Did Clinton really throw gays under the bus?

[LibInternationalist]

Because I'm not inclined to believe that story

[libbygurl]

1. Yes, how reliable is that story, really? Can't believe it

until I see incontrovertible proof/reliable sources.

2. Order Dean's book.

It is a quick inspiring read. Very clearly written with a passion for our country. I don't want to post the quote here...Not just Newsweek. Ok?

[lancdem]

9. Howard Dean quotes Clinton on gays?

Huh?

[madfloridian]

11. Read the book or find a review at MSNBC or WP.

I am not going to post it here, but yes he pulled this on Dean.

17. Check your mail.

3. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

Honestly.

[sangh0]

4. Incredibly dumb

but then, I've got a list of DUers' who believed Drudge's "Kerry's Intern Lover"

[jpgray]

5. Impossible to guess, but he signed DOMA, didn't he?

Kerry and Clinton would have maintained their historical positions on the subject.

6. Clinton Publicly Supported the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996

and gladly signed the bill. It allowed states free reign in defining marriage but forbid the federal government from recognizing same-sex unions.

7. Depends on what year?

He did it in 1993 with Don't Ask/Don't Tell.

He did it in 1996 with DOMA.

So, of course, it is impossible to believe that he would do it in 2004.

8. Look, we don't know the context of anything said....

For all we know, he threw it out there flippantly, or not at all.

[lancdem]

10. It could've happened

but all we know was what was in the Advocate. I don't think anyone has posted the Newsweek passage.

[merh]

12. He also has thrown us under the bus!

He said it was time to stop whining about the election!

F**k him!

[madfloridian]

13. When did he say that?

:hi:

[merh]

15. The news on AAR just reported that he said that

I trying to find a link - where ever AAR gets its news from. (legit, not satire version)

[madfloridian]

18. Well, remember the "crying in your teacups" statement?

"Quit crying in your teacups" about the 2000 election. Kerry said that.

[merh]

19. What is this a tit for tat kind of thing?

Don't start the big dawg is better than kerry stuff.

[madfloridian]

22. No, I just meant the lack of support from our party leaders...

About the vote counting. Sorry you misunderstood me.

[merh]

21. Here is you a link to Clinton's comment

14. Oh come on! Who could possibly benefit from a rift between Clinton & Kerry

Some people just go Roving all over the map with these conspiracy theories.

[madfloridian]

16. Hilary.

20. I have to say Clinton is a brillian politician. One like him we may

not see again in my lifetime. The truth is, this would have probably worked well for Kerry. As a gay person, he can keep his civil unions, so it would have been apples and apples to me.
