==========================================

I am pretty sure that all of those on the political right who are so mean-spirited and judgmental, would find a rapist unacceptable in any of the above. We choose not to be around rapists. We want them to pay for what they have done. We want them in prison.

RATS may very well check many of the above but, to the great detriment of our nation, found it acceptable to have a rapist as our commander in chief. Of course, had the rapist been a Republican, he would have been gone very quickly. The RATS would not have put up with a Republican rapist, and we certainly would not have found it acceptable. We would have led the charge for his impeachment.

Until everyone knows what we know, that Bill Clinton is a violent sexual predator and rapist, he will continue to get speaking engagements, he will continue to get press for opposing the foreign policy of our President, and his wife will, in some circles, continue to receive some credibility.

The Clinton nonsense will only end when the word "rapist" is associated with his name every time it is mentioned. Shame on the RAT b*stards who allowed a rapist to stay in office.

You don't know democRATS. They'd probably be proud of it -- like Monica Lewinksky's mother was.

[Humidston]

Democrats call it "resume enhancement." Doncha get it?

To them it's not rape... it's "spreading their seed."

Can we all say SITUATIONAL ETHICS, gang?
How about VALUES CLARIFICATION?

Let's hear it for squishy liberals!

[doug from upland]

It was more than Monica's mom. I was in disbelief that a father would not come to the defense of his troubled young daughter. His daughter was taken advantage of by a scumbag in power. He led her on. He used her as a semen receptacle. He then had his henchmen call her a stalker. She was worried for her life. So what did her father do --- he blamed the prosecutor instead of the pervert. A good father might have hung someone up by their gonads.

I can't figure out why the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has not delivered a decision in the Broaddrick vs. EOP case yet. The hearing was a few months ago, and the court seems to be taking longer than usual.

[Mark Turbo]

NOW from 1999 --- Ultra conservatives are using this case to advance their long-standing political interest in weakening the president, ...

Enter these links at your risk and with barf bags in hand:

NOW Launches the "Truth About George" Campaign

NOW Endorses "March to Justice" Campaign

It is only verboten for ultraconservatives to weaken the president according to feminazi doctrine, apparently.

[gcruse]

All of the above? This is reminiscent of the rants about there being 'queers' in the Justice department. Many of my friends on the right operate under the impression the earning a living is optional and certainly not to be undertaken by some people in plain sight of others. Rapists should be in jail. And once they are out, left the hell alone.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Hey! Where's the "None Of The Above" Checkbox?

[Chad Fairbanks]

You miss the point - rapists should NEVER be let out, once convicted... Hell, imho they shouldn't even be allowed to share our air*

*of course, the conviction should include physical evidence, not just a "he said/She said" type of 'evidence' to reduce the odds of executing an innocent...

[ladyinred]

When Juanita's story first came out, I felt sure this would be the end of Clinton! Surely now, when he has raped a woman, the support for him will die, and he will be impeached and removed from office! Imagine my surprise and outrage when she was simply ignored, or trashed by Bubba's lapdogs in the media.

There are more victims, of that we can be sure. They are most likely afraid to come forward seeing what happened to any woman who dared speak out against the pervert former President. Years from now, people will know the truth, these things won't stay buried forever. But that isn't good enough, we want him tried and convicted in our lifetimes!

BTW: I was in your fair city, Upland yesterday. Pretty place, but you are sure having a heat wave!!!!!

[soccermom]

Yeah, he was pretty pathetic -- but at least he was embarassed about the Lewnisky name being equated with BJs. I honestly think her mom was PROUD of the fact that her daughter was being used like a whore.

[doug from upland]

Yes, the last two days here have been almost unbearably hot. Global warming?

[doug from upland]

Dr. Lewinsky once threatened legal action against a network when they had a show on which called a BJ a Lewinsky. He was not amused. He got what he deserved for not getting on television and condemning the pervert.

[ladyinred]

Global warming indeed! It was so hot and humid in Pasadena that I was glad to leave the place for the Central Valley! Now that is hot!!

[soccermom]

Yeah -- he would have had a lot more sympathy from me on that point, had he shown the slightest bit of outrage at Clinton. And then look at the Levys. They new Chandra was having an affair with a married congressman and did nothing about it. I honestly think these people think is a honor to offer up their daughters to "serve" the Party.

[gcruse]

 

You miss the point - rapists should NEVER be let out,
once convicted... Hell, imho they shouldn't even be allowed to share our air*

The real point is to change the sentences
meted out, if the offense is so horrific.
As you may guess, I think once someone
has done their time,  they should become
as any other citizen, with the exception
of having a record.  Our clamoring
for creation and continuance of
post-release punishment is, IMO,
a denial of due process.

