Templegate

Al Gore is benefiting from the most massive and dangerous coverup of a fund-raising scandal in the history of our republic.

 Oh, horseshit!
 "Dangerous coverup?"

- - - - - - - - - - - -
By David Horowitz

 Why have the nightly newscasts been completely silent about the recently leaked LaBella memorandum, which suggests that President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and first lady Hillary Clinton may have been involved in criminal machinations with Chinese intelligence agents? 

Why have they been silent?
Because there's no story, asshole.
We've been thru seven years of "could be's" and "might be's"
and you hateful fucks always come up with a dry hole.
Hillary and Gore "might be" Martians. Should we investigate that, too?
Nobody gives a fuck about Republican paranoia witchhunts now.
 

That was the provocative question raised the other day by Bill O'Reilly on his popular Fox News show, "The O'Reilly Factor." 

Oh, Christ, no wonder!
That's not a provocative question.
It's a ratings-driven whore question for red-meat Clinton haters.
If O'Reilly's on the case it must be true, right?
"Dangerous cover-up" in-fucking-deed!

Never, perhaps, has such potentially explosive information been so blithely ignored by those who are supposed to track it down. 

There you go again - "potentially" explosive information?
You are "potentially" a fair a decent writer, but that's a far cry from
being a fair and decent writer.
 

Take the Buddhist Temple affair.

Yeah, lets!
Let's spend five years and $55,000,000 checking it out.
Let's get Ken Starr and Robert Ray to scour Arkansas looking for women who may have slept with a Buddhist monk, you sick bastard!

How many Americans understand 

How many Americans understand?
I'll guess 43,270.
Am I close?

...that the organizer of the temple fund-raiser (John Huang), the collector of illegal Chinese money from Buddhist nuns (Maria Hsia) and the man Huang selected to sit at the vice president's left hand during the affair (Hsia was on his right) had one striking feature in common: They are all identified agents of Chinese Communist intelligence services. 

Oh, please!
"Identified" by whom?
O'Reilly?   Limbaugh?  Falwell?  Brit Hume?  Laura Schlessinger?
 

The Buddhist Temple affair is one small piece of the biggest, most frightening scandal ever to touch the White House.

You can't be serious!
"Biggest, most frightening scandal ever?"
That would be:
- bigger than FDR knowing about Pearl Harbor?
- bigger than the Bay of Pigs?
- bigger than Francis Gary Powers?
- bigger than Watergate, you stupid partisan ass?
- bigger than Iran-Contra, that needed presidential pardons?
Where did you get your diploma? From EIB University?

It has ramifications that go far beyond the corruption of a presidential election -- they directly affect the threat of war currently brewing over Taiwan. This is not the first series of Chinese war threats over Taiwan, nor is it the first time that the Clinton-Gore-China network has been implicated in them. In fact, when China last made war noises, accompanied by missile salvos across the Taiwan Straits, Charlie Trie -- a charter member of the conspiracy -- arrived at the White House with a laundry list of instructions to Clinton on how to deal with the crisis. 

Horseshit!
Taiwan and China will fight as long as the Protestants/Catholics,
as long as the Arabs/Jews
as long as the Sunni/Shiites
as long as the Paki's and the Indi's
etc etc etc

Trie, a Clinton crony from Arkansas who was convicted of violating U.S. election laws, 

Oh, yeah, Charlie Trie must be the "most dangerous spy in history" 
because he liked to be seen at the White House. 
Christ, what a stretch.
He was "so guilty," he got probation.

...has been tied to both the Chinese underworld and the Chinese dictatorship 
by U.S. intelligence agencies. The instructions he delivered to his old friend clearly reflected the views of Beijing.

If Trie is/was so guilty, why didn't he flee to China?
Why did he stay and face his "probation?"

Yet the major American media have kept the public ignorant of the importance of these revelations.

That's not true.
The American press is 100 percent dirty whores.
They would sell their parents for a one-day story.
You either don't know the press, or you're a lying bastard.
I'm leaning towards the latter.
 

Consequently, even to raise them so bluntly in the midst of the media blackout is to risk being marginalized as a conspiracy zealot. That is because the machinations of the participants are being protected by the most massive coverup in American history. 

Gee, is it even bigger than the Roswell cover-up?
How about that alien DNA thing Mulder and Scully uncovered?
is it bigger than that?
Thank Koresh we have David Horowitz the Ho to save us!

More than 100 subpoenaed witnesses have taken the Fifth Amendment or fled the country, often with the connivance and support of the Clinton White House. 

