Did Clarence Thomas sexually harass Anita Hill?

Did Clarence Thomas describe porn videos and talk about pubic hairs on coke cans to his employee, Anita Hill? Were Clarence Thomas's denials at least as evasive as those of Representative Weiner's? Is it as obvious to most people that Clarence Thomas was as guilty of sexually harassing an employee as Weiner is guilty of sexting random citizens - several of whom responded with enthusiastic consent?

Clarence Thomas's wife Ginny sat behind him during the hearing and cried at her husband's "high tech lynching." Or was she crying because she knew that every word was true?

The Democrats on the Senate Committee - including Joe Biden - approved Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court. They threw Anita Hill out like trash and allowed her name to be dragged through the mud.

And Clarence Thomas's record on the Supreme Court speaks for itself, as does his wife's record. And Anthony Weiner, who was the very first Democrat to ever really take on the Thomases for their illegal behavior, well.....

It's all just a little ironic, ain't it.

Over and over again I was told by various female professors (mostly law professors) that the head of the EEOC was the biggest, most active, serial, sexual harasser in the country. I was in the southwest - not exactly inside the beltway but yet every female attorney and educator knew about him. They were livid and adamant that he was the worst person in the world to fill that position.

The head of the EEOC was, of course, Clarence Thomas.

As to where this country is headed if we do not stop them

effort to tank Weiner is because of him. Shows you just how important he is to them. He's intouchable. Also explains why he votes the way he does. He's completely owned and completely comfortable being owned.

One would think that politics was a football game and our side just got called for clipping.

edited for typo

he failed.

and it matters

it matters because his voice cannot be as loud. it cannot be on that high road. and we all lose. and it matters cause it gives that creep bart whatever validity.

so as much as you may hate the sanctimonious bullshit, i have the juvenile behavior.

sanctimonious bullshit?

Senate Judicial Committee. There is no question that he sexually harassed Anita Hill.

I've been thinking the same thing all day.

Ol' Clarence and Ginny's backers have an awful lot to lose if Thomas gets impeached during Obama's presidency, don't they?

All the while, Thomas collected large, undisclosed contributions from secret donors, some of whom, conceivably, may have had business before the Supreme Court. (Clarence Thomas was required to report her income on his financial disclosure forms, but for several years, for reasons that remain unclear, he chose not to.)

....

Dave Weigel added, "So you can hire Ginni Thomas to help determine whether a bill will pass constitutional muster if it comes before, you know, her husband."

Thomas is the corporatists' choice. He gave them "personhood."

He's protected...

mind would trust Clarence Thomas' word.

controlled the Senate at that time.

(I must be missing something)

He acted like a idiot and I blame him 100% for the fact Thomas made it to the bench.

What an asshole he was at the time.

then, and some still don't "get it."

Considerably more evidence existed that was not allowed into the hearing. And, Doonesbury had a great cartoon at the time:

"Over a decade later, I still recall Gary Trudeau's Doonesbury strips on the confirmation of Thomas as having one of the most striking points about the entire debate over Hill's credibility. In the last strip in the series, a character makes this point:

'There are only two ways of looking at Thomas and Hill. Either Hill was telling the truth and Clarence Thomas is a garden-variety liar with a smokescreen of righteous indignation, or Thomas was telling the truth, and Anita Hill is a delusional sociopath of such stunning inventiveness that she should be studied and entered into the textbooks. A syndrome should be named in her honor- "Hill's Complex."'"

.... When you Digitize you Legitimize! At least leave yourself that ever evasive "Plausible Deni-ability" and keep the camera in your pocket!!!!!

Anita Hill appeared very credible.

Dems know by now that the rules are different for pugs and dems. Yeah, they're exposing him, but he shouldn't have done something so stupid. He had everything going for him, including a gorgeous, popular wife and dems that loved him. I still like him, but I am very disappointed.

Couldn't say a word because of the rape allegations in his compound surrounding his nephew.

I figure this will take a little wind out of Weiners sails too.

Though who knows.
Maybe Mrs. Thomas got off on it.

Who knows what secrets lurk in the dead, withered hearts of Republicans?

Ironic does not begin to cover it.

Oh, ... crap. Never mind.

:(

on a silver platter. Sent pictures to a social networking site? Really???? :eyes:

Well said. Clarence Thomas got the old "well despite OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary, Hill's probably lying or embellishing her story," She wasn't. I watched the entire hearing and it was clear she told the truth, in detail. The hearing also had a "boys will be boys" feel to it as well. SOB.

So Weiner exposes him for what, tax fraud and conflict of interest, and the next thing we know they've been hacking his accounts for ages and use the illegally obtained info to try and destroy him. This is SOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating.

n/t

There is no doubt.

and cover up for men and other women in all kinds of ways. Plenty of women are equally at fault.

Rec'd.

why even ask. And yes, da boyz stick together. It's a fucking patriarchy....what do you expect?
