Anita Hill was a remarkable woman back then. A role model. A hero, in many ways. |
|
She remains so to this day.

Anita Hill is probably CONSTANTLY fending off insane phone calls, probably a lot are pornographic. She has probably been instructed by the authorities to always turn over crank calls to them.

At least Howard Fineman had the balls to admit that Thomas's wife is "tied up with the Tea Party".

5. Many think she was instrumental in the sexual harassment rule in |
|
the workplace being implemented. I didn't follow this stuff then but when I went back to work part of the "new job" hires spent many an hour sitting through these classes. Bless you Anita, you're handling this like a real pro and the classy woman you are.

She will always be one of my hero's. If she wouldn't have been attacked and listend to Clarence Thomas would not have been put on the Supreme Court.

10. amen.... she didn't want to testify. she was forced. then they vilified her, smeared her, accused |
|
HER of perjury, when anyone with half a brain could see Thomas was lying harder than a dead mackerel on a pine board
the media, as always, was the real culprit in this, ignoring the myriad instances of Thomas' own highly misleading (when not obviously ludicrously false) testimony, and also ignoring many people who volunteered what a sleazy perv Thomas was
there were many instances of Thomas renting porn (and ignored by most media), which put the lie to his TESTIMONY that he never did, just for starters
speaking of starting, don't get me
SO FURiOUS now....
buh bye

With Mr. Thomas' wife in the news about her activities within the tea party they needed to shunt the spotlight elsewhere. Just my guess.

11. I have always admired her. |
|
"Classy" isn't a classy enough word to describe her.
