Sen. Clinton Allegedly Intimidated Husband's Sexual Accusers

(CNSNews.com) - A new book detailing the alleged sexual improprieties of former president Bill Clinton also charges that current U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton played a major role in threatening and intimidating her husband's accusers.
Candice E. Jackson, author of "Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine," told Cybercast News Service that in addition to the "sexual abuse" she alleges was committed by Bill Clinton, "Hillary's involvement is just as devastating and just as important in all this."
"[Hillary Clinton] was right there in the inner circle taking a lead in giving these women zero credibility, in attacking them in the public and through the press and in participating in all of these scare tactics, like hiring private investigators to threaten them and follow them," Jackson explained.
Hillary Clinton is "either as misogynistic as her husband or she is simply willing to conspire to mistreat women if that's what it takes to preserve their political careers," Jackson added.
She said the former president's behavior toward numerous women "demonstrated sexual harassment and sexual abuse and ultimately misogyny on his part.
Jackson said Bill Clinton was guilty of "a true lack of respect of for women that allowed him to use and abuse them and throw them away when he was done and do whatever it took to keep them quiet if they tried to speak up about it."
Jackson is an attorney and formerly worked for the legal watchdog group Judicial Watch, which has filed numerous lawsuits over the last decade targeting both Bill and Hillary Clinton for their alleged roles in various controversies.
Jackson's book details how Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey, both accusers of Bill Clinton, dealt with the White House spin machine as it allegedly attempted to discredit, bribe, audit, threaten and intimidate them.
"The gravity, the seriousness of the mistreatment that they suffered, really just didn't come through in the mainstream press at the time," Jackson said. Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and subsequent two terms in office were surrounded by a host of different women alleging sexual improprieties.
Broaddrick alleged that then-Arkansas attorney general Bill Clinton raped her in a hotel in Little Rock, Ark., in 1978.
"People need to remember this side of Clinton before writing him up as a hero for women." said Broaddrick in a press release regarding the book "Their Lives," which goes on sale Tuesday.
Willey alleged she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton in the White House in 1993 during his first term.
"I appreciate [Jackson's] painstaking attempt to express the true nightmare Bill and Hillary put me through." Willey said of the book in a statement.
Jackson admits that one of her goals it to prevent Sen. Hillary Clinton from being elected president in 2008. Mrs. Clinton to expected to run for re-election to the Senate representing New York State in 2006 and then perhaps launch a Democratic bid to win the White House that her husband occupied between 1993 and 2001.
"We have let the Clintons go to the White House once and I think this is a serious enough abuse issue to prevent them from going there again," Jackson said.
Jackson, who describes herself as a "libertarian feminist," hopes her book will open the eyes of feminists in the U.S. to the "importance of not allowing the Clintons to escape with a reputation for being pro-woman when they have truly destroyed women along the way.
"The Clintons have really gotten away with a political reputation of being defenders of women's rights and women's issues," Jackson said. "To me that really says a lot about the state of feminism in this country. It seems like it doesn't even matter whether women are brutally mistreated as long as politicians support abortion rights," she added.
Calls to the New York City press office of former president Bill Clinton and the Washington office of Sen. Hillary Clinton were not returned.

Don't forget that Hill who ordered Janet Reno to send the tanks in at Waco. Hill snapped that she was sick of seeing it on tv.

Clintons really couldn't care a wit about women....or anyone but themselves,
But why does W treat them with such respect?

I haven't lost energy yet in seeing this scum thrown onto the trash heap of history. Not a whole lot would make me happier than to witness that.
I have enough energy for the both of us Annie, so I'll carry on and you can take a breather. Just try to resurface in 2008 all rested and ready for battle. ;)

"However, it's going to take so much more energy than I have to defeat her in '08."
Some of us still have a LOT of energy. Righteous indignation will take temporary setbacks in stride and press on. Related, recent rant I forgot to ping you (and I's sure others) to:

Not to worry....I'm fatigued, but will never stop fighting the lib/dems.

Much to do about nothing. Hillary, with all the help from all the media, will skate through the nomination and very possibly win the 2008 election. Remember, Scary Kerry, lost by 1 state.
She will deny, deny, deny and the media will make sure her words are heard. This book will get virtually no mention and when it does, it will be called another hit piece by the Clinton haters.

Personally, I don't really want a prez who acts the weenie by spitting on or whining about x presidents. He has to maintain appearances and respect for the office. He may very well feel sorry for the pitiful and weak-of-character people really are. But bottom line, W's not going to disrespect the office of President.
