The Pushing Of Clarence Thomas Book
Edited on Mon Oct-01-07 06:52 AM by EV_Ares
I see ABC's jan Crawford Greenburg is a biggie in pushing this book. Is on Morning Joe now.

Talks about how he think Annita Hill was a liberal tool.

However, has anyone seen where he offers any proof of this or is it just his belief.

I don't see where ABC offers up any proof as well.

My thoughts, ABC is a tool of the Right Wingers.

I would hope, but they probably won't, that others will show this book for what it is and will debunk a lot of these allegations.

Maybe it is better to just ignore it.

Calls Joe Biden a lier.

Where is the proof?

Pushing Nightline for Thomas to be on there tonight.

I think this shows his partisan politics and he is sitting on the supreme court.

1. Thomas is the toilet paper of the SCOTUS.
While Tony is the asshole.

2. Will Anita Hill speak out and defend herself?

3. I don't think she will because
she was raked over the coals when she reported his perverted actions at work. Taking those photo copies of his penis. She was made out to be a liar. And the rest of the women were afraid to come forward, after the treatment of Hill. Even the democrats acted like they didn't believe her. And thomas is the type of republican they wanted on the supreme court. Seems like republicans were hell bent on perverted sex 20 odd years ago.

4. Wonder if he has the courage to go on the Daily show...
The man that has not expressed a single opinion in writing on any case he voted on.

5. The only opinion he has is that liberals & democrats are the cause
of all his problems.

6. They can push the book to their hearts' content
I ain't buying either the book or the bullshit. Clarence Thomas' decisions on SCOTUS speak for themselves. He's a fucking tool.

7. My thoughts exactly
I am in shock however.
I am African American and I just talked to several intelligent and politically aware friends who saw his interviews.

They want to buy his book! :puke:

They said that after seeing and hearing how he had such a hard time growing up, they understand why he feels the way he does.

I am in shock!

I said, if he helps the poor so much, why is it that his decisions don't support that view.

They said he was basically a conservative but that he has a good heart after they saw him. :puke:

He is one slick cookie if he could convince my friends.

I can't even imagine respecting anything that he could ever say.

Am I missing something?

10. These friends are usually extremely liberal

and they still got sucked into his LIES.

They were even wondering if Anita didn't make that up about him.

Shocked I tell you, shocked!

If you see any articles that I can pass on to them that will help them see the TRUTH, please let me know.

All I can say, if these two women were impressed but this scum bag---the Democrats don't have a chance in 08.

11. I cannot think of anyone who would buy that book...
I am willing to bet it will be on library shelves collecting dust.

Thomas couldn't find his way around a thesarus to write a book; and I am willing to bet, he's one of those "no words over five letters" kind of writers...needs a ghost-writer just to come up with, "It was a dark and stormy night, when I was born"...:D
