Earlier this week Joe Biden got a strange endorsement, a blast from the past. It came from Anita Hill, the law professor whose sensational allegations against Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings in 1991 riveted the nation and humiliated Thomas, forever tarnishing his character and reputation. Those hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee were chaired by Sen. Joe Biden.
Hill’s endorsement for old Joe in 2020 was one that Biden and the Left coveted. She offered it despite her “objections” and his “mistakes.”

When compared to Anita Hill, a $20 an hour streetwalker in Washington DC is a lady.

Those hearings tarnished Joe Biden and Anita Hill as Partisan Hacks that would stop at nothing to advance their agenda, even slandering an innocent man.
There, I fixed the article for them...

In the opinions of millions of Americans, Thomas came out of those hearings as a hero despite the fact that Fingers and Splash Kennedy tried to humiliate him and tarnish his still impeccable character and reputation. I watched every minute of the hearings and I adore the man.

Kengor mentions David Brock's book on Anita Hill. It's a keeper. I recommend it if anyone is interested in what really happened with Anita Hill. This was written back when David Brock was one of ours and before he found a left-wing boyfriend.

Anita Hill didn't tarnish Justice Thomas' reputation, she tarnished hers! She's the bLACK version of Blaisey-Ford and Kamala is the new Joe Biden.

If you get the chance view, “CREATED EQUAL: CLARENCE THOMAS IN HIS OWN WORDS.” The hearing is part of this documentary and is a damning view of Joe Biden and his utter arrogance, Ted Kennedy and Anita Hill. I watched the hearings live many years ago and was appalled at the behavior of the committee Democrats lead by Biden. The documentary certainly cemented my original perspective. Biden’s over bearing sense of importance has only grown worse. We are blessed to have Justice Thomas serving on the Supreme Court of the United States.,

Anita was one of the first slanderers, liars and character assassinators of good people in my lifetime that I can remember. She had a Doctor Balsey Ford kind of facade that made people want to believe her and a pathetic little voice but she was evil. I would guess that she supports Biden because of the BLM connection but the democrats will accept any kind of shallow endorsement at this point.

And didn't Heels Up humiliate herself just a badly during another Supreme Court justice hearing? No wonder she and Beijing make such an arresting pair of Democrats to "run" for the presidency.

Yes, #5. I watched every minute of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings too. I can’t begin to tell you how many tears and prayers came from me on that emotional roller coaster ride. It was a very shameful and painful time because of what Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy (those two especially) put that good man and his family through publicly. But, as his family quoted from the Psalms, “weeping endures for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
At my most distraught because of what Joe Biden was doing, I picked up my Bible in tears and prayed. I opened it to Psalm 64. That passage brought immediate calm, and for the first time I believed that Justice Thomas would be confirmed and everything was going to be alright, in spite of anything they might do to him. It just seemed to fit and be the answer to what was happening.
Psalm 64:
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

I sat through the whole Judge Thomas hearing fiasco.
Anita Hill is/was a slighted woman. She set her cap for Judge Thomas, and followed him twice to new jobs. It did not bother her that he was happily married. She wanted him, and if she couldn't have him, then no one could. Her character witnesses were completely unbelievable. Judge Thomas did not get to be a judge while chasing skirts. He had to exercise extreme care in NOT doing anything off-color. (sorry about that)
And when he finally objected to his lynching, his remarks were perfectly timed and uttered in precisely the correct way.
Despite Hill's lying, she was rewarded anyway. Disgusting.
Judge Thomas is a hero of mine. Joe Biden is not a hero.

Lest we forget, she followed after him to two different government agencies.
This unfair and very public mistreatment of Clarence Thomas created the RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION within Andrew Breitbart which became an overpowering force.
There are many Americans who do not feel that Andrew passed naturally. I'm one of those.
He simply was confounding and turning back the media indoctrination that we succumbed to and are only NOW calling BS on it.
The leadership of BOTH parties are so corrupt they no longer answer to the People.
President Trump has cut through that and now the demonrat socialist have exposed the extreme views which are so out of touch with reality, that they make fools out of themselves.
The media is in an incestous relationship with the demonrat socialists creating the "shiny objects" and taking our attention away from their own failures. When they WILL NOT report on cold blooded murders, stings of child sex trafficing, and corruption among the socialists trying to overthrow this country, you know in your heart that you much not waste your vote to support those who advocate our destruction.

I remember the Thomas hearings. It's one of the reasons today that I despise Joe Biden for his display during that 'public lynching' of Clarence Thomas. Anita Hill is the equivalent of Balsey Ford a lying low life.

