I found him apolitically ambitious and skillfull lier. He was very capable of inuendo making the untrue seem true. I beleive that Anita Hill was an honest and truthful person on this basis alone. He was part of the rat pack who were friends with Thomas. I have worked with at least one of the persons who testified in Support of Judge Thomas.

She sold herself for it then, and she's trying to get a little more attention now. The question is, are we willing to buy into these falicies 16 years later, claiming partisan politics if the other side doesn't buy into them, or are we just willing to be intelligent (for a change), drop the party out of it, and realize that ... just because someone says it, then the news repeats it 100 million times, does NOT make it true... can't make it true, can't produce truth from it. Changing the definition of something to fit the situation won't make it true either. She was nothing then, she's nothing now, those of you who idolize her hopefully will realize the crock you were lead to believe. Anyone can read stories of harrassment, and then regurgitate it out. You wonder why all the stories start to sound strikingly similar, it's because they're all starting with the same book, article, or blog entry, and then just fitting it to themselves. Harrassment exists, man on woman, woman on woman, woman on man, man on man.... but such an obvious political ploy as this was, there just was no substance to it to begin with. 'I swear it happened this way... no... this way... no.. that way... um... what way will make it sound better to you?' is what the news media gobbles up. Sex sells, and the more sex in the story, the better it'll sell. You want sex, there is an entire industry dedicated to it, you want REAL news about things that REALLY happened, HA! good luck finding it from an American news agency, let alone CNN.

Most women have to be on guard in the work place. It's a statistic that most(over 70%) of sexual harassment does not get reported because of the character assassination they will be subjected to, the fear of losing their job and the emotionally exhausting investigation process. These are the facts. Sad, but true. There are clear guidelines of what is appropriate in the work place. I suggest you look them up and stop living in fear and ignorance.

Had these other women been called to testify (and they were waiting and willing), perhaps Mr. Thomas would not be on the highest court in the land for life. He not only did not deserve the position, he was also unqualified for the position. His self-hatred is exhibited in the Miller-El case where he was the sole dissenter. He should stop bellyaching and be satisfied with the fact that he undeservingly got a seat on the Supreme Court despite his bad behavior.

He is so full of himself- thinking he is above everyone and everything- not subject to the laws of the land or bound by morals.

I know it is not safe to identify myself and advertise I vote republican. The BLACK KLAN WILL LYNCH ME. Since so many think the same, 80% of them are obsolete because one person is doing the thinking for the rest. I wonder what God thinks of the wasted brains he gave out? By the way each and everyone of you will be responsible for your OWN SOUL according to GOD. It is stupid, silly, hypocritical, boring, unjust, and rediculous for all blacks to feel, think, hate, love, or like, the same. SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THOMAS HAS THE PROBLEM. And I stay as far away from them as I can. SLAVERY is over and TOO many are begging to be slaves like their ancestors. They don't want to take responsibility for nothing, they accuse others of the same things they are guilty of, they don't have the courage to use their own brains as individuals for fear they will be called not black. WHO CARES? Who Needs the black label? It is the blacks who have been detrimental to my life and health all my life anyway. Every single solitary mishap bad luck heartache I've had was caused by blacks. So it is not safe living amongst them no more than a red neck or a Klan. It is a burden off my shoulders to feel free to think for myself. I'd rather be a loner than be living a lie to get along with some of these people. The myth of a life they have created for themselves. Their same old tired old boring conversations of complaining about everything all day and night is a waste of energy to respond to, no wonder Thomas paid them no mind all these years I don't blame him. There are TOO many REAL issues blacks need to fix about themselves and community than nitpicking all the time over NONSENSE. But I guess you have to keep nitpicking to keep from focusing on themselves who really needs fixing. WHO DIED AND MADE THEM GOD? WHO FEEL THEY GET TO CLASSIFY HOW A BLACK PERSON, God's child I might add, SHOULD FEEL OR THINK? Go take care of your own kids who you probably can't control anyway. Look at your communities; think and feel about them for a change. It will keep you real busy for decades to come from now on. Thank God! Thank God! a black man who gets it.

By the way each and everyone of you will be responsible for your OWN SOUL according to GOD. It is stupid, silly, hypocritical, boring, unjust, and rediculous for all blacks to feel, think, hate, love, or like, the same. SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THOMAS HAS THE PROBLEM. And I stay as far away from them as I can. SLAVERY is over and TOO many are begging to be slaves like their ancestors. They don't want to take responsibility for nothing, they accuse others of the same things they are guilty of, they don't have the courage to use their own brains as individuals for fear they will be called not black. WHO CARES? Who Needs the black label? It is the blacks who have been detrimental to my life and health all my life anyway. Every single solitary mishap bad luck heartache I've had was caused by blacks. So it is not safe living amongst them no more than a red neck or a Klan. It is a burden off my shoulders to feel free to think for myself. I'd rather be a loner than be living a lie to get along with some of these people. The myth of a life they have created for themselves. Their same old tired old boring conversations of complaining about everything all day and night is a waste of energy to respond to, no wonder Thomas paid them no mind all these years I don't blame him. There are TOO many REAL issues blacks need to fix about themselves and community than nitpicking all the time over NONSENSE. But I guess you have to keep nitpicking to keep from focusing on themselves who really needs fixing. WHO DIED AND MADE THEM GOD? WHO FEEL THEY GET TO CLASSIFY HOW A BLACK PERSON, God's child I might add, SHOULD FEEL OR THINK? Go take care of your own kids who you probably can't control anyway. Look at your communities; think and feel about them for a change. It will keep you real busy for decades to come from now on.

He was speaking on the Anita Hill matter. It reminded me of watching him speak at his confirmation hearings. Then as now, there is something about the way the man speaks that makes me doubt his authenticity. His strikes me as a person who is not honest with himself or is at least internally conflicted. Maybe it's me but I just don't trust people who answer 'Did you do it?' with 'They were out to get me.' That is an emotional response. Regardless of whether or not Anita Hill's accusations were true, I expect a nominee for Supreme Court Justice to demonstrate more candor under fire than he did. I mean, how levelheaded is someone who uses an emotionally charged phrase like "high tech lynching" at his confirmation hearing? That phrase didn’t even make contextual sense.

Does anyone find it interesting that this is being hauled up when the Republican Fascists are at an all time low? I thought the limit was colored alerts and terrorist threats when the numbers were down? Pigs. Every one of them.
