Anita Hill Lies Again

Tawana Brawley. Crystal Gail Mangum. Anita Hill. Each used false accusations of sexual improprieties to attack and destroy men. Each has been shown to be a liar. But since she is a liberal icon, Anita Hill has gotten space in…

Best comment I’ve seen yet on the Anita Hill controversy comes from G. Will:

“Anita Hill and her allies blazed the path subsequently trod by Crystal Gail Mangum and her fans in the university/media establishment in the Duke non-rape case last year.”

But Thomas has an even better last word:

Once I got on the Court, I vowed I would never do my job as poorly as journalists do theirs.

Bravo! You’ve risen far far above the abysmal bottom-feeding standards of ink-stained hacks & political media-whores like Hill.

Clarence Thomas is a great person who has stood up to bigotry from the left like the Rock of Gibraltar. Nothing creates a target for liberal rage like individuals who refuse their prescribed stereotype.

Sister Toldjah, you are another. I don’t know where you get the courage but thank you for the inspiration. In spite of our disagreements on immigration “reform”, I learn something every time I drop by your blog or read what you have written.

The Anita Hill controversy is old news. She testified under oath and the Senate opted to confirm Clarence Thomas anyway. It’s done. The more interesting story is Mr. Thoma’s judicial opinions. No one, however, seems to care that Mr. Thomas’s track record is anything but that of a consistent conservative that respects judicial restraint. Mr. Thomas’s voting record is one of a radical with no respect for precedent. He consistently votes to overturn laws passed by the Congress if they do not meet Mr. Thomas’s “set in stone” radical ideology. Moreover, unlike a traditional conservative who believes in federalism and, therefore, more power to the states, Mr. Thomas consistently votes to aggregate more and more power in the federal government.

As I have watched and listened to all of these interviews, yes I even forced myself to watch “60 minutes” /shiver, I really have had a new sense of this man whom I have never really known much about. In all of these interviews, I was completely at awe at how he was so kind and generous, not distant, and not angry. Also, a thought keeps reoccuring in my mind, and that is he truly did fulfill the divine call on his life when he became a judge. I am looking forward to reading his book. I hope it does well. – Lorica

Once again, you see from all this that Thomas presents the classic history of a person that the liberals/leftists all despise, he started out life with problems, including attitude and behavior, and he overcame them to improve himself rather than whine and play victim. He was angry, he realized that wasn’t helping, and got himself under control, discipline is something leftists seem to hate with a vengeance. He drank, but stopped (hmmm…just like Bush, someone else they hate, he recognized his weakness and instead of becoming a victim and a poor me I’m addicted he overcame it), and he has religion and feels it’s important in his life.

Gad, how DARE he! Use traditional religion and American values such as self reliance and discipline and self control to become a better person! How dare he not blame it all on race and repression and wallow in it!

This is the sin that cannot be tolerated by the modern leftist. Of this Thomas is guilty, and more power to him. I respect him more after reading this, and his consistent judgments that support strict constructionism are what made me respect him in the first place. But, he’s wandered off the liberal Democrat “plantation” in that he’s thinking for himself, not playing victim, not blaming others, and is, gasp, a conservative and believer in the Constitution as written. Therefore he must be destroyed.

Bah. The man has my respect.

Clarence Thomas is a class act. Anita Hill? No so much. She’s been shown for what she is.

Perhaps Hill had a crush on Thomas, and he never reciprocated? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned they say, that itself could go a long way towards explaining the facts and the venom.

I got no further than Anita Hill’s characeriaztion of Clarence Thomas as angry. The left consistently charge that Thomas is angry. Yet it quite apparent that Thomas is anything but angry.

You listen to Thomas and he quite clear that in his college days he was angry. I don’t think Thmaas liked what he say in himself as angry man. Having been angry, not liking it, Thomas appears to have vowed not go back to being angry.

Thomas is determined man and his made the determinatin not be angry. Anita Hill would do well to do likewise.

Yes, the story doesn’t add up…but that doesn’t bother some people.
