Bill Clinton Tops 'em Again
If you have been outraged by comments from Al Gore and Jimmy Carter these last couple of weeks, you obviously haven't seen what Bill Clinton is up to:
ISLAMABAD: Former US president Bill Clinton on Friday condemned the publication of Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) caricatures by European newspapers and urged countries concerned to convict the publishers.
Talking to reporters after meeting Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in Islamabad, Clinton said he disagreed with the caricatures and that the publication was against religious and ethical norms. Clinton said he had no objection to peaceful demonstrations being held worldwide, but this was not the time for violence. He said it was the time to promote inter-faith harmony and stand together on the issue.
He said the people’s religious convictions should be respected at all costs and the media should be disallowed to play with the religious sentiments of other faiths. He said the media could criticise any issue including governments and people, but nobody had the right to play with the sentiments of other faiths.
I'm sure he also means that the newspapers in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries that regularly run anti-Semitic and anti-Christian cartoons and propaganda should be prosecuted. He must also mean that prominent papers like the New York Times, which have run pictures of Piss Christ and the Madonna covered in elephant dung should be prosecuted, as those images were offensive to Christians in America, right?
Wrong.
Clinton is obviously kissing up to folks in the Middle East. Why? Well, it's been rumored that he wants to become Secretary-General of the UN when Kofi Anaan steps down. This is called "having one's ducks in a row." He's probably not too concerned about what Americans think, because the Americans who support him also support the UN. The rest of us can just go suck eggs. As for the Danes, I guess he figures there are less of them than Muslims, so why worry about them?
Un****ing believable. This man thinks more of himself than the damage he is doing to the free world. And I'm not just talking about America. I'm talking about everywhere else too.

Isn't an asian country/individual up for the next sec.gen. position? Ack! I can't stand Bill Clinton he knows not when to keep his mouth shut. But again, who defends Christians from the same behavior? I'll be wearing my Muhammedbomber t-shirt proudly.

I think Bill is trying to get his wife elected president in 2008, and speeches of this sort are just a leadup to that. In some ways it's almost like he's running for First Gentleman (instead of First Lady.)
