- Aidenag, on 10/12/2007, -17/+248I miss having a president that can debate.. gets thrown an on the spot question in this, and acually gives a detailed and well thought out response...
Now days we get "Ummmmm" followed by a blank stare.. and something about putting food on my family.. - cjbanna, on 10/12/2007, -16/+138A glowing example of why Fox News is far from "fair and balanced."
- Koopa, on 10/12/2007, -16/+132Compare this interview to the one Bush did with Wolf Blitzer today...when I listen to Clinton, I feel proud, and I feel like I'm hearing a man to whom I could trust my country's stewardship.
When I hear Bush, I feel embarassed for him...like I'm a parent watching my 4th grade son in a school play, and I just have to pray he doesn't screw up and embarass us both - hawkeye17, on 10/12/2007, -14/+118Wallace learned the hard way...do not ***** with people who are smarter than you are on live TV. Wallace is a hack and FOX "news" is a joke.
- psimaster, on 10/12/2007, -22/+111Bush will never submit himself to something like this because he has a hard time putting a full sentence together. Clinton Rocks!!!
- Diggasaurus, on 10/12/2007, -14/+97Heh, I like how the reporter tries to keep his balls firmly attached to himself while getting yelled at by a president.
Awesome clip though, Bill really brought some good points, the best one was the quick 'wag the dog' comment. The right wing all came out and said Clinton was wagging the dog because of the impeachment trial, but now they are saying he didn't anything to stop Osama before 9/11. - christianw, on 10/12/2007, -15/+86@ 23r17i05o42n
Ok so the best you can do is Clinton lied about getting head in the white house. I highly doubt you think John F. Kennedy was a more horrible person and president considering he did a HELL of a lot more when it came to infidelity .
That being said, by your own standards, lets see how you feel our current president is? For starters he, in a compete act of cowardess abandoned his post in the texas air national guard. He's illegally tapped the communications of law abiding americans. Defied rulings of the Supreme Court (in case you failed government class, they are one of the 3 branches of federal government), and illegally given himself amnesty from breaking the law by sliding in "the law on this topic does not apply to me" in bill after bill after bill.
Clinton may have lied under oath, but Bush's past and present are clear. He's a man who has committed the very definition of the act of treason. Which is punishable by death which I believe is only punishable by firing squad.
God Bless America - SmokedL, on 10/12/2007, -9/+76This?
Nah, they were trying(and failing) to be subtle here, since they were dealing with a former president. There are far far more blatantly propagandist things aired by fox on a regular basis.
Did you see the one where they accuse that judge, that upheld the law against warrant-less tapping, of wanting Americans to die? That's more their `normal` level of spin.
The fact that so many Americans rely on FOX for their news is really scary. - Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -8/+71I don't consider that losing your cool. That's called debating an issue with a person who doesn't want you to answer the question that you were asked. If Clinton didn't raise his voice to cut Mathews off he would have been cut off himself and stopped from answering the question. He had to make it clear he wasn't afraid of the question and was perfectly able and willing to talk about it and answer it... but also express the bias in the question at the same time.
Clinton is a master politician. He WANTS to debate every and all issues at all times because he knows he will out-argue any politician he is up against... his problem is when he is forced to answer those tough questions and his opponents arn't. Maybe this will get some of the networks to ask republicans the questions he wanted them to be asked. - signal15, on 10/12/2007, -9/+70FOX News isn't news. It's entertainment and mutual masturbation for neocons.

Digg is about community, we have users here on all sides of the issues. Some agree with me, some dont, some have completely different opinions. Digg succeeds where biased sites fail because the community balances itself out.
So on behalf of the regular users here at digg.com, in response to your smartass little comment about moveon.digg.com. From all of us here at digg on all sides of this issue, to you sitting there at home...
Go ***** yourself - bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -10/+69He certainly lost his cool a little, but he said some things that needed to be said. I especially dug: "Well, every even number year–right before an election–they come up with some security issue."
