Former girlfriend says Clarence Thomas was a binge drinker, porn user

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was a binge drinker who had a pornography habit or fetish in the 1980s, then changed radically when he stopped drinking alcohol, his former girlfriend told CNN on Monday. Lillian McEwen, who dated Thomas for several years before he was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1991, provided CNN's "Larry King Live" program with a harsh depiction of Thomas. She said when they first met, he might have been a "raving alcoholic" who used pornography to help fulfill sexual fantasies, but then gave up drinking and transformed into an angry, obsessive man who bullied his son. King said during the program that Thomas' office declined offers to comment on the topics of the interview.

What, CNN is now openly anti-black? First NPR goes after Juan Williams and now CNN goes after Clarance Thomas? Why do they hate black people?

What’s with this racially motivated attack on a supreme court justice? Doesn’t the clinton new network (communist news network?) have anything better ti investigate? Like maybe obama’s missing birth certificate or school records?

She dated him for several years and this didn’t bother her.

They only hate black conservatives.

Slaves who escape the Plantation and then do well for themselves are among the most hated. They are hated more than those who helped them acquire their liberty.

The hatred serves two purposes.

1. To excoriate and punish the escaped slave.

2. To discourage others from following their example.

The more the woman talks, the less credibility she has. “Raving alcoholics” and “binge drinkers” rarely just wake up one day and successfully decide not to drink. Nor, in all likelihood, would they go through prosecutory Senate hearings and their alcohol problems never be brought to the limelight.

Follow the money:
McEwen, a former prosecutor and administrative law judge who has written her own memoir and is seeking a publisher, said she believed Hill's account of sexually suggestive statements by Thomas because of his use of pornography.
Why didn't she just follow Al Franken's lead and title her book, "Clarence Thomas is a Big Fat Idiot"?

Exactly. “Raving alcoholics” cannot stop on their own. He would have to be involved in a 12-step program and have made the necessary commitments to stop drinking. Even then, a non-drinking alcoholic will still give out alcoholic tendencies in ways of thinking and acting for the rest of their lives. I watched those hearings and saw none of the tendencies one would expect from an alcoholic. This is just more of the same stuff we had back then.

Bingo! she has never done anything in her life that warrants someone reading her "memoirs" so she is trying to use Thomas's success as a tool to draw readers who will pay to hear what she wrote. Phoney witch.

...attacking the SCOTUS, typically Marxist. If CNN had any b***s they would find out who’s paying this low level pos who suddenly shows up and makes accusations years after the judge ran the gauntlet of the rat lynching.

You clearly know of what you speak. As a very grateful nine-year member of AA, I can attest to your being absolutely correct on all counts.

Why do they hate black people?

Oh but they decidedly do not hate black people who know their place. Slaves to democrat politicians, and the left wing news media. Nope, keep em barefoot and down on the farm and those are just the best black folk around. Try your best to rise from poverty, food stamps and the Projects, and you are scum, ripe for an Uncle Tom attack.

My guess is they are trying to build public sentiment for ousting Thomas from the court. (Is that even possible?) It is strange that this old story comes out after so long and with “new evidence” to support it.

This jilted girlfriend was on Larry King last night. She was struggling for words and Larry, always the helper, kept putting words in her mouth that she would nod in agreement with.......

Why do liberals care anyway, even if it’s true? I thought they were all for porn and other vices?

It does appear that liberals have a big hate for African Americans who don’t stay obedient.

On Larry King last night she said two of the “strange things” he began doing when he stopped drinking was RUNNING IN THE EARLY MORNING FOR UP TO 10 MILES PER DAY...as well as BECOMING OBSESSED WITH BECOMING A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE....

Sounds to me like he underwent a life changing event and probably realized at the same time she was part of the problem in his life at that time.
