Oh, really? Typical liberal neither taking responsibility or blame for what one of their own has done. Always another’s fault.
Conclusion: Clinton’s a slave to his animal instincts, unable to control himself and can’t be blamed for responding automatically to a flashed thong by humping the lust object.
Got it.
Just like all victims of rape and sexual harassment were asking for it, too.
Or is that only when the perp is a Democrat?
The issue is not the "affair" - who cares ? I'd cheat on her Thighness too. The impeachable offense was lying many times to the Grand Jury!
Well, she she did take a rather deep gulp.
The issue is that Lewinski was a young subordinate and that Clinton should have had the manliness to exercise self control and avoid her.
So, Ruth, if a woman comes on to a policeman and he has sex with her, is that okay because she was kinda asking for it? How about a teacher with an 18 year old student? Is that okay because maybe the student was kinda asking for it.
Can you imagine them forgiving Bush for molesting an intern if she ‘flashed a thong’
We let the msm destroy Todd Aiken because a comment. And no matter badly and how often Clinton abuses women he gets a pass.
Of course Monica was asking for it. That’s entirely beside the point. The issue was the extreme “power imbalance”. If Clinton had been (say) a community college instructor, and Lewinsky a student; he would have lost his job (and might even face criminal charges). It’s all about the “power imbalance” — making it a form of white-collar rape. Meanwhile, Clinton was the most powerful man in the world, and Lewinsky was an unpaid intern. There could not possibly be a greater power difference; and the onus was on Clinton to avoid improprieties — no matter what Lewinsky was “asking for”.
I wonder if Juanita Broderick was “asking for it” too?
I guess maybe ‘No’ doesn’t always mean ‘No’ does it... (if you’re a democrat)
Or Kathleen Willey. Can you believe the nerve of her to show up in the Oval Office and ask Bill for help the day after her husband died? She was asking for it...
So...if Mitchell’s husband, the Crypt-Keeper, had a pretty, young, blind, desperate, pathetic intern come onto him, it would have been ok if the Crypt-keeper opened his fly, let the dust out, and then let her have her way with him? Got it.
Hum I guess with her logic Beyoncé (Grammy Performance)is asking for it.
[ Liberal logic ]
It is more like Islamic Fundamentalist logic, ie. “the men have no self control or are expected to have no self control and the women if they get abused most certainly asked for it”.....
Pretty much Satanic from both sides
it was the liberals who wrote sexual harassment laws whereby female subordinates cannot consent to sexual contact with male superiors due to the power relationship, so whether monica was willing or not, she was the victim.
If any liberal was caught molesting a todler on the capital steps the media would blame the kid. Anything to protect their allies. If a conservative was found with picture of their 3 YO child in the bathtub the media would scream child abuse.
Whereas a progressives is kind, sensitive, and giving, and any woman would welcome his touch.
Just so you understand where liberal women are coming from.
Clinton and his supporters have been very effective in persuading large numbers of Americans that the Lewinsky scandal was “only about sex.” But I see a bigger issue here, because Clinton is on record as saying that he would have done anything to keep knowledge of the Lewinsky affair from becoming public.
To me, that statement raises a very serious question: What if, instead of sending her recorded Lewinsky conversations to Ken Starr, Linda Tripp had instead secretly offered them for sale, say, to the Chinese government? Or to the Russians? Or even to agents of Saddam?
What kind of blackmail leverage would those tapes have provided to a foreign government in dealing with America on sensitive trade, security or military issues? One of the few things Clinton ever said that I believe is that he would have done anything to keep the Lewinsky affair secret. Given his demonstrated track record of selling out American interests for personal or political gain, how far would he have gone in compromising America’s real interests in order to protect his own neck when threatened with blackmail?
Pretty far, I believe. Equally distressing is the prospect Clinton might, in fact, have actually succumbed to foreign black mail on other occasions in order to hide different sexual episodes that ultimately did not become public. There is no way to know, of course, but I prefer presidents for whom such a scenario is not a plausible possibility.
“I recall some thong flashing there,” she said.
Gees I can only conclude she was there - involved in a threesome?
Remember that hard-core feminist Gloria Steinem defended Bill Clinton during the Paula Jones / Kathleen Willey / Juanita Broderick sex/rape controversies.
And she is the one who proposed the “One free Grope” rule whereby a man like Clinton (who she greatly admired) should get one free pass if he tries to pressure or force a female into having sex or performing a sex act.
Steinem developed that doctrine only after she stood by Anita Hill when she and the democrats tried to destroy Clarence Thomas for allegedly discussing sex and sex films with Hill.
But it doesn't matter as he is dem so all logic and laws do not apply.
