Sunday May 20, 2001; 3:08 p.m. EDT Juanita Broaddrick: Dan Rather's Comments 'Sickened Me' Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick said Friday that she was "sickened" by the nationally televised comments of CBS News anchorman Dan Rather suggesting her assault claim was a private matter that shouldn't have been reported. "It really sickens me to think that Mr. Rather would think what happened to me should be relegated to the category of Bill Clinton's private sex life," Broaddrick wrote in answer to a request for comment by a member of the Free Republic website. "I have to live with the fact that I did not come forward 23 years ago," she explained about the episode that ultimately persuaded the House of Representatives to impeach Clinton in 1998. "But it becomes more difficult when someone such as Dan Rather makes such frivolous statements about the most horrific event of my life." In an interview Tuesday with Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, Rather said that he "barely remembered" the Clinton rape allegation, despite the key role it played in the first impeachment of an elected president in American history. "When the charge has something to do with somebody's private sex life, I would prefer not to run any of it," the multi-million-dollar newsman said. After O'Reilly refreshed his memory on the case, Rather accused the Arkansas nursing home operator of being a member of an organized conspiracy to destroy Clinton. "Just stop right there," the anchorman interrupted. "Let's see -- what you've got is, you have the Republicans trying to bring down Bill Clinton.... Sure, I think it was an organized campaign." Broaddrick said she was mystified by Rather's remarks and suggested he may need professional help. "I am wondering how he would feel if this happened to his daughter or wife. I am also wondering if his family has thought about having him tested for Alzheimers or some other chronic brain syndrome disease. He apparently has something very wrong with his reasoning."