It's true though...
http://www.richgentlemenhide.com/comic/weekend-at-bin-ladens/ - diablo943, on 10/12/2007, -16/+71Clinton catches the real criminals... It was quite pleasurable to watch Clinton rail on the right-wing stooge from Fox. The one line Clinton missed and should have used was, "Fair and Balanced, my ass!"
- djbruker, on 10/12/2007, -10/+62Chris Wallace is worse than a hack. He's a typical Washington ass-sucking sycophant of the highest order. A mere year after Bush distracted troops away from the war on terror in Afghanistan to the incompetently managed (by Bush & Rumsfeld) war in Iraq, under the false pretence that Iraq posed a clear and present danger of supplying (nonexistent) WMD to Al-Qaeda (with whom there was NO connection with Iraq) -- a year after this Wallace put out his ridiculous book where he lamely attempted to elevate Bush to the level of a great president. Who the hell is going to believe that crap? The man clearly has no dignity or self-respect and is only interested in proving his party loyalty so he can be the next FOX news rich white faux-Christian racist Republican ***** to get rewarded with a Republican appointment.
- themoderate, on 10/12/2007, -10/+54Amazing. Thanks for putting this up. I have wanted to watch it for somet time now. Score 1 for Clinton, 0 for Fox News. They deserved this, and its about time they put someone on who can defend themself. I was getting tired of seeing Fox invite Democrats and Independents who would get torn apart by the Fox staff. Hopefully lots of people who watch Fox News will actually watch this and learn that they have been spoon fed lies and deceit for years.
- djbruker, on 10/12/2007, -12/+56"The fact that so many Americans rely on FOX for their news is really scary."
Actually, I've heard that Americans rely on FOX news more than any other news source. Oh wait, I heard that on FOX news... - iamrussell, on 10/12/2007, -5/+44"Maybe he tried, in a half hearted way, to get UBL, but the truth is he pawned the problem off on Bush (making it worse) no matter how you look at it."
that being said, why did bush ignore it completely for nine months? the ***** even got a report a month before 9/11 saying that bin laden was going to strike the us and still ignored it. the bush administration is DIRECTLY responsible for 9/11. - baldr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38"Clinton really looked unprofessional, by attacking Chris Wallace and not letting him get a word in edgewise."
It's an interview, not a debate. Clinton is the one that is supposed to be talking. Wallace should only say things to move what Clinton is talking about along or to raise a new topic.
Anyway, I think that the nervous laugh that Wallace does when he feels threatened is hilarious... - snockhockster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38You mean like their commentators do to almost every guest on the network?
They were trying to lampoon him and it back-fired. - RenZ87, on 10/12/2007, -5/+37Here is the full first half of the interview.
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/09/24/fox-clinton-interview-part-1-osama-bin-laden/ - snockhockster, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35Zethris, considering the fact you have no idea what my political leanings are I would encourage you to keep such comments to yourself.
Your exhibition only illustrates that there are those who are more willing to throw names and speak empty rhetoric then actually address the facts at hand.
It doesn't help your position, and in fact, only detracts from it. - cocoamix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Appears that some people here may have gone through an apostasy during the last decade or so.
I was a Republican during much of the 90s. At the time I thought Clinton was a horrible, slimy President. In retrospect, I'm ashamed that I thought so poorly of him over a sex scandal.
Now that I know how awful a President REALLY can be, I really miss Clinton. It's true that you often don't know how good off you are until something's gone. - bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34"My ventures in media are not as important to me as spreading my personal political beliefs" - Rupert Murdoch
Wild huh... - RenZ87, on 10/12/2007, -6/+36What is he lying about? Is there a female intern in the room or something? Don't try to make false assertions that are unsupported by evidence and reality.
- snockhockster, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34What never fails to amaze me is that when I watch Fox and see a live interview, later on the commentators *ahem* I mean reporters comment about it drastically change what was said. They "sum it up" for you instead of actually showing it because interpreting it is too difficult for some apparently.
It's almost like how they are hyping the interview as "Crazed Clinton" and have continuously referred to him as "angry" in the interview. Already trying to shape the perceptions of those who want Fox to tell them what they should think about it.
