He is now guilty in the court of public opinion by half of America, and by more than what he was even accused of. Ford said he almost sexually assaulted her, ask many what he did and they’ll claim he’s a rapist. I’ve heard the term serial rapist used more than once on here. It certainly became more than a job interview, so trying to downplay it as such downplays the reality of what happened.
And for the other half he's a public hero. Sorry if I don't feel bad that someone that likely committed sexual assault (trying to take a woman's clothes off while physically restraining her is not almost sexual assault) while drunk as a teenager has to endure a bad reputation while working in one of the most powerful positions in the world. He's such a victim. If the job wasn't worth the hit to his reputation, he could have just stepped down and gone back to his old job and the entire country would have forgotten about him by now. Bill Clinton has had similar escalation of allegations against him. I don't feel bad for him either.

On the other hand, I've heard no concern from you for Ford, who is viewed by half the country as trying to use sexual assault allegations as a political weapon, and equally hated by that half for doing so. The difference, she has gained nothing from this.

She’s almost gained a political win by keeping a Republican she views as hostile toward left leaning viewpoints off the SC. Certainly worth the risk and certainly why she did so.

This is getting to the point of really shameful dishonesty on your part. First, you link an opinion piece with demonstrable lies in order to impugn her credibility and don’t own up to it, then you water down her claim to ‘almost sexual assault’ which it most clearly isn’t, and finally you claim it is ‘certain’ that she made this claim not because she believes a sex offender shouldn’t be on SCOTUS but because she’s a liberal activist, based on zero evidence.

You’ve gotten emotionally invested in this to the extent that you’ve decided the truth no longer matters. You should be ashamed of yourself.

This schtick is getting old... How much are the PTB paying UC to keep clicks going here... It would be nice to have real, intelligent conservatives to discuss politics with. Not rinse, wash, repeat bullshit stir fake controversy accounts like this one... This thread should be locked as should any disingenuous bullshit like this... If it were real the GOP would have devoured it already...

Just more clicks for ad revenue... PLONK

What do you think her reason for coming forward was then.

She literally stated under oath her reason for coming forward. You are certain that she lied under oath so clearly you must have some powerful evidence that she perjured herself. What is it?

Trouble being this kind of post is meant to be plastered all over right wing forums that will view posts like this as the gospel truth. This of course even with many of them knowing it's more than likely BS but supporting it anyway "for the cause".

It's much like how Trump in true form is once again lying his ass off at his rallies with his fans cheering him on with every obvious lie that he belches out of that foul mouth of his. Lies are truths simply because he says so.

I'm thinking Trump is amazed and thoroughly amused that his tired worn out shtick still has some juice left in it. He must laugh his ass off after every rally he holds when he's around folks he feels comfortable with. It's like "Can you believe those idiots out there buying that crap I'm shoveling at them? Damn these suckers must surely be a heaven sent gift to me because I can't believe there are so many of these losers everywhere I go."

Was the almost 300 page thread about Kavanaugh insufficient?

Its amazing how quickly certain members are trying to rewrite history around the Kavanaugh nomination. I think for some reason the OP though that was going to be some kind of head shot thread and its backfired badly so now the only option is to keep digging.

The Booker story has not gone viral yet, which calls into question its credibility. The thread was premature. If Booker’s victim comes forward or presses charges, then we’ll see what happens.

I think it’s more that conservatives have begun to believe their own bullshit yet again. UC seems to have genuinely internalized the lie that Democrats thought all accusers should be believed regardless of credibility and so he thought this would be a great attack on that. He apparently forgot that was a straw man conservatives made up, haha.

Believing accusers independent of credibility is what diluted the case against Kavanaugh.

Please.

Ford was credible, even by banana republican admissions. The case against Kavanaugh was overcome with republican contempt for procedure, precedent, common sense and respect for women. The White House orchestrating a joke investigation didn't hurt.

It's not a question of virality, it's a question of passing the most basic of sniff tests. Someone anonymously posting a claim, with a highly partisan bent, as a Google Drive doc? Yeah, even habitual lie peddlers like Breitbart and Daily Caller might pass on that... and DC just tried to smear Booker in September. They'd need at least a name to hang their hat on, especially when it's written like a closeted Republican's fanfic.

Republicans: you will believe anything regardless of if it’s credible or not!

Democrats: okay, lets investigate and find out if they are credible.

Republicans: no.

We should conduct an investigation into this. Since we already have the victim's statement there is no need to talk to them again. Let's put a clock on it of say 12 hours?
Since Cory Booker hasn't resigned, Dems must support sexual assault.
