The Kavanaugh Smear War Broke My Decades-Long Support For Feminism

Well stated. Very good.

There is nothing wrong with standing against abusive males, and standing for rights of women.

But all who are tempted to hate, especially in reactionary manners, take heed: THE ISSUE, IS NEVER THE ISSUE.

Always, look for the commies. It is always commies trying to push their agenda, only using whatever group and stoking their passions as they can.

True. There is no group too holy not to be used by the left for their own purposes.

*snicker*

You nailed it.

Final word... for history’s sake...

How To Tell That The Battle To Stop Kavanaugh Is Over
October 03, 2018 by Francis Menton

Is the battle to stop the Kavanaugh confirmation ongoing? Or really, is it over? No official admission of defeat has been issued by Senate Democrats or any of their allies. Yet there are many clues out there, and they all seem to be pointing in the same direction: “this is over.” Of the many clues, which one is the most definitive?

Here are some of candidates:

An early clue was the emergence of second and third accusers Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick. Could these two transparent frauds have been better selected if the only purpose was to undermine the potential credibility of the only potentially credible accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford? I mean, in case you might have been inclined to give an apparently damaged woman (Ford) the benefit of the doubt, and in case you might have thought it unlikely that there could be anyone out there so malicious and so overcome with hatred and anger for all things Republican that they would make up completely fake stories about old sexual assaults, now you know.

A second potentially key clue was when Dr. Ford’s story started to spring a new leak every few hours. She can’t come to Washington to testify because of her fear of flying? Not really. She built a second door to her house as an escape route because of anxiety stemming from the assault? Not so much. She never used her expertise to help a friend prepare for a polygraph test? Just kidding. Notes from therapy sessions are privileged when Republicans ask for them, but have previously been turned over to Democratic staff and to the Washington Post? How does that work? Since sharing the notes with the Post unquestionably waives any privilege, you can be forgiven for concluding that the refusal to let doubters see them can only mean that they would reveal major discrepancies in the story.

Or maybe the really important clue was when leading Democratic Senators started walking away from the Ford story and advancing newly-created reasons to oppose the nomination. Bernie Sanders wants Kavanaugh investigated for perjury (for admitting to underage beer drinking, but not to enough underage beer drinking). Diane Feinstein now thinks the real reason not to confirm Kavanaugh is that he lacks “judicial temperament” because he got angry about the accusations against him.
