Business Insider ^ | 03/21/2014 | CAITLIN MACNEAL, TPM

Posted on 03/21/2014 7:34:15 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Anita Hill, the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment, on Thursday said that as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President Joe Biden did a "terrible job" overseeing Thomas' confirmation hearings in 1991.

Hill said on HuffPost Live that Biden failed to call witnesses and experts to testify who could have shed light on the sexual harassment claims made about Thomas.

This bitter bitch will go to her grave whining about coke cans and hating that she failed to bring down a good man.

She has as much credibility as the stripper in the Duke lacrosse team case.

I wanted to ignore this thread, but I simply have to join the chorus.. She is scum, for what she did to this decent man with a brilliant mind. She forwarded a lousy mental picture to the whole country, about some dumb made up conversation. and they don’t care about it anyway...if the dems did, they would have been outraged at the treatment of a certain intern whose initials are M.L. by a certain Prez whose initials are B.C.

What I remember about this whole Thomas/Anita Hill debacle is that at the time, a greater percentage of the people believed Clarence Thomas.

A year later, after the press had slanted the story and rammed “sexual harassment” down our throats, more people sided with Anita Hill.

Says quite a bit about the corrupt bias of our media.

I believed Hill in the early 90’s. And I was forever turned around when I saw her (during the Lewinsky saga)on morning TV giving Clinton a pass by saying ‘well, you really have to consider his voting record’ in considering the sexual harassment charges against him. I had been a Feminist-lite until that time. It was then I realized that Feminists aren’t really for women, they are just for Left-Wing causes and USE women to further their radical agenda. Hill had said ‘women don’t lie about sexual harassment’. But all the women who came out and accused Clinton were liars and were to be destroyed?? Leftists are hypocrites of the highest order and get away with it because Big Media always covers for the multitude of LIES.

Shame on Huffington Post and Business Insider for publishing this. Anita Hill can yell and scream all she wants, she does not have to be published.

And I’m a regular reader of Business Insider, but not sure for how long.

Militant Feminism is actually a war on femininity. It is part of a wider variety of Egalitarian/Collectivism, which encourages people to see their actual Blessings as limitations, and to pursue make-believe grievances, rather than develop to their full potential. On the Feminist aspect of the virus, see Feminist Delusion.

Put another way, the idea that Men & Women are competing interest groups might have been a fit subject for ancient Greek comedy. It hardly makes for happy families with a constructive future.

“These people NEVER give up. Never give up. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER give up.”

Very true. The left hammers away until it wins even if it takes decades. In contrasts the GOP, representing conservatives, seems to compromise at every turn rather than risk unpleasant confrontation.

Who wins 90% of the time? Those who aggressively promote their point of view or those who are willing to compromise principles?

Anita Hill is long past her expiration date. One wonders why anybody even went to the trouble of interviewing her, and in doing so, they ended up with less than they started with, which was nothing.

Ha. She lied on a job application under “reason for leaving last job” and said “sexual harassment” and thought nobody would notice - until the “witch hunt” press found her and thoght they had the perfect weapon against Thomas.

It’s why she didn’t want to cooperate at first. They forced her so she had to run with it.

I was hoping that now, at her age, she would come clean. Nope...

They never give up because they are totally blinded by their hatred of others. Whatever the woman had within her of any actual value, was not as important to her as her hatred of a man who believed in Conservative principles.

Her publisher, here, does not apparently want to debate Mr. Justice Thomas' principles. They would rather try to revive a very old smear. Disgusting, but typical of the Left, which has always been hate motivated.

Anita Hill is positioning herself for Hillary’s
Campaign. They are friends. She managed to show up
When the Clinton’s visited Martha’s Vineyard
And run some sort of liberal women’s sessions
While there. Hill is up for the upcoming election
To pump up Hillary and to take shots at Biden.
Just another incompetent liberal female lawyer.

Yet all that Bill Clinton did is okay with her?

RE :”Makes me wonder what they are researching on in regards to Dr. Ben Carson...”

I would be really surprised if Ben Carson has a Hermon Caine problem,
and given that he is not up as a SCOTUS nominee and unlikely to run for POTUS (I think he is too smart for that) its not worth Dems trying to find a disgruntled Anita Hill to try to take him down anytime soon.

He's very unique, a rare gem in my Marxist state of Maryland.
