Get ready, DU!!1 Tomorrow is ALL Uncle Clarence ALL day long!!1

[UTUSN]

So, according to him, the good of the country is WAY down the priority, because what matters is that he was HELD ACCOUNTABLE for sexual harrassment.

1. What?

I hate posts that assume we all have identical knowledge. We don't.

[UTUSN]

4. O.K., and *I* hate posts who dislike threads they dislike but feel compelled to post-in!!1

I don't know what is SO mysterious to anybody who frequents DU, but I 'll fill you in.



Clarence THOMAS has a book coming out tomorrow & he has EXCLUSIVE contracts whereby ABCNews canNOT reveal details till tomorrow.

Just to spell it out MORE for you, tomorrow, beginning with GMA (I guess I'll have to spell THAT out for you), TOO, ABC will be running interviews with Clarence THOMAS ------ALL fucking day long, O.K.?!1


But let's leave all that aside and get to the bottom of YOUR HOSTILITY, eh?!1

[blonndee]

9. Jesus Christ! Talk about hostility.

WTF is wrong with you?

[UTUSN]

10. Uh, replying to you and your pal?!1 n/t

[KitchenWitch]

17. Pot meet Kettle

I did not detect hostility in the other poster's question. But, in your answer, there appears to be enough hostility to fire a life long vendetta.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Bibby Bingo! n/t

[MannyGoldstein]

2. Hey! Sir Rupert Wants A Return On The $1.5 Million That He Paid Thomas For the Book!

[aquart]

20. A slur a day keeps the doctor away?

You must be very healthy.

[MannyGoldstein]

22. And Which Slur Would That Be?

Specifics, please.

[chill_wind]

23. The gratuitous "Uncle" label, would seem to me. n/t

[MannyGoldstein]

24. Did I Use That Label?

Doesn't sound like something that I'd do.

[chill_wind]

25. My apologies. No, NOT YOU, nor did I mean you-- the OP did.

And that's what I thought aquart was referencing. That's what I get for not following the sub-thread correctly. Very sorry, Manny :-(

(edited for spelling.)

3. Clarence Thomas' new book, an autobiography which he had someone ghost write

[Bitwit1234]

5. During Clarence Thomas confirmation for a supreme court judge

Anita Hill who was a professor or something like that, who used to work in the same office with him, came forward. She told about his sexual harassment. She said he used to photo copy his penis and shop it around to the women in the office. And I suppose she wasn't' the only one he might have harassed but she was the only one who came forward.

Congress shredded her. She wouldn't back down. But the confirmed Thomas anyway. That was the good old boy's club. The senate as much as said she was lying and they believed him. Of course the country didn't believe him, but as per usual we don't have a say in what the our lawmakers do.

[MadMaddie]

8. And who led the Congressioanl team that confirmed him

the one and only Joe Biden.

[UTUSN]

14. Well, it was the pioneer Poppy BUSH innovation of "using" minority wingnut puppets!1 SO give a good

Dem a break for not having forseen the evil to come!!1

[defendandprotect]

19. Biden did the dirty to the lawyers for Anita Hill and the many other witnesses . . ..

who would have testified to Clarence's perversions readily seen at the EEOC --

They were scheduled and Biden betrayed them all -- and the nation!!!!!

Biden has never been held accountable for this -- except in the book about the Hearings --
"Strange Justice."

[provis99]

6. Uncle Clarence. Good one

Somehow, its ironically appropriate that his last name is Thomas, if you get my drift.

[muntrv]

7. Oh joy!! A Clarence Thomas circle jerk!!

[theoldman]

12. I have always hoped that some one other than Hill would have

come forward and exposed his lies. I always thought he was guilty and should be removed as a judge. There was no reason for Hill to lie but a lot of reason for him to lie.

[Skittles]

13. sexual harassment was probably the least of his problems

that man has no business being a judge, period - let alone a Supreme Court judge. He is Scalia's tool and nothing more, a complete hack.

[defendandprotect]

21. There were many witnesses who came forward --

One prominent one -- Angela something who worked at the EEOC --
a speechwriter who was in the hospital at the time of the Hearings was willing to testify --
and at least six other former EEOC employees who were aware of and had witnessed Clarence's perversions --

[lordsummerisle]

15. I can remember watching Bush the elder on TV

nominating him and saying that he was the most qualified that he could find for the job.:puke:

[Dr.Phool]

16. That's believable.

When you consider Dan Quayle was the best qualified person he could find for VP.

[aquart]

18. Quayle was excellent impeachment insurance. Like Cheney.

Quayle did the job he was supposed to do.

[Swamp Rat]

26. I'm GLAD this the Hill vs. Thomas issue is being trotted out again.

Thomas has no business being a Supreme Court justice and I want to see Anita Hill vindicated!
