Letter: Liberals change story about Clinton

Thursday, July 29, 1999 | 10 a.m.

During impeachment the liberals changed the subject and tried the House managers and Ken Starr instead of the president.

They are changing the subject again. The president lied and used dishonorable means to avoid service in the Vietnam War but Dan Quayle and George W. Bush will be tried.

It is no revelation that influential people and college students used the rules to avoid going into combat in Vietnam. But service in the National Guard, where active duty service was always a risk, is not the same as being dishonest and dishonorable.

To Clinton apologists, try to be honest and do not attack others to protect this flawed president.
