Did you agree or disagree with the original poster’s excerpt of what she had to say?
That’s all that matters. It’s a good day when our ideological opponents find wisdom and use their bully pulpit to spread that wisdom.
They should be congratulated when they do it. It doesn’t mean we have to embrace the entire toxic total of their philosophy.
She’s not representing anybody here. All she’s doing is saying that before you accuse anybody of something as serious as rape, you better have all the facts.
And, because she’s lionized by both ‘her people’ and the left, she has more credibility than anybody in terms of actually convincing the white, feminist, ideologues that are trying to sell the, “Well, just because this guy didn’t do it doesn’t mean that because I have exculpatory information on him that I have a moral obligation to clear his name, and unfortunately expose and impugn the accuser.”
Example. What if Harry Reid had come up with the idea back in the 90s about having federal orphanages? We’re pretty damn close to that right now, given all the uncoordinated efforts out there trying to reach out and help homeless kids.
Know why it will never happen, ever? It was Newt Gingrich’s idea. As such, there is no way that idea will ever have any merit to the left.
We make it personal, which is what the left commonly does. When a lefty has a good idea, it should be celebrated.
Bill Clinton reformed welfare. Only Nixon could go to China.
My point is about her credibility to make the statement she did.
Once one sees who is making the statement the statement loses all meaning.
Statement from people who walk their talk have standing. Statements from people whose actions and words make a mockery of any intent have zero standing.
