is the one of Bill Clinton burning the America flag while he was in Russia in the 70's.

I know, it's hard to keep track of all the "this video will destroy the Democrats" videos floating around out there.

The very weird part about this charge is that it would fall flat precisely with the white working class guys that they would supposedly capture here, since those guys are also adept code-switchers. The whole thing is weird and dumb, but really displays how pathetic they are. At some point, even the righties are going to look at Drudge and hannity and the rest of the crew and say, "That's it? That was what you got me all excited about? Really?"

That is the biggest dud I’ve ever witnessed. There was absolutely nothing there. With all the things we can nail Obama on and that is touted as the smoking gun. I’m pissed!! Hannity and Tucker Carlson are morons.

Sorry, not a game changer or even a headline in the newspapers. The LSM will ignore or better yet, defend his actions
