THE DEVIL IN BILL CLINTON

I think you are a little off on Clinton and his "demon" nonsense. I believe he and his acolytes are referring to the demons that artistic and creative geniuses are purported to possess, which possession then excuses any bad behavior by the "tortured soul" therein. These people think they are above petty contrivances such as monogamy or basic honesty because they really are better than the great unwashed, and therefore deserve a few gimmes. Think about that story of Jackson Pollock piddling in some society matron's fireplace.
Look at these lyrics of David Crosby:
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran
away.
Think about how many times I have fallen,
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'.
He fools around on his wife, but it was because of "larger voices."
Rubbish.

George Neumayr's article about Bill Clinton is priceless. The only
thing he left out is the role Newt Gingrich played in Bill's
theater of the absurd, oh, sorry, I mean, the theater of the
demons. Surely, Newt deserves some credit as one of the demons Bill
faced. I mean, after all, wasn't it Newt in the rear of Air Force
One where, as the Speaker of the House, he complained about having
to ride along with lowly journalists and other rift-raff, and that
he would get his revenge. And, then, didn't we see the Government
shut down (some people may think that shutdown was caused by
Clinton's veto of the funding legislation passed by the Congress,
but not the mainstream media). So, I think Newt should have some
credit here as one of Clinton's nemesis's.

Mr. Clinton's demons were very kind to Mrs. Clinton's upcoming presidential bid. They have established her reputation as being tough on crime. For Bill's perjury, suborning of perjury, and adultery, he received the punishment of sleeping on the sofa.
The Clinton "unified field theory" is a fancy name for what
used
to be called a tissue of whoppers.

POINT MADE
Re: The reposting of David Brock's His Cheatin'
Heart (Living With the Clintons etc.):
Thank you for reprinting this article. It is the counterpoint to
the obsequious pandering of the mainstream media to the lie of Bill
Clinton's trysting with Monica Lewinsky as a one-time
transgression. At best, Clinton can be called a profligate
philanderer, but that puts too pretty a face on his brand of
adultery. His behavior with women should not be declared off limits
behind "private life" arguments because one has to ask what drives
a man to have to attempt to nail every female within arm's length.
The answer has to be pretty scary. I'm sure he's still at it.

STRENUOUS DEFENSE
Re: Shawn Macomber's Maggie
Sanger and the Human Weeds:
I'm sure you know this, but Shawn Macomber's article on Margaret Sanger is a thoroughly nauseating tissue of lies. Far from being a racist, Sanger campaigned strenuously against racism and immigration limits, ran a clinic in Harlem that was praised by W.E.B du Bois as a "unique experiment in race-building and humanitarian service to a race subjected to discrimination, hardship, and segregation," and was personally responsible for saving potential Jewish victims from the Nazis. Martin Luther King said, "There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger's early efforts. Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her." She promoted contraception, not abortion, which was a dangerous procedure in her time. She never spoke of "inferior races" or "human weeds" as the article implies. Her support for eugenics and segregating difficult personalities from the rest of the population was unfortunate, but considering the spirit of the times, it was moderate at best.
