Comments on: Clinton Clashes With Fox Newsman

Ex-President Accuses TV Host Of Preparing A 'Conservative Hit Job'

[awbkeywest]

NONE of the Network News Companies mention that Bill Clinton Lost it during Interview. His face all red and his finger just a going... Well ABC News on Demand On-Line puts a Slick Willey Spin on the Interview. Did you even look at the Interview? I think not!

Chris Wallace, of FOX, is one of the nicest reporters. How can Clinton go off getting personal with him: "And you've got that little smirk on your face and you think you're so clever." Clinton shows his true colors and it got aired on TV. This would have never happened on CBS or in Hollywood. Clinton's handlers screwed up and Bill Clinton lost it. It wasn't no great political strategy that the DNC is spinning. It is simple, Bill lost it.

Thanks for airing it. I would hope you'd go back and get the rest of the film clippings and air them, so we can see how Bill leaves the Interview Studio.

Finally got Slick Willey!!!!

Let's analize the two worst attacks against us.

Dec. 7 1941, Japan attacks our navel base killing thousands of Americans. FDR [Democrat] "knew" or should have known that after he imposed a steel and oil embargo on Japan they would act against us. He did nothing, and pinned or lack of readyness on Gen. Short and Admeral Kimmel.

While Clinton[Democrat] is President For eight years Americans are killed by Terrorists around the world including our warship Cole, He did nothing about the various attacks and had us looking like A paper tiger. He did not do job one and protect the people of America, he was too busy letting that fat women do her thing and trying to dodge impeachment proceedings. Now he has the nerve to ask "What did President Bush do about the Cole"??! What a JERK!!

[tolidano]

Chris Wallace is not even the shadow of his father. He was smirking at our former president which was rude. He also did not acknowledge or respect what President Clinton had to say and the passion with which it was spoken.

As far as President Clinton is concerned, his recitation was informative, necessary and welcome. And, it truly was nice to once again hear what a president should like. History will show that Clinton was one of our greatest presidents. Unfortunately, Chris Wallace was unable to recognize that.

[ncklssmr1]

What is really sad about all of this is indeed how Mr. Clinton was basically called out for his inability to "get" bin Laden. What's funny is that the current president stated that he was going to get bin Laden dead or alive, smoke em out, get him no matter what it takes. A few years later, the same president says I don't think about bin Laden that much anymore. It just seems that this administration and its media puppets are quick to point out mistakes made in the past by others, and gloss over the most obvious ones they have made. It's somewhat amazing to note that some of the president's own party members are tying to distance themselves from him, because they are trying to save their own political lives, with little or no regard for the human lives that have been lost demonstrated by the administration in a war that had no real foundation, as far as reasons for going to war. Saddam Hussein certainly wasn't the best of people, but he also wasn't in bed with bin Laden or possessing WMD. So, why are we still there? Colin Powell has stated the rest of the world is starting to wonder about the moral grounds for our involvement in Iraq. I just wonder why he left the job of Secretary of State, was it because he was told to beat it for being the only reasonable person in the current administration? Or maybe he was just the first of a long line of people trying to run away from the legacy that will be left by this administration.

Chris is a miracle of genetics: a rat who is the offspring of a Lion.

[ronniehm]

Algha, I agree that it's ridiculous to blame Clinton for 9/11, but it's even more ridiculous to blame Bush for something that was planned years before he was elected. Blame bin laden. The end.

[dhamilton01]

Constantly subjecting our politicians to this sort of antagonistic badgering is unprofessional, offensive, and childish. After a while those we would want to serve just won't. We are not at all impressed by how tough or fearless interviewers want to seem as they interview world leaders...

[algharibian]

It's Strange, reps area saying if the economy was in perfect shape during Clinton time, it was because of the previous President (Bush the father). Now they say it's because of Clinton we had 911!!??
this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

[libsstink]

Failing economy? What? That's right. I did see soup lines all over town today. Halucinating libs!

Or did I actually see most homes around town with 2 or 3 car garages, nearly every school kid with a cell phone and iPod in tow. Every American (poor or rich), if lived elsewhere in the world, would be living like a king!!! Libs, get off this notion that this country is a horrible country!!! In this country, every American has an opportunity to make something of themselves or they can choose to sit home and wait for a check from Uncle Sam. It's the Libs who are promising the check's in the mail and it's the conservatives who are asking people to make something of themselves.

