What’s amazing to me about this story is not the contents so much as the fact that it’s actually appearing on Yahoo News, instead of just places like Newsmax. It’s still hard for me to imagine any story with the title “Demands Mount for Clintons to Acknowledge Intimidation, Rape” appearing at CNN or the other major networks, though:

“The history of Bill Clinton”s relationships with women has been one of physical and sexual harassment often followed by threats and intimidation,” says Jackson. “Over and over he has proven himself to be a “liberal misogynist” — a man who feels that his professed concern for women”s political rights gives him free rein to treat individual women like chattel.”

Kind of like Bob Packwood, until it finally caught up with him, because he was, after all, a Republican. Clinton apparently gets a permanent pass from the NOW gang, though.

Whether it was assembling a smear team to attack a grief-stricken widow, threatening a reporter for research an Arkansas health-care scandal, or hiring private investigators to bully an ex-flame”s family members, Jackson says that Clinton showed no reluctance to go after any woman who inconvenienced his political career. But the blame, according to Jackson, also falls on his wife”s shoulders.

“Hillary could have exercised her influence over him, instead she has stood beside him every step of the way, doing whatever was necessary to keep the Clinton political bandwagon rolling,” asserts Jackson. “The bottom line is that Hillary has enabled a rapist, and she needs to be called to account for her actions.”

As I’ve said before, if Hillary runs for president, the “Slick Grope Vets For Truth” will have their say.

What effect does the French and Dutch voting down the European constitution have on Hal Lindsey’s predictions?

The United States will not hold its present position of leadership in the western world; financially, the future leader will be Western Europe. Internal political chaos caused by student rebellion and Communist subversion will begin to erode the economy of our nation. Lack of moral principle by citizens and leaders will so weaken law and order that a state of anarchy will finally result. The military capability of the United States, though it is at present the most powerful in the world, has already been neutralized because no one has the courage to use it decisively. When the economy collapses so will the military.19

Something else that few have noted–while Chirac certainly lost big, another big loser is Valery Giscard D’estaing, who wrote the socialistic, micromanaging monstrosity that was voted down. I guess that’s what he gets for having a girl’s name.

I hadn’t previously paid much attention to Senator Voinovich until his lachrimose performance on the Senate floor over John Bolton. Now I think that he’s one of the most asinine members of the Senate (which is to say, he still has lots of competition among his colleagues). Apparently, some of his constituents in the Buckeye state think so too. Send him a hankie.

Canadians should keep a close eye on Belinda Stronach, and not just for the obvious reasons.

To quote someone else, heh.

Seriously, though, it is kind of amazing that there are still Japanese soldiers coming home from WW II after all these years. It was always a big story back in the sixties whenever one of these guys was found hiding out on some remote island (there was even a Gilligan’s Island episode based on one–see number fifteen in the link), and that was only twenty years after the war. Now it’s sixty.

I don’t think so. This is just a poll of “Americans,” not “likely” or even “registered” voters. It mainly reflects name recognition.

Besides, the Slick Grope Vets, including Juanita Broaddrick, will have plenty to say if she actually runs.

I’ve previously speculated that Bill Clinton wouldn’t have survived the blogosphere, had it existed in the early nineties. I don’t think that Hillary will either.

In response to some snark in the comments section, I decided to pull this up into the main post:

I’d just like to point out, for the benefit of the visitors here who didn’t buy the Clinton Chronicles Criterion Edition DVD, that the 3rd of your links itself includes links that suggest the Clintons murdered both Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and at least 34 other innocent people.

Ahhh, six degrees of separation of links. Pardon me while my eyes roll.

Rand, would you care to state, for the record, whether you believe either of those scenarios are true?

With regard to Vince Foster, I have no idea who killed him, but I think that, based on the publicly available evidence, it is extremely unlikely that he died in Fort Marcy Park, and there is little evidence to prove that he died by his own hand, and quite a bit the other way. The case was so badly botched that we’ll probably never know what happened, absent a confession on someone’s part. I do think it likely that the Clintons know who is responsible, but certainly can’t prove that. I also find it amusing that those who would otherwise demonize Ken Starr accept his word unquestioningly when it comes to the Foster report.

The Ron Brown death was extremely suspicious, and convenient to the Clintons in its timing, but again, I’m not going make any direct accusations. As in the Foster case, I lack sufficient data.

Anyways, for all the whining about how Democrats have no ideas, I’m thrilled to hear the GOP plans on leading with Bill’s character issues in their effort to tear Hillary down.

I said nothing about GOP plans. Not being a member of the GOP, I’ve no idea what their plans are (hint: not everyone who thinks that Bill Clinton was corrupt is a “right winger” or a Republican). I was describing the potential response of the blogosphere and the women he (and his wife) molested, slandered and libeled. Thanks for playing, though.

And if you think none of the potential GOP nominees have exploitable character issues, well, whatever. IOKIYAR and all.

Those are theoretical. Hillary’s are real.

Many of the objections in comments are beside the point, because this isn’t about Bill Clinton’s sexual behavior–it’s about his and Hillary’s (often successful) attempts at character assassination of his accusers.

That’s the kind of armband I’d like to wear, particularly around these clueless celebrities, whose well-meaning nostrums, as Stephen Pollard points out, would only further entrench poverty.
