"I do not support Bill's behavior"

Excellent. I am glad to hear that as my disappointment in many women (especially politicians like Barbara Boxer) and women's groups (like NOW) is genuine.

"nor does anything in my posts suggest that"

If that was true then I would not have posted. I'll take your word that you did not mean to imply any support. These comments are what lead me to believe you did support his "activities":

"LOL aha!!!! The reason no one thought to pursue the Fawn/Ollie thing is his criminal activity eclipsed his sexploits. Starr could get nothing else on Clinton."

"BTW, excuse me for noticing, but I think you're fixated on mr. bill. I'm beginning to wonder if he broke your heart somehow. hmmm."

The first quote indicates that the matters with Clinton are trivial to you, and only important to Starr for political reasons. The second is a common liberal strategy to attack the one who is offended as opposed to the one who did the offending. Nowhere did I see where you agreed with the poster (maybe I should have gone further back).

Those are the reasons that I mis-judged your offense at Clinton's despicable actions.

"I always thought it was ludicrous for people to vilify Packwood and yet support Clinton"

I think both cases deserved attention IF the sexual harassement focus of recent years is legit. The demos response to Clinton's exploits leads me to believe it is a hollow charade developed by demos to attack their opponents when they cannot do it with the issues. And if you truly are offended by the hypocricy, don't support the people that acted that way. If memory serves, the repubs eventually agreed that Packwood was a pig. The demos have not and imo won't do that with Bill.

All imho.
