So you claim I'm "unable to bring any actual facts to the table?" A bold claim. Let's see if you can back it up. I'll ask you the same questions I asked Chaos. Will you run like he did?
![]() Are you denying the fact that a military photographer and about half a dozen highly regarded forensic pathologists, all of whom were experts in gunshot wounds, publically stated that Ron Brown had what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head and he should have been autopsied? Yes or no? Are you denying the fact that Miquel Rodriguez, the man Ken Star picked to head his investigation of the death of Vince Foster, publically stated that the investigation was a sham and that he saw photographic evidence that Foster was shot in the neck, totally contradicting the official story? Yes or no? Are you denying the fact that the man who wrote the articles of impeachment against Nixon is on the record stating that "Clinton's abuse of the IRS was far worse than Nixon's, and that Clinton should have been impeached a second time" and that "[i]n his conduct of the office of the president of the United States, William J. Clinton has given or received bribes"? Yes or no? Are you denying the fact that handwritten FBI interview notes from May 9, 1994 show that Lisa Foster told the investigators Vince was "fighting" a "prescription" for sleeping pills dispensed several months earlier for insomnia, but the typed FD-302 report of the interview states in the equivalent location that Foster had been "fighting depression"? Yes or no? Are you denying the fact that three well known handwriting experts have gone on record stating the so-called suicide note, that Clinton officials claim to have found in Foster's briefcase days after it had been searched in front of Park Police and nothing was found, is an obvious forgery? Yes or no? Let's START with these five questions. Will you answer yes to any of them, thus proving you attempted to lie. Or will you answer "no" to all of them, thus proving you're a Truther? ![]() |

No doubt the sources for all the above are your usual extremist websites, but assuming they're all true:
Four of the five are opinions. No facts at all. Saying "It's a fact that so-and-so expressed an opinion which tends to support my position," is not terribly impressive, as "facts" go. The other is apparently a key fact in the, "reading Vince Foster's mind proves he couldn't have killed himself," nonsense. I wish you lots of luck with it. |

Well are you unclear as to what I'm referring to with those descriptions? Or are you one of the unwash, uninformed masses kept in the dark by the liberal media? Is your primary source of news the LATimes, for example? Because if it is, then that might explain why you seem unfamiliar with the term Rapegate. Because they never told their readers about the charges that he raped a women (actually several women) that surfaced during his impeachment. Assertions that, at least in one instance, FBI agents stated were quite credible.
They offered that opinion without my needing to ask them. Are you unaware of their published comments? In the dark about that too? Maybe you need new sources of information? Ever consider that? No, the folks who are intellectually AND MORALLY bankrupt are the ones still defending and supporting Clinton despite all we know about him. You in that group? |

If you're going to cite David Schippers as a source, you should probably note that the guy is a truther.source

I have no idea what you mean with this response. In one paragraph you alleged they were criminals and then in the next sentence you call them criminals. So I will ask again. Are the Clintons alleged criminals or are they criminals?
My second question that you ignored. What was the most recent crime the Clintons committed? |

Some of Manning's early playoff performances probably violated the Geneva Convention.

