sincere in all that he said, and admitted his mistakes whenever he made them. That is the mark of a great leader.

7. Join? Please he's been one of them of decades
I think Peter crapped his pants in that part of the interview.

I was hoping Clinton would throttle the bastard.

I really wish Starr could be charged with murder. I know if I ever met that man, I will tell him so. McDougal should never have died in prison, and it is all Starr's fault.

8. New last paragraph: "Starr, now dean of the Pepperdine University...
law school, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday. He was too busy flogging his log while looking at a picture of Ann the Man Coulter."

13. Hmmm. I don't think it's Ann or any human that gets him off.
Although I think he got Ann off. I'm thinking of all the praise she used to heap on him about being so brilliant even when he was delving into stuff that was totally pornographic. This is what got him off, thinking about all the BJ's Monica was giving Clinton and imagining himself to be Clinton. I really think he got off on bringing Clinton down because of it.

14. Little Kenny Starr probably got his ass kicked daily in school.
Doesn't he look like a grown-up version of a picked-on kid (he reminds me of Karl Rove, who admitted he was beaten up by a little Catholic school girl).

Meanwhile, Clinton was a politician coming out of the womb -- personality with a capital P, probably got any girl he wanted ... just a STAR (Ken Starr's name was probably Kenny Swackhammer or Kenny Finkelbinder, and he changed his name to Starr to sound more glamorous!)

So, Starr hated Clinton because Clinton's a rock star and Starr is a 14-Karat DORK!

12. Jennings showed his colors when ...
... when he confronted Wesley Clark about Michael Moore's characterization of GW Bush as a "deserter".

Jennings called that an baseless accusation not supported by the facts. Well, the accusation was clearly NOT baseless since Bush STILL has not produced a single (authentic) document saying he did his duty during the missing year.

Futhermore, it's the press's job to INVESTIGATE such things. The press had ENDLESS discussions about Clinton smoking a joint in the 60s in a country where marijauna was legal. But they aren't willing to explore whether the commander in chief of our armed services skipped out on his guard duty and then had dady cover it all up for him.

Jennings has DEFINITELY drank the right wing cool-aid. And any accusation of Jennings as being a liberal is no no longer ambiguously indefensible. It's a flat out lie by looking at the mans conflict.

Jennings is no more a Clinton/Kerry supporter than Rather is a Bush supporter!!!


Hmm, lets look over the anchors ...

Fox ... Hume ... Bush backer
NBC ... Brokaw ... Bush apologist (as evidence by their bogus weapons dump story that was contradicted a couple hours after it was published)
ABC ... Jennings ... Bush apologist
CNN ... Blitzer .... Bush apologist

CBS ... Rather ... Critical of BOTH sides
CC ... Stewart ... Critical of BOTH sides, REALLY hates Bush!!!!


Liberal media my ass!!!! The only liberal media out their is "The Nation" and "Air America"!!!

25. You could tell then he was getting his directives from Rove.
Or he's still pissed about losing his wife to Holbrooke, a friend of both Clark and Clinton.

23. he was quoted out of context
he said "i invented the internet!" fasciously, and was quoted out of context. Factually speaking Gore did contribute heavily to the internet, although no one person can actually claim it as a personal accomplishment.

21. Boots worn by Nazi soldiers and SS murderers
had their soles attached with hobnails, and were sometimes called jackboots.Quite useful for stomping the heads of "dissenters."
