One thing I learned watching the witch trial of Brett Kavanaugh on MSNBC, is that a prestigious university in New York has a Vice President for Social Justice. (She is an MSNBC commentator). Her Orwellian title is but one of many signs that our country is already on the threshold of 1984; the Judiciary Committee circus is another.
In her comments on the hearings, the Vice President for Social Justice, Maya Wiley, was clearly out for blood, and had no interest in evidence, due process, or the facts. She is also of course both a woman, a woman “of color” and a lesbian. In other words, she occupies three of the top rungs in the hierarchy of the oppressed - all bombs waiting to blow up in the face of any straight white male who stumbles into their cross-hairs.
Any fair-minded observer of the Kavanaugh proceedings would have noted that no one – Republican or Democrat - so much as laid a glove on his female accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, even though she had come forward to destroy the life of an exemplary individual and his family. No one, dared to do so. Call this feminine or victim privilege. Kavanaugh’s high school yearbooks with tales of drinking were fair game, but Ford’s – which openly talk of the girls’ sexual promiscuity and boast of girls passing out at drinking parties - were not. Nor were her extensive political connections to the anti-Trump left, the pro-abortion movement, the Democratic Party and even the law firm involved in the Steele dossier.
Yes, the sexual crime prosecutor established that Ford lied to the committee when she said she couldn’t come to Washington for the hearings because she was afraid of flying. In fact, as she admitted under questioning, she has frequently flown all over the world for pleasure. But no one actually confronted her about this. For example, no one asked her directly, “If you were brazen enough to lie to a congressional committee about this, why should we believe you in regard to anything else?"
Yes the same prosecutor gently asked Ford why she thought her best friend Leland Keyser, whom she claimed was present at the party and would corroborate her story, in fact refuted it, saying that she was never at such a party, and the one in question never happened. Ford gave a transparently evasive answer saying her friend had (unspecified) health issues, while never explaining what they were or why that should cause her to contradict what Ford had claimed.
Actually, all the alleged witnesses to the party where the incident was supposed to have taken place have denied that they were there. The one witness who was allegedly in the room where she claimed the incident took place says he wasn’t there. But none of the senators had the temerity to confront her directly with the obvious question: why should we believe your inflammatory claims about Judge Kavanaugh given that no one you have named supports any piece of your story? Moreover, no one asked her “How do you feel about besmirching the reputation of a stellar individual, and bringing incalculable pain to his family by advancing claims that no one corroborates? How can you say that you are 100% sure an incident happened, when you can’t remember anything else accurately about the evening? Did your lawyers instruct you to say 100%? What actually did your lawyers prompt you to say in your prepared statement?
No one said to her: you signed a letter attacking President Trump’s border policies and were able to get the anti-Trump ACLU to publish it; you contacted an anti-Trump paper, the Washington Post, to make your charges; you turned first to Democrats who are sworn to “resist” – actually sabotage –the Trump presidency and his judicial nominees; and you accepted attorneys recommended by Democrats, who are activist Democrat, anti-Trump lawyers. Can we conclude, therefore, that there might be a political motive behind your decision to bring up these character-ruining accusations about a rough-housing you allegedly received 37 years ago when you and Kavanaugh were too young to even vote?
No one dared to ask these questions or to vigorously pursue problematic areas of her testimony and behavior. Instead everyone expressed sympathy for her and her pain in testifying, and said how credible she sounded – even though, unlike Kavanaugh’s presentation, hers was vetted and coached by lawyers, and even though it amounted to character assassination if her memory was false.
At the bottom of these asymmetries lies the fact that despite half a century of women’s “liberation” and “hear me roar” proclamations the feminist attitude towards women is still Victorian. Women are fragile violets who wilt before the raised voices and impassioned claims of male innocence. But this image is a one way mirror. Let a moment go by and then, when they or their defenders are on the counter-attack, hear them roar. Senator Mazie Hirono put it mind-numbingly well: “Men should just shut up and stand up (for their female accusers of course).”
This is the ideologically constructed atmosphere, which makes a latter-day witch trial like the Judiciary hearings possible. Christine Blasey Ford’s story is unbelievable on its face. She claims that after the alleged incident at the alleged party, where three of her friends (who have denied it) were allegedly present, she fled. Here are some questions that were not asked:
How did she get past those friends without them seeing her and her distress?
How could she not have warned her best friend, Leland Keyser, that there were two potential rapists in the house, if that’s what she thought?
How did she get home?
How did her best friend not ask her the next day why she left without her, or what happened?
