TAMPA, Fla. ? Liberal contraception activist Sandra Fluke isn?t taking up Breitbart.com editor Dana Loesch?s challenge to a debate on women?s issues.
The conservative firebrand Loesch has been tweeting at Fluke and publicly challenging the liberal activist Thursday to a debate and discussion on the issues, but Fluke, who strolled through the Republican National Convention Thursday afternoon, has not responded. Loesch has even gone looking for Fluke, who appears to have disappeared after a series of media appearances at the convention center.
Fluke showed up at the RNC with Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, early Thursday afternoon and the two paraded around media outlets in the convention center pushing their message.
Loesch isn?t surprised that Fluke has not agreed to a debate.
?If Sandra Fluke is going to come here and talk about women?s issues, then why not talk to actual conservative women about women?s issues?? Loesch told The Daily Caller. ?I mean, that?s the whole point. You can?t just come here and hold a press conference and not take any questions. You can?t just go on MSNBC and say whatever you want. Is she an advocate or propagandist? Which one is she? If she?s an advocate, she?s completely willing to have a discussion on the issues. Democrats don?t speak for women. They don?t speak for me. I would like to hear why she thinks she speaks for all women because she obviously does not.?
?She hasn?t shown any desire to listen to what conservative women have to say and why they?re happy with the Republican Party and why they are voting for Republicans,? Loesch continued. ?She thinks that the Democrats have a patent on women?s issues? Here you have the Obama White House which has actual pay inequality and here you have the Obama White House which removed the sovereignty women have over their own body and then there?s this unelected board for Medicare that?s not regulated by HHS? Where is she on those issues if she?s such a women?s advocate.?
Because Fluke is ?not willing to engage on the issues,? Loesch said that ?signals to me that she?s not an advocate but she?s a propagandist.?

Sexual misconduct allegations against Bill Clinton


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search






Bill Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Before that, he was Governor of the state of Arkansas, and afterwards he has continued life in the public eye.[1] Throughout his career there have been several allegation of sexual misconduct levied against him, though he has only admitted extramarital relationships with Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers.[2]

[edit] Paula Jones

Paula Jones brought a sexual harassment lawsuit against Clinton while he was president. Clinton argued that as a sitting president, he should not be vulnerable to a civil suit of this nature. The case landed in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court held that "Deferral of this litigation until petitioner's Presidency ends is not constitutionally required."[3]

However, a U.S. judge in Arkansas, Susan Webber Wright, ruled that since Jones had not suffered any damages, the case should be dismissed.[4] On April 2, 1998, Judge Susan Webber Wright dismissed Jones' lawsuit.[5] On July 31, 1998, Jones appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.[6]

During the deposition for the Jones lawsuit, which was held at the White House,[7] Clinton denied having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky ? a denial that became the basis for the Lewinsky scandal and the president's subsequent impeachment charge of perjury.[8] On November 18, 1998, Clinton agreed to an out-of-court settlement, and agreed to pay Jones and her attorneys a sum of $850,000.[9] Clinton denies ever engaging in a sexual affair with her.[9]

[edit] Monica Lewinsky

Main article: Lewinsky scandal

In 1995, Monica Lewinsky, a graduate of Lewis & Clark College, was hired to work as an intern at the White House during Clinton's first term, and began a personal relationship with him, the details of which she later confided to her friend and Defense department co-worker Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded their telephone conversations.[10] When Tripp discovered in January 1998 that Lewinsky had signed an affidavit in the Paula Jones case denying a relationship with Clinton, she delivered the tapes to Kenneth Starr, the Independent Counsel who was investigating Clinton on other matters, including the Whitewater scandal, the White House FBI files controversy, and the White House travel office controversy. The news of this extra-marital affair and the resulting investigation eventually led to the impeachment of President Clinton in 1998 by the U.S. House of Representatives and his subsequent acquittal on all impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in a 21-day Senate trial.[11]

[edit] Other allegations

In 1992 nude model and actress Gennifer Flowers stated that she had a relationship with Clinton that began in 1980. [12] Flowers at first denied that she had an affair with Clinton, but later changed her story. [13][14] Clinton admitted that he had a sexual encounter with Flowers.[15]

In 1998, Kathleen Willey alleged Clinton groped her in a hallway in 1993. An independent counsel determined Willey gave "false information" to the FBI, inconsistent with sworn testimony related to the Jones allegation.[16]Willey dodged perjury charges after Kenneth Starr granted her immunity for her testimony.[16]

In 1998, Juanita Broaddrick alleged Clinton had raped her though she did not remember the exact date, which may have been 1978.[17] Broaddrick's only sworn testimony about Clinton was a previous denial of any harassment by Clinton.[18]

In 1998 Elizabeth Ward Gracen recanted a six-year-old denial and stated she had a one night stand with Clinton in 1982.[19] Gracen later apologized to Hillary Clinton.[19]

Dolly Kyle Browning began writing a "semi-autobiographical novel" about her alleged affair with Bill Clinton. In the publication process, Browning asserted that Clinton did everything in his power to prohibit and undermine publication. Browning sued Clinton for damages, but the US Court of Appeals denied her appeal.[20]
