Well, now we know how Clinton responds.
It's great watching!
Having seen a full version posted on 911blogger: In logical terms, Clinton produced a fallacy at the key moment, when 9/11 was called an inside job (he brought up the "moving" yet completely irrelevant story about HRC having known one of the dead, a piece of emotional bullying that of course addresses nothing about who did the attacks). But emotionally and politically, it worked just fine. He dominated the encounter at every stage, showing once again how much he can teach to all lying politicians. The protesters didn't help by getting their first volley wrong (Clinton's been to the Bilderberg, not the Bohemian Grove meetings) or with the once-again easily dismissible "New World Order" stuff that makes them look crazy and him look right to turn his back on them.
That was very telling how Clinton warned the audience: "Watch out, or you're gonna give Minnesota a bad reputation." Kind of like he was threatening the organizers or the democrats in MN that they better keep their people in check or he (and the other big money dems) won't be supporting/visiting their state.
Maybe the Clintons should also start screening their audience for dissenters before hand like Bush does.
This action was a tactical error for the reason that Bill Clinton is viewed as highly reasonable on an international level, and a negative opinion from him might carry a lot of weight among the mainstream left. The right question had to be asked. It was not. And the statements made did not reflect well on the movement.
Whatever you think of the premise of the 'scum chart' campaign, it is being executed in a manner that is serving to further marginalize the movement. And its getting just as much attention, if not more, than just about anything else in the movement right now.
How should we respond?
The scum chart campaign does not appear to be a charitable campaign. The general public does not benefit, nor do they even become challenged. It is the contribution of the "conspiracy theorist" as the general public knows well and can easily sidestep.
The questions they are asking are accusations. I would gather that for an interruption in a public event to even get close to working, it would need to consist of a genuine question, quite possibly addressed to the audience.
How can we be charitable in regards to the "scum chart"?