I think President Clinton had a good point on the "wag the dog" and about how the republicans are manipulating fear for votes... among other things.
What I can't understand is how any republican can rationalize Ney not being forced to resign his position, but can ignore all the valid points Clinton has.
Truthiness4tw - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34dmh:
>They have Juan Williams and Mara Liasson on Fox News Sunday, Alan Colmes on their second highest rated show
You're either retarded or purposefully dishonest. Juan Williams? Four against one on that show, and they interrupt him. And he's a moderate! Colmes? He gets about three questions in, he's a mouse, weak and half the time he agrees with them.
They like to have a faux opponent because it makes their position sound more believable. - willistg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31not letting Chris get a word in? The mother ***** asked Clin-TON a question and then wouldn't let him answer. Clin-TON was the best republican prez.
- RenZ87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31Is that your opinion or can you actually back it up? Seriously, you should read Richard Clarke's book.
- whiteguysamurai, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32What a perfect person to show the bias of the faux news network-republican happy fun time infomercial.
Not only did he not back down, he tore that idiot a new *****.
And he just sunk into his chair and smirked like the little coward he is.
I hope more democrats take Mr. Clinton's lead, and stand up to these *****. - Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -11/+38Fox news rating are dropping actually. It was a story here on Digg a lil while back. CNN/MSNBC are gaining in ratings. So obviously people are getting tired of the lies.
- lucidmatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Given. He was GIVEN more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime. Furthermore, he has bankrupted nearly every firm he has been in charge of. So he can start as many businesses as he wants, and if he fails at them all, will he still continue to be successful?
And what job, pray tell is being done? Bankrupting the United States with an unending conflict in Iraq? Fomenting hatred and scorn throughout the world? Because he hasn't stopped worldwide terrorism, in fact, he hasn't even staunched it. - Koopa, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28Here's the best link I can find for the Bush-Blitzer interview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBiwqiT4_Nk
I guess it was first done on Sept. 21, but I saw a rerun this morning I guess.
He just kinda keeps repeating his talking points:
1) There is no civil war in Iraq.
2) I consult with the "people on the ground" who know more about what's going on than reporters who are just "speculating".
3) I discovered that Iraq was an imminent threat after 9/11. - audi100quattro, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32You mean putting food on you family and that they're gonna get killed by terrorists unless you vote Republican?
- Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30What makes it worse is that his father was/is such a respectable journalist. I really wonder if he is proud of his son or not... it can't be easy for him.
- Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Alan Colmes is the funny looking guy that is only there to prop up the main act. Fox intentionally found a goofy looking guy that would be a perfect example of democrats. Spineless, bad at debating, funny looking, wishywashy, willing to concede arguments to his masters.
- jessssse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26my favorite part is that clinton actually takes some accountability in regards to his failure to get bin laden. i can't imagine bush ever doing that.
- sharpfork, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26@p51- By saying you "could care less," you are saying that you are capable of caring less than you do which means you care. The expression is "could NOT care less."
That being said, Clinton made it very clear that he was ambushed in the interview. Yes, he was a cornered dog; but, he was capable of a decent debate and even admitted "failure" in not getting rid of Osama. He did make the point that he at least tired to do something about Osama pre 9/11 which is much more than the NOTHING Bush did.
Bush would have mumbled some crap about staying the course or mission accomplished and ended the interview. - rakaur, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26Clinton: I tried to catch him, but failed.
Fox Lovers: THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS, HE FAILED.
Normal People: But at least he trie--
Fox Lovers: SHUT UP, CUT THEIR MICS. - garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23I love how just about everyone has been modded down for praising Clinton.
- RenZ87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23@dmh11686
You should see how he formulated the question. It was dishonest. Here is the entire first half of the interview.
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/09/24/fox-clinton-interview-part-1-osama-bin-laden/ - lucidmatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23@Zethris.
Okay. I'll bite. How was GWB successfull before getting into public office? Two failed oil companies, and running the Texas Rangers into the ground and trading off their top talent. What made him successful, other than having rich parents?
