An author who Fox News hosts insisted had impeccable sources told the network on Tuesday that former President Bill Clinton had considered using his own death to help Hillary Clinton win the presidency.
While hyping his new book, Blood Feud: The Clintons Vs. The Obamas, Ed Klein explained to the hosts of Fox & Friends that he was expecting some blowback as retaliation from Bill and Hillary Clinton.
They always say its not true, he noted. People ask me, How do you get these sources to talk to you? And theres a couple of answers. One is they like to boast about their connections to people at high levels. Number two, they want to get their story out.

Sounds legit to me!
We already know the Clintons take "blood money" and killed Vince Foster, so this makes total sense!

(18,115 posts)They are so polarizing that the opposition benefit immensely in rallying dislike and disdain. Limbaugh made a career off if Clinton's presidency. Clinton's are his cash cow. The RW talking heads are the only people who want Hillary as a candidate and a president as much as the 2008 pumas.

(21,475 posts)ANY Democratic President will be considered "Polarizing" whether they actually are or not. I don't consider either the clintons or the Obamas to be Polarizing but the Right is going to HATE any Democrat, and that HATRED will be the cause of the Polarization.
1 out of 4 Americans buy into this nonsense.

(114,904 posts)and for the record, I don't think the Clinton's money is "blood money"- though I do think they're deeply enmeshed with the corpocracy- and no one here has ever repeated or endorsed the sick "killed Vince Foster" canard. That's just bullshit to insinuate that DUers have done that. It's profoundly dishonest.

(39,961 posts)or would this have been ridiculed as Jerry Springer type conversation a decade or so ago? I'm not that old, I just hit forty a year and a half ago, but I do not recall this sort of foolishness on TV in the past. Maybe I need to start screaming "get off of my lawn" even at my age, but this is lunacy.
MineralMan
(146,341 posts)Jerry Springer did. That audience hasn't changed, but I think it's shrinking. I sure as hell hope so, anyhow.

(39,961 posts)This sort of crazy pollutes the conversation to the point where you just wonder if the nation has lost its collective mind if someone is willing to say such crap in public.

(86,013 posts). . . and isolated folks who make charges like this into a permanent class of nutcases; mostly associated with the base of the republican party, but not restricted to republican opponents.
This type of politics has never worked against the Clintons among the vast majority of Democrats who support them today from all political wings of the party. Only republicans can invest themselves this fully in these types of attacks and not realize the political ground they cede to rational voters.

(39,961 posts)or did he ingest more drugs than he should have? Inquiring minds don't really want to know, but it would at least provide insight as to why he babbled such nonsense.
I'm not in love with Hillary Clinton, but this is way out in whack-a-doodle-do territory.

(19,826 posts)wave after wave of attacks on her physical appearance noting her "lymphodema" in her legs and the size of her rear. His allegations Nixon observed Chelsea ignoring her mom. His endless speculation on lesbianism or her, her friends, everyone. It was horrible and every page made me madder. WHY did I read it, I'm a member of know the enemies mind set.
Now he can hate on Hillary...again.............. and the Obama's.
