While they are ridiculous on their face, and Klein fails to validate their authenticity, they are precisely the sort of raw meat tabloidisms that appeal to Fox&#8217;s executive propagandists (i.e. Roger Ailes) and woefully gullible viewers. Among the published nonsense are these morsels of mendacity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bill Clinton advised Hillary to <em>&#8220;put on widow\u2019s weeds, dress in black&#8221;<\/em> if he died because <em>&#8220;it would be worth a couple of million votes.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hillary <em>&#8220;managed to keep her medical history secret out of fear that, should it become public, it would disqualify her from becoming president.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Oprah Winfrey claims to have <em>&#8220;a much warmer relationship with Hillary than I do with either Michelle or Barack,&#8221;<\/em> and that the Obamas <em>&#8220;make me jumpy.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Bill Clinton said <em>&#8220;I hate that man Obama more than any man I&#8217;ve ever met, more than any man who ever lived.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hillary Clinton considered resigning over Benghazi because Obama allegedly forced her <em>&#8220;to say that the attack had been a spontaneous demonstration triggered by an obscure video on the Internet.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of these assertions were presented as private conversations between two individuals. For instance, the last item was said to be from a phone conversation between Bill and Hillary. Which begs the question, how could Klein quote them verbatim when no one else was even listening? His source would have to have been Bill or Hillary. Sure, that could happen.<\/p>\n<p>Klein&#8217;s past books have included some of the most repulsive fabrications ever levied against the Clintons. He alleged that Chelsea was conceived after a domestic assault wherein Klein said that Bill raped Hillary. Again, how on earth could Klein have known that? Were there witnesses who have spoken only to him? Klein is also a confirmed Birther who believes that Obama may have been created to be a Manchurian candidate from Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>This is the sort of person that Fox News is now promoting on air and online. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00A8PD694?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creativeASIN=B00A8PD694&#038;linkCode=xm2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20\" target=\"_blank\">lie-riddled Fox Nation<\/a> website has already posted three articles promoting the delusional revelations in Klein&#8217;s new book.
