The New York Times Sunday headline reads: "How Hillary Clinton Grappled With Bill Clintons Infidelity, and His Accusers." But if you read the article, it turns out that "grappling" with this uncomfortable topic meant "trying to destroy the accusers."
Confronting a spouses unfaithfulness is painful under any circumstance. For Mrs. Clinton, it happened repeatedly and in the most public of ways, unfolding at the dawn of the 24/7 news cycle, and later in impeachment proceedings that convulsed the nation.
Outwardly, she remained stoic and defiant, defending her husband while a progression of women and well-funded conservative operatives accused Mr. Clinton of behavior unbecoming the leader of the free world.
But privately, she embraced the Clinton campaigns aggressive strategy of counterattack: Women who claimed to have had sexual encounters with Mr. Clinton would become targets of digging and discrediting tactics that womens rights advocates frequently denounce.
The campaign hired a private investigator with a bare-knuckles reputation who embarked on a mission, as he put it in a memo, to impugn Ms. Flowerss character and veracity until she is destroyed beyond all recognition.
A campaign aide said that Hillary Clinton participated in the decision to hire Jack Palladino, "a private investigator known for tactics such as making surreptitious recordings and deploying attractive women to extract information":
An aide to the campaign, who declined to be publicly identified because the aide had not been authorized to speak for the Clintons, said Mrs. Clinton was among those who had discussed and approved the hiring, which shifted the campaign to a more aggressive posture.
Every acquaintance, employer, and past lover should be located and interviewed, Mr. Palladino wrote. She is now a shining icon telling lies that so far have proved all benefit and no cost for any other opportunist who may be considering making Clinton a target. Challenge Bill and this is what will happen to you. Nasty stuff, and Hillary was fully on board. And it wasn't just Gennifer Flowers whom she helped to attack:
[T]heir first taste of trouble came in a Penthouse magazine story by a rock groupie named Connie Hamzy, who claimed Mr. Clinton had once propositioned her at a hotel in Little Rock, Ark.
Mr. Clinton brushed off the story, saying that Ms. Hamzy had made a sexual advance toward him, George Stephanopoulos, the communications director of the 1992 campaign, recalled in his book, All Too Human.
But Mrs. Clinton demanded action.
We have to destroy her story, she said, according to Mr. Stephanopoulos. There's much more they could have delved into. If Donald Trump's tax returns from 1995 are news in 2016 -- and they are -- then certainly Hillary Clinton's treatment of her husband's accusers in the late 90s is relevant too.
Women become targets of digging and discrediting tactics that womens rights advocates frequently denounce.
Is Connie Hamzy a new name in addition to the known victims?
NOTE: This was a major issue that came up at the dawn of Feminism in the 60's. It still divides the second wave from the third wave, not to mention causing the few remaining members of the first wave to wonder what Pandora's box they opened.
Hitlery’s radical ambition for money and power completely overshadowed Bill’s breeding with anything that got in front of him. Not an issue for her other than for its value to try and make her look like a ‘distressed victim’. What a joke and a lie.
So many contradictions between Hillary’s age of feminism and sanctioning her husband’s horn-dogging / infidelity / sexual harassment / rape.
So many contradictions between Hillary’s age of feminism and Hillary’s support for the muslim treatment of women: female genital mutilation, hijab/burkas, lack of voting rights-driving privileges, marital choice, education, careers, etc.
LOL - 'the press' is in the tank for liberal elites. They don't give a damn about fairness, truth or being professional in their occupation. The press wants Hillary elected. Period.
Conservatives who subscribe to a newspaper are doing the equivalent of sending Hillary Clinton a donation every week.
Hillary didn’t destroy them because she wanted to defend her husband .. she really didn’t care .. the only thing she wanted to defend was THE FANTASY THAT SHE AND BILL HAD A NORMAL RELATIONSHIP.
THEY DID NOT HAVE A NORMAL HUSBAND AND WIFE RELATIONAHIP; HILLARY PREFERS WOMEN (and Bill blabbed that several times).
The decrepit old bitch only grappled with Bill’s “bimbos” when they posed any type of threat to his (and, by proxy, her) political ascent.
She gouged eyes, fish-hooked, and bit ears until the “bimbos” tapped out and Bill and, by proxy, she) was free to snatch the next office.
Mary Mahoney, who ended up shot through the skull.
Bill raped and assaulted women!! Is there one bit of doubt here?

Whether Hillary was ‘available’ to Bill is not at the heart of the issue.
Bill is a horn-dogging sex-addict and the power trip of his political positions enabled him to hunt down women.
Who would want to exchange bodily fluids with that? Hillary would expose herself to all the funk of all Bill’s infidelities and then all the other men those women had been exposed. Let’s do the math ... dozens?...hundreds?
Her political partnership and aspirations for them prevented her from divorcing Bill. Bill had so little self-control he was unable to with stop himself even when he reached the White House. He’s an addict. They crave power. She was mad that he was dumb enough to get caught.
So .. I see you won’t admit that she prefers women ..???
I never was sure until I heard what Bill said, and I’m not going to repeat it .. because it’s gross.
However, nobody would say such a thing about their spouse if it wasn’t true.
You can deny it all you want .. but ...????? America is not ready for a Lesbian in the WH.
She very well may prefer women if all those rumors are true.
There’s that uber wealthy artsy lesbo colony she frequents outside of SF - Half Moon Bay Area, that’s a fact.
If it was uttered by Bill, it may not have an ounce of truth, he lies like a rug. But, claiming she’s a womanizer would serve to garner sympathy for him as he attempts to justify his infidelities and insatiable sexual appetite.
You may be right about Bill, but what he said, was a real shocker to me.
Yet a tactic that the NY Times and MSM gladly joined in on and, continue to do so.
Political alienation of affections only allowed for Hillary.
