Bill Clinton To Paulbots: You’re Nuts

You have to give the devil his due. I wish Republicans would have acted this way when these freaks first started showing up.

As he was answering one on Iraq, one of the Paul backers interrupted and shouted that the Sept. 11 attacks were an inside job, and that the U.S. didn’t need to be in Iraq and Afghanistan.

When he dropped an F-bomb, the crowd booed. Clinton, who had tried to talk over the man, gave up.

"You wanna know what I think?” Clinton said. “You guys who think 9/11 was an inside job are crazy as hell. My wife was the senator from New York when that happened. I was down at Ground Zero. I saw the victims' families. You're nuts."

These Troofers shouldn’t be reasoned with but rather treated like the scum they are.

Sadly, they aren’t anything new. I caught the great post WWII move “The Best Years of Our Lives” recently and have been looking for an excuse to post this scene.

Ideally, that’s how you deal with a Troofer. And if you haven’t seen the movie, you owe it to yourself to do so.

UPDATE [Dave in Texas]: Goddammit, I have nothing to contribute here anymore.

DrewM hit upon one of my favorite films, The Best Years of Our Lives. The title is bittersweet enough, but the performances by Frederic March, Dana Andrews, and Harold Russell, a non-actor veteran who won the Academy Award for best supporting actor in 1946 for his portrayal as Homer Parrish, well, they were magnificent.

If you haven't watched it, you should. If you have, I'm preaching to the choir. It's a very good film.

Harold Russell lost his hands in a training accident in 1944. Doing the job. Getting men ready for combat. It is a very good reminder to us all that these magnificent men and women who serve in harm's way, do not always take the hit under fire in anger.

It is a difficult, dangerous job. God bless them.
