>Unfortunately, it seems like "sexual accusation" is going to be the weapon of choice of the right wing fringe of the Republican Party.<

Perhaps, seeing as in the not too distant past those of the left have oft used it with no little effectiveness. Nevertheless I would hardly claim those who have accused your man of sexual impropriety uniformly amongst “the right wing fringe of the Republican Party.” The lion's share of them seem to be Democrats.

>This will backfire on the religious radicals. They can only cry wolf so many times.<

Laughable. Arguably Jones received support from, amongst many others, some who are inclined toward religion. But I can hardly see how the veritable hoards of women who have come forth against Clinton have been pawns of “religious radicals”. No, my friend. You accredit more power to these “radicals” than they are capable of wielding. The President's accusers are, perhaps to the woman, Democrats; and that they are Democrats lends credibility to their claims.

Clinton supporters seem to me the true “religious radicals” in this debacle, and they exhibit a most reprehensible aspect of their leader's character. They consistently desire to blame everyone but the real culprit for their man's problems. Everyone is to blame for every negative in connection with Bill Clinton except Bill Clinton.

Now should they exit the ashram of Clintonanity they will see the truth: that the power to seriously impugn the character of Bill Clinton comes neither from your “religious radicals”, nor from Republicans. They will see it comes not even from Clinton's harem of female accusers. They will see that the real power to seriously impugn Bill Clinton's character comes from none other than Bill Clinton himself.
