Freeper Madness

This letter appeared in the Inquirer this morning (so many unsubstantiated and unattributed charges, so little time)...

It's funny that letter writer Dave Posmontier ("Dereliction of duty," March 9) is supporting Democrats who suddenly pretend to care about crime and ethics, given that their party is historically soft on crime and ethics. The Democrats have long since mastered suppressing investigations, burying evidence, and passing the blame to political foes.

If Democrats are so concerned about ethics in Congress, why are they so silent on the recently released Barrett Report on the Henry Cisneros probe? If Democrats are so honest and ethical, why did independent counsel David Barrett remark in a press release that his report should have been titled, "What we were prevented from investigating"? (The report is available online at http://barrett.oic.gov.)

This is only one of numerous Clinton scandals that haunt America. Posmontier is right about one thing: Voters should remember this come Election Day. Remember, also, that, when it comes to dishonesty, corruption and cover-ups, Republicans are rank amateurs compared to Democrats.

I know I said something awhile back about Barrett's witch hunt on Henry Cisneros, but the information from this link at Talk Left is a good rebuttal also.
