The junk science Republicans used to undermine Ford and help save Kavanaugh
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | October 7, 2018 | Avi Selk

Posted on 10/07/2018 4:02:01 PM PDT by artichokegrower

The politically convenient, scientifically baseless theory that sexual assault so traumatized Christine Blasey Ford she mixed up her attacker is now something like common wisdom for many Republicans.

The idiot Avi Selk is too young to have ever tried to rememner something from that long ago. No matter how impressive it was at the time.

So he creates a strawman- after all, his intended audience is also too young to try to remember things from so long ago.

The left is furiously trying to create a narrative that Ballsy Fraud made a credible accusation based on rock solid evidence. It they succeed it will become common knowledge. In reality NONE of her assertions were verified or supported by witnesses she said were present.

LOL! Avi Selk made a straw man all by himself/herself/itself and projected on the target of his/her/its false accusation.

She did not mix anything up, she made it up.

"The person lying on top of you - who she'd previously met - you're not going to forget that," said Richard Huganir, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.


"What neighbourhood was it in? I don't know," Mr Trump said at the rally.
"Where's the house? I don't know.
Upstairs, downstairs, where I was. I don't know.
But I had one beer. That's the only thing I remember. "

And the ONE thing most 'voters' remember about Palin is:

"I can see Russia from my house."


In the following years, Ford's exact words in 'testimony' will drift away on the passing political breeze; but Trump's words will have become engraved in stone!

I appears a bunch of Republicans are incensed by this circus. The Senate is supposed to have a decorum about its proceedings. Grassley is going after Ford’s lawyers and Democrats.

She didn’t mix up her attacker, she made up her attacker.

I never read that it was suggested that the trauma of sexual assault had messed up her memory.

There was quite a lot about that and it all came from Ford and her defenders. It was her primary excuse for recalling nearly nothing.

...why the careful social media scrub...

Is the FBI investigation non-secret?

I'd like to know whether they looked into her backed up; ARCHIVED SM accounts.

I'm QUITE sure that Google, Facebook ETAL have ALL of the old stuff stored SOMEWHERE.

"The ... theory that sexual assault so traumatized Christine Blasey Ford she mixed up her attacker is now something like common wisdom for many Republicans we just made up in the fakestream media."

There, I fixed it. What a ridiculous idea. Dr. Ford's story sounds like pure nonsense, or a fantasy, or a false memory. She couldn't even get which half of the decade it was until she looked at when it could have happened.

Polite people are just saying that maybe she mixed up her memory of who attacked her to avoid saying that Dr. Ford is just a lying political operative working with her FBI friends.

The article refutes its own premise.

Your attention span is WAY too long!

The San Francisco Chronicle is a Hearst newspaper. And the Hearst kids are like the sons of Fox’s Rupert Murdoch. Flaming leftists who just want to belong in an elitist cabal.
