False allegations of sexual harassment
Academic Matters ^ | Oct - Nov 2011 | Catherine Burr

Since sexual harassment can be in the eye of the beholder, the only evidence that meets civil standards of proof, argues a university complaints investigator, can fairly decide what happened.

Seems like the false allegation lobby wants to make false allegations more viable.

Certainly, the GOP has accepted false allegations as completely normal and acceptable.

Last night there was an internet article saying that one of the authors of the Washington Post story has written other stories which proved to be false - false accusations. Is that true?? Certainly someone is investigating to determine whether or not.

One of the accusers works on the opponents campaign.

As a Jewess on the US, I can only point out that the number of women who allegedly DATED, but had no sex with, Roy Moore is EXACTLY the same number who accused President Clinton of FORCIBLE RAPE, a FAR more serious offense. Now we know why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST. Just sayin’!

But wait! Where is the evidence?

This is the democrat position on evidence:

“The seriousness of the charge mandates that we investigate this.
Even though there is no evidence, the seriousness of the charge is what matters.”

-- Tom Foley (1929-2013) former Democrat Speaker Of The House

Ever notice the media never runs stories on the women who have falsely accused men of sexual harassment during the last thirty years?

Women have been getting away with murder since 1973, why not false accusations of rape and/or sexual improprieties?

Doesn’t matter if it’s false. The media grabs it and won’t let go. The radio news briefs on the hour and half hour repeat it over and over. It’s all over TV all evening. The public, being collectively an a$$whole, eats it all up and believes it.

Note to a$$wholes: 5 uncertain statements do not add up to one certain statement. The uncertainties add up. They do not cancel each other out. (Doubt they would understand that.)

Yes the highly respected members within the GOPe are on it as we speak. With nary a scintilla of proof they are leaning to it being true. The Democrats didn’t need to investigate as they automatically knew it to be true, as they are the wisest among us on this planet. With the Democrats proclaiming it true and beyond reproach, the entire MSM media has accepted the truth, and along with respected members of the GOPe are calling for Judge Moore to step down.

The sad thing is that anyone can accuse anyone of anything and suddenly it’s true without any proof.
