If I am in error, then go ahead and educate me. Give me a link to a positive refutation of Dr. Ford’s claims.LeafByNiggle:
Are you making this up as you go. Do you really know what those witnesses said or are you just guessing?
So you don’t have a credible source either? Hmmm… But I do know this. I listened to every word of Dr. Ford’s questioning. If there was a sworn affidavit from any of her friends positively refuting Dr. Ford’s testimony, they would have been brought out by Rachel Mitchel to get Dr. Ford’s reaction. What Mitchel did confront Dr. Ford with is the fact the Dr. Ford’s friends do not remember the events as she described them, and Dr. Ford explained why they likely wouldn’t remember. So that is why I said that there is no positive refutation of Dr. Ford’s testimony by any of her friends.
As I thought, your assertions are invented without first confirming whether your suspicions are accurate.
Already amended.
That is not what projection is all about, and you know it.
The question was addresses to another poster who accused me of projection in the use of the term.
The American Bar Association has also called for an investigation. So has famous trump cupporter Dershowitz. This request cannot fairly be dismissed as simply a political tactic.
Oh, right. So when Mark Judge says he never saw Kavanaugh do what Ford alleges, this general denial relating to everything he ever saw Kavanaugh do would not include the specific denial of Ford’s claim? How does “I never saw…” not include what was alleged?
There appears to be many things Dr. Ford
These things are not surprising for victims of assault.
It is not even a general denial that Kavanaugh did those things. “I never saw” at this point means “I don’t remember seeing…” It is the same thing afte 36 years.LeafByNiggle:

Long ago, when words had actual meanings, “I never…” and “I don’t remember…” were understood differently. As in: “I never hit Johnny” is different than “I don’t remember hitting Johnny.” The second leaves open the possibility that the action might have occurred, but the first is a direct denial. Further, “I never hit anybody” is also a denial about hitting Johnny.
That’s why I qualified it by saying “after 36 years.” If he saw something yesterday like that he could reasonably be expected to remember seeing it today. But if he saw something 36 years ago, while drunk, it is not surprising that he might have no memory of it today. That is why I say that “I never saw…” in this context means the same thing as “I don’t remember seeing…” Now, if he remembered a fact that was in direct contradiction to Dr. Ford’s accusation, such as “Brett and I were touring Europe that summer” that would be a direct denial.LeafByNiggle:

“I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes” is a denial that he ever witnessed Kavanaugh attack anyone, and that would include a denial that he witnessed the alleged attack on Ford. What part of “never saw” any such incident leaves open the possibility he saw the particular incident Ford alleged? A denial that applies to all women would seem to include each particular one. At least it did when words had meaning.
