 Liberals’ Sudden Concern About Bill Clinton’s Behavior Is Cynical And Self-Serving
It takes no courage to retroactively condemn the former president.

In the past few days a number of notable liberals have decided to take allegations of sexual assault against former president Bill Clinton seriously. Let’s just say that discarding the Clintons when they’re no longer politically useful to retroactively grab the higher moral ground isn’t exactly an act of heroism. But if we’re going to re-litigate history, let’s get it right.

“That so many women have summoned the courage to make public their allegations against Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Roger Ailes, and Bill O’Reilly—or that many have come to reconsider some of the claims made against Bill Clinton—represents a cultural passage,” says David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker (my italics). It takes plenty of courage to face powerful men with sexual assault allegations. But how much courage needs to be summoned to “reconsider” Bill Clinton’s behavior now, more than 20 years after we first learned about it? Zero. Democrats pay no political price for going after the former president, nor will Clinton face any consequences.

This writer implies the cases against Moore and Clinton are equivelant.

Since so many in the media, including some not necessarily considered progressive wackos, are referring to Moore as if he is a proven pervert, can anyone summarize exactly what it is we know for certain about his 'predatory' behavior?

I'm open to changing my mind about him but, unlike Clinton, so far haven't heard anything other than ancient & uncorroberated hearsay, some by 'victims' with little credibility, and very suspiciously timed.
