Clinton Spokesman Scoffs at Willey and Broaddrick's Visit to Library

Former President's spokesman dismisses Clinton Library tour by sexual assault accusers Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick. October 26th tour aims to promote awareness, raise charitable donations. Other Clinton victims invited to join.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 19, 2005 -- The spokesman for former President Bill Clinton derided the upcoming visit to the Clinton Library by sexual assault accusers Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey, according to recently published reports. The duo plans to tour the Library on October 26 with attorney Candice E. Jackson to promote awareness of Bill and Hillary Clinton's treatment of women and to call for donations to groups that fight domestic violence. Jackson -- who is a survivor of rape -- earlier this year authored a book that alleged abuses of power by the Clintons against Broaddrick, Willey, and a half dozen other women.

The taunts by Clinton spokesman Jay Carson were published late last week in the New York Daily News' “Lowdown” feature. Carson is quoted as telling columnist Lloyd Grove that he had no concerns about Willey and Broaddrick's visit. The spokesman stated: “The Clinton Library has shattered all attendance records this year, and we're always happy to hear about new visitors.”

This playful statement stands in stark contrast to the serious allegations made by Broaddrick and Willey. Broaddrick alleges that Clinton raped her during a conference in Little Rock in 1978, and Willey says that he sexually assaulted her when she worked in the White House in 1993. Both also charge that Clinton's inner circle -- including Hillary Rodham Clinton -- subsequently attempted to intimidate them into silence.

“It's disdainful that Bill Clinton's spokesman would mock Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey and then boast about the Library's attendance,” said Jackson. “It's not surprising, though -- this is the modus operandi that Team Clinton has always used to discredit, intimidate, and silence the women who've tried to shine a light on Clinton’s history of misogyny. Whether it means labeling accusers as 'trash looking for cash' or even sending thugs to scare them, apparently nothing is off limits.”

Jackson also noted the irony in Carson's statement given that US News & World Report earlier this year reported that the Clinton Library publicly overstated its attendance figures.

Broaddrick, Willey, and Jackson also issued a public invitation to other women who claim to have been assaulted by Clinton to join them for the tour. Jackson noted that while researching her book she came across multiple accounts of women who were too intimidated to go public, prompting her to add: “We'd like to welcome any of the women who’ve been assaulted -- whether they have previously gone public or not -- to join us. We want to see the Library's version of Clinton's 'legacy' firsthand, and to make the public aware of any omissions.”

None of the women touring the Clinton Library are receiving sponsorships or financial consideration for the activity, and a portion of the proceeds from all sales of Jackson's book “Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine” are going to a charity that works to prevent domestic abuse.

What a classy spokesman, Bill. He should fit in just fine with the rest of your team.

[Ron in Acreage]

Clinton has never even denied these charges. Only his attorney has. The media will never have the balls to question him about them.

[oyez]

I hope visitors will ask "Where is the Vince Foster memorial?"

[RexBeach]

So, how many people HAVE visited "Bubba's" library? Boy, those folks must have a lot of time to spare.

IF a conservative treated women this way, who had accused him of rape and molestation, the library would have to be boarded up and burnt down.

I recall the NYT writing dozens of articles about Sen. Packwood and how he, as a single man, dared to pester single women for dates and even tried to kiss them. The "worst" was when they did a major article because he allegedly stood in the doorway of a supporter's home and flirted with the guy's 18 year old daughter.

But they could care less that Clinton beat Juanita B and violently raped her - corroborated by her injuries and what she told her friends immediately after it happened.

Slick and O.J. can get away with rape and murder. So we should just 'put some ice on it' and accept that fact.

So to paraphrase the impeached former president's spokesmodel, "Bill is out of town - the women will be safe."

[Quilla]

I think it's basically the same two gals, visiting over and over and over, that make up these numbers. I understand they're bored to death during the day as they normally work nights .

Why should Bubba concern himself with denials? People like Daddy Bush, GWB, and Billy Graham are all too happy to praise or truck socially with this criminal, traitor, draft dodger, rapist, and sexual assaulter. He gets away with all his evil deeds - for now.

Thanks for posting this article.

Bill Clinton is a serial rapist. While I don't know whether to hate or pity Hillary, I know that is an effective and direct message which the conservative groups should pound home in the 2008 elections.

Exactly! Just look what they tried to do to C. Thomas with only one supposed victim...with even less credibility. This media that is all of the sudden concerned with the "slash-and-burn" tactics of Libby and Rove, completely ignored what it was that Clinton did to these women...and any critic of the Clintons.

Heck, Clinton employed PIs like Lenzer and IGI to look into the backgrounds of people, and threaten anybody who might pose a threat. The fact that the media completely ignored this still angers me...especially now that they have the nerve to suggest Bush is somehow worse.

[Gay State Conservative]

Of course Billy Bob would scoff.In order for him to feel any shame,embarrassment or remorse he'd have to have a conscience.

[DA740]

Bill Clinton was never a US president.

Bill Clinton was a piece of southern fried white trash masquerading as Elvis Presley reborn, and elected into high office by females.

Not a president. Never. Repeal the 19th Amendment.

"He gets away with all his evil deeds.."

Yes...he gets away with all this, while the possibility exists that Libby and/or Rove could be indicted for doing nothing more than correcting the blatant lies of Joe Wilson. Just like the Republican, Chuck Colson, went to jail for disseminating one FBI file, while the Clinton's possessed over 900 files and nothing was done.

Not only did the bartender (Craig Livingstone) in charge of WH security get a pass...so did Ken Bacon for doing exactly what Colson did when he publicized Linda Tripp's private records. If this indictment comes down, Republicans better be prepared to start fighting back. With Delay and Frist under the gun, the mediacrats are targeting the GOP, one by one, as their criminal acts are continually swept under the rug and ignored by the media.

Heck, you had the Bush DOJ arguing for leniency for a convicted Sandy Berger, while their counterparts on the other side of the aisle are filing false indictments against our top leaders. I don't know how much more of this I can take before I've had enough. I'm getting sick and tired of defending a party that doesn't have the will to fight back against an enemy that is playing for keeps.

What's amazing is that Billy Boy and the Hildabeast are still walking around free.