Why was this such a trauma she could not tell her best friend? One can understand why she would want to conceal from her parents that she had gone to a drinking party with boys, but her friend who was allegedly there? She doesn’t even claim that she was raped, only that she was frightened in an incident that could have happened at any of the drunken parties she might have attended as described in her high school yearbook.
On the face of it, Christine Blasey Ford’s story is not only unsubstantiated. It isn’t credible. The destruction of Brett Kavanaugh’s reputation is the equivalent of a modern-day lynching – the third that Democrats have orchestrated in the last twenty-seven years. It’s despicable. At least Republicans like Lindsey Graham have laid that charge at the door of the Democratic culprits who worked so hard to accomplish it. But, as a nation, we have obviously not reached the point where we can grant women true equality by confronting their lies and their reckless accusations with the same candor and frankness we would if they were coming out of the mouths of men.
No one else is making this argument about Feinstein, but I agree with you. Feinstein strikes me as being a relatively straight up person. I don’t think she sits up and calculates how to lie....She’s probably quite naïve when you come right down to it, compared to the other California Senator, who is NOT a good person....
I agree, that Feinstein didn’t take the thing seriously, then she got busted for not releasing it, and the other democrats outed the letter and made her look foolish.
Brilliant observation.
Most people are impressed with actors who are believable in their roles. Doesn’t mean those actors know anything or are decent human beings.
Critical thinking.
You posted a vanity about it?
I was referring to the emotional response of those not enveloped in their own abortion hysteria.
I got hooked into it as well for a number of days...
Is your source reliable? Does it pass the occam’s razor test?
It was entitled “I’m done with Kavanaugh” and I outlined why.
“This thread has been pulled.
Pulled on 10/02/2018 11:33:17 PM PDT by Jim Robinson, reason:
no thanks”
FR should then be pulling all threads related to Foster since opinion in chat isn’t permitted under the label of Vanity and the FR banner should read “Confirm Kavanaugh, to hell with Vince Foster”. Alrighty then.
IMHO, confirming Kavanaugh plays right into their hands. But whatever. As an independent thinker, I frequently get stabbed in the back. Is what it is.
I guess my days here are numbered. My eyes are open, but this is blind leading the blind. Absent something which disproves what I’ve read in the past 12 hours, I predict that in the future I’ll be excoriating many here for their hypocritical support of Kavanaugh.
Your posts remind me of Firesign Theater’s “Everything You Know is Wrong”.
“I’ve been up all night...”
:)
Unless Ford was living under a rock somewhere it is impossible that she was not aware of the “can’t fly” assertion and was unaware of the committees offer to fly out to meet her.
It was all published in every major newspaper, national TV news, and all over the internet.
She is a lying liar who lies.
Explain what you concluded in your research.
He's probably glad not sorry.
What do you consider reliable?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1282406/posts
If so, then:
https://www.aim.org/special-report/death-of-vince-foster-part-1/
https://www.aim.org/special-report/death-of-vince-foster-part-2/
https://www.aim.org/special-report/death-of-vince-foster-part-3/
If you give a rat about the Foster investigation, read at least part 3 and get back to me, in particular Kavanaugh’s response re Foster’s gray Honda.
There’s a lot more on this, but from less ‘reliable’ sources...
At my leisure, not your demands. I’m angry today - angry that I permitted myself to be manipulated so easily, a testimony to “their” methods - and will take some days to collect my thoughts before penning an article on this, probably to Lifson rather than here since it will get pulled.
Ex BF discovered that she was cheating on him while she was working in Hawaii. He broke it off and cancelled her off a joint credit card. She still managed to use it for about $600. When he confronted her she denied It until he threatened to file a fraud report at which point she admitted to it.
Mark Judge should threaten a slander suit against this liar, unless she turns on Feinstein and the Dem lawyers.
If you weren’t going to explain yourself after making such a controversial claim, then why did you post anything at all? Answer: you’re a childish troll.
Did they cover the "fear of flying issue"?
Yeah. I followed the Vince Foster thing pretty closely. Figure it’s not suicide.
I followed the Kennedy one too.
They are both old news now.
It is possible that her attorneys fabricated the “fear of flying” story to delay Ford’s testimony. And then failed to relay to their client Sen. Grassley’s offer to meet on the West Coast.
They knew that it wouldn’t be made an issue by the MSM so just delayed the hearing to apply pressure and continue the Republicans don’t respect or represent women end goal....
This is as much about get out the vote as it it is stop Kavanaugh
