Former vice president Joe Biden repeatedly said on The View on Friday that he believed Anita Hill from the moment he heard her tale of sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas. But he previously told Sen. Arlen Specter that it was clear her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee included lies. “Not only didn’t I vote for Clarence Thomas, I believed her from the beginning. I was against Clarence Thomas, I did everything in my power to defeat Clarence Thomas and he won by the smallest margin anyone ever won going on the Supreme Court,” Biden told “The View’s” Joy Behar.
And this clown is the front runner!

Of course she was. But Biden didn’t want a black conservative to be let off the plantation and onto the SCOTUS.
Scratch a demonrat, find a racist - it’s been going on for almost 200 years.

Obviously Ms. Hill still believes her story, as Mr. Chiclet´s apology ´wasn´t enough.´ W.T.H. does she want?

Ms. Hemingway is being too kind to the liar perjurer by referring to ´inconsistencies´ and ´ problematic key parts´ of her testimony. The entire performance was a deliberate and premeditated lie on behalf of her and her key witnesses. This entire approach became more nakedly obvious during the Kavanaugh hearings. If the next SCOTUS nominee is a woman (probably Judge Amy Barrett) remains to be seen what they come with.

Yeah lunchbox Joe keep bringing up the past you make this too easy. The old hair sniffer just can´t keep his mouth shut maybe he sniffed Whoppie Goldberg´s hair back stage on the View.

Before David Brock succumbed to his lover´s far left political opinions, he was a good conservative writer. I recommend his book "The Real Anita Hill" to learn about the woman. It´s still in print and available at many sites, but Amazon has it in hardcover and paperback.

Over the years, I have heard Biden lie thousands of times, with such sincerity, it is hard not to believe him no matter how big the whopper he is telling.
I guess Biden is proof that the old saying in politics is true. "People look for sincerity in a politician. If you can fake that, you´ve got it made."

Go easy on Joe.
He had Anita Hill mixed up with Anita Hume - - the lead vocalist for the singing group The Essex.
Joe believed Anita Hume - - and so did I - - especially when she sang "Easier Said Than Done" and "Walking Miracle."

Anyone with a brain then knew she was lying. The testimony just didn´t add up to my younger mind. When you have a woman who is making claims with no witnesses, vs a man who is supported by almost a dozen women who were backing him and his honesty, it is easy to see who is the liar. It was not Thomas.
The part I didn´t understand about her was why did she follow him to each department he worked in, if he was that horrible? Women know their own gender, and it was easy to see she was lying through her teeth. Howard Metzenbaum set this all up and exploited her relationship with his senior staffer. I thought Biden was slimy then, and time has only reinforced my opinion of him.

Anita, supposedly being sexually harassed by Clarence, asked him to come to her apartment to set up her new stereo equipment.
Was that the act of a woman being sexually harassed, or the act of a black woman trying to attract a highly successful black man?
(The Washington Post has printed articles about successful black women in D.C., and the lack of a black man for them.)
The Thomas / Hill incidents reflect that issue perfectly.l

The real reason Biden and other Dems were against Thomas is they don´t want a Republican President to get credit for advancing a minority person into any prominent position.
Democrats regard minorities as "theirs" to promote, or even to quash if they get all "uppity" and start thinking too independently and wandering off the Dem plantation! Like others have said, "The more things change..."
I love the quip that I have often seen recently about "Dems haven´t been this mad at us Republicans since we freed their slaves!"

Amazingly, Biden recognized lying at the time. Now, he is SO much more flexible, and,
[severe sarcasm warning]
after all, what is truth? Can´t we all agree that truth is just a different thing from different perspectives......
/s off
Biden is meaner than a snake, and has learned from Hellary and The Zero that massively lying is fine for Dems to do. So, he is doing it.

Don´t worry about it #18. A year from now Joe will have gone from "woked" to smoked.

"I thought Biden was slimy then, and time has only reinforced my opinion of him."
Just wanted to echo this statement by #14.
Also with regard to #18´s comment, "This is all a year too soon!", I figure that´s the reason it was brought up now - an attempt to end the leftist women´s criticism of his hair sniffing, get the Hill issue, that was certain to come up, out of the way, and gain their much needed support by letting them know he is willing to bow to their commands.

I followed it all very closely back then and I never heard any accusation of anything that Thomas did that rose to the level of sexual harassment. Of course then later they changed the definition to include such minor things that co-workers were told it was a firing offense if they dated. A couple of friends at work wanted to date so they flipped a coin to see which one would quit the company so they could proceed. She quit. They eventually married. It was just insane.

Anita Hill, Joe Biden, and the complicit media should all be apologizing profusely to Justice Thomas - their treatment of him was unjust and dishonorable.
Rather than revisiting this travesty, all involved should be hiding in shame.
