<<That sort of liberalism struggled to take its final breath about 30 years ago. It is long dead.>>

When you provide protected status to people, who would otherwise be considered less competent (less able to compete) you give them the illusion of invincible power. In the recesses of their collective minds they form the need to develop institutionalized protective barriers to being exposed as incompetent. Therein lies an element of the irrational defensiveness of the icon "bill clinton." This was not the intent of equal opportunity efforts 30 years ago but it is certainly the outcome.

Yes thirty years ago liberals stood up for the powerless. Following that, jargon like empowerment came into vogue and raising self-esteem was a big issue. Now we have empowered the less than competent with fragile self-esteem. Analysis of performance, once thought to be the vehicle of self as well as organizational improvement, is forbidden by the doctrine of the liberal. They are tribal and they know how to protect their own. If you come from their camp then the protected status applies, if you don't, as in the case of Clarence Thomas, then you are not afforded protected status. They have taken the "judge not lest ye be judged" principle and corrupted it. Of course we have no business judging one another's souls, but behavior and performance is an entirely different matter.

I am troubling you again because Larry Nichols and I have stumbled across an
approach that just may succeed in taking Bill Clinton to the wall. Rush
Limbaugh was crying out yesterday for a solution like this. Here it is:

Larry and I have done a lot of interviews in the past two weeks regarding our
writ of mandamus effort to discredit the Senate verdict. Our problem has
proven to be this: the inability to find a Washington, D.C. lawyer willing to
litigate the writ of mandamus in federal court in Washington. That is a
requirement of that approach. No one wants to do it, and federal procedural
rules require it. Our heart has been in the right place, but we have run
into obstacles. But just like a successful football coach makes adjustments
at halftime, we have an adjustment here that can win the game. Please read
this, because you will be convinced.

The Arkansas Model Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys are very clear
that a single incident of rape, let alone a serial pattern of sexual
misconduct, proves a lawyer unfit to practice law. The decisions on this are
vastly on our side. There is no statute of limitations on the rapes when it
comes to a Bar grievance, and other victims can be subpoenaed.

The latest polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans who saw
Juanita Broaddrick's "Dateline" interview on NBC believe her. Oh, yes, there
are the CNN and other bogus polls that say a majority do not believe her, but
these polls included people who either did not see the broadcast and/or did
not even know of the rape allegation!

The Arkansas Bar must, absolutely must, proceed against Bill Clinton, because
of the credible evidence that Juanita [Hickey] Broaddrick was raped. If the
Bar does not proceed, then we go for a writ of mandamus ordering the Bar to
proceed, and sworn testimony can be compelled from the President even at that
early phase. This is what we want: to put this pathological liar under oath
again and see if he will perjure himself again about sex with a woman, in this
instance a rape. The target here is Bill Clinton, not the Senate, and it is a
big, fat target. It is the right target.

Bill Clinton might decide to surrender his law license, just as Richard Nixon
did in 1976, rather than put up a fight, but those of you too young to
remember forget what a bludgeon that disbarment was in the hands of the
liberal elites. Disbarment may be the only sanction anyone ever secures
against this sicko.

The media is interested. Larry and I have already had an encouraging response
from the media: ABC contacted me about the Arkansas Bar proceedings. Chris
Ruddy's NewsMax.com is currently reporting it at "Clinton Scandals," and Larry
and I are making the radio talk show rounds ginning up listeners to send their
own separate grievances to the Arkansas Bar. The Bar is receiving more
grievances. Make the trickle a torrent.

Here is what you can do. Send the following two sentence grievance (use your
own words if you like) to the Arkansas Bar:

"This is my Bar grievance against Bill Clinton. His rape of Juanita
Broaddrick proves he is unfit to hold a law license." That's it. Send your
grievance, along with your name, address, and phone number to:

James Neal
Committee on Professional Conduct
Justice Building, Room 2200
625 Marshall Street
Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 FAX to 501-374-1853

If you do that, you will help this country. Lots of grievances will
tactically strengthen our hand in the writ of mandamus action, as it will show
public outrage that the Arkansas Bar puts its "favorite perverted son" ahead
of justice.

If you send your grievance in today, you will be in good company. The
Southeastern Legal Foundation, which so ably has represented the heroic former
FBI Agent Gary Aldrich (Unlimited Access), filed its original grievance months
ago and just amended it to include the rape grounds. Matt Glavin at SLF told
me this yesterday.

We're taking Bill Clinton to the wall on this one. It may be our last but
best chance.

The Washington Times published my letter to the editor twenty months ago that
nothing substantive would ever come out of Ken Starr's office to clean up the
mess in the White House. I stand by that. You know why we have a better shot
than Starr? Because we common citizens bring a sense of moral outrage to this
that academic, hyper-fastidious lawyers can't muster.

And if you think this is just a vendetta by conservatives against a Democrat
President, think again. The New York Post today reports a book about to be
published that Israel's Mossad had tape recordings of the phone sex between
Monica and Bill and used the tapes to blackmail Clinton and our security
people into not rooting out a Mossad agent deep in the White House. Starr
knew this and did nothing. Is our Bar grievance gambit "just about sex?" No,
it is about the physical safety of our children. I have a six-year-old boy.
I want to take out Bill Clinton, by all legal and proper means, to make it
more likely that he himself might live to have a family.

Let's disbar Bill Clinton. If we prove what we think we can prove in that
proceeding, then he's toast. We'll then break out the marmalade. The drinks
will be on me.

Jack Thompson, Attorney
