Was he "sticking it" to the country he hated all along, America?

Are liberals really so pathetic that they think a few errors in the wording of the question proves the event never took place? The man released sexual predators, child pornographers, criminals and terrorists.
Liberals are just willing to ignore all this? Scary.

Obviously. Of course facts anger evil liberals though. So don't expect anything out of them

For the poster who said he never was impeached, he was, indeed impeached. Impeached = formally charged/indicted.
He was acquitted, but he was impeached.
On to the original question. I agree with the poster who said "shut up you fool."
According to YOUR OWN LINKS, the pardons in question happened AFTER impeachment and acquittal.
Your entire question is a non sequitur.

Yes he hated us so he thought that he would pardon ex-criminals to run wild among us. Look out your window, do you see the crazy criminals sticking it to us?

Billl Clinton was a long time ago. Why worry about that now? We have enough to worry about where our government is concerned, or are you trying to pull the focus away from that fact, with old news that's too late to remedy anyway?

Why has Bush sent thousands of people to die, is a better question.
Are you even old enough to remember what Clinton's presidency was like? It was a HELL of a lot better than the current one, I'll tell you that.
And by the way, Clinton was never impeached. Get with the program.
From your Wikipedia link:
-----
On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a violent Puerto Rican nationalist group that set off 120 bombs in the United States mostly in New York City and Chicago, convicted for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as for firearms and explosives violations.[3]
None of the 16 were convicted of bombings or any crime which injured another person, though they were sentenced with terms ranging from 35 to 105 years in prison for the conviction of conspiracy and sedition. Congress, however, recognizes that the FALN is responsible for "6 deaths and the permanent maiming of dozens of others, including law enforcement officials."
All of the 16 had served 19 years or longer in prison, which was a longer sentence than such crimes typically received, according to the White House.[citation needed] Clinton offered clemency, on condition that the prisoners renounce violence, at the appeal of 10 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, President Jimmy Carter, the cardinal of New York, and the archbishop of Puerto Rico.
The commutation was opposed by U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons and criticized by many including former victims of FALN terrorist activities, the Fraternal Order of Police,[4] members of Congress, and Hillary Clinton in her campaign for Senator.[5] Congress condemned the action, with a vote of 95-2 in the Senate and 311-41 in the House.[6][7]
The U.S. House Committee on Government Reform held an investigation on the matter, but the Justice Department prevented FBI officials from testifying.[8] President Clinton cited executive privilege for his refusal to turn over some documents to Congress related to his decision to offer clemency to members of the FALN terrorist group.

He didn't do that. What is your source on that, the White House?
There are too many lies going on in and about our government. Bill Clinton pardoned a lot of people his last day in office. None of them were terrorists.

The Clinton years... no deficits, good paying jobs, no wars, and terrorist like Timothy McVeigh or the 93 world trade center bombers were actually capture and punished, unlike Bin Laden. Yeah, those were terrible years alright.
