I don't doubt that race is a factor in some (or many) cases. However, I know a lot of republicans/conservatives who aren't racist, and they spewed plenty of bullshit during the Clinton administration.
Some people just can't play nice.
The whole Lewinski debacle was a farce. It should have been a non-issue. Imagine what would have been found if people stalked Kennedy that way and dragged him through the mud?
