Larry has taken to the habit of calling me a hypocrite lately in an effort to defend his own and his buddy Clem's hypocrisy.

Clem has been bleating for years that I have defended a 'serial rapist' namely Bill Clinton, because I had the audacity to say that I don't believe that you should refer to someone as a 'rapist' if they have never been convicted of that crime, or even charged with that crime.

And I pointed out the fact that Juanita Broaddrick first swore under oath that the allegations that Clinton had ever made any unwanted advances towards her were untrue, and then later in a television interview changed her mind.

I never said that Clinton did not rape Broaddrick. I said I don't know if he did, and that the only two people who really know what happened were the two people in the room.
I guess Clem was in the room because he is 100% sure that it happened.

Meanwhile, Clem has been twisting himself into a pretzel to deny that Trump has ever touched a woman inappropriately.
He has said that what Trump was accused of doing was just 'vulgar seduction' and he was just trying to 'read' the women to see if they were open to being seduced.
He also said that the women's 'body language' and 'conversation' led Trump to believe that they were open to being kissed or groped.
It was all just a matter of 'miscommunication.'

And yesterday he started to throw around the L word saying, "Are we supposed to assume that they're all telling the truth?

So does larry ever call out his buddy Clem for his hypocrisy?
No. He steps in and defends him by attacking me.

Here's a little lesson in hypocrisy for both larry and Clem.

I went digging at the old forum today to see what you guys had to say about Obama's associations with Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers.
It's hard to find stuff over there, since a lot of content was lost when the site crashed.
But I found a few things.
Interestingly enough you guys were still talking about Wright and Ayers in 2013 and 2014.





This is a thread started by larryc12 that quotes a piece from Newsweek by Matt Patterson, who quotes a piece by Norm Podhoretz:



Obama was given a pass, held to a lower standard because of his skin color?
That's laughable considering the number of passes that the orange guy has received and is still receiving.

I'm sure that anyone who was around the old place in 2008 remembers the big hooplah over Obama's associations with Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers.
Clem was one of the most vocal people on that issue.

Fast forward to the man who will be sworn in as POTUS tomorrow.

Trump pals around with people like convicted rapist Mike Tyson.
He said that Tyson's conviction for rape was a 'travesty.'

He had convicted murderer Don King speak at his rallies, and he just had him for a visit at Mar-a-Lago.
He rang in the new year with convicted felon Joey 'No Socks' Cinque.
Trump boasted about his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein hung out at Mar-a-Lago and Trump attended Epstein's parties, where there were under age girls in attendance.
One of those girls has filed a lawsuit claiming that Trump raped her when she was 13.

Neither Bill Ayers nor Jeremiah Wright have an convictions on their record, and their ties to Obama were quite a bit more tenuous than Trump's ties to the people I have mentioned.
Trump hanged with and still hangs with those people socially on a regular basis.

I have posted about Trump's associations with these people most recently about Don King and Joey 'No Socks' Cinque.
The response I got from Clem was:


So that's his standard.
As long as Trump doesn't hire any of these people to work in the WH, Clem is good with him hanging with a bunch of convicted criminals.

And notice how he just had to take a shot at Clinton who had nothing to do with that. LOL

Someone needs to refresh my memory on which convicted murderers or felons Clinton hired to work in the WH.
I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Obama never brought Wright or Ayers to work in the WH, and he wasn't even elected yet when Clem had no problem condemning him.

So tell me larry, how do you feel about the people that our soon to be POTUS 'pals around' with?
Are they better than Ayers or Wright?

And will you call out your buddy Clem for his hypocrisy like you call me out on mine?
Right wingers who screeched about Ayers and Wright during the 2008 presidential race have been silent about Trump's close associations with convicted criminals.
But larry only sees hypocrisy in me.