LOL! So you claim that it's unproven that a military photographer and about half a dozen highly regarded forensic pathologists stated Brown appeared to have what looked like a gunshot wound to the head and should have been autopsied? I see.
![]() Well, then you must think all of the linked, sourced material listed in the following post by me, for instance, http://www.internationalskeptics.com...7&postcount=74 was nothing but lies? Right? Isn't that exactly what you are claiming with your statement, Chaos? That you think Christopher Ruddy, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Washington Weekly, Carl Limbaucher, Wesley Phelan, Larry Klayman, Judicial Watch, and George Putnam simply fabricated those quotes by the military photographer and pathologists? That they are all liars? Right? But if that is true, then how do you explain what other articles and statements say? Because they certainly suggest that a photographer and pathologists were alleging what Ruddy, Limbaucher, Phelan, Klayman and Putnam quoted them saying in my post. For example ... http://www.cashill.com/ronbrown/time...bama_brown.htm
Quote:
Or take this statement from the same Cashill article:
Quote:
Also, from the Cashill article:
Quote:
Something about your beliefs just doesn't smell right, Chaos. Because you're claiming lots of people have cause to sue Cashill but none have. And you must also think I'm a liar. There's no way around that because, as I stated in http://www.internationalskeptics.com...7&postcount=74 (you read that thread before making your sweeping claim, right?), I've seen and posted here at JREF a video of CPO Janoski and Lt Colonel Cogswell (the military photographer and one of the military forensic pathologists in question) saying on camera what they are quoted saying by Ruddy and the other sources that you claim are lying. So you have to think I'm lying about that. But then how do you explain the fact that on the JREF thread where I actually posted that video, here … http://www.internationalskeptics.com...5&postcount=78 , there were lots of *skeptics* like you busy trying to discredit my assertions and embarrass me, yet not one poster … NOT EVEN ONE … pointed out that the video I linked didn't exist or claimed it didn't say exactly what I claimed? They just ignored it. Were my opponents on that thread just unobservant, Chaos? Are you claiming that beachnut, for example, to whom I specifically posted that video and then called a liar for essentially claiming what you are now claiming, wouldn't have pointed out immediately that my link to the video didn't work or say what I claimed, if it hadn't existed or said what I claimed? Hmmmmm? And notice maxpower1227 was on that thread (calling me a "deranged" "loon"). So I specifically pointed out the video to him. You think he is such a poor debater that he didn't catch what you seem to be claiming was an obvious lie? How about yodaluver28? I specifically challenged him regarding the Cogswell/Janoski video too … and asked if he was too lazy or too partisan to look at it. You don't think that would have motivated him to catch me in what you seem to be claiming was a transparent and easily disproven lie? Really? If so, I don't think you know human nature. And let's not forget Alt+F4 and JoeElison. I pointed out that video to both of them on that thread, as well. And they didn't catch me in what would have been an easily proven lie either. They ignored the video, too. And there were other posters present on that thread … some that are here on this thread. Sez Me, for example. And ANTPogo. And Upchurch. Are you suggesting that they are such a poor debaters, or so inattentive, that they wouldn't have jumped at reporting an obvious lie by me … if I had indeed lied as you seem to be claiming? They don't seem like poor debaters who would pass up the opportunity to embarrass me? But then that's my opinion. Now surely you are not suggesting ALL the above posters were so close minded that they didn't even watch the video I linked? After all, I was just satisfying their demands for … *evidence*. Of course they watched it. Right? And if they watched it, and it didn't show what I claimed, don't you think they would have immediately pointed that out and gloated? Or if the link I supplied didn't work, don't you think they'd have pointed THAT out? Yet they didn't. How do you explain that? Since they didn't, I think folks can safely assume that the video existed and said exactly what I claimed. It corroborated the accuracy of the quotes in the sources for both Janoski and Cogswell. And if those quotes are accurate, isn't it likely that the quotes of the other pathologists and experts who were quoted in those articles by Ruddy and others are equally accurate? Seems logical. In fact, I recall that Janoski and Cogswell mentioned what some of the other experts said in that no longer working video … just what Ruddy and the others claimed they said. So you see, Chaos, simply and very straightforward logic shows that your implied assertion that I'm a liar about the Cogswell/Janoski video evidence just doesn't pass the smell test, even if the video in question has long since been taken down from youtube. You'll also note in post http://www.internationalskeptics.com...5&postcount=78 , that I claimed Larry Elder, a noted radio host, had interviewed several of the parties in question, including Dr Cyril Wecht (a widely respected civilian forensic pathologist). I said he interviewed Wecht on TV on December 31, 1997 when he was the guest host of CNBC's Rivera Live! You calling that claim by me a lie, too? Hmmmmmm? I tell you what, why don't you contact Larry Elder. If I'm lying about him doing that or the view expressed by Wecht, I'm sure he'd be eager to set the record straight. But somehow I don't think you'll do that. ![]() Here you go again. You really think I can't and haven't backed up that claim here at JREF? Here, the following links have been previously posted to this forum by me (note what it states): http://www.aim.org/special-report/de...foster-part-1/ http://www.aim.org/special-report/de...foster-part-2/ http://www.aim.org/special-report/de...foster-part-3/ http://www.aim.org/special-report/de...foster-part-4/

