At 11:37 am this morning, I received an email from USC professor of law, Susan Estrich.
After hearing Estrich discuss her new Hillary book with Sean Hannity on October 11, I was a little upset. Estrich was essentially calling our friend Juanita Broaddrick a liar. She had spoken with her friend Bill Clinton, and, of course, Bill denied that he raped Juanita. That was good enough for Estrich. Bill could lie to his wife, lie to his daughter, lie to his attorney, lie to his secretary, lie to reporters, lie to his cabinet, lie to the court, and lie to the American people while pointing his finger at us, but by some cosmic mystery that is beyond human comprehension, Bill would not lie to her. Okay then. So, Juanita was not telling the truth. She is a liar. Unfortunately, this teacher of law students, this officer of the court, this person who purports to be so fair and open-minded, had not heard the other side of the story. She has never spoken with Juanita. Yet, Juanita is a liar. A known liar and perjurer told her so. Well, something needed to be done about that.
An initial conversation was held with Ms. Estrich's secretary at USC inquiring about the willingness of Estrich to speak with Juanita if it could be arranged. That was followed up with an email.
Juanita then contacted me through FReepmail with the good news -- she wanted to meet with Susan. She had some things she wanted to tell her. Certainly, Estrich, as a fellow rape survivor, would be interested in speaking with Juanita, right?
Another phone call and email to Estrich's office gave her the good news. Apparently, it was not very good news to Estrich. Here is the email received from her this morning ---
What? She is not interested? A fellow rape survivor wants to speak with her after comments were made on a radio show and Estrich is not interested?
If she were honest, rather than merely being a Bill Clinton sick-o-fant, here is the email she should have sent to me ---
If anyone is interested in taking some action, I would appreciate your help. Until Estrich speaks with Juanita and hears her story, why would any talk show host on our side have the sick-o-fant on the air to sell her book? If you participate on blogs, please spread the word.
We all know why Estrich won't meet with her. She is afraid to hear the truth. If she heard the truth, it would be an incredible moral dilemma. How does a rape survivor side with a rapist against a fellow rape survivor and dare show herself on television ever again?
Just imagine her course of action had the rapist been named Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, or George W. Bush.
Susan, I once had some respect for you when you and I had good discussions on your Los Angeles weekend radio show. Now, the sight of you and the sound of your voice simply make me ill. You are a phony.

"It was unreal. . . . He kept trying to hold my hand," she said. "I can still remember his words. He said, 'Can you ever forgive me? I'm not the same man I used to be.' . . . I told him, 'You just go to hell.' And I walked away. I was shaking."
Broaddrick never reported the alleged incident to authorities and said it never occurred to her to do so, because Clinton was a rising politician while she was "young and vulnerable" and in the middle of an extramarital affair.
"I had blamed myself all these years," she said. "I am a businesswoman, I made money. But I was insecure about men."
Estrich is a dog..........in many ways.........
Estrich's "Not interested" will stick on her in ways she's not going to like. Now, whenever I say her name, I will add it, and I bet Freepers will jab her with it, too.
I BELIEVE JUANITA!!
Indeed. We really have an opportunity to use this against her.
Wimp. spit!
She would have been better off not answering.
I can't either. It think it says alot about what she really thinks happened. She doesn't want to look her in the eyes. She doesn't want to know the truth. She knows how Bill got around alot and she doesn't want to know her president is really a rapist.
SUSAN ESTRICH: "Rapists that I happen to like and/or support politically have a free pass to do their dirty work. I only have a problem with rapists who are otherwise objectionable to me."
Yeah, no kidding. So easy to slander and libel the victim, and then just walk away...much like her buddies, the Klintons.
I have made contact with a FReeper who used to live in England and may have some contacts at Oxford. Eileen Wellstone, we need to talk.
I don't know that Ms. Broaddrick (as the offended party) would want to come down and get involved in that - it really would be unseemly for her, especially after what she's been through. Something tells me she has an incomparable amount of dignity when placed up against someone like the "peace mom".
But.
Actually - It is an intriguing idea. We'd need a fellow conservative "rabble-rouser" - an academic? Maybe Horowitz, or someone like? Or could we do it with an "unknown" like Shehan was (as the "star" - obviously we'd need support personnel there, our own security, etc.)
Do it as a two-day event on a weekend? This really has possiblities, seriously.
Susan Estrich is a leftist political operative masquerading as a law professor. Selling your soul removes truth as an option.
I don't believe Juanita wants to make a spectacle. She just wanted to have a one on one discussion with her.
Just imagine her course of action had the rapist been named Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, or George W. Bush.
Of course she would have jumped and made that call, probably taped it and aired it live somewhere. There would maybe even have been tears on both sides.
How is Susan's action any different from a mom not believing her daughter was raped by Dear Uncle George, and telling the girl she must have made it up? Not HER Bill Clinton.
It really is sickening. Bravo for poor Juanita, who has never shown herself interested in anything but telling her story quietly.
Could it be done to -brace yourself- "raise awareness" of the issue of rape and those, like Ms. Estrich, who condone it? Releases could go out that this grew out of Ms. Estrich's refusal to meet with Ms. Broaddrick as a fellow survivor -
We could really skewer so many of the leftist's secular golden calves with something like this.
Just as there were many people who Walter Durante had no interest in speaking to in the 30's,there are some people who Estrich has no interested in meeting today.
Is it normal for an officer of the law to brand a private citizen as a liar and not be held accountable for their remarks?
Skewering is the idea. We can do some damage with this.
