Hillary Clinton – Spouse-Beater?
By Mitch Berg
Paul Mirengoff at Powerline on former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne’s book on life in the Clinton White House; I’ve added some emphasis:
Secret Service agents are, of course, charged with protecting the physical well-being of the president. Byrne says they had discussions about the possibility of having to protect Bill Clinton from Hillary’s physical attacks. He recalls that the couple had one “violent encounter” the morning of a key presidential address to the nation.
Byrne also remembers arriving for work one day in 1995 following a loud fight between the Clintons the night before. He says the dustup resulted in light blue vase “smashed to bits” and left Bill with a “real, live, put-a-steak-on-it black eye.”
Don’t let anyone tell you that Hillary isn’t a fighter.
Mirengoff also adds, after noting the many, er, social provocations Bill presented her during those years:
For Hillary, her options regarding Bill may have seemed like “fight or flight.” Flight, apparently, was out of the question, given her ambitions.
But if it were the other way around (and the subjects weren’t the Clintons), if a husband found a wife in flagrant delicto and decided to take “direct action” against her? Society has a term for that; “domestic abuser”. It doesn’t matter if one’s wife is sleeping with the entire staff at Jiffy Lube, in your bed, without changing the sheets after; you call a lawyer (and an STD test provider); you don’t hit her.
That there’s a double standard for women is obvious; that there’s a triple standard for Hillary is – assuming the accuracy of Byrne’s account – a new one.
And it should be damning – but for Democrats, it won’t be.

White female privilege.

More specifically, Hillary privilege. Any other white female would be rotting in jail by now for how she handled security while at SoS.

You know, if I were a juror empaneled to try Hilliary for beating the living **** out of Bill, I’d have trouble convicting. The thing I hold against her is not that she tried to kill him, but that she didn’t go through with it.
Really, when you get right down to it, she’s put feminism back at least 50 years by refusing to divorce him and covering up for his shenanigans with various “bimbo eruption” teams.

Bubba, if Bill had bruised his knuckles punching her in the nose, I’d have convicted her of spousal abuse.

bb;
The problem is that none of the women that support her seem to care. Just proves that crimes are only crimes if certain people commit them. Libidiots can get away with anything.

Sorry. Should have read don’t seem to care.

So the Democrats hate Citizens United…saying people and companies can’t pool money for political speech. As of this morning, I agree. Any walk by a news stand and see this morning’s Red Star Tribune? Front page, above the fold is one big free Hillary ad. The gov’t should shut them down!

She stood by her man even after he raped Juanita Broaddrick. Now that is loyalty.

Now that is loyalty.
A whore is loyal to whomever pays the most, as long as they keep on paying.

Hillary’s standard line:
“write down what you want me to say on the back of a $100 bill and I’ll try to say it like I mean it”
