Abraham Lincoln didn't free the slaves Slaves fought for their rights and freed themselves.

Stop giving that guy all the credit for signing the Emancipation Proclamation, especially since he ordered the biggest mass execution against indigenous people in history.

Trump is a convicted felon and should've been disqualified from the election.

Seriously? Is this the hill you pick? “Other people were worse to than her boss who shoved his cock down her throat and also was the literal boss of the western world?”

Dude. Fuck you.

They were saying that Clinton wasn't held accountable enough. They didn't talk about anyone being worse than him.

I'm just pointing out that Monica was threated a million times worse by the 'pure' people than by Bill.

You know, it’s right there.

"In what way would you call it a win for anything except hypocrisy?"

The "it" being the Clinton Impeachment.

That's from my original commnet and you didn't answer it.

Explain in detail why she should be grateful for having her name smeared and being turned into a joke.

I think you two might be talking past each other.

vzqq never claimed Bill was held sufficiently accountable, or held accountable at all for that matter. They stated a belief that there should be accountability for that kind of thing, which you clearly agree with. That's probably why they didn't engage your comment. They never claimed anything was a win, so they didn't see how your point applied. Which honestly, it kinda didn't.

So when you brought up Monica being treated far worse than Bill, they read it as "the people who attacked Monica were worse than her sexual predator of a boss." Stripped of the context you made it in, and given they already agreed Bill should have been held accountable, they assumed you must be contesting something else. Their interpretation of which was a stretch, their own shock at it probably should have tipped them off, but they were pretty clearly just confused by then.

Sorry for the diatribe. I just hate watching two people who agree argue over a misunderstanding, especially when the ethics they both hold are fundamentally sound.

I said no such thing.

Also, I’m going to block you now because you bore me.
