Many months ago when the story first broke there were stories on the net about a black fraternity party at NCCU. I am sure there are people here who remember that.

We believe you, Juanita (we think)
Susan Faludi, Susan Brownmiller, Katie Roiphe, Gloria Allred and others respond to Juanita Broaddrick's explosive charges.
BY CAMILLE PERI, FIONA MORGAN AND DAWN MacKEEN | "I just couldn't hold it in any longer," Juanita Broaddrick told Lisa Myers in an interview that aired on "Dateline NBC" last week, explaining why she came forward after 21 years to allege that then-Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton had raped her. "I didn't want granddaughters and nieces when they're 21 years old to turn to me and say, 'Why didn't you tell what this man did to you?'"

It was a touching moment and, according to a Fox News survey, a convincing one -- a remarkable 54 percent of the "scandal-weary" American public who watched the interview believed Broaddrick was telling the truth.

Susan Brownmiller (author of "Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape"):
I think Juanita Broaddrick's story is credible. You judge a witness when you see them. I watched her on television and she struck me as telling an honest story.

Susan Faludi (journalist and author of "Backlash: The Undeclared War against American Women"):
Juanita Broaddrick's story sounded credible to me, but I'm just somebody watching somebody speak on television. It's not a story that I've personally investigated, so to say that she's credible is just a gut reaction on my part. That said, I have no reason to disbelieve her.

Gloria Allred (attorney -- filed a friend of the court brief in Jones' sexual harassment suit against Clinton):
I think Juanita Broaddrick appeared very credible on the interview on NBC. I don't find it a problem that it occurred 20 years ago and it was in a hotel room -- just because it was in a hotel room doesn't mean that she couldn't have been a victim of sexual assault. Because she didn't report it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
