I always knew Clinton wished he was Hitler!

Who said anything about hitler? WTF are you talking about?

Clinton never turned the United States spying aparatus against his own citizenry. Neither did Clinton.

Clinton never turned the spying aparatus against his own citizenry. What King George is doing is UNPRECEDENTED and ILLEGAL. Try to get that through your Hitler-loving brain.

Drudge has no credibility. He provides a cheat sheet of lies and misrepresentations for the right wing radio hosts.

Niether has Bush. He is going against terrorists. Maybe you overlooked that bit. Maybe you overlooked that there is a War agaonst Terror going on. You are so engrossed in the politics of attacking Bush, you overlook these things.

I seem to remember something about Clinton getting FBI files on his political opponents. That is the Law enforcement apparatus, though, not intelligence gathering. Maybe my little unnuanced mind can't see the differences.

One big difference is that Clinton was going after his political opponents, while Bush is going after terrorists that want to kill Americans.

What a HUGE difference in motivation.

clinton was rumored to have used his executive privilege to gain access to fbi files for political gain, but in reality they were routine background checks on all white house personnel and visitors. the right-wing press story that clinton got those on his opponents was an exercise in muddying the waters. it's pretty well documented. in fact, it was not the president who got blamed for it. it was the first lady who was claimed to be getting it through the president in preparation for her senate run.

The war on terror is not an excuse to trash the constitution.

Electing a Clinton to the White House isn't a reason, either.
