There's precedent

In a message left at the office of Ms. Hill, who is now a professor at Brandeis University, Ms. Thomas apparently brought up Ms. Hill’s accusations against her husband during the 1991 hearings.
In response to questions about the call relayed through a publicist, Ms. Thomas confirmed that she had left a message on Ms. Hill’s voice mail.
“I did place a call to Ms. Hill at her office extending an olive branch to her after all these years, in hopes that we could ultimately get past what happened so long ago,” Ms. Thomas said in a statement provided to The New York Times.
“That offer still stands,” her statement went on. “I would be very happy to meet and talk with her if she would be willing to do the same. Certainly no offense was ever intended.”

It’s called “class,” some have it and some don’t.
I don’t believe she ever had pubes on her coke. She made it up.

Why bother, unless her accusations were true... I don’t get it.
Could be that she was a woman scorned or that she simply wanted her 15 minutes of fame or that she simply was a lefty.
Should the NC Lacrosse players reach out to Crystal Mangun?
Why should the victim reach out to the perpetrator?
Doesn’t make sense.
She took all she could take from Thomas then stuck a shiv between his ribs...
Civility?
possibly
Reaching out to her???
Not in my universe.
The headline concerned me because there are some people who are beyond redemption and, without evidence that Hill was going to reach out and apologize for her lies, there’s really no point in doing so.
The message she left wasn’t as weak as I had feared (I figured it would be spun as Thomas wants to apologize to Hill, not the other way around). But there’s no way that Hill would respond to that message by owning up to her lies, so I think it was a waste of breath.
I do think it speaks volumes that Hill went to campus security. That says a lot. If she had told the truth all along and Thomas’s wife left a message like that, she’d just respond “I told the truth and while you may not know that, your husband knows it”. She wouldn’t go running to the cops to try to spin this as a threat, because she wouldn’t feel threatened.
She is an unmarried lefty, who may or may not have been manipulated by Kennedy’s staff.. Still, what she did was try to destroy Thomas’s career and reputation. Evil, evil. ..Why would his wife want to mend fences?
There was nothing sincere about the Thomas/Hill mess. It was a setup from start to finish - the only way the liberals could successfully contest the nomination of a qualified black man and have a chance of being seen as sincere.
The fact that a phone message reached the press is evidence enough that da b*ch has not learned anything and is still snappin’ and snarlin’
Thanks for reminding me why I should be glad Ted Kennedy is no longer with us.
I would NEVER reach out to someone who tried to ruin my family.
Are they getting divorced?
I was flipping through the latest Newsweak at the drug store while waiting for a prescription to be filled and they had a story that the lady is a tea party activist. BTW Newsweak is feeling mighty thin these days.
“Andrew Gully, senior vice president of the Brandeis University communications office, confirmed that Ms. Hill had received the message and that she had turned it over to the campus department of public safety. That office, in turn, passed it on to the F.B.I.”
How Brandeis handled this is most enlightening. As an academic institution, Brandeis is, of course, far Left Liberal, really socialist. Arguably, it is really more commie than any other at-hand label can easily describe.
“Academented” is the word for Hill’s and Gully’s response. Rather than responding or ignoring the email, Hill chose to attempt to make a “threat” issue of it and Brandeis stepped up to help Hill try to once again smear Justice Thomas and his wife.
How typically, loathsomely, Liberal of Brandeis!
Anita Hill.
That was the event, at Clarence Thomas’s hearing when the media and the Democrat Party began their combined offensive to take over our government in the open.
Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden led the offensive, and the GOP shrank from hammering back at them. They went on from there to 1992, when they hammered away at President Bush, and helped Bill Clinton to be elected.
The Right fought back and elected a Republican Congress in 1994, against all odds,but the caving of Newt and Dole in late 1995 helped pave the way for Clinton to be re-elected in 1996.
Clinton was impeached in Dec. 1998 because the Right demanded it(and FreeRepublic played an integral role in that),but that was short lived as the GOP totally wimped out n Feb. 1999 and would not convict Clinton in the Senate.
The Dems and the media unleashed themselves on the second George Bush in 2000, and almost stole the election.
Their continued attacks on Bush in 2001 helped create conditions for the jihadists to attack us on 9/11/01. Their goal was to destroy our financial, political and military icons. For one hour, they succeeded. Only a small band of free Americans stopped Flight 93 from being crashed into the Capitol dome.
We fought back in 2004, with the Swiftboats and the Dan rather incident, and won, in spite of opposition of the GOP(Karl Rove—doesn’t that sound familiar?)
Then in 2006 the feckless GOP allowed the Dems to win Congress, while we were involved in two wars.
Then they stood by, selected a Manchurian Candidate in John McCain, whose purpose was to throw the election to Obama, an unknown who had a radical background and even worse plans for “hope and change”.Oh, and a bonus would be destroying Conservatives, by sacrificing Sarah Palin and throwing her to the wolves(thanks, too to the Romneyites)
Now, in 2010, we see the GOP is slow to realize that the Right, and the people, are fighting for America’s survival, and taking on the Dems and the media form a Communist takeover of America.
But the Communist, America-hating coming out party was Anita Hill. They were bound and determined to blast a conservative Black judge, and also to personally DESTROY him.
It is almost 20 years of relentless attacks.
It is high time to put an end to this nonsense.
The Progressives have been at it since 1913. We have to roll back that tide. Our future and freedoms depend on it.
