Bullshit. The right wing was making Hillary lesbian jokes long before anyone heard of Monica.
Some of them were actually pretty funny -- like "How did Bill and Hillary meet in college? They were both dating the same girl." But that's besides the point. When you constantly use "lesbian" as a way to insult your enemy, it's pretty hard to claim that you don't view "lesbian" as a pejorative term.
Of course, no one would suggest that the right-wing gets just a wee bit uncomfortable seeing a smart, successful, powerful woman and just has to start calling her a lesbian, and virtually every other name in the book, to soothe their own inadequacies.
