I'm not a Hillary or Trump supporter, but everyone attacking Hillary for defending a rapist infuriates me. These people are the same people who say "innocent until proven guilty" whenever someone is accused of rape. And I completely agree with that. But now are they saying this one man isn't entitled to a fair trial? Should they have violated his civil rights and denied him an attorney?
shareFunny thing is that Faux News debunked the claim she defended a rapist and mocked the victim but afterward the talking head says, "She should be ashamed."
shareNo one ever suggested the rapist didn't deserve a lawyer and a fair trial. What they attacked Hillary for was the fact that she found the whole situation funny.
shareExcept, she didn't

That article is 1200 words long, and there are a hundred other articles just like it from all the other major news outlets. Why did it take so much effort to correct such a simple factual matter? How many words were dedicated to absolving Papa Johns CEO for using the N word in context? None.
Maybe the tape speaks for itself and we need to recognize the limitations of spin doctoring.
As a highly immoral person myself, I would gladly defend a guilty rapist by questioning a young woman's "sluttiness". What I wouldn't do is expect to be praised as a political champion of women's rights by all corners of the media. That is a media that hates women and uses them as dumb objects who will vote for wars and bailouts as long as you say nice things about them.

Deflection much? I gave you a break down of how the whole "Hillary laughed at a Rape victim" story unfolded and was used as a political weapon. If Hillary's at fault for anything, she didn't get in front of this LIE and call Trump out for twisting an interview where she giggled about the unreliability of polygraph tests in trials, which btw are generally not admissible as evidence in trials of all natures.

Well then you're just speaking for yourself, not Hillary. Also, Trump praised Hillary as a wonderful woman after he won so I guess he's part of that "media" you speak of. Not to mention he used the rape victim at the debate and then we never heard from her again after the election, but those lawsuits against him are still there. Trump knows a lot about using women as objects (sexual, political hit pieces, etc.) just look at his excellent track record of calling Black women Dogs, Low IQ people, and Rodeo Clowns.

They attacked Hillary because they can say anything and millions of brainwashed right wing turds will believe it. Lot of my military buddies still chant Benghazi and become irrationally angry to the point of violence if you correct them about it. But they will defend Trump deporting veterans and verbally attacking vets.
shareTrump lied about Hillary laughing at the rape victim, but it's Hillary's fault for allowing Trump to not only manipulate and use the rape victim (he invited her to sit at their national debate) while plugging the lie that Hillary laughed at her while defending her accused rapist.
It's the same conflating bullshit Trump does when he stonewalls on his own promise to reform immigration with "compassion and love" then turns around and associates all illegal aliens with MS-13 and the Drug Cartels. That way he doesn't have to address the situation with regards to DACA dates expiring or children being separated and incarcerated without their parents.
