Institutional feminism died when Gloria Steinem, Madeleine Albright and other top feminists vouched for President Clinton as he brazenly lied about never having had a sexual relationship with “that woman” — Monica Lewinsky. The Clintons and feminists were outraged when Thomas’s supporters painted Anita Hill as “a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty.”
Yet that was precisely the Clintonian tack when women spoke up about Bill’s misbehaving. Time and again, Hillary was a party to demonizing women as liars, bimbos, trailer trash or troubled souls when it seemed clear they were truthful about her philandering husband. She often justified this by thinking of the women as instruments of the right-wing conspiracy.
As I reported in ’98, even some veteran Clinton henchmen felt a little nauseated about the debate inside the White House on a slander strategy for Lewinsky: Should they paint her as a friendly fantasist or a malicious stalker?
Hillary memorably tagged lewinsky as a narcisstic loony tune.
========================================
Lost in the confusion and noise is the real event everyone has forgotten.
REMEMBER?----- The WHITE HOUSE Old West Wing War Room," CREATED BY HILLARY, STAFFED WITH A DOZEN TAXPAYER-PAID "INVESTIGATORS" WITH THE EXCLUSIVE TASK OF INVESTIGATING AND DESTROYING THE TARGETED WILLIE BIMBO ERUPTIONS That "War Room" LED BY HILLARY ROTTEN, lasted 8 years! and did nothing else! Has Hillary been asked about that? If not, why not?
Hillary actually said that times have changed and today you can’t intimidate women into silence.