Horseshit, horshshit, horseshit!
More than 100 Republicans have been arrested for wife-beating, 
child-rape or ran for president in the twentieth century.
Prove that statement is false and I'll vote for Smirk!

This is no less than one would expect when the administration itself is orchestrating the damage control.

That's a really smart statement that says a lot.

Consider how presidential contender Gore has defended his presence at the illegal Buddhist Temple fund-raiser. 

Good idea!
Let's all "consider" the "facts."

First, he claimed he didn't know that the temple event was a political fund-raiser, 

...and your proof  to the contrary is...

despite the fact that his staff, the Secret Service, the National Security Council, his "friend and supporter" Hsia and his 1996 campaign's chief fund-raiser, Huang, all knew that it was a political fund-raiser. 

During a campaign, candidates are swept from one function to another. Last week, Smirk was in Oklahoma City for a couple of hours.
Do you think he can name the buildings he entered, the names of the
schools he attended and the names of each host at each stop?

I'd be surprised if he can name the capitol of Oklahoma. 
Also, remember this quote from Dole in 1996?
"Log Cabin Republicans? Really? In a campaign, the candidate 
never knows where the money is coming from."
 

In fact, speeches at the fund-raiser itself referred to the fact that it was a fund-raiser. 

"Speeches referred?"
"Speeches referred?"
What the hell does that mean?
Whose speech referred to that?
Gore said, "I'm here at the Temple to raise funds?"
Make some sense, dumbass!

And Gore himself sent out an e-mail mentioning a fund-raiser on that date.

Wait - Gore himself sent the e-mails out?
I guess that's possible, but very unlikely

Yes, he probably had many, many stops that day. 
1. The plane sets down.
2. Breakfast 
3. A stop at a factory 
4. Lunch. 
5. An auto plant 
6. A Union hall
7. Dinner
If Gore was in a campaign and failed to raise money each day, 
he probably would've lost, because without campaign reform, 
the candidate must raise $100,000 per day or let the Republican win.
Of COURSE there was a fundraiser that day, you ignorant slut!
 

Yet, when confronted, he still claims he didn't know it was fund-raiser. 

Gee, with an "airtight" case like that, you should be a lawyer!
The NERVE of Gore, refusing to confess when David Horowitz has
this "mountain of proof?"   What chutzpa!!

When it comes to telling the truth about this matter, Gore makes Clinton look like George Washington. 

There you go, Rush.
Let me get this straight:
Clinton is the greatest anti-Christ of all time and space, and if Gore
makes a campaign mistake, Clinton becomes George Washington?
Part of the trick to being a successful liar is to get within ten 
light-years of the truth so the children don't catch you lying.
Mr. Horowitz, is Scaife paying you to invent this crap?
Besides a Orthodox ditto-monkey, who'd buy it? 

Of course Gore is more brazen than the usual baldfaced liar. He wants not only to ignore the criminal nature of the transactions he has been involved in, but to present them as a conversion experience. Better yet: He wants to use them as a launching pad for his new persona -- Crusader Al -- the born-again champion of campaign-finance reform.

Hey, Mr. Honesty!
If Gore broke some laws, why don't you arrest him?
Better yet, impeach his crooked ass, 

ha ha

"I have learned from my mistakes," Gore has told the press. "Like John McCain, I bring the passion that comes from personal experience to the battle for campaign-finance reform." Just when is the last time McCain worked with Communist agents to inject illegal Chinese money into a presidential campaign, and conducted the whole tawdry transaction in a temple of God?

Objection!
Assumes bullshit nobody outside of Fox News would believe.
You think Gore accepted a bundle of dirty cash inside the temple?
Who told you that?
O'Reilly or Hannity?
You couldn't make in in the science fiction genre - too fanciful.

The coverup of Chinese Communist penetration of the Clinton-Gore administration is now being conducted by the entire Democratic Party, 
which apparently believes its electoral life is at stake in the battle. 

Well, at least that part is true.
The best way to keep "dangerous crimes" a secret is to involve
every person in, your words, "the ENTIRE Democratic party."

The only reason I can think of for Salon to give you a column inch is 
the same reason Fox Whore News gives Colmes a microphone. 
You're so goddamn inept at making a coherent point, you end up making your target look better than when you started!
I wonder how many people swung left after reading your 
litany of  Al Gore could be's and might be's?

Already, a party line has emerged on the issue. 

Duh!

