A former aide to President Clinton got on a stage at the Campus Progress National Student Conference and accused the Republicans of wanting to kill him and his family to keep tax cuts on the rich in place. The conference itself is sponsored by the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to teach and encourage liberals on campuses to continue debating issues.
He managed to tie national security into his rant too.
Sounds like this guy needs to get back on whatever he is supposed to be taking.
Here's the story.
Couple of notes from the report:
He also took great delight in pointing out that Republicans had to be "dragged into World War II" by Democrats. He forgot to mention Democratic Administrations dragging the U.S. into a war in Vietnam and that President Nixon was the first President to scale back the military involvement before all U.S. combat forces were withdrawn on March 29, 1973. Here's a comprehensive look at the Vietnam story from 1945-1975.
One has to look at the entire picture before making the types of conclusions that he has. For him to make an argument that the Republicans got us into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and wanted to stay out of World War II until Pearl Harbor forced the issue, while ignoring Democratic mistakes over the last seventy years is a deliberate error on his part. It's all propaganda mixed into a "history" lesson.
