Well, she had his balls in her hands.So you tell me. Who “really” had all the power?

Well, she did take it on the chin a few times.

We don't know that.

Wow...

I first found FR during this scandal. Under a different screen name of course - lost the password and the e-mail I used to get it so no retrieving it unfortunately.

I was living in a house with no cable but I had a two phone lines and a 56K dial-up. With that I was able to cruise FR and Drudge and watch FoxNews because - at the time - they were the only cable channel streaming their content 24/7/365.

I remember all of it like it was yesterday.

But the one thing that bugged me the whole time was that both sides focused on the sexual harassment side of the story - and the steamy details.

While I kept screaming that what was lost in all of this was that the President of the United States committed perjury in a civil deposition - thus robbing a US citizen of their right to a fair trial. The *PRESIDENT* did this. The “leader of the free world” - the “alpha” - the HMFIC of the most powerful country on the planet violated one of that country’s most sacred individual rights...to cover up his sexual exploits and prevent everyone from knowing he had a history of sexual harassment...

And neither he nor anyone else was held accountable.

Well she certainly is a victim of the Clinton destruction machine... The sex may have been consensual, but there is no doubt that she was a victim of her boss and his minions to destroy her after it came out.

However, I think she was very likely abused sexually by someone long before she was an intern.

I don’t have anything to base that on other than a pattern of behavior that was documented in her pursuit of older men. That doesn’t necessarily mean she was abused by an older man when she was younger, but it is a pattern I have seen by women who were.

When it comes to women who are victims of men abusing their position over them, She clearly was victimized by Bill and Hillary and the rest of the left wing Minions.

However, as I said, I would not be surprised at all to find out, she was sexualized young by someone much older long before she was at the White House.

If not for a certain blue dress, her life would have been completely destroyed, with possible criminal charges for "stalking" an innocent POTUS, rather than becoming the butt of late night jokes.

Okay, there are a few things here....

One, was She even talking about Bill Clinton? And two, what is the context.

I am more than willing to believe Ms Lewinski was likely abused sexually LONG before she was at the white house... The fact she had a pattern of throwing herself at older men, while not “proof” of this, certainly is a behavior that I have seen with women who were sexually molested at a young age. I don’t have any evidence for this, but given her known pattern of behavior, this would not surprise me in the least if it turned out to be true.

Second, was she a victim? Yes, she may have been the one who pursued Bill Clinton, but that doesn’t mean she was not destroyed by her boss, and his minions for no other reason than she told the truth about having sex with him. She has indeed had her entire life ruined, by the Clinton’s and the left wing minions who made it their life’s work to destroy her, simply for telling the truth about what happened.

She may not be wholesale innocent, but she clearly is a victim of her Boss, and many other folks who were in positions of power over her.

Now I don’t know which context Ms Lewinski mean when she posted her #metoo, I cannot read her heart or mind, but I am okay with her claiming to be either way.... She may have been a willing participant in the sex, but she certainly didn’t sign up to have her life destroyed by her superiors because of it.

I think you nailed it. Monica was oversexualized too young. So many this week. � I guess to have my daughter fall into the Not Me category I have to stick next to her like glue until at least age 18and teach her lots of pride and self defense.

This whole episode prompted me to talk with my first-grader son about molestation. No one should touch your private parts......and if it happens to some kids, they are NEVER to blame.....the adult is ALWAYS to blame. Yes, Monica was 21-22 yo, but she was dealing in a powerful world and ‘the adult’ (in her case, BJ) is ALWAYS to blame.

SEX-CRAZED, EX-LOVER SAYS MONICA PLANNED PREZ SEDUCTION - TEACHER

Hardly a victim. Just as much a predator as Bill Clinton. And if she was sexually abused at a young age, why didn't she ever speak about it. She talked about everything else sexual in her life...why not that, especially in light of her need to be a victim...like most libs.

You can spew all your theories about this woman, but she ruined her own life. Nobody twisted her arm to have an affair with Clinton. She grew up in Beverly Hills for cripes sake. Her promiscuous behavior is the norm there.

It’s your human compassion that wins me over...

Seriously, I think you really need to educate yourself on sexually abused children and the behaviors they engage in and how they view the world. I have no idea if she was abused as a child, but I can say without any hesitation hypersexualizarion is indeed a behavior of abuse victims... is every hypersexualized person a victim of abuse? No, but many are.

As to her destroying her life, no Bill Clinton and his minions destroyed her life. She may have initiated the affair, but she didn’t sign up for having the man she engaged with it in using every power under the sun to destroy her once it became public. No one has suggested that Ms Lewinsky bears no responsibility for her actions or their consequences... but to think that she is not a victim of the Clinton/democratic machine is insane.

Many a young lady has fooled around with a married man, few have had their life’s completely destroyed by it. Most wind up hurt and learn their lesson and avoid the same mistake in the future, but no 24 year old is thinking if I get involve with a married many my life will em up deatroyed.

Would not be surprised if some male at some point gave her the “Oh, c’mon, you did it with Bill” bit. But assault?

Thanks for your lecture on humanity, and compassion. I already have an education, both from college degrees, and life experiences...thank you. You can give Ms. Lewinsky all the compassion you want. As a 70 year old woman, who has dealt with all kinds of men in my life, I’ll save my compassion for someone who deserves it. Had Ms. Lewinsky’s parents educated her properly on morals, and the sanctity of marriage, she might have had a chance, but somehow I doubt it, given the atmosphere, and environment she grew up in. She was, and still is, an air-head.
