Thinking about Professor Anita Hill tonight . . .

[Bluebear]

At last.

[OregonBlue]

1. I'm thinking about the magic bullet theory. LOL.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. What did I miss?

Personally, I never doubted her.

[Bluebear]

4. Specter is done.

[BrklynLiberal]

16. Aha.....The Thomas hearings. thanks......

:thumbsup: :hi:

[cally]

17. Specter led the hearings about Professor Hill and treated

her abysmally and disrespectfully. I've never forgotten or approved of Specter since. We wouldn't have Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court judge without Arlen Specter.

[hlthe2b]

3. me too...

way too late but nonetheless...

[ecstatic]

5. details for those of us who were too young and/or nonpolitical back then??

[Contrary1]

14. Specter along with the current vice-prez were what I consider vicious in how they treated her...

helped install Clarence Thomas as a supreme.

Yuck, just thinking about it makes me want to retch.

[Bluebear]

15. Biden: Specter is the Democratic Candidate!

Professor Hill can have a chuckle at both of them this evening.

[zazen]

20. didn't Biden call out a male witness for being an egotistical asshole?

You know, the guy who said that Anita Hill must be a lesbian, because she refused his overtures?

I don't remember Biden being a jerk, but I didn't catch all of the hearings back then.

[jonnyblitz]

27. Biden and Spector both are remembered for being vile to her.

google 'Biden Anita Hill" and read what comes up. It was brought up by some when Obama chose Biden during the election.

[hlthe2b]

23. Hmm. I remember Specter and that pompous ass from WY...

Alan Simpson being the asses. I really don't remember Biden joining them... :shrug:

[Lilyeye]

24. Wow Biden treated her bad too? I didn't see the hearings since I was a kid.

[The Backlash Cometh]

28. I remember her grandmother sitting behind her.

She sat tall and proud.

[Captain Hilts]

6. I'll never forgive him. Ever. nt

[Mojeoux]

7. I will always believe her testimony.

I stopped being friends with other women who called her a liar.

They said, "How could she not tell for so long?"

By that logic, all abused people who are just silently suffering should just STFU.

Well the Catholic Church got that wrong!

[laughingliberal]

11. +1000 nt

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Ditto!

[ClassWarrior]

8. I'm thinking about Old Dutch Cleanser...

:rofl:

Here's to you Professor Hill!

NGU.

[scheming daemons]

9. I'm thinking about how Oswald's co-conspirators escaped justice

...because of Snarlin' Arlen's stupid Magic Bullet theory.

[laughingliberal]

12. +1 nt

[Raster]

21. Specter has been an accomplice and collaborator to some of the most unsavory moments...

...in American history: the absolute farce that was the Warren Commission and the sexist, character assassination that was the Thomas hearings. Time to write a book, Arlen. Try to make it as factual as possible. After all, you've already co-authored a heap o' fiction.

[muntrv]

10. That was a cover-your-ass move for voting against Robert Bork.

He felt he needed to show his fellow republickers that he's one of them.

[eleny]

13. Watching Specter starting to tear up moments ago I had no compassion for him

I hope Hill has a moment of joy tonight. Having watched that awful spectacle all those years ago I believe she deserves it.

[Bluebear]

26. indeed.

[David Zephyr]

19. Sweet.

I'm glad Arlen is gone now. I'm very proud of Democrats in PA.

Tonight was a very good night. We don't need Arlen in the Senate anymore.

Your pic of Anita was touching. I will always admire her. History will be kind to her.

[Lugnut]

22. +100 n/t

[Withywindle]

25. +10,000.

And you just know that paternalistic old lizard never really understood how evil that really was.