She was lying through her teeth. A friend of mine was there.
Before there was Kamala Harris, there was Anita Hill. The only difference is that Clarence Thomas was no slimeball Willie Brown.

Of course she endorsed him. He was in on the scam in the first place. He and Howard Metzenbaum both. Thomas may very well have felt some humiliation, having this take place on national television. But he held his temper until the appropriate time. I cheered his angry speech completely, for he was right. Biden and the rest attempted to destroy him with the most vile of accusations. But I am glad that he is more than that point of his career. He is a brilliant Justice, and Biden and Hill are pathetic.

And the Anita Hill mantra will live forever (because it can be used for soo many occasions).
It's the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence.

Anita Hill is a liberal Democrat, so it is not surprising that she would claim to support Biden in the upcoming election. Remember Biden was a big part of the last public lynching try against a Black man, Clarance Thomas, in DC.

I saw some of Thomas' confirmation hearings in the recent biopic about Thomas. Biden was a clown. The problem liberals have is that they want conviction with no proof even when their charges fly in the face of everything known about the person they are accusing. Thomas had/has an excellent reputation. Hill, like Ford with Kavanaugh, had NO proof of her story. Maybe her perception was as she stated but she gave no indication prior to the hearings that she had ANY problems with Thomas, maintaining contact with him throughout. She apparently never expressed any concerns to Thomas. She was demanding that, based on charges she summoned up out of thin air, charges that she had never before voiced over much time spent around Thomas, that Thomas be denied a position on the SCOTUS.
Unlike what the Left asserts, it is not a matter of believing one person or the other, it is an evaluation of the believability of the evidence; in this case, nothing beyond Hill's words. In our system of justice, evidence is required. Even considering moral or ethical evaluation, proof of behavior is required. By Hill's standards, literally anyone could be accused and damned based on the accusation alone. That is insane.
Yet Biden allowed the farce to proceed. It was a lynching indeed and it was attempted at the hands of the dems.
The FACT that Anita Hill finds Biden "OK" simply reinforces the situational ethics of the dems. When it is a useful one of their own, like PROVEN sexual abuser BJ Clintoon and his enabler, Hillary who also assaulted BJ's victims, that's "OK". Creepy, Gropey, hair sniffy, Uncle Joe is "OK" because he is the dem nominee. The women of the Left completely invalidate their position and cast aside their standing and their power by accepting this corruption in their midst. Anita Hill has lowered herself and proven that her concerns about Thomas were not worthy to be considered. After all, by accepting Biden, she has cast them aside herself.

allow me to offer another quick history lesson for you people.
As the first set of Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings drew to an end, Dead Ted Kennedy assigned his operatives to stand outside of the EEOC building, asking every woman exiting the building, at the end of the work day, if they had any dirt on Clarence Thomas.
No one did, but one person told the operatives to0 talk with Anita Hill, a former employee 0of the EEOC, who had worked for Thomas at the Department of Education, and then followed Thomas to the EEOC.
Hill was talked to, perhaps by Dead Ted, or his chief of staff, who was, I rerall;, one Stephen Breyer. Anita Hill was teaching at Oral Roberts University, by the way. anita was told that all she had to do was to offer a written statement to the Judiciary Committee,m and that alone would force Thomas to withdraw. They lied to her.
Dead Ted Kennedy took the written statement to braindead Joe Biden Biden had had brain surgery twice in 1988, and seemed to be heavily medicated, and Dead Ted was probably coked up, and Biden reopened the confirmation hearings.
anita, who had liked Thomas, UNTIL HE MARRIED A WHITE WOMAN, made some silly allegations, claiming Thomas repeatedly asked her out on dates, commented in front of her and others, 'who put a pubic hair on my diet coke can' and that anita overheard Clarence describe a porn movie called Long Dong Silver.
Anita offered just one witness to corroborate anything - a woman who was a worker compensation referee in California. The woman testified that Anita had called her and told her that her boss was sexually harrassing her, and the woman had memory of the time the call took place.
It turned out that Clarence Thomas had moved from Education to the EEOC, some time before that.
I would like to think that God didn't take kindly to Dead Ted's behavior. Dead Ted died of brain cancer.
I would like to think that God didn't take kindly to jo Biden's behavior. Jo's son died of brain cancer.
Coincidences? Or am I going crazy?

Judge Thomas' character and reputation remain intact.
Those two low lifes can't damage a man of such high quality.
