Thank you for bringing up Thomas and Hill's charges of sexual harassment. Once again, the GOP outrage machine flips back and forth shamelessly. They had no problem with sexual harassment when it was their boy. It was only when it was a Democrat charged with sexual harassment that suddenly people like you started using words like, how did you put it, "womanizing scumbag"?
The left was hardly lock step behind Anita Hill. I seem to remember Democrats were actually divided on the issue of Thomas' nomination. But let that go. Supreme Court nominees are held to a higher standard of behavior during their nomination.
The circumstance behind Thomas and Clinton are decidedly different. For instance, Thomas only had one accuser, while Clinton was accused by Paula Jones of sexual harassment. Kathleen Willey accused Clinton of groping her in a hallway. Juanita Broaddrick accused Clinton of rape.

Clinton also had affairs with Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky, and Elizabeth Gracen(Clinton denied this one....but how much is his denial worth?).
The claim that Clinton is a lying, womanizing, sleezebag has a lot more substance to it than does a similar claim against Thomas. If Thomas had been accused by multiple women in the way Clinton had....Thomas would have not survived the nomination process. He would have ended up just like Herman Cain who was doing alright after the first accusation of sexual misconduct....but whose support from the right crumbled when multiple accusations came to light. The right isn't as forgiving toward sexual predators as is the left.

Now, maybe I missed every single instance of it, somehow. I have been scarce for several weeks. Maybe you aren't paying complete lip service to the idea of impartiality because you think it makes you look better to pretend to be critical of both. But, of course, we all know better.
You do not see me defending the republicans....not like you, DP, Brian37, Parker, and the rest defend the democrats. The reason it looks like I don't attack the republicans is because there aren't that many people of this forum defending the republicans. Attacking republicans in this forum amounts to circlejerking. I'm not interested in circlejerkiing.
