We could do the same thing regarding the women in the Cosby case. Why were they around him in the first place, because he was a celebrity? Hoping to advance their careers? Did THEY contact him eg?
None of that matters to me What matters is EVIDENCE. Clearly you have accepted Wiley's apparent infatuation with Clinton as proof she was not telling the truth.
I take it as meaningless. Where was her EVIDENCE of the actual claims she made? THAT is all that is important and there was none, just allegations, so I dismissed them.
None of my suppositions about the Cosby accusers matter either, they are meaningless. Where is the EVIDENCE of the actual claims they are making?? I have not seen any, I have seen words, accusations, but NO EVIDENCE.
As I said, the hypocrisy is simply stunning because both these cases are almost identical wrt to the core issue, women making allegations against famous men, period. All that matters should be 'are they true, can they be proven'. So far in both cases, the answer appears to be 'no'.
Consistency is everything. Standards should not change depending on the accused. Same standard 'Show me the evidence', period. The danger of publicly convicting anyone, based only on allegations, should not escape anyone at least on the Left who supposedly are smarter and not as easily swayed, as those on the Right.
Because when we are told that because several people have 'come forward' so there is no need for an actual, fact finding trial, I am not going to accept that, no matter who the accused happens to be.
You are entitled to deny or accept whatever you wish, I have the same standard for all allegations.