How do Democrats respond to the appearance of the LaBella memorandum, which reveals that a top Justice Department official and the director of the FBI suspect that the president, the vice president and the first lady might be involved in criminal activities? 

Well, I'll be goddamned.
You've come up with a CLAIM that "a top official" and the FBI director, who's been fighting Clinton since he arrived, 
"SUSPECT" that they "MIGHT" be involved?"

Usually, we ask for proof, but if you're THAT sure...
Why have a trail?
Let's just lynch 'em.

Well, as Energy Secretary and possible Gore running-mate Bill Richardson told Brit Hume on Fox News a week ago, it's old hat and, therefore, trivial.

Hume: Maria Hsia has been convicted of five counts related to [the Buddhist Temple affair]. There were violations of existing law. How does it help for the vice president to propose new [campaign-finance] laws when the event that he's saying he made a mistake at was one in which existing laws were violated?

Richardson was too polite, so I'll answer this. 

Since you have NOTHING on Gore but the Internet/Love Canal "scandal,"  and the always popular "No controlling legal authority,"
why not re-hash ALLEGATIONS from 4 years ago and hope the
red-meat Clinton haters tune in to Fox Whore News for the latest?

Did you hear Pigboy today, March 20th?
"Folks, we're NOT going to catch them, it's folly to try."

Democrats probably think of this as merely a Clintonesque lie, depending what the meaning of old is.

No, we think a party of  mean-spirited assholes without a clue want to destroy the team that saved us from the Reagan Error at any cost. Christ, we saw what you guys did to McCain, and he's one of you!
If you were willing to call McCain a North Vietnamese collaberator, a womanizing, double-bastard creating, hot-tempered psychopath who wants to stop all breast cancer research so he can pollute the air, well, no wonder you increase the level a hatred for the GOOD guys.

Richardson is well aware that the "old" story is the suppression of the LaBella memorandum by Clinton's coverup chief Janet Reno. 

Hey, asshole, it's a goddamn MEMO!
It's one man's OPINION, and he wrote it down.
You're seeing more smoking guns than Matt Bevalacua.

The fact that the memorandum has just been leaked is as new as Hsia's five felony convictions. 

Huh?
Reread that last sentence.
What did he say?
I think the fact that there's a leak shows that there's a ditto-monkey
in the Justice Department - hardly a surprise, Sherlock!

Yet there was Geraldine Ferraro two days later on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes," making the same Orwellian argument ("This has been going on for like three or four years -- the people are fed up with this stuff -- names and instances that nobody cares about.") And other Democratic spokesmen on other programs were repeating the same political mantra.

The only Orwellian reference I see is the 1,984 times you Cro-Mags
struck out trying to pin something on the very-innocent Clinton. Sixteen more tries and Clinton has fucked you losers 2000 times.
Aren't you tired yet?

Let me define your choices for you:

1. Clinton is a smart crook, but we're too goddamn stupid to catch him.
2. There's no convincing evidence of any Clinton crimes of any kind, 
     we're just exercising our Constitutional oversight responsibility.

You decide, Einstein.
Clinton is innocent, or your team is all-pro in the Gilligan conference.

These new Democratic exculpations for the White House crime suspects bear distinct echoes of last year's charade: 

"Exculpations bear echoes of the charade?"

ha ha

That sounded downright Catholic.
Tell me, Mr Horowitz. ...what did you really mean to say?
 

"They've been after this president for years."

That's true.

"Everybody does it." 

That's also true.

"It's only about sex." 

Suddenly, you're telling the truth?
Wassup with that?

But it was one thing to defend a lying criminal in the White House pretending that he didn't really commit perjury or obstruct the course of justice, 

ha ha

That's not how the REPUBLICAN-controlled Congress saw it!
 

...if you thought the mess was indeed only about sex. It is quite another matter when the issue at hand is the subversion of the electoral process by the intelligence agencies of a hostile dictatorship, with possible crimes ranging 
from foreign influence peddling to treason.

"Possible crimes," again, Mr. McCarthy?
"Possible crimes?"

Is there anything more beautiful than a GOP-controlled 
grand jury searching for "possible" Democratic "crimes?"

Given all this, the continuing silence by the news networks is, as O'Reilly suggests, inexcusable. 
salon.com | March 20, 2000

Of, hell yes!
If Murdoch-bought-and-paid-for whore Bill O'Reilly is suspicious
of something a Democrat may've might've possibly done,
that's good enough for us. 

Mr. Horowitz, you've unearthed a dangerous scandal!
Rush, Laura and the House Managers are with you.
