Yes. This isn’t a Camille Cosby situation. And even in that situation (where I do think Cosby is complicit), refusing to incriminate your husband in a deposition is not equal to rape.

I’m sorry, but this a completely irrational and unreasonable interpretation of the statement “victims have a right to be believed.” That statement does not mean that no one anywhere should ever believe in an accused rapist’s innocence, it means that all victims have the right to have their stories taken seriously by…
If I saw someone at a party who I believed was having a consensual affair with my spouse, I would avoid them (preferably), or make a loud, possibly drunken, ridiculous ass of myself (more realistically). I wouldn’t use coded pleasantries to convey a below-the-radar threat.
I have always found it troubling that people expect Hillary to believe and champion Juanita and even Monica. I have known my brothers my whole life, my partner only for 3 years but we’ve spent almost every day together. If someone came forward and said my brothers or boyfriend had raped them, I would have a very, VERY…
A slightly different take on Broaddrick’s version of events:
That’s a really good point about Monica hurting Hillary with the affair that strangely I’ve never thought of. Why do we expect Hillary to have treated Monica well instead of behaving like a hurt human being? I absolutely think many other people involved treated Monica poorly so that Monica could be the scapegoat for…
I find it really ridiculous and shitty to paint Hillary as a terrible person for not wanting to believe her husband is a rapist. How many women are cheated on, lied to, abused, humiliated, and hurt by their husbands and don’t leave? How many women have blamed the other woman when her husband cheats? I’d guess…
I believe something happened between her and Bill.
I do not believe Hillary tried to intimidate her in the way she describes.
I do not think her relationship with her husband disqualifies her for the presidency.
HOWEVER, I am worried about what Bill’s role in a Hillary Clinton administration will be. I have a hard time…
I can speak a little to this, as a DV survivor. My ex and I had many mutual friends. After the incident happened, a lot of those mutual friends sided with him, for dubious reasons. Over time, I actually came to hate them more than I hated him. Oh, trust me, I hated him too. But them... It’s hard to explain, but I…
This is such an important point. I believe Broaddrick.
Ken Starr would’ve had an orgasm if there’d been the least little thing about Broaddrick’s story he could’ve used. And if there had been anything, Starr would’ve found it.
It’s especially unfortunate that the way she has been taken advantage of by a whole series of people with their own agendas has made the kernel of her story less and less meaningful.
Yeah, I mean if all Hillary did was shake her hand a little too hard, according to her perception, I am not buying the whole “intimidation” bullshit. Say what you will about Bill, but this sounds like someone who hates Hillary with a passion and is doing her best to blame Hillary for what is potentially a crime…
You basically have to believe that Bill told Hillary that he raped a woman, to believe that Hillary intimidated Broaddrick. And then you also have make additional leaps as to why Bill’s actions are Hillary’s fault. And then it gets more confusing since Broaddrick seems more focused on Hillary than Bill.
I’m not going to make a claim about mental illness. That said, I do think that the idea that Bill went home and told Hillary he raped a woman is preposterous. Frankly, I can’t see him going home and telling her he slept with another woman. All we know Hillary did was to thank Ms. Broaddrick for doing “something” for…
Setting aside anything having to do with Bill, I just can’t buy her story about the Hillary Clinton encounter.
All I know is I will NOT be voting for Bill Clinton this November.
He was, actually.
“Ambition is to Hillary what silver was to Judas”
What can we say? The intimidation story is the only part of this that accuses the actual Presidential candidate of doing anything, and it is pretty subjective even if true.
