Hillary and Porn By Sarah Rode June 13, 2007
In Hillary Clinton’s America, pornography would be legal, accessible and protected. That’s the way it was while her husband was president, according to a woman who would know.
Jenna Jameson is a multi-millionaire feminist businesswoman who has endorsed Hillary because under the Clinton administration her industry flourished. She is very critical of President Bush because his administration has not been kind to her line of work — the production and sale of pornography. Despite branching out into some mainstream projects, Miss Jameson is still considered one of the most famous porn stars around. She said in a recent interview, “The Clinton administration was the best years for the adult industry, and I wish that Clinton would run again.” I suppose she would know.
President Bush has been routinely critiqued for not doing enough to crack down on obscenity. According to Miss Jameson, however, it has been an uphill battle for her pornographic business:
When Republicans are in office, the problem is, a lot of times they try to put their crosshairs on the adult industry, to make a point. I look forward to another Democrat being in office. It just makes the climate so much better for us … and I think that getting Bush out of office is the most important thing right now.
If Attorney General Gonzales’ lenient policies have been harsh on the adult industry, one can only imagine how tolerant Hillary Clinton’s administration would be of spreading pornography throughout our country.
Former President Clinton ignored the issue of obscenity, and it is safe to assume that Senator Clinton would do the same. According to an article in the Baltimore Sun, “Obscenity cases came to a standstill under Janet Reno, President Bill Clinton's attorney general … The ensuing years saw an explosion of porn, so much so that critics say that Americans’ tolerance for sexually explicit material rivals that of Europeans.”
Fortunately, under the Bush administration, Attorney General John Ashcroft renewed the fight against obscenity, making the prosecution of obscenity a priority under his leadership. He stated in a speech in 2002, “Obscenity invades our homes persistently through the mail, telephone, VCR, cable TV and now the Internet. This multimillion dollar industry has strewn its victims from coast to coast.” Although he fought against the proliferation of pornography in America, his successor has been silent on the issue, just like Clinton’s attorney general.
It is unfortunate and inconsistent that Hillary and her “feminist” endorsers not only tolerate but also promote pornography. If they were true feminists, they would reject the objectification of women. It is interesting that in their fight to liberate women, they have instead endorsed the image of women as sexual objects. Pornography exploits women’s sexuality for money. That’s liberating?

Didn’t her Christmas tree decorations let us know just how The Shreeker felt about this type of thing?
:-(
“Yes, and it’s tatooed on their butts.”
That’s not true. I’ve watched porn, and usually their butts just have pimples.
“I think I’ll pass. She looks like a freak, IMO.”
I don’t think she looks like a FREAK... but I just never understood men’s attraction to her. She’s supposedly gorgeous, but I just think.. meh.
I think that porn is a double-edged sword. It went from peep-show sleeze theaters and grainy 8mm films to a huge business today. It drove advances in in-home entertainment (think VHS+home theater). It made the internet ubiquitous in the 90s. It's driven the development of high-speed bandwidth infrastructure this decade. I think that the next advancement that it will drive will be a Virtual Reality-type environment (think Star Trek Holodeck).
Would these advancements have come about without porn as a driver? Sure, but IMHO, they would've taken a lot longer. Never underestimate the power of legions of horny geeks with no girlfriends and lots of disposable income.
HOWEVER, is society as a whole, worse off for it? I would guess yes, but I'm not certain. I'm sure that people are far more desensitized to sexual content, and that's not a good thing. I don't have enough contact with teenagers that have grown up with virtually unlimited access to porn (NetNanny works all the time? surrrre, keep on believing that) to see what the end result is. I would think that they'd get bored with porn, just like any other thing that's no longer "new and interesting". But I don't know.
Things have changed a lot from sneaking into my friend's father's garage and checking out his stash of Playboy mags.
Jenna is featured constantly on TV Guide as a great talent.
NBC cannot push queers on us fast enuf.....
Queer Eye...Will & Grace.......Jenna
You mean the same Gonzales who subpoenaed google's search records to see who was looking for porn?
“Absolute BS. Nothing ‘invades’ my home that I don’t let in. I can protect myself from obscenity just fine, thank you very much.”
Thank goodness for these Concerned Women who act as morality police and feel it necessary to protect us from that which we can easily protect ourselves. Could be that they just don’t like it so nobody should be aloud to watch it?
Uh, babe, that's a self-correcting problem.
You just made me lose my breakfast . UGHHH !!!!
No porn for me today, thanks.
“Could be that they just don’t like it so nobody should be aloud to watch it?”
Or, allowed to go to school!
“Queer Eye...Will & Grace.......Jenna”
1. This is Queer Eye’s last season, apparently.
2. Will and Grace ended.
3. Jenna is married, I think...
Some good speculation there without jumping to conclusions. I don’t really know the long-term impact either. You are correct that the porn industry is the internet’s dirty little secret. For years it was the number one business conducted online. Still, it’s nothing new. There are pornographic cave drawings as well as other porn relics from the ancient world. It seems it’s been a porn “challenge” that’s been with us forever no matter the technology or the anti-porn campaigns.
Yep.
I've watched a few friends get lost in "EverQuest". They called it "EverCrack". Basically, they'd go to work, come home, jump into the game, play until 3 or 4 in the morning, sleep a couple hours, and repeat.
What a lousy life. (I prefer to do my living in the real world, not the virtual one...) I'd only wonder what these people would be like if they got physical feedback from a game. They'd wither away and die, I suspect. LOL!
Jenna was married, but that’s over. I believe she’s currently dating Ultimate Fighter Tito Ortiz.
I would describe her as very, very lucky. The porn business chews girls up and spits them out with new "talent" lining up around the block to take their places. When you think of the thousands (or perhaps tens of thousands, maybe more) of girls who have been paid to have sex on camera, relatively few, maybe less than half a dozen, have amassed real, long-term financial wealth.
The rest? Well, I'm sure they were all promised to be the "Next Jenna Jamison" but things didn't quite work out.
