‘Shut up and listen’: Bill Clinton tells off Marine during rally

Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary


How the heck did the Post come up with that headline? Clinton had his behind handed to him by both people that unleashed an attack on him. Clinton did his best to try to answer them, and probably would of if given the opportunity.

The headline should have been, Clinton gets mugged by Saboteurs"
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

Clinton said, “His mind has been poisoned by lies and he won’t listen.”

bill knows lies
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

Veterans continue to be used, abused and ignored by Washington, both parties. Veteran's are great for photo ops. After that veteran's are largely forgotten. All y'all can have the football game flyovers, the color guard at public meetings, the token veterans recognized at sporting and public events, the yellow ribbon bumper stickers; you can have all that "thank you for your service" stuff and the "welcome home". Just give veterans a shot at decent jobs, give them a chance to catch up in the civilian world they put on hold while they were active. Don't make them fight for benefits. Don't deny disabled vets good quality healthcare. Don't make them die waiting on VA appointments. Don't let them live homeless on the streets without adequate mental health. Don't deny them medical marijuana for PTSD. Be committed to helping find qualified veterans good job opportunities. Tell politicians who attempt to stand on the back of veterans for personal political gain to get down and shut the **** up.

Mr/Ms Politician: It's OK that you chose not to serve. If you sought deferment after deferment, we don't respect you, but most vets will not badmouth you publicly. But, M/M Politician, stop invoking veterans in an attempt to gain anything publicly. We have been used enough by you assholes. Just give us what is our due and shut the hell up.

THAT in essence is what that Marine was saying. Good on him. We need more of that!
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

Bill Clinton deserves what ever comes to him. I wonder how many others went to Vietnam in his place?

POS human being!
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

Bill didn't take a pounding, this moronic marine who is nothing but a mere **** stain didn't even allow Bill to respond, he just kept rambling on like the moron he was.

GOPosters forget that they have far more draft-dodgers on their side, beginning with the two fortunate sons who ran us aground last decade .

1. Because that is, in part, what he said.
2. It exemplifies what is wrong with the Press today.

You can clearly hear him say it in the video at the link.

@ approximately 2:02 you can hear Bill say "... if he will "shut up and listen" to my answer, I'll answer him.
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

That marine is an asshole and an idiot. And he's a coward. Bill even asked him if he had the courage to listen to the answer, and that Marine did not have the courage to do so. Coward.

One of those four coffins contained a friend of mine, and seeing him used as a political attack by right-wing delusional ****nuts makes me see red.

Stop with the asininity. That in no way makes him a coward.
Hillary lied and blamed the attacks on something that wasn't true. She lied to the families.
Why on earth should he listen to someone trying to justify that?
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary


Well this is awkward... They're all right.

Bill was right - the man was being mouthy and rude and needed to simply state his view and question and give due respect to President Clinton. (Yes - still calling him President even though he's out of office, as is the tradition. It is a rarely held title well earned).

And Mrs. Clinton did lie, admittedly in her own words via email, for which she needs to be held accountable so the Marine is right to bring that up, too.

And so on, so forth. They're all right in some fashion. Just, they were all dicks about it, too. Even Mrs. Clinton.

He stood up pretending to ask a question. A United States Marine. Hiding his intentions like a coward. Disgraceful. If he didn't want to listen, he shouldn't have been there in the first place. He didn't want to participate in America's political process. He wanted to yell about **** he doesn't understand.

Your thoughts on this are irrational.

He stood up and voiced his opinion to make a point that Hillary lied.
He even said he wouldn't listen and would just get louder.

You may not like that, but it is in now way being a coward or disgraceful.

Hillary's lie on the other hand is what is disgraceful and is what prompted his protest.

No more than went for that total turd Cheney. Cheney has my back teeth grinding to think he dodged the draft and then pushed hard to send troops into Iraq for a social experiment- something Neo-Cons decry when attempted at home. Lots of 'patriots' ducked into the National Guard or school, knocked some girl up to get daddy exemptions...

Time to let this one go, or stop trotting it out when it fits your PUB style rant... Scouts OUT !!!! :peace

"Friend of yours", yeah, right. If that were true you'd know the parents of the fallen feel the same way as the Marine who stood.

Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

This is the difference between Clinton and our current President.
Clinton sat and waited patiently for the man to finish. He answered and didn't really get to ruffled until Bin Ghazi was mentioned.
This is pretty much what made him a good spokesperson and a good public figure for the U.S.

He wasn't mugged, he was faced with an angry soldier who wanted some answers. In fact, it is a series of questions he should have been well prepared for (not necessarily knew the answers to but been prepared either way).

I'm confused NIMBY - seems to me, in the past two decades, the only GOP President has been GW Bush, who served in the military, and there were two Democrat Presidents, Clinton and Obama, who didn't serve, and before Clinton, there was GHW Bush, who had an exemplary military and service career. If you want to slag anyone for draft dodging and gaining fortune off the backs of veterans, you need only look to your friendly liberal Democrats for that example.

Both Duyba and H.W. served. Now what Dubya's actually did in the national guard is questionable but him and his father served. Dubya did have the distinction of taking his stances on the advice of chickenhawks but that's a separate issue.

And..... it goes for any draft dodger who didn't file for CO.
 
Re: Bill take a pounding for Hillary

Yeah, Americans "support the troops" until the troops start talking about things that are politically incorrect.

I can't help but wonder if the Marine isn't possessed of similar sentiment to Tulsi Gabbard? I suspect many young survivors of that fraud now realize they were lied to and abused.
