I honestly had no idea there was so much corroborating evidence supporting Juanita Broaddr

quote:

---

Broaddrick’s initial denials indicate only that she shunned publicity. That’s why she never reported the rape; rebuffed advances from Clinton’s political enemies who, in 1992, urged her to go public; and lied to Paula Jones’ lawyers. She eventually told the FBI the truth in 1998 only because her son–a lawyer–advised her against lying to federal investigators...Five people say Broaddrick told them about the rape immediately after it occurred. A friend and co-worker named Norma Kelsey says that, 21 years ago, she found a dazed Broaddrick with bloodied lip and torn pantyhose in their shared hotel room and Broaddrick explained that Clinton had just raped her. (Clinton is supposed to have bitten her on the lip just before raping her.) Her current husband–then her lover–says Broaddrick told him about the rape within a few days of the event...

Broaddrick did not remember the date of the rape, though she did supply the name of the hotel (Camelot) and the reason she was visiting Little Rock (a nursing home seminar). She also says that Clinton pointed to a ramshackle prison outside the hotel room window before he raped her and said he planned to renovate it. NBC News found a date when a nursing home seminar was held in the Camelot Hotel and records show that Broaddrick attended. Newspaper reports suggest that Clinton was in the area and had no official commitments in the early morning, when the rape is supposed to have occurred. There was a prison outside the hotel window.

How is this man still vibrantly a public figure?

This is some powerful detail that proved to be true. (the part about the prison is really really compelling)

The past is the past, I get that....but it bothers me that bill clinton will go the grave with a very large segment of the population viewing him as one of the greatest leaders in our nation's history.

I remember a couple of years ago someone started a thread on here asking posters who their "contemporary political hero" was. The overwhelming majority of democratic posters on this board cited Bill Clinton.
