Hypocrisy, Democrat Style

They're way worse then hypocrites. They've gone beyond it. The party that will tell any lie and smear anyone that stands in their way to power. They have perfected Stalinist tactics with the willing help of the MSM.

In fact, to me democrat is more of a pejorative these days then hypocrite.

It's not harassment if they were the only two employees in the office. If there's more than two, it's sexual harassment...of other employees. It creates a hostile environment.

Many thanks for the ping. :-)

gotta keep the brains working overtime in all directions!

[nopardons]

Well, you got my attention! :-)

You left out Garry Studds, the Dem Congressman from Mass. who had sexual relations with a 17 yr. old [I believe a male] page.

Thanks for the ping!

Those are claims, but where are the convictions?

I'm sorry - I don't condone much of what Clinton did; but you're tossing allegations without proof. If those things had actually happened, he would have been convicted of them. Do you honestly think Ken Starr would have let those sleeping dogs lie? After tens of millions of dollars of investigation costs??

I'll repeat myself - I personally will wait until the smoke clears and the facts become visible in this Foley matter.

But I fail to see how trying to equate this to old news that never amounted to anything (or was a matter between consenting adults) will help us.

Thanks for the ping. Ben Stein is the best. Once again he nails it.

Perfect!

As far as the Bent One's concerned, there are a few other little matters, all of which the DemonRats have condoned or suppressed that are a lot worse than e-mail and IM propositions for homosexual sex:

-he raped Juanita Broaddrick;
-he sexually assaulted Paula Jones;
-he sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey.

 

The Clinton legacy.

Those are claims, but where are the convictions? Juanita Broaddrick credibly charged Clinton with raping her while Clinton was Arkansas AG. At the time, given the DemonRats' control of the Arkansas judicial system she didn't file charges. When her charges were made public on NBC, Clinton issued a non-denial through his lawyers, where they said, "The President never raped Mrs. Broaddrick." That's just about as close to an admission as you can get, since Clinton wasn't President at the time of the rape and Juanita Broaddrick had a different name then.

The original Paula Jones incident started when Clinton groped her, a fact that wasn't effectively denied in the sexual harassment case, the only case Jones could file at the time because the statute of limitations on a sexual assault case had run.

Kathleen Willey was threatened by various thugs operating on behalf of the Bent One after she'd made her charges, something that wouldn't have happened if the charges were false.

If those things had actually happened, he would have been convicted of them. Do you honestly think Ken Starr would have let those sleeping dogs lie? After tens of millions of dollars of investigation costs??

What planet have you been living on? The Clintons, as documented by Dick Morris, their former chief political advisor, have run one of the most brutal and effective private secret police operations in the country, directing it particularly at people like Broaddrick, Jones, and Willey. IIRC, Starr's authority did not extend to investigating sexual assault and rape chargers; his responsibility was to investigate whether Clinton had perjured himself and obstructed justice in the Paula Jones case. The Broaddrick charges were part of the file but were never actually investigated as part of the case.

But I fail to see how trying to equate this to old news that never amounted to anything (or was a matter between consenting adults) will help us.

Rape and sexual assault do not involve consent and they amount to a great deal precisely because the Clintons and their DemonRat enablers did their best to suppress the charges and smear the women who were involved. This starkly contrasts with the Foley case when the Republican leadership moved immediately and removed him as soon as they knew about the salacious instant messages.
