Hillary in New Anti-rape Crusade

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said Friday that it's time to step up efforts to process DNA evidence against men accused of rape before they can rape again.

"We've had a steep increase in the number of reported rapes here in New York City," Clinton complained to the New York Times, which didn't report her remarks till Monday.

"It is now apparent that unless we process this information and start putting it to use, we are likely to see people who are serial rapists continue their crimes when we could have apprehended them before they could strike again."

The former first lady made no mention of the allegations against her own husband, who was accused of rape three years ago by Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick, who said she was brutally assaulted while attending a 1978 nursing home convention.

Still, the rape allegation in her own backyard has apparently left Mrs. Clinton unfazed. She charged that the delay in processing rape evidence is "just unacceptable" and pledged to provide "adequate funding to ensure that the backlog of unanalyzed rape kits is eliminated."

Sen. Clinton is sponsoring legislation that would provide federal money to help pay for the analysis of DNA samples in as many as 500,000 rape kits, the Times said.

"Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted," Mrs. Clinton contended - without mentioning other sexual assault allegations lodged against her husband, such as the one by former White House volunteer Kathleen Willey.

Still, Mrs. Clinton, who established Arkansas' first rape crisis hotline the same year her husband allegedly attacked Ms. Broaddrick, sounded adamant about her new anti-rape legislation.

"There are lots of problems we have today in law enforcement," she said. "But this is a solvable problem. We shouldn't go another year without dealing with it."

Sen. Clinton has never commented on Ms. Broaddrick's rape allegation against her husband. And no mainstream journalist has ever broached the topic with her.

... or, in the alternative, make all potential rapists look at a nude picture of Hillary. If that doesn't make them celebate, nothing will.

...step up efforts to process DNA evidence against men accused of rape before they can rape again...

Sometimes I wonder if things said like this are an accident, or intentional... because I don't see how, just because someone is "accused of rape", it can be assumed that they will "rape again"... I mean, what if the accusation is false? Will they STILL "rape again"????

Unless Yassars out, Hillary should not concern herself with being raped.

She defends her evil husband and schmoozes with Teddy Kennedy; if she is what is termed "pro-woman", I am glad the Republican party is "anti-woman."

Her picture - silkscreened on womens' undergarments. It should be more effective than pepper spray!

Also, she might be looking into putting her picture on the advertisement for THIS STUFF.

A military-grade stink bomb... could there POSSIBLY be a better product to associate with Hitlery?

,,, this woman is a classic leech. Climbing aboard a cause like she'd climb aboard a bus, with a calculated sense of urgency geared to fit the audience. It's a strategy far removed from the "I feel your pain" audience to a more militant following.

Someone, at some point has to ask her directly (away from the causes and supporters she's assembled) "what is your vision for this country?" That's the most feared question anyone could pose to a Marxist waiting in the wings for 2004.

Typical demoRAT solution, throw money at it! That's sure to fix the problem.

This was a very "safe" proposal for Hillary to advance. She knows that all the 'toon's victims never went to the police or doctors after their assaults ... therefore, there is NO evidence sitting in a locker with the 'toon's DNA on it.

Hillary is 100% self-serving as we all know. This is just the latest in a series of maneuvers which she can use as grist for her presidential election mill. She is shameless and disgusting.

Heck, why not declare once and for all that she's against all bad things and for all good things, and that those who oppose her are for the bad things and against the good things?!

"she needs to write a Bill w/ some teeth in it."

She has a "bill" but the poor hillbilly sucker is hindered
by a lifetime of poor dental care, endemic to hillbillys.

(My apologies to the good citizens of Arkansas..)
