As for Bill Clinton, you do realize not one single allegation of unwanted advances was ever witnessed or proven in another way and that most were in fact substantially disproven by witness accounts?

The alleged rape can't be disproven, but after reading all that is known, and realizing that her story was full of holes and raised a bunch of questions, only partisan malice could overcome doubt that this woman should be believed.

The nasty right-wing billionaires who fund vast lie machines don't exist on the left. The left has no counterpart to the vicious lies right-wing radio broadcasts by the thousands every day. Nor do we have the vast crowds of people eager to believe slanders in order to overset a democracy they only support when it elects their choices. Oh, sure, we see some of that here, all right, but it's nothing to the appetite for malicious partisan lies on the right.
