Clinton hysteria = Media hysteria = Partisan hysteria

Recently (although it's a bit of old news now), Bill Clinton was on Fox News and was questioned as to why he didn't do more to capture Osama bin Laden and prevent terrorism from reaching the US. Clinton went off on the Fox News's Chris Wallace ranting about right-wingers this and fox that and hit piece, etc.. Typically, two things happen as a result of this:

1) The media goes into a frenzy of this "new top story" of an "outrageous Clinton" that turned into a mad man (which he did, really) and doesn't bother to focus on much of anything he said after he stopped his temper tantrum. Not that any of it was real honesty, but that's the perfect opportunity for the media to expose this lie that has been going on for years now. The Daily Show showcased this fantastically

2) The left is now making a backlash saying "what about Bush?", and crying for "poor innocent Clinton". The media will most likely never focus on Bush's lack of interest in bin Laden because we all know that would make them "liberal" and such strong criticism (and hollow) is what really hurt we the people during the Reagan years. Big Media is filled with enough disinformation to gloss over most of Bush's mistakes/crimes and throws in just enough to forget about the more serious crimes of Clinton.

Clinotn had more than one chance to nab bin Laden, but he chose not to. Why? Well that's really simple: bin Laden is the boogey man that they need to help keep the people nice and afraid so they can pass their repugnant police-state legislation. Democrats try to brush off Clinton's oversight with excuses and claims that it's a lie, and Republicans do the same with Bush my just repeating whatever their favourite discredited media pundit has told them (commonly, "bin Laden doesn't matter")

People need to wake up and understand that this left/right thing is a phoney paradigm. There isn't much difference between Clinton and Bush other than some social issues. There wasn't much difference between Bush and Kerry, either. All this back and forth bickering, it just polarises each side and people pay less attention to issues and more attention to partisan matters. It's pathetic each time. A great distraction, while America descends into a Police-State
