What a disgusting thing to say.
Yeah
It seems to stick in the craw of some people that women can be selective about who does and doesn't touch their bodies.

I mean, think about Yeledaf's comment.

What is being suggested other than that it's somehow hypocritical of women to be upset when a man they don't want to touch them since they don't mind being touched by men they want to touch them. It's disturbing

Yeah like I said, I think she was lying because there was just no patterns compared to the Bill Clinton/Bill Cosby/Weinstein bunch who literally had DOZENS of woman complain. And you have to be aware that politicians against his nominations, including private detectives hired by these politicians, were looking in every nook and cranny for any additional proof of harassment at the time.

I am familiar with the Angela Wright claim that Thomas asked her out on a date and made some comments. No the story was not the same. She also made a statement, even as an employee that was indeed fired and obviously held a grudge, that "she did not feel his behavior was intimidating nor did she feel sexually harassed". If that's the best those investigating him could do, well then, yeah Anita Hill was a liar because other than that - zilch.

And lets face it, he has been practicing on the supreme court for about 25 years, certainly with a number of female staff members and interns...and yet no other claims.

The next time that Bush 43 opens up his mouth to criticize President Trump after refusing to criticize Barack Hussein Obama, I hope everyone tells him that he should be monitoring his father to stop his sexual assaults instead.
You are not talking about the issue, you are promoting Trump.... ((surprised!!!... we see right through it. your spelling out Obama's entire name, is done with a purposefully intent to slant, because you want to promote your intent to play on the Trump angle of not considering him a citizen, and you certainly made sure not to refer to him in his honorable title of president. )

What a loony response. I spelled out Barry's full name for emphasis. If you followed my postings, you'll see that I soundly criticized and rejected birthers. But isn't a ***** that the left is so out there that you can't say the full name of a former president without being called a racist, etc.? Give me a break. Btw, I didn't refer to Bush 41 and 43 as "president" either (must be a conspiracy ) and you won't see me refer to Bill Clinton as one either.

How about that other one? The one who wrote the book nobody bought.

Was he single when he worked with Anita Hill?

Ginny would not put up with it.

I don't think GHWB assaulted her. He was in a wheelchair, almost 90, and his wife was there beside him. President Bush was using old man privilege and was not a threat to this young woman. He had no power over her.

I must admit, Bush's joke was lame and I would be pissed about him grabbing my butt. But, what he did doesn't go to level of sexual assault.

You know the best thing about being an old old pervert?

Usually women won't punch you. I mean who punches an old man ?