[thgdriver]

After our American warship the Cole was attacked and 17 of our young in the Navy were KILLED, President Clinton did ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!! Now he can't stand having his RED nose rubbed in it. AT least President Bush had the guts to give it to Afganistan, they still don't know what the he-- hit them!!

While Clinton was BUSY trying to duck the heat from his lies on the Whitewater scandal and " I never had sexual relations with that woman" Bin Laden was BUSY planing 9/11. For 8 years he rolled a gutter ball and when all the pins were missed you looked back and Bush was standing there. Bush did not start the ball on it's way into the gutter, Clinton did.

[destiny2day]

Way to go, former President Clinton. I, too, am sick of the conservative finger-pointing. The United States of America was safer and in better financial shape when President Clinton was leading this country than it is now under the Bush Administration. From terrorists to illegal aliens to a failing economy, Bush's irresponsibility as a leader has affected us (U.S. citizens) all in a devastating way. Too bad Bush literally "stole" the election from Gore to begin with--at least our country would have been spared the lives of many unsung American military heroes. Que sera sera--we are where we are at now and we must clean up the mess the Bush administration has made. Now we all must stop this finger pointing and get on to the task at hand!

[libsstink]

Clinton said he tried and failed. Fact is, he did nothing. He had reportedly had eight to ten opportunites to kill UBL and he chose the steadfast pacifist liberal route. He passed. And now he wants to remembered as a President of significance. Gimme a break. He looked into every American's face and point blanked lied and then he was impeached. Doesn't seem to be any gray area there, right? Fact, Clinton seldom tells the truth and is a flaming liberal who hasn't slept with his wife in twenty years.

[nynative1340]

You got that right, skigolo. Sometimes you can simply look at a commentor's login name (LibsStink) and determine their level of hatred. Too many Ann Coulters in the world...blinded by their hate.

Someone who can say that Clinton did nothing in his eight years as president, and not know that Bush was an alcoholic for half of his adult life really doesn't know much about his presidents.

Clinton did a lot and left with a surplus; Bush has done nothing but create a legacy of debt for our children and grandchildren, and a world that hates us. Two things that did increase under the Bush years is the number of illegal immigrants in this country, and world wide terrorism.

[scalexandra]

What Wallace needs to do is to ask BUSH NOT Clinton what he did / doing to get Bin Laden.
Also some American (R) seem to have forgot that when Clinton tried to go after Bin Laden. They said that he was just wanted to get the light off himself. Remember all the talk about the "tail wagging the dog".

[memsman]

To LibsStink: I'd take a party anytime compared to the wandering imbecile we are currently being governed by.

To rcjayhawk3: Let us know if you feel the same by the time they evacuate the last US soldier off the roof in the green zone...

Clinton is not to blame for the countless mistakes of the current administration. We should talk about what's wrong now and not 4 or 8 years ago. But wait, that means we have to talk about how the repuclicans has managed to flush this country down the toilet since they got in power.

[cwehrwein]

The headline is erroneous and you news sources always make it worse. I watched the interview - he did not clash with the reporter. He responded to the questions, which were not part of the original agreement, and rather forcefully, but he did not clash. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. cw

[skigolo]

I guess Clinton should use the current administrations tactic... no public openness and no interviews, unless it is with a "friendly" reporter.

What surprises me is the viciousness of the feelings towards Clinton. Why do conservatives have to hate. Or more importantly, how can you reconcile this attitude with being truly Christian. That is a disconnect I have yet to understand.

[rcjayhawk3]

If America can survive 8 years of that overgrown
four year old in the White House, then I'm
convinced we can survive Osama bin Laden or
anything else this crazy mixed-up world can
dish out!

[jocbs]

Does a REAL news reporter commonly make comments regarding his recent interview, claiming they had a "conspiratorial view"?

Can someone tell me one single thing "President" bush did to prevent 9/11 after receiving the following memo on August 6, 2001?

[tibu987]

I do not care for Clinton nor do I like Bush, however, in this instance Clinton is right. Had he had the go ahead from day one, I believe that things would be different in the mid-east. Frankly, I do not see how anyone can get anything done in Washington and the United Nations with so many diverse opinions as how to approach an issue,
precisely why our foreigh policy has wreaked so much hatred in the world and for which, we will do battle forever.
