In December of 1999, Katherine Prudhomme created an uncomfortable moment for Al Gore in New Hampshire, one the liberal media never would have dreamed of creating: she asked him about Juanita Broaddick's claim that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978 at a Little Rock hotel. The video from WNDS-TV showed Gore claiming he never watched the Broaddrick interview, and he had no opinion on it. Embarrassing. Along with posting the video, Brent Baker reported only Fox News (and a day later, the Brian Williams show on MSNBC) showed it, while the nets stayed away.
Now, Prudhomme reports on Free Republic (h/t Doug from Upland) that she just tried on Friday to confront Hillary Clinton on the same Broaddrick question at an event in Nashua, and Hillary claimed "I don't know anything about that" and "I don't know what you're talking about." Prudhomme says she was carrying a certified-mail receipt that she's sent the Broaddrick interview on tape to Hillary's office. Since this alleged exchange apparently happened off-mike, it probably won't carry the same delicious video. Will the media follow up on this, or will their usual severe allergy to the Broaddrick issue continue? This is her account of the event:
I was not too far from the former President so I called out to him but he didn’t see me. Hillary came up next and I held out an old light green colored postcard towards her as others were holding tickets, baseballs and stuff like that.
She took my postcard, signed it and asked "Whose is this?" I said it was mine and asked her if she believed Juanita Broaddrick. "Who is that?" she asked.
I replied "The woman who said she was raped by Bill Clinton in 1978."
"I don’t know anything about that" Ms. Rodham Clinton said, still holding my card.
"I sent you a videotape of the interview she gave to Dateline NBC and I’m sure you have received it, I sent it by certified mail and that’s the receipt showing your office got it that your holding."
At some point around this time someone behind her asked my name so I told them what it was.
She gave the receipt back to me.I asked her again if she believed Juanita Broaddrick.
"I don’t know what your talking about." she then started going back towards the direction she had come from, away from her husband.
I had to yell so she would hear me over the music as I asserted "That’s not true!" and went on to ask her "Why are you doing this? You’ve always been so good to rape survivors."
I was thinking about how she started Arkansas’ first rape crisis hotline and helped start its first rape crisis center. I would have loved her way back then for that.
The people around me suddenly discovered they did not like me and began making vehement requests to have someone get me out of there.
A well groomed, handsome man in a suit with one of those clear, curly wires in his ear, a Secret Service agent perhaps, grabbed both my arms above the elbow and began pushing me backwards and telling me I had to leave.
So I did. Well, I began to.
An enthusiastic, yet clueless young campaign worker invited me to take a sign up card thing so I could get campaign updates.
I declined her offer by muttering a swear phrase that encourages people to go have fun with themselves but I don’t think she heard me.
As I passed the media stage I thought I’d at least talk to some media folks and tell them my side of the story. I had printed it up on a sheet of paper I could give them.
About four guys in suits with wires in their ears were joined by an equal number of Nashua Police officers who told me I couldn’t do that. So I began to leave again.
All eight of them were kind enough to escort me toward the gate. Who says chivalry is dead?
As officers of the law, I will obey them but I couldn’t see why I was such a threat. I’m 130 or so pounds soaking wet, I was wearing a dress and heels and so upset and humiliated I’m was trying hard not to cry and not always being successful.This was a very hard thing for me to do. I try to be polite but I also know that I must be bold and assertive as well to get the answers I want. I know my intentions are pure and this gives me confidence. At that moment, knowing my intentions were honorable, this caused me to be very angry too. I declared that the event was a sham. To me it was. If a candidate wants to earn the right of having said they were vetted by the tough, hard question asking New Hampshire citizenry, then I respond that she must earn that right. Hillary is not doing that, walking away from tough questions and not being brave enough to take random ones that a whole crowd can hear. Does she think were stupid?

July 16, 2007 - 11:25 ET by ErgoDyneYes, she does think we're stupid. Hillary has framed her entire campaign around the idea that the people can't think for themselves and must be led by the government, because, as we already know, "the government knows best".
She's a scary, ridiculous, convictionless excuse for a person or a politician. She's can't think for herself and assumes that everyone is just like her and that we need the government to step in.
BAH!
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

What is your first instinct to do when you don't know what to do? Run of course... away from your husband that you KNOW raped that girl, that you KNOW had illicit affairs, and that drove American values down. Then you have your bodyguards escort the "troublemaker" out. Simple enough when you are a liberal or democrat. Now if a republican leader had been asked something about that, media, and would of DEMANDED that they answer the question, plus been flanking the person while being escorted out.

They do this for all democrats to one degree or another.
This is why Clinton skated, whereas Packwood was sent packing, and why Mr. Chappaquiddick is still in office and not in jail, whereas a GOP Senator in a similar situation, or even far lees egregious of one, would be finished.

While in their 1/2 hour news shows only report on the stuff you don't like. And hey, since it's not agreeable information they must be making it up and lying to us. Or, just reporting what they like and skewing the facts to decieve the public. It's all about manipulating things so NB bloggers have a lot to complain about.

