John--
        I think you are splitting hairs here.  I believe that 
everybody else in this exchange is interpreting "defended Clinton"
as "said that Clinton was right to lie".  You seem to be using it
here in the broader sense of "made any argument in support of
Clinton".  With this sense, you are of course right.
        Congratulations, you've won an argument.  Unfortunately,
it was not WITH anybody, since we seem to be using words 
differently.  : )
