BLAMING CLINTON

The Clinton and Reno haters are outraged a the way armed INS agents removed
Elian from his uncle's house.

Armed IRS agents have raided homes and businesses, sometimes resulting in
bankruptcy and suicide, sometimes on a phoney tip.  Where's the outrage from
the Clinton haters then?  The reason is that they can't blame Clinton.

A grandmother forfeited her house because her grandson had a couple of pot
plants.  A man forfeited his van that he used to take his wife for cancer
treatments because he had a small amount of marijuana pot (used to ease her
suffering).

The right-wingers show concern about Elian's welfare, yet 10 to 12 children
die every day in the country due to neglect.

So, where is their outrage? Because they can't blame it all on Clinton,
that's why.
