You seem to assert some crassness that is a misjudgment. I have friends who made them for them selves adn ther daughters, and wore them with their kinds in marches. They were not crass.

I quoted your full remark, then highlighted the attention grabbing part in which you actually impeached a witness on the basis of their political beliefs. Fascinating.

You, I take it, think it’s fine to call Kavanaugh a “sexual predator” without knowing anything of the kind.

Why would you take such a thing. No such thing is on any post of mine.
 
You do understand that the term used for the pink hats is a crass reference to a female body part,correct?
You don’t find that disingenuous that this movement was born out of a outrage at misogyny and disrespect of women by men.That they would use a nasty term to define their movement is ironic,don’t you think?that women subjected their daughters’ to this whole nonsense is pretty irresponsible as well

You cherry picked it in order to alter the meaning of what I said.

here’s what you said. Looks like approval of the poster using the term to me. But if you want to agree that calling Kavanaugh a “sexual predator” is wrong, probably some would think that the right thing to do.

Do you really think that allegations of sexual assault should be dismissed because the accusation comes from someone that you call a " left-winger, “p—y hat wearer” who has an axe to grind with anybody named Kavenaugh? Really?

So no issues with using the actual name of the hat in front of young people?

Don’t you know? It’s okay for liberals to say it in public, but unforgiveable for Trump to say it in private.

Misogyny is thinking a female body part is crass.

Misogyny is thinking the word “p—y” is the part of Trump’s remarks people object to.

So in your opinion, I’m half right then. It’s okay for liberals to say it in public. And it’s ok for Trump to say it in private.

It’s vulgar no matter what. And I don’t think anyone here is saying any female body part is “crass”. Nobody said anything remotely like that.

You keep trying to cast this in terms of a criminal trial where such rights exist, and perhaps implying that if they don’t exist, then they ought to. Perhaps an analogy would help. The SCOTUS hearings are like a job interview. Suppose this were a job interview for a completely different job. Suppose you are applying for the job of coach of the University of Michigan football team. And suppose that during that process, the regents of the university heard from a student at your former job who says that you made sexually suggestive remarks to him in the shower. You might not get to confront that student. If the regents decide the accusation is credible and pass you over for the job, would that be a travesty of justice? Would you say that due process was not afforded to you? The right to face your accuser is reserved only for those cases where you are facing a serious punishment for a criminal act, and I think that is entirely proper. Don’t you?

Justice is justice. Fair is fair. You seem to equivocate on doing the right thing because you view this as a job interview.

I am not equivocating. I am drawing an important distinction. I am avoiding the oversimplification contained in such jewels of wisdom as “Justice is justice. Fair is fair.”
This is no ordinary job…one side wants someone who says he will follow the constitution, the other side wants someone who ensure abortion rights, despite the constitution.

Kavanaugh’s view on the constitution and others’ view of abortion has nothing to do with determining whether Brett Kavanaugh assaulted Christine Blasey Ford.

I would say it has everything to do with it. The allegation is made by the Dems in order to prevent a possible prolife justice from taking a seat on the Court. That’s 100% what Ms. Ford is all about.

Speculation. Is Christine Blasey Ford a Democrat? I don’t know. Do you? Even if she is, it would be an ad hominem to dismiss her allegations because of who you think she is.

Someone as concerned about smearing as you are certainly has some evidence to support this claim.

What will they investigate? She cannot provide a place or a date or a year for that matter.Only one witness apparently? Thirty six years ago?

Do some research on her she is an activist Dem

OK, I have done so. I have found that she is a registered Democrat (as are many other people) and from 2013 to 2017 she contributed less than $100 to Democratic causes. I guess that makes her an “activist” and not to be believed???
