    Many mainstream sites are now running articles saying they believe he is a rapist

    It's a no-brainer, frankly. After 30 years of covering up, whitewashing and obfuscating his crimes they are now throwing useless Clintons under the bus in an attempt to reclaim moral superiority which they realize they need to relentlessly attack this administration. It's not fooling a single person on the planet but I can't blame them for trying either, the media have been exposed as liars, hypocrites and biased two-faced political hacks and they are out of options.

    You can't call anyone else that without throwing him under the bus.

    But Hillary said they were bimbos searching for money and fame. Hillary said women aren't to be believed when they cry about sexual abuse.

    Well, if anything your post is proof that tone doesn't travel well on da internetz. I personally didn't believe that the press would turn on Bubba and so I was asking for proof. To a lesser extent, I was also posting before the lock as the thread didn't meet forum requirements since it should have had a link, and this will likely be locked today. Nevertheless, Mello did provide links and it appears that you might be more disappointed than I.

    Also, I posted that at 9:14 PM PST. Dinner was hours past for me when I wrote that.

    Do you suppose that they've known this all along, and are now being faced with having to acknowledge that they've known so that they have some shred of credibility with the public? This is frankly the comeuppance that so many on the left have feared one day would happen to them. After their record of aggressively protecting their worst monsters, the left as a whole had to understand that their ability to shield themselves from scrutiny by placing their operatives in the media would someday end. And this is it.

    The hysteria over the PC they themselves created is now the backlash they must endure. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of miscreants.

    Left-wing Democrats are currently acting outraged over Roy Moore when arguably the biggest sexual predator to ever inhabit the White House is currently the elder statesman of the Democratic Party. And you’re seriously asking why this is happening ? You must be a left-wing Democrat

    Yep. The Clintons are now politically worthless, and are actually dead weight for the Democrat Party, which is great because Hillary still thinks in her mind that she is owed the White House.

    Why other reason does she have for not going away?

    Yep, absolutely. Not only that, but this guarantees that Hillary Clinton will never again be in politics. I believe the media finally realized her excuse tour where she came up with dozens of reasons why she lost (with none of them being her) was dragging the party down and became a total embarrassment. Now that they're piling on her she doesn't have a friendly venue for interviews which takes her out of the public's eye and hopefully forgotten about in 2020. Having her around in politics during the next election would have been campaign fodder for the GOP, but the left can now claim to have seen the error of their ways and moved on.

    There's also a social justice component here as women have moved to the top of the victimhood pyramid for the time being and the right has frequently mentioned Bubba when the Moore story arises. Can't bash Moore when you're giving the Clintons a pass.

    Now I'd like to see one of the left wing media outlets to a complete expose on all the victims of Clinton, including what happened in England which got him expelled from college.

    Eventually, the left always eat their own. The left having always known how disgusting the Clintons truly are, see things are about to come out and prove what we all knew, so they need to get in front of it to pretend they are against it. Don't fret though, they are still the same ol party of racists and sexual predators they have always been.

    Ever see a dog lick its ass after licking a democrat? It's trying to get the taste out of its mouth.

    The Clintons are politically dead so no need to defend them. Rather, NOW, to use them against Roy Moore.

    Did Bill Clinton have accusers come forward? Was he ever in the situation that Roy Moore is in now? Or is this just happening now? Because if he did assault women and it was known but covered up and ignored, then that would be appalling and hypocritical, for sure. Otherwise, you can't expect the media to have covered facts that had not come to light at the time.

    The talk about Bill Clinton had been going on back to his days as governor.

    With accusers coming forward? Was there anything meaningful, anything comparable to the accusations against Moore? Anything as substantive as the Lewinsky scandal?

    Clinton and Trump are both rapists.
