Congressman Dan Burton called him a scumbag I think many, many Americans, except the Yellow Dogs, felt precisely the same way. Even Democrats felt he disgraced the office. No rational person could ever suggest Reagan did anything other than make the of the presidency MORE respectable. George Will called him a rapist There is substantial evidence to suggest that this is a proper characterization. However, George Will did not directly refer to Clinton as a rapist. The Wall Street Journal, the Washington times and the American Spectator said that Hillary was a lesbian, that she was having an affair with Vince Foster, and that he was murdered to cover up the affair, that Ron Brown's accidental death was really a murder implicating the Clintons I don't suppose you can back this statement up? and that Clinton smuggled cocaine into Arkansas in concert with the CIA as payoff for smuggling arms to Contras in central america. That Clinton was involved in drug trade in this area is not beyond the realm of possibility. There is considerable evidence of it.

They have said some pretty flattering things about him and while he was in office no less. A few samples... There is a big difference here. People in the media criticize political figures all the time, on both sides. People will take those opinions with a grain of salt. When you create a TV drama that people will assume is the truth (you know they will), you have a responsibility to keep things accurate. Sure you have dramatic license, but using that license on purpose to attempt and influence the viewers who are going to believe it is wrong. Your examples are not relevant. Brian
