Snopes agitprop dissected by citizen's group
free...@hotmail.com
in the nation's second-largest market and misrepresented, with ignorance,
malice, or some combination thereof, the story behind the trail of dead
bodies that has followed Bill Clinton for twenty years.
I know the readers of alt.folklore.urban are reasonable people who recognize
that politcal murder has been a reality and part of history since the folks
hanging between the Tigris and Euphrates decided to start organizing
themselves.
So all AFUists, Kibologists, SubGenii, once and future RATMers and any who are
willing to freely and openly discuss the facts, willing to ask questions,
willing to challenge wisdoms both conventional and unconventional, "left" and
"right," are invited to join in an open discussion of the so-called "Clinton
Body Count" at:
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3639284c352a.htm
If nothing else, just study all the vectoring.

Indeed. Readers of alt.folklore.urban also recognize that just because
someone dies, it does not automatically follow that they were murdered
on the orders of the President of the United States.

Where you will find Barbara Mikkelson's article, available on the web
at <http://snopes.simplenet.com/faxlore/clinton.htm>, in which she
subjects the "Clinton Body Count" story to the kind of skeptical
criticism for which she is well-known.
Further discussion of this topic will not be welcome in
alt.folklore.urban, because it will simply attract loons, and we've
got enough boring nitwits floating around here already.
Follow-ups set.

Kind regards,

(and set followups elsewhere, btw, but I've put them back here
in case others from AFU may try to find the article and run into
the same problem I did):

Not quite. I tried that URL and it was dead. (Hmmmmm ... maybe it's a ...
Nope. Won't go there.)
Anyway. The URL that works to retrieve the article is
http://snopes.simplenet.com/spoons/faxlore/clinton.htm
By the way, whoever's in charge (Barbara? Izzat you?) of the search engine
http://snopes.simplenet.com/info/search/search.htm
might be interested to know that searching for "Clinton" and "body" and
"count" gave me a "Sorry, no can find" result, as did a search for "Clinton"
and "body". The one that eventually worked was for only the word "Clinton."
It is a fascinating rebuttal to that "death list" thing, and I've
forwarded the URL to a couple of people I know who swear by the truth
of the original list.
Thanks for mentioning it, Mike.

Oops. I lifted the URL from the execrable place which the original
post referred to, rather than going to check it for myself.