That being said, no, he wouldn't say he's accountable. He doesn't believe he makes mistakes. First debate with John Kerry, question posed "What mistakes do you think you have made in the past four years?" "Mistakes? I dont think I've made any". Such is his attitude. NO accountability. Everyone makes mistakes, especially the President of the United States. It happens, it's human. However, GWB has consistently refused to admit to mistakes, or even be held accountable for the actions of people he appoints. - serpentor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23Koopa - When/where was the Bush inerview with Wolf Blitzer today? Would like to watch it, thx.
- Dipsomaniac, on 10/12/2007, -11/+30@cliffzdude:
THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Read the Senate report.
Jesus Christ, how long are you dittoheads going to keep telling the same lies? - garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Modifying the constitution would take probably at least 3 years and it needs 2/3rds of the congress and senate to support it (which both are controlled by the republicans) so it's unlikely : Besides, that would allow Bush to run again, and although I doubt he would get re-elected by the people, he would definitely get re-elected by Diebold.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22dmh:
>Thanks for the insult but I'm neither retarded or dishonest. Juan Williams does a good job presenting the democrat view.
For the three sentences he gets in? Get real. Come on, some debates are worth having, some are a joke. This one is a joke.
>Mara Liasson is also a democrat. And Chris Wallace is just the mediator so it is actually 2 to 2.
Mara Liasson never disagrees with anyone, and half the time even she's not on. And Chris Wallace is not a "mediator". His bias is loud and easily noticeable.
>And for you to simply say that Alan Colmes is to timid is ridiculous, he gets just as much time on as Sean Hannity.
More *****. You're just spewing it out. Here are some facts for this fake debate we're having about Hannity and Colmes:
WORDS
Total words: 1483 (100%)
Colmes words: 295 (19.9%)
Forbes words: 633 (42.7%)
Hannity words: 555 (37.4%)
Hannity/Forbes words combined: 1188 (80.1%)
Eighty point one percent. Just be honest for what Fox is: it's ***** Pravda.
Here's another one:
"The "signature political news show" of the Fox News Channel, Special Report with Brit Hume, was found to have a strong bias in their choice of guests, overwhelmingly choosing conservatives over 'non-conservatives' to appear in interviews. This was the finding of the media watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), noted in a study taken across a 19 week period from June 2003 to December 2003. They found the ratio of conservative guests to liberals to be 50:6. [13]" - deesnutz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25Bill Clinton bitch slapped Chris Wallace. Wallace tried to sand bag Clinton and Bill shoved it up Wallace's ass. Clinton didn't back down and told it like it was. Wallace tried to change the subject but Clinton didn't have any of it. I would love to see if Bush Lite could of handled it. Yeah, right. Now that would have been funny.
Bill Clinton Rocks!
http://www.democratgiftshop.com/cgi-bin/store/store.cgi/571511948/liberal_shop/1272470 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Damn you're stupid, Zethris. He can form an opinion by watching these clips online.
You have heard of the Interweb, haven't you? It's a series of trucks and tubes. - themoderate, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21I am just amazed. Look at my name. I am not a liberal. In fact, I tend to vote Republican (Bush is not a Republican). Open your eyes and watch Fox News. I do agree that they have some people on sometimes who can argue a point, but it is rare. Colmes is a very poor example. Wesley Clarke is a good example, but I have only seen him on Fox once in probably the past 5 months. I am talking about someone who will criticize the network, not someone who is on their payroll. Don't automatically assume that because someone is criticizing your precious Fox News that they are a Democrat. I know what I am talking about, and I am in the great majority of people who KNOW that Fox News is biased in the way they ask questions, who they ask questions to, and how they advertise interviews.
- rakaur, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Is "Zethris" code for "Ann Coulter"?
I don't know anyone else that's vehement enough to spew out garbage phrases such as "liberal cancer." - shreveyboy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+24I hate fox news. The reporters there always feel like their questions are more important than the responses that their getting. They're all in love with the sound of thier own voices. And it shows. Stupid faux news.
