Default Re: Barry Bonds indicted

This is very reminiscent of the case against Bill Clinton. Remember, he wasn't being pursued for getting a BJ from a fat chick in the oval office, he was being pursued for lying about it while under investigation in the Whitewater matter. Were people out to get Bill Clinton? Of course, just like they're out to get Barry Bonds. Should any of this surprise anyone? No. Ultimately, the circumstances under which the charges are being brought will affect each person's perception of the charges, it's up to you to decide whether an actual crime committed during a witch hunt is the same or different than a crime committed while a witch hunt isn't taking place.

Barry imo only did what a TON of other professional athletes did, except he was the best to begin with so he was the best with the PED's as well. He sticks out like a sore thumb because of his accomplishments and his attitude, just like Slick Willy. Both pretty much lied to some peoples' faces (people who hated them to begin with) which caused the angry mob to light the torches.

I think the Clinton analogy is a little iffy.

Ignoring morals and whatever you think that should mean for the president, there's 100% nothing illegal about getting a hummer from a needy intern. That's a question that just has no business being asked in that situation.

Steriods in some fashion are illegal, and it's at least a question that warrents asking in this context.

Clinton was asked about sex during a civil proceeding, not a criminal proceeding. The question was appropriate for the context of the civil lawsuit.
