Former NY Times writer Edward Klein, author of the new book "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She’ll Go to Become President" says it's true.
According to an article on PageOne Q's website, Klein's new book has 'explosive' claims about the former First Lady, current Senator, and potential future candidate for President.
Klein claims such things as:
the culture of lesbianism has influenced Hillary’s political goals and personal life since she was a student at Wellesley, an elite college near Boston
she ‘embraced’ revolutionary lesbianism when she was young and tolerated her husband’s philandering because their marriage was a largely sexless political convenience
She said she was passionately in love with her husband, but many of her closest friends and aides were lesbians. Everything was ambiguous
Chelsea Clinton was conceived as a ploy to cover up Hillary’s sexuality
Will this be Hillary's 'Swift Boat'? Or is Edward Klein having really bizarre fantasies about powerful women who wear pants suits?that drug paraphernalia and sex toys were put on the White House Christmas tree
All I can say for sure is that just because a woman fights for the rights of womankind, it does not make her a lesbian. And just because a woman is powerful and intelligent, it does not make her a lesbian. And most importantly...being friends with lesbians does not make you a lesbian.

And most importantly, there's nothing wrong or scandalous about being a lesbian.

You know the Republicans and their media pimps must be desperate and afraid if they're already sinking to this sort of juvenile crap.

Since the boy king has been in office for so long now, they've had to sit back and wait for an opportunity to Clinton bash. Now that W. is out of the picture for the next election, I expect all the usual Clinton-hating to return with full venom and vigor.

drug paraphernalia and sex toys were put on the White House Christmas tree
would anyone like to venture a guess as to what republicans might misconstrue as drug paraphernalia and sex toys? because, as open a place as the white house is, surely this did not happen.
maybe pine cones are considered sex toys by gop-ers? and drug paraphernalia, as well! tinsel garlands and strings of lights misconstured as whips and bondage gear? little wreaths as toy vaginas? santa's pipe as a hit pipe? strings of beads as those things you stick up holes and pull out slowly (or rapidly, as your taste may dictate)?
personally, i hope hill is a lesbian. more power to her. remember, powerful women are often called dikes by fearful men.
being friends with lesbians does not make you a lesbian.
don't forget the right is convinced that homosexuality is catching, hence their fear of allowing them to teach children or move next door.

Jusin -- I really think you should re-write the title of this post. Even via the most "out there" of the books allegations that you transmit, no where does it make the claim that H Clinton is, in fact, a lesbian.
6 - jarboy
come on, eric. sensationalism sells. you gotta get'em to read yer blog.

The book is clearly just an anti-gay piece of shit full of stereotyping and fear-mongering -- oooh, the scary lesbians! Read the article for some more fine quotes from this piece of garbage.

What about this?:
Chelsea Clinton was conceived as a ploy to cover up Hillary’s sexuality

If you read the article, another quote says Hillary was a mother but wasn't maternal, whatever the hell that is.
Here's the logic: All heterosexual women, of course, are maternal. Lesbians are not, by nature, maternal. Hillary wasn't maternal. Therefore she is a lesbian.

Another gem:
"She was a wife, but she had no wifely instincts."
What the fuck is a "wifely instinct"? Such incredible bullshit.
11 - bhw
I changed this from News to Opinion.

Jarboy is right in that powerful women are almost always smeared as lesbians by men; it's like it's the worst thing they can think of to say about a woman: *gasp!* SHE DOESN'T LIKE MEN. HOW COULD SHE NOT LIKE MEN - WE'RE SO WONDERFUL! ESPECIALLY IN BED! I do like men as individuals, but as a species sometimes their phobias and foibles are so ... exasperating and annoying.
13 - jarboy
i hope hill gets elected president and then comes out!
14 - jarboy
"wifely instinct" means the woman sublimates all her needs and desires to please and support her man. you know, bhw, like june cleaver -- or laura bush!

Where is the specific proof? Please classify under Satire

Aaman, I was tempted to put it under Satire, but it really isn't. The author of the book and the writer of the post are very seriously, rather than satirically, speculating on Hillary's sexuality. So Opinion it is.
Doesn't mean the post isn't unintentionally satirical, though.
19 - jarboy
i knew all along you were a lesbian, mark -- it's those plaid flannel shirts. and now the rest of the world knows.

The quote referenced in #17 reads:
Right on!
21 - Silas Kain
Here we go again. The politics of hate rears its ugly head from the extreme right as they begin their systematic campaign to smear Hillary Clinton. Oh no, Hillary's a lesbian. Oh no, there were sex toys on the White House Christmas Tree. Oh no, Hillary is the anti-Christ. This is going to be a fascinating Presidential election. If Hillary wins, she should thank the extreme right for her victory.
22 - JR
Actually... I think it's hot. A guy who's not turned on by lesbians sounds kinda gay to me.
23 - Dave Nalle
If Hillary is a lesbian - though I'd be more inclined to believe she's bisexual or just a libertine like her husband - then she wouldn't be the first one in the White House. Let's not forget Eleanor Roosevelt.

I think you're not far off the mark, Silas. The far-flung right-wing excels at painting Democrats as "not the norm." It worked with Kerry (who, as a rich guy not always at ease in his own skin, made it easy at times) and so this will be the pattern until moderates on both sides of the aisle reject this sort of rubbish.

Please let it be clear - I was never speculating on Hillary's sexuality. I could care less what it is.
I was just highlighting the fact that a non-'traditional' woman, who has power and authority, and who respects and appreciates diversity in her life is being attacked for it.
If you had a category for ridiculous news I would have posted it there!
