BUT BILL!!!

Sure, investigate the allegations against Bill Clinton.  He's not up for SCOTUS, but if rape allegations were never pursued, that's not right.  It is my understanding that the statute of limitations for rape in Arkansas runs a maximum of 15 years, so there is likely no chance for conviction, but Broaddrick never really got a fair shake in that whole process, so if it helps clear her name then go for it.  #notanattorney

If Bill raped someone, hang him from the rafters. I couldn't care less.

Pretty sure, though, that Republicans are the people who want to punish the Clintons the least.  They'd be like a dog who caught the car they were chasing and wouldn't know what to do next.

I think Mojo has it right -- Garrett is probably in on this with Kavanaugh and Whelan. His name will be "cleared" once Kav is confirmed and they will hope this whole rape thing just fizzles out the way the Thomas scandal did. 

Is there no scandal that can't be what aboutted with you morons? Fine, throw Clinton up under the fucking jail. I don't give a shit. And it has absolutely no bearing on what's going on right now.

Well, except for the fact that it has nothing to do with this particular case other than the nature of the actions.

The Kavanaugh case is all about timing.  I fit were not, then I suspect the R's would have moved on to another candidate and started the process all over again.

I think the D's would agree with looking at Clinton if it meant a similar amount of time be allowed to look at Kavanaugh-which is of course, ridiculous.

The FBI only needed 3 fucking days to handle Anita Hill.

If Kavanaugh was 100% innocent, they could have had this open, investigated and closed by now and vote next week.

 Taking this discussion to the next level. Trump shaming what is effectively a 15 year old accusing someone of sexual assault.   

If trump wants Collins to vote no then this is great strategy.

It doesn't ?  It's what jump started the huge divide and party partisanship we're embroiled in now.  The democrat party stood lockstep behind Clinton on every single one of his sexual assault charges.   If you didn't experience those yers you really can't say shit about a but Clinton comparison to any sex scandal in Washington, he's the gold standard.

The women who made charges against Clinton were all attacked in the media, and by members of his party, administration, re election committees.  His wife, who probably led the charge (the woman who'd dedicated her whole career to helping women and girls), and the groups that supported him, NOW being the one that was such a head scratcher. But hey he was one of theirs, so he had to be supported....

The Clintons have been the face of the party since he was elected, even when Mr.Obama was president they were always right there on the edge of the stage.  So while the but Clinton thing isn't relevant to the situation now,  its damn sure no different than the circling of wagons the republicans are engaged in.  History has consequences.

Exactly my point.

However, I think in this case it would take more than 3 days, but not more than say, two weeks.

I was in elementary school when Bill was impeached.  I was raised in an extremely anti-Clinton household.  I held my nose and voted for Hillary purely as a vote against Trump.  You're barking up the wrong tree, champ.

So Hatch's office was involved with defaming the classmate as a rapist?  Would be a hilarious to see a defamation suit come out of this, but I'm sure some reptilian conservative donor will pay off the classmate if such a thing is threatened.

I did experience those years as an adult and as I recall Anita Hill came before any of Clinton's bimbo eruptions.

And I, along wIth lots of other people who didn't want to ever see another Clinton in the WH did the same thing.  

What's your point ?  Of course there were millions who didn't like Clinton. The point is his own party supported him lockstep for every single incident that came up.  Which is what's happening now with Kavvanaugh with less factual and or timely evidence. Which does not mean I don't think she's being truthful in her allegations, and think an investigation should be conducted.

Ahh, yes, the GOP is  going strong with the absolutely false premise that "if a woman didn't report a rape right when it happened, then it didn't happen."  Fantastic.  Particularly in light of the fact that there are literally hundreds of thousands of cases of sexual assault  that were not reported or dealt with until decades later.  Including some cases that  have been in the headlines in recent months.

Solid.  Way to cement the party's position with women.

Yep.  Put me in the "sure, go ahead" camp.  I was never a Bill fan, the allegations of assault against him troubled me greatly, and I want ALL credible allegations -- by anyone, against  anyone -- properly investigated.  Always.  Forever.  And I always have.

The Clintons have probably been investigated more than any other people in history. I am actually somewhat shocked that the GOP never found anything that could stick. 

Investigate Juanita's alleged rape again all you want. Convict Bill if it happened and convict Hillary if she obstructed justice.

We need to have a hearing on it.  Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick need to have an opportunity to have their say.  We need a four day extravaganza and Hillary needs to testify under oath about what she did to try to silence these women.

My take is that if Clinton has/had credible accusations brought against him, then they should be investigated thoroughly, same as BK.  Time spent on said investigations will vary dependent on each case.

I don't doubt that Dems rallied around Clinton at the time.  I was a paid subscriber to the Conservative Chronicle and daily listener of Limbaugh during all that.  It was at the forefront of the sexual abuse outtings.  Up until then we had had the gossip about Marilyn Monroe and the Kenedy bros, Gary Hart and a few other cases that were put forward as infidelity trysts or mistresses.  The concept of someone forcing a woman was pretty foreign to a lot of the public.  Surely it was going on, but it wasn't talked about as openly as now.

I won't win this argument with some of you, but it seems we should have learned from Clinton and those accusations.  But the GOP apparently hasn't.  They are not taking Dr. Ford's claim seriously, which you would think they would considering what we supposedly learned through the Clinton years.  I think you are trying to make the point that if the shoe were on the other foot, if the SCOTUS nominee were liberal, the Dems would be reacting the exact same way as the Rs are now.   You base this on the continued support of HRC, who you feel was an enabler of her husband in his assault cases.   I can see that argument. 

But first I don't think the Dems would try to float someone as sketchy as BK, and secondly, if they did, I think a fair amount of us would not support that nominee more than we support BK.

Well...I do.

But as for this subject, I feel the same way about male accusers (see Catholic Church and Sandusky scandals). Allegations need to be treated seriously and investigated thoroughly, for the sake of ALL involved (accuser AND accused). But I freely admit to having an overdeveloped sense of justice.
