Does It Bother You that Anita Hill was Totally Slimed by David Brock

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by etherealtruth (a host of the General Discussion forum).

And now he is a key player in Hillary Clinton's Campaign? That seems to be very contradictory to women's issues.

4. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them".

I honestly don't understand why Clinton brought him onboard - imo, he'd be the very last person they'd want to associate with. What he did to Dr. Anita Hill was horrible and probably scarred her deeply.

did to the country pushing that crap in the media 24/7, Anita Hill and to Bill and herself is fine and admirable but to get down and wallow in the filth that he is, that's a whole different matter.

9. David was paid to do it by W.M. Scafie.

David apologized to Anita personally and they have been friends for a long time now.

afaik the V-President has never apologized to Anita for her public stoning that he orchestrated. Was he paid or was he just a sexist jerk? Were you concerned about Joe being a key player in 2008?

But no matter who forgives him, he's on record as having been willing to do that kind of thing.

So you're okay with him now? I'm sorry a paid "hit man" smearing good people is fine with you and Hillary. He allowed right winger Clarence Thomas to end up on the Supreme Court. Oh but African Americans who pull up the ladder of success behind them and right wingers are okay too with you and Hillary.

16. No

Because I really don't hold shit against people that they said decades ago.

I don't follow Brock today so I have no idea what he himself has said about anything in the present.

But I also know that I said some really terrible shit myself back twenty years ago when I was a twenty-something that thought I knew everything.

Life is not absolutisms and people should not be defined by one thing.

The constant running to the well on Brock and what he said about Anita Hill is pretty much saying that nobody can ever change. Which in some ways is what a lot Bernie supporters are all about because Bernie hasn't changed his message in fifty years - which is both very good and very bad.

what do you expect him to do, change his message? As soon as the problems are fixed, then he will change his message, like all good people.

That they would hire the devil to do their dirty work. If Karl Rove flips to the otherside in 4 years, are you OK with him working for tbe Democrats?

Brock hasn't redeemed himself and won't by smearing Bernie.

What you guys and gals won't forgive is Hillary not getting her crown.
