Sex, Lies and the Angry Left

by James Taranto Saturday, Oct. 04, 2003 at 4:40 PM

It was OK for Clinton hit on young women recently, and to lie because that was 'only about sex.' But it's terrible for Arnold to have hit on young women 30 years ago, and to have been truthful about it.



You just have to laugh at the Angry Left. How can these people expect anyone to take them seriously when they publish books with titles like "The Big Lies of George W. Bush and the Big Lying Liars of George W. Bush Who Tell Them?"--and their hero is Bill Clinton? Reasonable people can disagree with Bush policies, of course, but constantly calling him a "liar" serves only to remind people of how honest he is compared with his predecessor.

That's not all, folks. Clinton's lies, the nascent Angry Left told us at the time, were excusable because they were "about sex." A state employee accuses him of dropping his trousers, a campaign volunteer charges him with groping her in the Oval Office, a nursing-home operator says he raped her in the 1970s--those are all just "personal peccadilloes." It's time to move on!

In fact, there was a Web site called MoveOn.org set up in 1998 to oppose impeachment, which has remained in operation and turned into a center of Angry Left activity. So what are the folks at MoveOn up to these days? For one thing, they're beating the BUSH LIED!!!! drum, using a witless adjunct site called Misleader.org. Then there's this: "We're asking you to help fund a television ad devoted to putting [Arnold] Schwarzenegger's problem with women into the public eye. We need to raise at least $500,000 to make this happen."

The Drudge Report reproduces a MoveOn.org news release announcing a press conference this morning in Los Angeles, featuring MoveOn co-founder Joan Blades, former candidate and "Green Acres" star Arianna Huffington and an unnamed "woman cited in the Los Angeles Times article" on Schwarzenegger's past boorishness.

So let's see if we have this straight. Bush is bad because he "lies." Schwarzenegger is bad because he (admittedly) treated women in an offensive way. But Clinton's behavior was no big deal because he lied about offensive treatment of women. Does MoveOn really mean to assert as its guiding principle that it's acceptable to molest and even assault women if and only if you lie about it?

its molestation, this is how far we have regressed

Excuse me, but these allegations are molestation. A women is not to be touched until married, but many break this, and if it is okay then the man can touch her parts. You should know this!! Think about all the men who think this is okay, and how women have to endure this. If a boy in school did this he would be in huge trouble, where he is still young and learning. Arnold is an old man! He should be expelled. He is causing much pain for many for his own ego. Tom may win if he steps down, thus its not just for the Republicans. In the state of California this type of behavior is actually called legally a sickness.

This is the same cut'n'paste spam shat by Ffutal earlier...

...he hasn't been "truthful"...he denied it in the past...which, in case you don't know....he now admits was a lie....

...and he wans't "hitting" on women, it is called sexual battery, and it is a crime,

>Clinton - LIAR - Lied about a consentual sexual liason.

To KPC, the following represents "consentual" sexual advances:

- A state employee accuses him of dropping his trousers

- A campaign volunteer charges him with groping her in the Oval Office

-A nursing-home operator says he raped her in the 1970s

So, that's OK.

Hey Arnold!! If you drop your pants, grope women, and committ rape, but you got a (D) by your name, it's OK with KPC.

....fucking pathetic....

He wasn't impeached for any of those allegations, none of which have ever been proved. He was impeached for lying about a consentual sexual relationship.

...Arnold Termingroper, on the other hand

- Has admitted to the crime of sexual battery after intitially lying about it

- Has made comments about his admiration for Adolph Hitler..

...and shitheals like you want to look the other way...

I dunno...Ummm "The Angry Left"? I guess so...if, of course, you consider Democrats 'the Left'...I would put them in the 'republicrats' section of the shopping mart...to me, there is no real 'left' left in America. Well, no UNIFIED left at least...
