Report: Allard seeks new hearing in AFA cases--Clinton's fault

WASHINGTON - Sen. Wayne Allard wants to know if the Pentagon initially ignored sexual assault allegations at the Air Force Academy because of President Clinton's own scandals.

Thursday�s Rocky Mountain News reports that Allard is questioning whether allegations were downplayed because the Clinton administration did not want another sexual allegation story on its hands.

snip

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY, now sits on the panel investigating the assaults. There is no comment from her yet about this.

Of course, the AFA has been covering up assaults since god knows when, but it all boils down to.....Blame Clinton!

10. Conservatives Love Syllogism

It's much easier to be syllogistic than to actually think and analyze. Thinking hurts they widdle heads!

8. Exit polling said Allard got whomped by 20 points in 2000

I'm sure that had NOTHING to do with why it was shut down.

But, hot damned did that Exit Polling work like a charm Tuesday!

3. If Anything, Rep. Joel Hefley (R-CO) May Have Stopped The Investigation

Joel "The Combover" Hefley has his head so far up the military's collective ass that he'd do anything they asked......

4. nope, no sexual assault here, they're just "flirting"

being "playful", "rowdy", that sort of thing...

I think the air force watched so many Arnold movies that they decided they could get away with his type of behavior too, he made it acceptible...

2 can play at this game, you crotch-grabbing repubes!

5. Let me say that I did not vote for Dullard in 2002

I voted for Strickland. Dullard is an idiot, and blames everything on Clenis.

In any case, Dullard will be thrown out in 2008, re-ensuring a Democratic Colorado for a long time (Governor, US Senate, and a small minority of House Dems)

6. A lot of this has happened under this

"Slimy Shrub" admin and the previous bush admin - it's been going on in all the academies for years - long before Clinton. And Hillary Clinton has spoken about this quite openly - why wouldn't she?

9. what a load of BS-- women have been reporting . ..

sexual assaults at the AFA since they were admitted, and nothing has been done. there was a similar scandal 10 years ago (ongoing WAY before clinton took office) and that was ignored.

clinton did not make the commandant and all those responsible here overlook and hush up the allegations. he did not tell those bastards to tell women who had been assaulted that it was THEIR fault, he did not tell the commandant to punish the women, and not the men.

allard has always been scum, but this is a new low, even for him.

11. Who just embraced a sexual batterer for Governor?

Orin Hatch, GDubya, and millions of hypocrit republicans in CA. Call Allard regarding this totally absurd accusation.
