Paula Jones. James Carville called her trailer park trash. Evan Thomas said she was a "sleazy woman"
Gloria Steinem said Bill Clinton was entitled to a "freebie" when he groped Kathleen Willey.
That's Juanita Broaddrick on the right. Lanny Davis said we should all feel dirty even speaking of her accusations.
Betsy Wright had Flowers in mind as the bimbo in "bimbo eruption."
This is Mary Jo Kopechne. Ted Kennedy "forgot" about her while she was trapped in an inverted submerged car.
Democrats are pitching a phony "war on women" by the right following Rush Limbaugh's comments on Sandra Fluke. They absolutely pale in contrast to what democrats have done. Rand Simberg recalls democrats' war on women over the last several decades:
An evergreen guide to what the Left is doing or plans to do is to listen to what they accuse their political opponents of. Along those lines, incandescent in its projection, cynicism, and hypocrisy is the latest mantra emanating from the Democrats of the “Republican War On Women,” based on nothing more than some crude comments (since apologized for) by a talk-show host aimed at a Democrat feminist activist who thinks that the world owes her free (and expensive) contraception and, moreover, that it should be done in violation of the religious conscience of Catholics. Of course, they don’t want their demagoguery to be distracted by the annoying reality that their own misogyny and assault on women is much more virulent, and has been going on for much longer.It should be shocking, by the conventional narrative, that the White House of a “liberal” president would be a hostile work environment for women, but it is not at all a surprise to anyone familiar with the history of the Democrats and the Left, going back at least to the 1960s, when a prominent Democrat politician got a pass from the media for abandoning a young woman (possibly pregnant by him) to drown in his car. The same man went on to later fame as the top slice of bread in a “waitress sandwich,” and yet was so lionized by the Left that not that long ago, at the time of his death, a woman(!) wrote that Mary Jo Kopechne might have been happy to undergo the terror as her lungs filled with the brackish water of Martha’s Vineyard had she only known what a great legislator he would turn out to be.
To see similar hypocritical Leftist misogyny, we need only go back to the last time a Democrat was in the White House. Whenever a woman came forward with allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct by Bill Clinton, the response of the Clinton defenders, both in and out of the media, was to attack her credibility, character, and virtue. Advisor James Carville famously said of Paula Jones (the young Arkansas state employee whom Clinton as governor had his state police guard procure to his hotel room for the purpose of orally pleasuring him), “Drag $100 bills through trailer parks, there’s no telling what you’ll find.” Evan Thomas of Newsweek dutifully complemented the slander by declaring her on national television “just some sleazy woman with big hair coming out of the trailer parks,” though he later was compelled to apologize in print. (One wonders how residents of trailer parks felt about that, but I guess empathy for them is for the little people.) When Kathleen Willey accused the president of groping her in the White House, and was physically threatened for her trouble, feminist icon and (former) scourge of sexual harassers Gloria Steinem said that it was no problem — he was entitled to a freebie, after which Cathy Young of Reason magazine reported on “the death of sexual harassment.”
It got worse. As the Paula Jones lawsuit progressed, and the president committed acts of obstruction of justice (federal felonies) by perjury and subornation of perjury through threats and bribes, the White House was prepared to go after Monica Lewinsky, the woman about whom he engaged in such obstruction. She was bribed with jobs, and urged to in turn suborn perjury from her confidante Linda Tripp, by implying threats against her family. If the incriminating blue dress hadn’t turned up, their plan was to continue to cover up and lie, and accuse Lewinsky of being a crazy stalker. The White House orchestrated the leak of the personnel files of Pentagon employee Linda Tripp, the only person in the entire fiasco who told the truth, in an attempt (sadly quite successful) to discredit her. This included a mistaken felony arrest record that had been sealed since she was a teenager. She was vilified and maligned in the media, with late-night comedians mocking her physical appearance. It’s unlikely that many of these people were either conservatives or Republicans.
Read it all.
Barack Obama is not without sin. His administration made life brutal for women.

Great article. Truth. Big Time.
Waiting for the entirely predictable “blog pimp” accusation in 3, 2, 1.....
Speaking of totalitarians making life brutal for women...
“EHHHH ,Better put some ice on that!”
The operating theme of the liberal left is psychological projection. They accuse others of the actions they take.
The Democrats are great at making charges like this.
The Republicans are great for sitting on their hands and letting them get away with it.
Yup, any time now
bump for l8r
What about how women are degraded in porn, by many rap musicians, and in some movies and TV shows? Do the libs, moveon, or other Dems want to do something about this?
Apparently not. I did not see Gloria and her wig anywhere protesting the San Francisco Sheriff who was charged in assault on his wife and witness tampering. And he is a lawman, not a radio personality. Gloria is a hypocrite with a personal vendetta.