This is Hillary Rodham's open sore -- and well deserving of a SWIFT TORTING.
16 years as a partner for a woman who failed her Washington D.C. bar exam, for a firm which made lots of fees from the state of Arkansas
And if acolytes of Hillary start up trying to smear Fred Thompson by constant reference to lobbying clients from his past law firm, she better watch out.
For instance, she might have to explain how come she had so many welthy corporate clients like Coca Cola who she represented in litigation against poor individuals, like employees?
Or how did she become partner in a firm with so many contracts with Arkansas state. You know, when her husband was Governor?

Maybe we should wait for the real debates and ask Shrillary then. Yeah, that's it!
Just to add to the concensus,
July 16, 2007 - 12:38 ET by BeowulfJust to add to the concensus, yes she thinks we're stupid. And to elaborate on Ergo's response, it's not just her campaign, it defines her entire political philosophy. Hers and the entire Deomcrat leadership. Why do you think their true deep beliefs, which often leak out into public view, are so socialistic?
The defining single driving philosophy of the Lib/Lefty Dem leaders is that people are far too stupid to make their own decisions, so they will make them for us. Everything from morals, to school, to medical care, to the price of gas at the pumps. How we should run private business, who we should hire, who should have to work and who should receive a share of the money of those who work. They even think they should decide unilaterally who should be allowed to vote. They define what is moral and what is not. They define what is biased and what is not. They define what is corrupt and what is not. They define what is important and what is not (which should be the scariest thing of all).
Why do you think they so hate thinking conservatives? Why do they so hate talk radio? Why do they so hate the military? These are all stumbling blocks to the fulfillment of their utopian dream of making all of our decisions for us.
Look at the Lib/Lefty stronghold of San Francisco. Populated exclusively by sheeple. Every decision made for them. Anything the ruling party decides is "bad" is banned to everyone. No one has a voice but the ruling elite. The Dems would have this situation prevail nationwide. And it's already started, with Pelosi and the other dems in positions of power. All that is lacking is another President Clinton and a slightly firmer majority in congress. Then it'll be time to give up our freedoms and spread our wealth. After all, who needs money or freedom in Utopia?

July 16, 2007 - 13:52 ET by Agnostic frontBeo,
Are you saying that people (in general, obviously not here in Newsbusters) are not stupid? Poll after poll demonstrates how ignorant and idiotic the vast majority of citizens are here in America. I just saw a recent poll where over half the people didn't know that Judaism was older than Christianity. And I be willing to bet that of the people who didn't know, they were all Christians.
In many ways, yes
July 17, 2007 - 07:52 ET by BeowulfIn many ways, yes people, as a whole, are rather stupid. But don't go referencing polls to me. Polls are some of the most meaningless trivial BS tripe to be found. Polls are so manipulated that one can get pretty much any predetermined concensus one wishes. And those that don't actually manipulate polls simply cherry-pick the results to make them seem to say what they want.
If you want to see how stupid people are, then instead of the critters unilaterally deciding issues like the recent immigration bill, put the issue up for a national vote. If the critters are so confident, then let the people decide if they want it instead of the "we'll decide for you" game they played. Or do the same for gun control. Go city by city and have the citizens actually vote up or down on the issue.
It'll never happen because the lefties know the public would never support such legislation.
And lastly, how the hell did this get turned into a religious debate. This has absolutely nothing to do with religion. I'm talking about social, economic, and political issues here. Leave religion to it's own topic.

Jesus was a Jew. Every Christian knows that. Every Christian knows that the law handed down to Moses preceded the ministry of Jesus. Every Christian knows that Jesus studied the Old Testament and routinely quoted from the scriptures. Every Christian knows that Jesus came to fullfill the law.

July 16, 2007 - 15:55 ET by Del DolemonteDid you actually bother to read Prudhomme's account? She doesn't come across as "seemingly unstable"-except to someone who supports the Clintons. In fact she comes across as very articulate. Remember, the Clinton Bimbo Squad has been around for over 15 years now, and one of their favorite tactics is to paint accusers of Bill with the word "unstable" or something similar ("trailer trash" comes to mind).
As for the rape charge being "undocumented", it was in fact "documented" in Ken Starr's investigation. Ms. Broaddrick was identified as "Jane Doe No. 5".