MIDI - ALWAYS A WOMAN

She was 19 years old…I loved her English eyes
She was telling me no, that's a word I despise
So I took what I wanted, I'll take what I see
She cried like a child
But she's just a dumb woman to me

She was just 22…and at Yale we studied
Recollection's not clear…but she might have been bloodied
Though she talked to the police, they just let me go free
One more score I can count
And she's just a dumb woman to me

I always take what I want…I will never hear "no"
If they fail to comply
Don't they all know who I am…who do they think they are
They should not ask me why

She's a real beauty queen…Miss America winner
I used power and fear…and then I enjoyed dinner
I warned her not to talk…she'd be sorry, you see
I would blame it on her
'Cause she's just a dumb woman to me

(short musical interlude)

I always take what I want…I will never hear "no"
If they fail to comply
Don't they all know who I am…who do they think they are
They should not ask me why

One was really too kind…and no challenge at all
I got into her room…there was no one to call
I ripped clothing and hurt her…she couldn't get free
There were tears in each breath…as I scared her to death
But she's just a dumb woman to me

AN OPEN LETTER TO HILLARY CLINTON
BY JUANITA BROADDRICK
'DO YOU REMEMBER?'
SUNDAY OCT 15, 2000

As I watched Rick Lazio's interview on Fox News this morning, I felt compelled to write this open letter to you, Mrs. Clinton. Brit Hume asked Mr. Lazio's views regarding you as a person and how he perceived you as a candidate. Rick Lazio did not answer the question, but I know that I can. You know it, too.

I have no doubt that you are the same conniving, self-serving person you were twenty-two years ago when I had the misfortune to meet you. When I see you on television, campaigning for the New York senate race, I can see the same hypocrisy in your face that you displayed to me one evening in 1978. You have not changed.

I remember it as though it was yesterday. I only wish that it were yesterday and maybe there would still be time to do something about what your husband, Bill Clinton, did to me. There was a political rally for Mr. Clinton's bid for governor of Arkansas. I had obligated myself to be at this rally prior to my being assaulted by your husband in April, 1978. I had made up my mind to make an appearance and then leave as soon as the two of you arrived. This was a big mistake, but I was still in a state of shock and denial. You had questioned the gentleman who drove you and Mr. Clinton from the airport. You asked him about me and if I would be at the gathering. Do you remember? You told the driver, "Bill has talked so much about Juanita", and that you were so anxious to meet me. Well, you wasted no time. As soon as you entered the room, you came directly to me and grabbed my hand. Do you remember how you thanked me, saying "we want to thank you for everything that you do for Bill". At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to walk off. Remember how you kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me? You repeated your statement, but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many times on television in the last eight years. You said, "Everything you do for Bill". You then released your grip and I said nothing and left the gathering.

What did you mean, Hillary? Were you referring to my keeping quiet about the assault I had suffered at the hands of your husband only two weeks before? Were you warning me to continue to keep quiet? We both know the answer to that question.

Yes, I can answer Brit Hume's question. You are the same Hillary that you were twenty years ago. You are cold, calculating and self-serving. You cannot tolerate the thought that you will soon be without the power you have wielded for the last eight years. Your effort to stay in power will be at the expense of the state of New York. I only hope the voters of New York will wake up in time and realize that Hillary Clinton is not an honorable or an honest person.

I will end by asking if you believe the statements I made on NBC Dateline when Lisa Myers asked if I had been assaulted and raped by your husband? Or perhaps, you are like Vice-President Gore and did not see the interview.

3/4/99 - more smell

"The pressure for a full examination of Broaddrick's charge will have to come from the rest of us: grass- roots activists, religious leaders, maybe a few politicians, indeed anyone with a moral bent and thirst for justice and the truth. Appalled by the media's minimal interest in the case, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote: "It is one thing to define deviancy down. It's another thing to obliterate it entirely." Yet if the Broaddrick case fades without a trace, that's what we will have permitted Clinton to do. He will reign triumphant, not only acquitted by the Senate, but utterly unaccountable for all of his past behavior, no matter how contemptible or heinous."

Gore on Broaddrick

"Vice President Al Gore 'sputtered and stammered' when asked Tuesday about Juanita Broaddrick’s charge that Bill Clinton raped her in a Little Rock hotel room years ago when Mr. Clinton was attorney general of Arkansas, Matt Drudge reports on his Internet site.

Mr. Drudge included a transcript of Mr. Gore’s response at a campaign event in Derry, N.H., on Tuesday. A resident of Derry asked, 'When Juanita Broaddrick made the claim, that I felt quite credible, that she was raped by Bill Clinton, did that change your opinion about him being one of the best presidents in history? And do you believe Juanita Broaddrick’s claim? And what did you tell your son about this?'

Mr. Gore laughed, and then said, 'Well, I don’t know what to make of her claim, because I don’t know how to evaluate that story, I really don’t.'

The vice president said he did not see the television interview with Mrs. Broaddrick. He then rambled on about not violating communications within his family, in regard to the last question. He went on to say, 'I think whatever mistakes [Mr. Clinton] made in his personal life are in the minds of most Americans balanced against what he has done as a president.'

Mr. Gore said Bill Clinton was his friend, 'and if you’ve ever had a friend who made a serious mistake and then you repaired the friendship and moved on, then you know what that relationship has been like for me.'

Mr. Gore did not stop there. 'I felt the same disappointment and anger at him during the period when all this was going on that most people did,' he said.

The vice president went on for several more sentences, but what was more interesting was what he did not say: The vice president never challenged Mrs. Broaddrick’s charges; nor did he express doubt that Mr. Clinton would be capable of such a thing."
