A wise person would realize by this point that attacking the victim is a mistake, but I won’t hold my breath waiting for you to retract your foolish comments.

Thanks for the insults.

I didn't attack the victim. Her story was believable to me and I do believe she was raped.

I said that she had a duty to report the crime. There are countless rapists in jail even back in the 70's from crimes where the women reported the crime. And there have been many political careers ruined by the public being aware of an affair much less rape.

My point was she had her chance and coming forward now does nothing to help rape victims, but it does give Hillary an out to claim it's just an old discredited story by the vast right wing conspiracy.

Here was your first comment: “What’s the statute of limitations on victimhood?”

The statute of limitations for rape in Arkansas at the time was six years. She did not go public for 21 years.

“I didn’t attack the victim.”

Your initial comment seems very derisive. There is no statute of limitations on “victimhood”. That’s because being a victim is not a crime. Nor does a statute of limitations change the reality of being a victim.

“I said that she had a duty to report the crime.”

If that is ALL that you said, or if you had merely stated it that way, you would not be experiencing the “insults” you are complaining about.

I do not disagree with you on that. On the other hand, I think your comments do indicate an apparent lack of understanding of what rape victims experience. This includes everything from the medical procedure of using a rape kit (which is nearly as invasive as rape itself), to being interrogated, to being publicly shamed and ridiculed, to being threatened.

“coming forward now does nothing to help rape victims, but it does give Hillary an out”

Wrong. It may have been better to report it to the authorities immediately, but it is still good that she publicly address what happened. This is especially true because all the evidence supports that the Clintons have never repented of their crimes, never tried to make things right, and have only grown more corrupt and contemptible over time.

That may be correct but YOU weren't raped by the Governor of Arkansas who had the entire state police and crooked judiciary on his side...........Nor was YOUR business in jeopardy of being closed down should you have voiced your claim........

You seem to have conveniently forgotten about Paula Jones and "TrooperGate"..........

Sorry but it was NEVER discredited, it was ignored by the MSM during a time when the vast majority of people didn't have access to the internet..............NOW THEY DO and NOW is the time to refresh old memories and inform those who never heard of the suppressed scandal..........
