The issue in the Bill Cosby case is he drugged them.
No. The issue in the Cosby case is that he sexually assaulted them.
I'm pretty sure both of those things are an issue

You really, honestly believe he "forced" himself on these women?

Why would I not? The man has a history of sexual misconduct and if several of the women allege they were victims of unwanted sexual advances on his part I tend to think they are being truthful.
The issue of whether they called for security or not is irrelevant. He was/is a powerful political figure and I cannot imagine what was going through their minds while this was transpiring.

How come he's never brought a defamation suit over the past thirty years against any of these accusers?
If you were him would you want to be deposed regarding that many allegations by one or more well-skilled attorneys?
Exactly my point. This was a question to a Hillary supporter who thinks Bill has grounds for a defamation lawsuit. Lots of accusers, ala Bill Crosby.

I know that. I was pointing out there are numerous accusers in each case. And with both Bills, they are accused of sexual assault. Does it really matter that they were drugged or not?

Yes i realize Cosby drugged the women then raped them.
Clinton dangled the future of these women in front of them then took advantage of them.
That's not a big ethical difference to me.
Rape is rape.

Again, did any one of these women call for security when they felt Bill Clinton was accosting them?
Of course it makes a difference. Those women were not too helpless to pick up a phone and call someone.
I know, I've been there. I've been accosted by bosses.
'There was no doubt in my mind that this young woman had suffered severe emotional trauma,'' he said. ''But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape. Ifiled a report with my superiors and that was the last I heard of it.''

It's really funny how many in this discussion would be shrieking about Feminazis and Social Justice Warriors on any other topic ... perhaps even casting aspersions on women's character ...
... but if it serves a false narrative against Hillary Clinton ... HOO BOY! Are the tables turned! Go feminism!
There's a word for that: hypocrisy.

Oh, the poor weak women couldn't stand up for themselves.
They had to succumb to flirtation and sex.

Wow, that's the exact mindset that Hillary has. I can see why you're an avid supporter. Blame the victims.
Bill Clinton's long history of sexual violence against women dates back some 30 years
