Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

When was it established the obnoxious plant was ever a marine?

That marine is an asshole and an idiot. And he's a coward. Bill even asked him if he had the courage to listen to the answer, and that Marine did not have the courage to do so. Coward.

One of those four coffins contained a friend of mine, and seeing him used as a political attack by right-wing delusional ****nuts makes me see red.

They must have taken their cue from the Westboro Baptist Church.

Concession? Hardly. Which party has the chicken hawks? Cheney, Rushbo, Trumpy, et al....war dodging piece of ****s who talk a big game but cowered like yellow bellies when the call to duty came.

Then answer the question. Who ordered all those things? Because it wasn't a Republican and it wasn't someone that served in the military. So does your invective apply to both sides?

I'm confused NIMBY - seems to me, in the past two decades, the only GOP President has been GW Bush, who served in the military, and there were two Democrat Presidents, Clinton and Obama, who didn't serve, and before Clinton, there was GHW Bush, who had an exemplary military and service career. If you want to slag anyone for draft dodging and gaining fortune off the backs of veterans, you need only look to your friendly liberal Democrats for that example.

Bush didn't serve in the military. His father got him into the National Guard. It's not like he went to Vietnam either.

If this has been Trump, I assume the partisan roles would simply be reversed. Sadly.

The marine, would have either not been there at all, or would just shut up and listened.

Wasn't there already a war in Afghanistan that needed more troops and a concerted effort after Bush neglected it for 5 years while wasting time in Iraq?

How many Americans died during the Libyan bombing raids?

Why would you not like drones? Drones are awesome. No troops put in harms way at all.

Just checking. Rationalizations for your side, hyperventilating partisan name calling for the other side. So it isn't about principles, what is it about?

How many American soldiers were wounded and killed in the chicken hawk war? In case you forgot...which would not surprise me. That war was in Iraq. And we had roughly 40,000 casualties there.

Bolded: veiled smear. There isn't a lot I forget.

So your solution is to start wars that cannot be finished? That undercuts your morality. I believe Clinton tried that. Did terrorist attacks increase or decrease in that time frame?

A Marine tells the Clintons this is not going away.

The Marine acted disgracefully. He went on a rant. He wouldn't allow the former President to answer any of his questions or respond in any way. I want to point out, however, thatBill Clinton didn't direct security to kicked the Marine out nor encouraged the audience to heckle him. Security took it upon themselves to remove this young veteran from the facility. Bill was still willing to answer his questions even as he was being escorted out, even asking security to stop at one point. But the Marine wouldn't close his mouth. (As an aside, for those of you who want to know what a disruption really looks like, this was a clear example). But it doesn't stop there.

Then an older woman steps up and does the same thing...badgers and demands answers concerning Hillary and Benghazi, but won't shut up even when she gets an "No" answer to her question.

It was a nice try at painting former President Bill Clinton as someone who doesn't respect our veterans, but in this case the reverse occurred. The veteran didn't respect the former Commander-in-Chief. The man may no longer be President, but you still show him some respect.

He the guy was there causing a disruption, I'd expect him to be kicked out. The difference here was the speaker didn't egg the audience on to jeer the guy as he was being removed by security AND the speaker was still willing to listen and answer the guy's question if he would have just been quiet for 2 seconds.
 
There is really no point in asking politicians questions or wanting them to answer. They will just dodge the question or make up some new lie to cover up their other lie. You might as well just say what is on your mind and never give them a chance to answer.

No doubt you feel the same about GW Bush, Prick Cheney, Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and scores of other right wing draft dodgers?

Donald Trump didn't dodge the draft. He used legal channels to get out of the draft and when those channels were used up got out on a medical condition when he reported for the physical.

This was the most accurate and unbiased review of what happened in the video.
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

When people do monologues rather than dialogues.

A monologue from a marine was met very well.
