In an interview which Hillary conducted with The Pittsburgh Tribune Review on March 25th, she declared she would have left her church if her pastor made the comments Mr. Wright made. Indeed. And Obama would surely have left his spouse had she abused and sexually harassed her subordinates.

Mrs. Clinton went on to declare: "He would not have been my pastor. You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend." Since when do we not choose our family? The most fundamental choice we make is to choose our spouse. She chose to marry Bill Clinton knowing he was a sexual predator, to conceive and raise a child with him and to preserve that union regardless of the many times he used his power to abuse women. As has been well documented by Dick Morris in Rewriting History and Kathleen Willey in Target, Hillary even publicly defended Bill and joined his crusade of intimidation and harassment of the women he victimized.

This is not merely a private matter: as the numerous articles in The American Spectator have revealed, it is a public matter in which the resources of the state of Arkansas and the resources of the White House were used to perpetuate the mistreatment and harassment of Bill’s female victims. Furthermore, state and national resources were used to cover-up the scandals and to silence women who came forward. As First Lady of Arkansas and as First Lady of the United States, Hillary did nothing to prevent her husband from exercising his power over his sexual prey.

Clinton denounced Reverend Wright’s sermons as a form of "hate speech." She attempted to present herself as a courageous defender of just causes: "You know, I spoke out against Don Imus (who was fired from his radio and television shows after making racially insensitive remarks), saying that hate speech was unacceptable in any setting, and I believe that. I just think you have to speak out against that. You certainly have to do that, if not explicitly, then implicitly by getting up and moving."

Let’s ask Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broderick, Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky if they think Hillary stood up for them in their moment of need. And has Hillary ever “gotten up and moved” from Bill? Quite the contrary, she embraces his legacy and feeds on his support. At least Obama has had the courage to vehemently denounce his pastor’s comments. When has Hillary ever denounced Bill’s deeds regarding his female victims or apologized for her silence and complicity in them?

If given the choice between attending a Reverend Wright sermon or meeting Bill Clinton in private, the vast majority of American females will gladly fill the seats of Trinity United Church in Chicago no matter how many times they have to cringe at the pastor’s comments. At least, it’s only words…
