Noemie Emery: Democrats' sleazy attack on Kavanaugh comes from an old playbook
Washington Examiner ^ | 18 Sep, 2018 | Noemie Emery

The Democrats had a problem. A young conservative judge seems headed for confirmation to the Supreme Court, and nothing they did was working.

Not the screaming women who had be to evicted periodically from the hearings while shouting obscenities; not the thousands of people who called Susan Collins, told her to f--k herself, and said that they hoped that someone would rape her and her assistants; not the complaints of Gloria Steinem, who tied global warming to a dearth of abortions; not the assurance of the famed Biblical scholar Chelsea Clinton that Christianity was really about supporting abortion.

And don’t even think about all those red herrings, such as the baby and manger and creche. The time had come to break glass and break out the ultimate weapon, the one that had (almost) worked last time — the unproveable claim of abuse that had never been mentioned to anyone at the time it was said to have happened. (Such claims cannot be compared to those of women who did indeed tell others about the abuse they had suffered contemporaneously, such as Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick.)

This new Kavanaugh accusations was of course perfectly timed to have maximum impact. What’s not to like from the point of view of the accuser? If it works, you get to change history; if it doesn’t work, you live out your life as a martyr and heroine, revered as a goddess by silly young women, guaranteed a lifetime market for your appearances, speeches, and books.

Unfortunately, Trump releasing his list of potential Supreme Court nominees let the left pair up willing women from the right town and the right age to accuse each on the list. I wonder what the women candidates have in store for them?

The Party of Hate and Violence—still at it since it was the Party of Slavery—hasn’t changed one whit!

Can somebody tell me how this can be relevant when it wasn’t decades ago? Can somebody tell be there is no statute of limitations on such accusations? Can somebody tell me why the GOP people in the room can’t ask the same questions, or otherwise cry “foul”?

The dems have jumped the shark. They no longer have credibility even within their own base.

The rats obviously think this will help them in November, or they wouldn’t have done it. I don’t see it - but then I am a more or less normal person. Course I didn’t think it would work against Roy Moore either - but treachery from the repubs is what got a rat elected in Alabama.

Most of the ‘RAT base knows this is not true. They don’t care. The ends justify the means.