Hillary: Co-President, Co-Governor, Co-Rapist
July 16, 2007 - 20:48 ET by Robert MorrowBill’s 1978 rape of Juanita Broaddrick
Bill bites lips when he is in rape mode
On April 25, 1978, Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton, the state’s highest law enforcement official, raped Juanita Broaddrick (without a condom), and while doing so he savagely bit her top lip to subdue her. Juanita was a county coordinator for Bill and a volunteer in his ’78 gubernatorial campaign. Juanita says she will never forget Bill putting his sunglasses on afterwards then telling her to put some ice on her mangled lips. Bill: “You might want to put some ice on that.” Bill, the Rhodes Scholar Rapist, then told Juanita don’t worry about getting pregnant because I had the mumps as a kid and I am sterile. [What makes all this even more sicko is that Bill had recently impregnated Gennifer Flowers and gave her $200 to get an abortion in January, 1978; then 3 months later Bill rapes Juanita and tells her is sterile. Full-blown sociopath.]
Juanita’s friend Norma Rogers-Kelsay found here in her hotel room after the rape. Juanita says “I was sitting there crying and so upset at the time … I felt like the next person coming through the door [was coming] to get rid of [my] body. I absolutely could not believe what had happened to me.” Reporter Jon Doughtery says Kelsay “found Broaddrick in a state of shock, her lip swollen, mouth bruised, and her pantyhose torn at the crotch.” Kelsay told Fox news on 2/2/99 that Juanita “was hysterical – her lip was blue and bleeding and her hose was severely torn in the crotch area.” Kelsay says Juanita “told me they had intercourse against her will.” Kelsay told NBC News that Juanita was in “quite bad shape” and her “lips were swollen, at least double in size.”
Bill raped Juanita twice within a span of 15 minutes. Bill bit her lip so hard he almost severed it in half. After Bill raped her, Juanita says “I felt paralyzed and started to cry.” Then Bill raped Juanita again as he found he could get a new erection. Juanita says:
“Then he said, “My God, I can do it again” and he did.”
Then Bill raped a stunned and in-shock Juanita for a second time, after Bill said ”My God, I can do it again.” 13 years later in March, 1991, just before Bill announced for President, he pulled Juanita out of a health care conference and Bill’s first words were, “Can you ever forgive me? … That was the old me. I’m not the same now. I’m a new man.” [Sellout, p. 131]
Juanita replied “You can just go to hell” and she walked away from the Rapist. [Sellout, p. 131] In 1998, when rape victim Juanita came public in 1998 she was 1) followed by a man in a car and 2) someone broke into her house and stole the tape to her answering machine and let all 3 of her cats out. [Limbacher, Hillary’s Scheme, p. 184]
It was the well used Clinton intimidation team.
Hillary covers for rapist Bill
and she brags about setting up Arkansas’ 1st rape crisis hotline
Doug from Upland, a poster on FreeRepublic, personally knows someone (probably Larry Nichols) who was in the room in 1978 with Buddy Young when Hillary came running in and said, “You will never believe what the motherfucker [Bill] did now, he tried to rape some bitch!”
Later at a political rally for Bill being held at someone’s house, Juanita attended it, still terrified to tell anyone publicly that Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton had raped her (twice, within 15 minutes). Juanita wrote in a public letter (10-15-00) to Hillary:
“Do you remember how you [Hillary] thanked me, saying “we want to thank you for everything that you do for Bill.” At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to walk off. Remember how you kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me?
You repeated your statement, but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many times on television in the last eight years. You said, "Everything you do for Bill". You then released your grip and I said nothing and left the gathering.
What did you mean, Hillary? Were you referring to my keeping quiet about the assault I had suffered at the hands of your husband only two weeks before? Were you warning me to continue to keep quiet?” - Juanita Broaddrick
Juanita said that she became physically ill within seconds of Hillary’s grasping behavior and had to leave the party/rally within minutes. Juanita says, “I could have passed out at that moment and I got my hand from hers [Hillary’s] and I left. She was just holding onto my hand. Because I had started to turn away from her and she held onto my hand and [Hillary] said ‘Do you understand? EVERYTHING that you do,’ cold chills went up my spine.” That’s the first time I became afraid of that woman.”
In other words, Hillary was telling Juanita to shut up about Bill’s savage rape of her. In 1998 when Juanita finally publicly said that Clinton had raped her – she had privately out cried to her husband and friends at the time in 1978 – she was audited for the first time EVER by the IRS, run by Hillary’s close friend from Yale Law School Margaret Milner Richardson. Additionally, Juanita’s home was broken into (and her three cats were let loose) just like Gennifer Flowers’ condo was illegally entered in 1992 and Juanita was under surveillance, too. So Juanita gets physically raped by Bill and then she gets financially raped by Hillary when she comes public. That’s Hillary: co-President, co-Governor, co-Rapist.
Juanita is not the only woman Bill has sexually terrorized. Have you ever had a boy dog jump up on your shin and start madly humping it like it thought your shin was a girl dog? That is how Hillary’s fake husband Bill courts women – like that dog madly humping your shin. He also likes to painfully bite girls’ lips. If a girl says “NO” 6 times in a row and finally can’t speak anymore because Bill is savagely biting and chewing her bottom lip, Bill thinks this means “yes.” Actually, he does not care.
Hillary as she campaigns in 2007 tells citizen Katherine Prudhomme-O’Brien, “Who is that?” when asked about Juanita. Hillary in typical character lies, “I don’t know what you are talking about” when asked about Juanita on 7-13-07 in Nashua, NH.
