McCarthy bis
Quote van de dag
Vandaag trok oud-president Bill Clinton (Dem.–NY) het patriotisme van Barack Obama (Dem.–IL), de tegenkandidaat van zijn vrouw, in twijfel.
I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country.
→ Bill Clinton (Dem.–NY)[1]
Maar de quote van de dag is eigenlijk de reactie hierop van Gordon Fischer (Dem.–IA), een Democratische hoge piet in Iowa:
When Joe McCarthy questioned others’ patriotism, McCarthy (1) actually believed, at least aparently, the questions were genuine, and (2) he did so in order to build up, not tear down, his own party, the GOP. Bill Clinton cannot possibly seriously believe Obama is not a patriot, and cannot possibly be said to be helping — instead he is hurting — his own party. B. Clinton should never be forgiven. Period. This is a stain on his legacy, much worse, much deeper, than the one on Monica’s blue dress.