![]() Didn't you see the post where I had linked the following official government document, which includes a memo that Jerome Zeifman, the former chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee in 1973 and 1974 (the democrat who wrote the articles of impeachment against Nixon), wrote to Bob Barr, Representative from the State of Georgia on November 18, 1998? http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-10...5hhrg53367.pdf

I can't count the number of times I posted a link to the handwritten notes and typed FD-302 form to proved the above claim on this forum. This link: http://www.swlink.net/~hoboh/foster/...depression.htm . Now it's no longer working but again, NOT ONCE in all the times I posted that link to this forum and ask my detractors to comment did ANY JREF *skeptic* respond that the link didn't work or didn't say exactly what I claimed. Not once. For example, I posted it on this thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...69#post5185169 . And I posted it on this thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=132 . And I posted it here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=110 . And here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=111 . And here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...28&postcount=1 . And here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...0&postcount=33. I could go on and on. And NOT ONE of those JREF *skeptics* to whom those posts were addressed responded that the link I posted didn't work or claimed that the link said something other than what I claimed. No, they just acted like … well, you know what … and ignored it. But if you search, you can still find reference to what I claimed. Christopher Ruddy mentioned this in his book: http://books.google.com/books?id=qT8...page&q&f=false . You can do a search for "fighting" and you'll find the exact passage. But then I know you claim Ruddy is lying about everything. So here, how about Dan Moldea, who also wrote a book (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE...le&pageId=3232 ) and in it noted that:
Quote:
![]() I already linked a post on this forum that specifically dealt with the so-called suicide note issue. Here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=655 . And in that link you will find an article by Reed Irvine of AIM, http://www.aim.org/publications/aim_.../1995/08a.html , that describes the conclusion of Sgt Larry Lockhart, the handwriting expert that the government originally used to authenticate the "suicide" note as having been written by Foster, after Lockhart was shown (in a blind test) better images of characters from the note in question than what the government provided and asked to compare it with samples from another source. And he concluded that the note and samples were "very possibly" or "probably" written by different persons. Thus contradicting his original conclusion. Also in my previous post http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=655 , I linked a source that provides the statements of the three widely recognized, board certified handwriting experts who evaluated the so-called "suicide" note authenticity. Here's that linK again, http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO...NOTE/note.html . And as noted in my post, the conclusion from their work was reported by Reuter's and published in a UK paper. Here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...s-1579504.html

I voted for him twice and would vote for him again. He has his failings, but he did a good job.
And he could sing the birds out of the trees, explaining his success with his speaking engagements. |

I never voted for him never quite liked him and thought he should have resigned over lying about Monica, however over time one must admit he did some things well as the President.

Yeah, Cashill is either a total liar, or someone who has no analytical capabilities whatsoever and will uncritically repeat anything told to him. The whole deal with the Obama photo that he thought was "photoshopped" because "experts" told him so was just laughable, and is emblematic of his utter lack of reliability and credibility.

So NJ ...
Do you consider your opinion of equal significance/weight to that a highly experienced forensic pathologist who saw Ron Brown's wound and x-rays first hand? Do you consider your opinion the equal of Miquel Rodriguez's, who Ken Starr selected to head his investigation of Vince Foster's death? Because it sounds like you do. And that would be rather presumptious, wouldn't it? |

This is silly. I have no opinion whether the hole in Ron Brown's head looked like a bullet wound. I haven't seen any photos of his wound.
If it looked like a bullet wound, fine. Was it a bullet wound? No one has shown that it was. It may have been a hole that looked like a bullet wound but was caused by something else. And since we have plenty of evidence that he was in a plane crash and zero evidence that he was shot, it's reasonable to conclude that it was most likely not a bullet wound. Produce some credible evidence that he was shot and I may change my mind. I know nothing about Miguel Rodriguez. Correction: I know how to spell his first name. |

Would this be the same investigation that concluded Vince Foster committed suicide? The third of such investigations to conclude Vince killed himself?
I know you got a lot to do but I have happily taken up your challenge of the Vince foster "suicide note" if you would just look up the page a bit. ![]() |
