A tabloid paper run and owned by very conservative leaning owners prints out an article about an unathorized biography written by a known conservative smear artist and presents it as "fact" that Bill Clinton called Obama something.

I feel dumber for having wasted my time even looking into this.

This is more "teach the controversy" style bullshit.

Make bullshit statement
Have everyone around you report it as a "new allegation has surfaced".
Eventually it spreads around and idiots who hear it word of mouth start reciting it as fact.

Don't tell us what we're actually reading, we're supposed to use the Clintons to bash Obama! Jump on the bandwagon already!

You don't accomplish the things Bill Clinton has pulled off without being supremely arrogant.

bill clinton wasn't that popular until after his impeachment trial. only reason he won was of ross perot and the second time the republicans nominated the most boring person they could find.

On an honest level, aren't they all technically amateurs unless they are on their second presidential term?

Presidents of the United States are all professionals, since they are paid for their service.

Do you even know the meaning of "amateur"?

I guess if anyone is in a position to know it would be Clinton. That said, looking at the last 3.5 years it's pretty obvious so this isn't a great revelation.

I'm more concerned with my own observations than Clinton, who was probably badly quoted for a desired effect anyway.
