"Where are all these people who claim they were assaulted by demonstrators?" North demanded to know. Indeed, let's go to the videotape, though none so far has materialized, before America takes too seriously the bloviations of political operatives like Begala about threats and inimidation. After all, Begala and his Democrat media cohort sat on their hands for eight years while one Clinton scandal witness after another came forward to allege apartment break-ins, beatings, death threats, politically inspired IRS audits -- and even an assassination attempt in which the FBI made an arrest. But when Clinton accusers Gennifer Flowers and Juanita Broaddrick complained that their homes had been broken into, Joe Lieberman kept his concerns about witness intimidation to himself. When Sexgate witness Kathleen Willey had her tires slashed, her cat killed and her children's lives threatened, Democrats who now complain about intimidation in Miami-Dade dismissed her as a kook. When Flowers, Broaddrick, Liz Ward Gracen, Billy Dale, Paula Jones and a whole host of conservative organizations said they were victims of politically motivated tax audits, not a peep was heard from the Democratic "Conscience of the Senate." Meanwhile Clinton operatives like Begala sallied forth to explain it was all "just a coincidence." And when Little Rock lawyer Gary Johnson said he was beaten to a pulp by thugs who confiscated a videotape linking Clinton to Flowers, the media laughed it off. Ditto a NewsMax.com report confirmed by Fox News that the FBI actually made an arrest in the 1999 attempted assassination of key Chinagate witness Johnny Chung.newsmax.com
