“Why shouldn’t we believe Kathleen Willey?”

Well, she admitted to lying to the FBI, for one. Independent counsel Robert Ray concluded that her testimony in the Paula Jones case differed from her testimony to the grand jury. Given those facts, how can you continue to maintain she is credible?

Juanita Broaddrick has similar credibility issues, having signed a sworn affidavit denying the rumors of Clinton’s alleged assault were true. Crying on television is not an indication of someone’s credibility.

“you are showing yourself to be as heartless and immoral as the mainstream media. Isn’t rape one of the most horrific crimes there is? These are people’s lives here. This is not a game. Compassion and morality are in order.”

Oh, so I don’t believe someone who is an admitted liar and whose story has changed and now I’m somehow guilty of downplaying the seriousness of rape. That’s a nice rhetorical game. It is unfortunately true that false accusations of rape are made, especially against high profile celebrities. The media should tread very carefully in these situations.

Did you simply not know about Willey and Broaddrick’s credibility issues or does your ideological bias allow you to ignore them?
