".....The missionaries of the big progressive causes, the Steinems, the Irelands, the Michelmans, the Friedans, and Hillary Clinton herself, were all willing to toss their feminist movement overboard to give Bill Clinton a pass on multiple sexual harassments, and on a career of sexual predation that reflects his utter contempt for the female gender.
Indeed, the Clinton-Lewinsky defense-accord which the feminists signed onto, can be regarded as feminism's Nazi-Soviet Pact. Their calculation was both simple and crude: If Clinton was removed, Hillary would go too. But she was their link to patronage and power, and they couldn't imagine losing that. Their kind was finally in control of the White House, and the conservative enemies of their beautiful future were not.
Almost a decade earlier-in the name of the very principles they so casually betrayed for Clinton-the same feminists had organized the most disgraceful lynching of a public figure in America's history. Despite fiercely proclaimed commitments to the racial victims of American persecution, they launched a vicious campaign to destroy the reputation of an African American jurist who had risen, unblemished, from dirt-shack poverty in the segregated south to the nation's highest courts. They did it knowingly, cynically, with the intent to destroy him in his person, and to ruin his public career.
Has there ever been a more reprehensible witch-hunt in American public life than the one organized by feminist leaders who then emerged as vocal defenders of the White House lecher? Was there ever a more sordid betrayal of common decency than this collective defamation-for which no apology has or ever will be given?................."
Yeah...big difference. One rapes after first drugging. The other just gets right to the rape and says, afterwards, “Better put some ice on that.”.
So these wimen were all liars?
Can't sell this BULLSTALIN, Salon.
NOW nags made excuses like "the first grope is free" and that it didn't matter WHAT Bill Clinton did to women in his office because he had the right position on abortion.
Time was that workplace sexual affairs (even consensual) were opposed by Feminists because it created a hostile environment. The "sexy" secretary who went on overnight trips with the boss was supposed to be a thing of the past.
And what of the allegations that Bill Clinton went to an island resort stocked with teen prostitutes and 1%es?
Could not read it all.
Salon is so full of s***.
This matters with the Clinton case for a couple of reasons. One, it’s downright laughable to compare the Clinton case to cases where law enforcement and prosecutors blow accusers off.
Yeah here it was just the entire Democrat party and the entire MSM that blew (no pun intended) the accusers off.
If Bill Clinton had been ANY other man except Bill Clinton he would have been in jail long long ago..............
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Marcotte
Born in 1977
>>In January 2007, Marcotte wrote controversial statements about the Duke lacrosse case, including that people who defended the accused were “rape-loving scum”.
Clinton was worse. Women who dated Cosby knew what was up and got involved voluntarily. They knew, or should have known better. I suspect more than a few of them got what they were looking for and expected, but are just engaged in extortion of a rich old man.
Clinton attacked women he ran into in the course of conducting government business, a female student at Oxford, and coeds at U. Arkansas when he was an instructor.
She apparently dismisses rape charges against Bill Clinton like a holocaust denier (her own analogy)
“In 2014, Marcotte criticized journalists who investigated and helped debunk gang rape allegations from Rolling Stone’s “A Rape on Campus” story, which was later discredited and retracted. She wrote of those who questioned the details, ‘it’s really time for people to understand that rape denialism is like Holocaust denialism: a broad refusal to face reality’,”
Amanda Marcotte could win a Pulitzer Prize for this.
At the very least she’ll be invited on a network roundtable.
Hard to believe, but the ability to lie straightfaced is a top media resume’ enhancer.
Look for the Marcotte File to spring up on CNN.
She must be unfamiliar with US college campuses.
Look who’s back to running her mouth again. Our old friend Amanda Marcotte.
Salon tells liberals how to talk about issues. Without Salon or Slate or Politico telling them what to say, mindless progressives would be unable to speak.
They sure twisted themselves into a knot trying to explain the difference between the two Bills.
“there’s a massive difference between their sex abuse allegations”
Correct.
Clinton is white.
Didn’t take long for Salon to trot out the CDL (Clinton Defense League) did it?
Well...it’s not like rape-rape, right?
I love hearing female moonbats defend Bill Clinton.
Every single time they open their mouths to defend Bill Clinton, the neon sign proclaiming their shallow, partisan stupidity and hypocrisy burns brighter and brighter.
Their obsession with genitalia and rape is 180 degrees opposed to their defense of Bill Clinton. If you gave them truth serum, they would mumble that the possibility of advancing liberal causes is far more important than the contradiction and moral hypocrisy they display by supporting a rapist.
What makes it even more hilarious, is that to liberals, there is NO greater crime to them than hypocrisy. It trumps everything in their little pea-brained minds. But this, they cannot give up. So they shout their support for Clinton louder and louder.
They want their cake, and they want to eat it too.
Stopped reading right there. Then I realized this was Salon.
