"Those who continue to defend or minimize such conduct are no better....

Interestingly, I have found some clinton followers who are better than he. Suma, for example, has come completely clean on clinton's failures. She is loyal (some would say to a fault). I don't consider loyalty, in and of itself, to be a fault.

A family dog is loyal because it is incapable of judging its master's treatment of other humans. We don't fault the family dog for this. We expect more of human beings. When patriotism to a political perspective outweighs principle and decent human conduct, then yes we should fault the individual. But some people are loyal while accepting responsibility for the failures of their friends.

I am giving Suma a pass on this one and I was pretty hard on her before coming to that conclusion. She, however, did not defend or minimize the conduct of clinton... she just insisted that she loves him anyway.
