Clarence Thomas' Revenge

Back on October 11, 1991, Joe Biden unleashed Anita Hill on Clarence Thomas during his supreme court hearings. The charge was that Thomas had sexually harassed Hill by way of making lewd remarks in reference to porn, commenting on her body and repeatedly asking her out. Though no formal complaints were ever filed even though they had occurred ten years prior.

The FBI was tasked with investigating the matter and came up with no substantive evidence against Thomas.

Thomas warned that such political lynchings would become a regular feature in politics. And he was to be proven correct. He went on to become a supreme court judge and the butt of jokes among the African-American community.

Later this same smear tactic was directed at now justice Kavanaugh . In that hearing we saw numerous Democratic government officials whom we are to believe took an oath to uphold the constitution, in which is found the principle of innocent until proven guilty [ beyond reasonable doubt in the case of criminal behaviour]. These various senators acted as if the reverse was true and that if at any time a woman claimed to have been assaulted, she is to be automatically believed and the burden of proof would be on the accused.

I was extremely troubled at seeing actual government officials taking such a line. It's one thing when Joe on the street wants to believe Sheila's claims. It's an entirely different matter when government officials with the ability to create law start doing the same.

Now there is strong evidence that Joe Biden himself has committed sexual assault. Not only is there an accusation, there is corroborating evidence.

CNN, which has already drawn fire for its reluctance to cover a claim of sexual assault against Joe Biden, failed to uncover its own archive footage in which his accuser's mother called into Larry King's old show in what some critics are calling "journalistic misconduct".

The Intercept reported earlier that Tara Reade said her late mother once called into CNN’s “Larry King Live” to discuss her daughter’s “experience on Capitol Hill,” where the alleged encounter with Biden took place. Reade didn’t recall other information, such as the date or even year and The Intercept managed to dig up a transcript of the call, but not the video...

The resurfaced CNN clip from 1993 appeared to show Reade’s mother alluding to “problems” her daughter faced while working as a staffer for the then-Delaware senator. Reade later told Fox News it was indeed the voice of her mother on the clip. Biden's presidential campaign has adamantly denied Reade's allegations but the video could be cited as evidence supporting Reade’s allegation – even though her late mother, in the clip, does not specifically refer to a sexual assault claim.

I will say at the outset that given that the mother is deceased, it would be hard[er] to verify this claim via adversarial interviewing. That said, it is far stronger evidence than anything sent Kavanaugh's way.

So now these claims are about a month old. Any person who not a total hypocrite has to be asking the question: Since we got wall to wall coverage of Kavanaugh and Thomas, why haven't we had it for this? You cannot come away without coming to the honest conclusion that the left wing media is protecting Joe Biden.

I don't understand how Democrats allowed themselves to put Joe Biden up as their candidate in the first place. It is clear that he has early stage dementia. Amy Klobuchar was [and still is] a far better opponent to Donald Trump. At this point a vote for Joe Biden is NOT a vote for Joe Biden but a vote for whomever he picks as VP. But I digress.

If Joe Biden were to be held to the same [wrong] standard that Senators used during the Kavanaugh hearings, he would no longer be on the DNC ticket AND Democrats across the country would be demanding he step aside. Democrats need to remember that most Americans are not tied to a party. In the general election, this issue can and will alienate a lot of moderate voters. The only question is whether the issue is stronger than whatever situation the US is in under Trump on or around election day.

But wouldn't it be ironic that Biden is taken down by the same tactic he wielded against Thomas?

Wouldn't it be ironic...
