Deleted Post & Arguments Regarding

I deleted a post of Purple Avenger's which linked a claim I found too flimsy and trashy to air without some evidence beyond someone's say-so of someone else's say-so. The fact that the other someone's say-so included the assertion that Bill Clinton had been recruited by a student by the CIA and paid to tour Moscow developing, I don't know, contacts or something makes me doubt the claim even more.

I did debate putting this up myself, weighing two factors: 1, it really was very flimsy and libelous, if untrue (which it almost certainly was), but 2, this is the sort of rumor that everyone's going to end up hearing anyway so what's the point in pretending that I have some Gatekeeper power like the MSM and can hide such a thing? Or that I should arrogate to myself the decision to even try?

That said, I guess I just don't like such a trashy rumor by a guy I never heard of before being linked here.

So I put it into draft.

As for the substance of the post: Captain Ed trashes the claim made by Dr. Jack Wheeler here.

Thanks for that to Maetenloch.
