There have been several disgusting episodes on FR over the years and none were worse than the Miers one. Here was a woman with impeccable credentials and solid Christian background who was viciously attacked by those WITHOUT A CLUE because she was not their idea of what was needed.
Now I have NO problem with people trying to pressure Bush or expressing their opposition to anyone, Miers included, but these attacks were what we are used to seeing from liberals: including her appearance, rumours of lesbianism, critical comments about her not having children, false statements of her beliefs and belittling distortions of her accomplishments.
And now we are expected to listen to the lectures from many of these same attackers about “character” and “moral lapses”. I don’t think so.
The audacity of those whose behavior was vile and out of control about Harrient Miers, calling those of us who defended her honor 'liberals' and lording their moral superiority over us is beyond the pale.
I fully agree that it was one of the darkest and most disgusting chapters in FR history..........and yet there are some who are bragging that they were part of it. It's unbelieveable.
