Show me one single post I have made within the last half year where I have even mentioned Clinton, JLA. (Outside of the ones today, of course.)

I cannot remember JBE ever defending Clinton, and she was not even defending him today- she was merely correcting someone who quoted him incorrectly- unless setting the record STRAIGHT is a partisan activity, which I suppose in your mind it would be- but I can remember hundreds perhaps THOUSANDS of your posts attacking Clinton (and oddly enough they are basically all the same). You seem to have made it your life's work. I certainly wish you could carry on this important work on the numerous boards dedicated to such careful and considered study.

I take that back, JLA. I have mentioned Clinton in posts within the last six months -- but most of my references were parenthetical, or pejorative. I've never had much use for Clinton's foreign policy, in particular. Here is a sample post (from the Kosovo thread); I think it would be hard to construe it as a "defense" of Clinton: To: goldsnow (15234 ) From: jbe Tuesday, Nov 9 1999 12:51PM ET Reply # of 15889 I understand very well that the Chechens may indeed remain on their own. And I know the Russian generalitet is not going to listen to any outside criticism, as long as it has the overwhelming support of the population. (To take just one example of the latter: one Moscow newspaper -- Nezavisimaia gazeta -- is running a poll right now, asking readers whether they support negotiations with Maskhadov or not. The count so far: 14% support negotiations; 86% oppose them.) It is just that I don't want my government to support what is going on. The first time round, Clinton covered himself with disgrace, when he compared the war in Chechnya to the American Civil War, and Yeltsin himself to Abraham Lincoln. And then, of course, the IMF money....I was in Chechnya at the time, and I had a difficult time fending off questions like "Why do you Americans want to exterminate us?" That was what it looked like to them... Here is an opportunity for Clinton & Co. to go on record as opposing the slaughter of the civilian population of Chechnya (which, let us not forget, still includes ethnic Russians). It probably will not pay off, at least not right away. But keeping silent is no alternative. Silence is implied approval. techstocks.com FYI, Here are some more posts I made within the past six months, which mention Clinton. techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com
