Hillary in New Anti-rape Crusade

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said Friday that it's time to step up efforts to process DNA evidence against men accused of rape before they can rape again.

"We've had a steep increase in the number of reported rapes here in New York City," Clinton complained to the New York Times, which didn't report her remarks till Monday.

"It is now apparent that unless we process this information and start putting it to use, we are likely to see people who are serial rapists continue their crimes when we could have apprehended them before they could strike again."

The former first lady made no mention of the allegations against her own husband, who was accused of rape three years ago by Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick, who said she was brutally assaulted while attending a 1978 nursing home convention.

Still, the rape allegation in her own backyard has apparently left Mrs. Clinton unfazed. She charged that the delay in processing rape evidence is "just unacceptable" and pledged to provide "adequate funding to ensure that the backlog of unanalyzed rape kits is eliminated."

Sen. Clinton is sponsoring legislation that would provide federal money to help pay for the analysis of DNA samples in as many as 500,000 rape kits, the Times said.

"Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted," Mrs. Clinton contended - without mentioning other sexual assault allegations lodged against her husband, such as the one by former White House volunteer Kathleen Willey.

Still, Mrs. Clinton, who established Arkansas' first rape crisis hotline the same year her husband allegedly attacked Ms. Broaddrick, sounded adamant about her new anti-rape legislation.

"There are lots of problems we have today in law enforcement," she said. "But this is a solvable problem. We shouldn't go another year without dealing with it."

Sen. Clinton has never commented on Ms. Broaddrick's rape allegation against her husband. And no mainstream journalist has ever broached the topic with her.

Hillary probably shouldn't be talking about DNA evidence.

"We've had a steep increase in the number of reported rapes here in New York City, since Bill moved here" Clinton complained to the New York Times

The full quote the reporter missed...

She's not an anti-rape crusade. She's on an elect-hillary crusade and this is just another piece of firewood she's gathering for her planks.

Coincedence? I think not!

We have the only press in the world that voluntarily, and without shame, refuses to be free and independent.

Hillary in New Anti-rape Crusade-- I assume none of this new crusade for justice will not apply retroactively to Bubba. The worst part is that nobody will question any of this in prime time and she'll pull it off, adding weight to her presidential quest.

1) She is absolutely shameless.

2) It works for her every time.

She needs to put some ice on that...

Such arrogance right out of her Maoist/Stalinist playbooks. Just keep plowing through. She'll be lauded for her "courage".

From F###ing J## B#$$#### comments to the "Pro-Israel" Hillary and now she is for the sexually assualted! When did she quit her job on her husbands' "Bimbo Patrol"? It is astonishing the lack of shame of this couple and their party and supporters.

How about a mandatory DNA test for Liberals before they can vote again?
