1.0 out of 5 stars A New Low Point in Muckraking, August 16, 2009

By	Doctor A. (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Just when you think you've seen it all... a new low point in muckraking comes along! This DVD is pure kitty litter -- but will obviously appeal to fans of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly and the rest of the lunatic fringe. The DVD invents charges and baseless claims that are so unbelievable it's amazing any thinking person would find them credible.

Despite the "all Monica all the time" scandal, America too quickly forgot that Clinton's eight years in office was the greatest economic growth period in our history. He left office with a $5 trillion budget surplus -- only to have Bush/Cheney turn it into a $10 trillion deficit. In time, history will praise Clinton and finally relegate Bush to the most incompetent and misguided administration in this nation's history. Sadly, this DVD will not contribute to that legacy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Non-Partisan Review, August 26, 2007

By	Gene - See all my reviews

I titled this review "non-partisan" because I have equal disdain for both the far-left and the far-right. These types have chosen sides long ago and allow their minds to be controlled by party propaganda. Unfortunately this seems to be the case with the majority of dedicated Democrats, whose political views are based heavily on emotion and fantasy. Conservatives seem to be more inclined to allow facts to change their views, as evidenced by the plummeting support for G.W. Bush, who is selling out our country and our freedom to zionists and illegal aliens while flushing our constitutional rights straight down the toilet.

I gave the documentary five stars because it is based on facts. I'm not saying these facts are unarguable proof of what they implicate but they do make for some pretty hard circumstantial evidence. The producers of this video definitely did their homework. If you absorb all of the facts/evidence and analyze them collectively, it's pretty obvious that the Clintons are major liars, thieves, traitors and Communist counter-spies who have no respect for our culture, our sovereignty or the laws of our land, and who live only to serve themselves, at anyone and everyone's expense.

Don't take my word for it...watch the whole movie with an open mind and see if you can honestly tell yourself that it's nothing but a pack of Republican lies, as many of the reviewers here would have you believe. The reviews that were written by card-carrying moonbats were obviously fabricated by a few of those hurried shoppers who purchased the DVD by mistake because they thought it was a video edition of Bill Clinton's autobiography, "My Life". Equally obviously, they watched the first 5 or 10 minutes, then turned it off in anger and came here to write scathing reviews while pretending that they had watched and paid attention to the whole thing. They use blanket terms such as "political smear", "lies", "propaganda", etc. without referring to anything specific. At least, not truthfully specific.

One reviewer uses as example a perceived lack of evidence that Bill Clinton, in college, set a mattress up in a campus tree and lived there for "four months" as some sort of protest. Guess what...that little snippet begins at approximately 2.5 minutes into the show and is one of the most petty, irrelevant messages of the whole two-hours. If he'd watched further, it would have been driven from his memory by the more substantial allegations. He also proclaims, "ALL COPIES OF THE YEARBOOK CONTAINING A PICTURE OF THIS HAVE DISAPPEARED!?!?" The actual words of the movie's narrator are that all known copies of the campus NEWSPAPER issue, which featured a picture of Clinton in the tree, were "confiscated or destroyed". Quite a different aspect, I'd say. Not to mention the fact that the narrator says Clinton spent "days on end" in the tree. Where the below reviewer got "four months" is anyone's guess.

Another reviewer reports, "They offered no real facts or hard evidence to support any of their harsh claims against Bill Clinton". Whaaaaa...? The entire production not only shows interviews and quotes by Clinton bodyguards, policemen, federal agents and politicians, but also is strewn with photocopies of letters, court transcripts, newspaper articles, affidavits...you name it! What does she call "hard evidence"? Michael Moore showing a video of George Bush's head while he carefully explains to you what's going on inside of it? Please!

I'm pretty critical of Michael Moore and his "Fahrenheit 911". The title was ripped off from Ray Bradbury's old 1950's science-fiction novel "Fahrenheit 451" which may actually be appropriate considering that they're both works of fiction. I despise Moore's condescending little sing-song voice that indicates he's trying to explain something simple to an educationally-challenged nine-year-old. His use of opinion, conjecture and emotion-baiting Hollywood imagery, as opposed to hard facts, is ludicrous. But at least I watched it all the way through, with an open mind, and therefore have legitimate grounds for my opinions. To Moore's credit, however, he did add some facts. When I heard him tell about how, immediately following the WTC attack, all members of Bin-Laden's family in the U.S. were given free, summary transportation back to the Middle East without even having been interrogated by U.S. authorities, I was fairly enraged.

If you're sincerely interested in political analysis, "Bill Clinton: His Life" is a highly-interesting and well-researched documentary. It may or may not change or fortify your beliefs about the Clintons but if you're among the apparent minority of human beings who are capable of independent, analytical thought it's sure to give your brain a run around the block. All I can do is recommend that you put your partisan emotions on the back burner and watch the whole show with an open mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the "gates" in one place, August 9, 2005

By	D. J. Ryan (Sioux Falls, SD) - See all my reviews

This movie covers such matters as President Clinton's methods for avoiding the draft to Whitewater to his dealings with the Red Chinese and everything in between. The mysterious deaths of would be witnesses is covered as well as the Clinton's disdain for law enforcement officers. Cattlegate and filegate are covered as is the suspicious death of Vince Foster. The lives of the Clinton's are covered from the late 1960's until his impeachment.
Nearly all of the scandals we heard about during the Clinton administration are covered in great depth. One of the best things about this movie is that it doesn't appear to have been done by anyone in the Republican party. It comes off as simply an objective informative documentary that could have very well been shown on A&E or PBS.
