In 1983 (It could have been 1982 or 1985 or 1977 or it might have been last week), I was at a party at Yale. It could have been Moravian College or St. Charles Borneo Seminary. I'm no longer sure. I do know I was totally plastered. Come to think of it, I may have been sober. Anyway, someone pulled out a fake penis, and next thing you know, Brett Kavanaugh was sticking his sausage right up my nostrils. Hokie Joe was laughing the whole time, too. It's a good thing I have a big schnozz and Brett has a tiny peeper.
Seven people were with me, and each has sworn he won't back me up.
My book will be out in November.
Updated 9 am: What is happening to Kavanaugh is Sexual McCarthyism!
Like many things, it began on college campuses. The weaponization of sexual assault allegations is made possible because the far left has deemed due process of law to be inconvenient when it comes to sexual assault. This, coupled with the mantra "the victim should always be believed," (and yes, that is an actual standard being pushed), and you can see how this "victim's" allegations make perfect sense to some folks.
Both the far left and the far right want to take some of our rights away. They just differ on which ones.
Good satire! Just shows how absurd the Kavanaugh side show has become. There are sinister forces behind this smear job. One can only hope they are exposed. A good man's reputation is being trashed by the left.
ReplyDeleteIf I can get a book deal out of it, I will tell all!
ReplyDeleteHow do I know the good man's reputation is being trashed? He was picked by a man who was said "Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything". When any woman finally comes forward, she has to endure a boat load of verbal abuse.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to this, I always thought about that when these things cropped up. I
ReplyDeleteThis is your shame and the shame of many old white men. You do not understand the movement. It is time for women to speak up. You are no friend of women. You regularly attack them. You obviously have issues with women of strength.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot control all women with your bully tactics.
^^^truth! Bernie should be ashamed of himself. Attacking women is what he likes to do. He is no defender of rights. This is at least the second time he has done something like this in recent months and it is not funny! True colors shine through clearly!
DeleteOld white men invented tampons. You're welcome ladies.
ReplyDeleteTell me. Is the reason that your story is here is because the Times, New Yorker and Star rejected it? Even Avenatti rejected it? You must be hurting. The Argentina Senate did call. They want you to testify. Not on the subject at hand. How to fix a broken toilet?
ReplyDeleteI was diddled by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I've been chronically vomiting for over 30 years. Believe us victims. The nausea is real.

I suspect we are nearing the end of the death by accusation hysteria. It is now down to, I had a dream and was molested by Bernie Ohare, really a nightmare. And now he should forever be banned from all human endevours. It is time to put a limitation on old accusations. put people under oath and produce evidence and prosecute false accusations. Also lets look at real actions not something someone said or thought.
ReplyDelete"McCarthyism" is defined as the use of tactics involving personal attacks on individuals by means of widely publicized indiscriminate allegations especially on the basis of unsubstantiated charges; broadly: defamation of character or reputation through such tactics.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference between what was done by Senator McCarthy and what is being done today to Judge Kavanaugh by the Democrats ?
6:44 McCarthy paid a political price. Cavanaugh won't. He will be rewarded with a lifetime appointment to the US Supreme Court. He was appointed by a man, Trump, who made his name by "personal attacks on individuals by means of widely publicized indiscriminate allegations especially on the basis of unsubstantiated charges".
ReplyDeleteYou ought to rename this blog "Lehigh Valley Resistance, Regurgitate, And Rubbish" (LV3R). Such a group of critical TDS psychosis patients on this blog is only rivaled by the swamp in Washington, California, and NYC.
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening to Kavanaugh is nothing less than sexual McCarthyism.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of trash bag writes stuff about themselves in their yearbook?
ReplyDeleteCarl, you are equating Kavanaugh and Trump. I know many fine people who support Trump or who have been chosen by Trump. What's going on here,and it is being fueled by the media as well, is absolutely ridiculous. I hope Justice Kavanaugh remembers the importance of the presumption of innocence when he is finally confirmed.
ReplyDeleteThough most Americans may disagree with Kavanaugh's views, I am sure they are disgusted by the rush to judgment by shrieking partisans who now equate a mere accusation, made 36 years after the fact, with truth.
Bernie, we are in agreement that leaking these allegations against Ford's will was a shameful act.
ReplyDeleteYou were in the highly unfair situation of being falsely accused by someone who by all appearances is mentally ill. You sued and won but your reputation was injured.
Might your experience with a false accusation be influencing your views on this matter? Might you be generalizing based on one experience with one unstable individual?
Earlier you wrote that "people who wait 36 years to make accusations are almost always liars." Since you're an evidence-based guy, what evidence do you have in support of this statement?
These allegations might be bogus, or they might be credible. I'm inclined to hear from the accuser(s) before forming an opinion. I can think of far easier ways to make money than enduring a) death threats b) family relocation and c) public grilling about one's high school sex life.
Somehow seems appropriate...
ReplyDeletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street
This tragedy that became a farce is now a crime, the crime of purposeful defamation of an innocent man. The Democrats are so determined to prevent Kavanaugh from becoming a justice on the Supreme Court, they have exposed themselves as the lowlife cheaters they are, without shame or any sense of decency.
ReplyDeleteWhen they do not win, they will do anything to undo their loss. This is what has motivated the Democrats since the 2016 election. From the moment Trump won, they set about their plans to remove him from office by any means necessary. The cabal that put this plan into motion cares nothing for the law, the Constitution, or the people they set out to ruin as they have Brett Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh is a turd whose only qualification for the SC is being a lapdog for the Federalist Society who have paid a TON of money in donations to push their agenda at the expense of what's left of the Republican party for the next decade or more...
ReplyDeleteDespite misguided claims, there has been no "Mandate" election result (Double digit % popular, plus a 50+ electoral victory) since Reagan in '84. There is no overall need, want or desire for hard right or far left policies, agendas and programs, yet both parties and their idiot cheerleaders live for nothing more than force feeding their ass-hat ideologies down the throats of all Americans.
Kavanaugh will most likely be confirmed despite only 40% approval rating which is in line with Trump's...

Why are Republicans signing onto this Kamikaze mission? November is already looking bleak for Republicans with independent voters...
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/independent-voters-a-major-headache-for-the-gop-as-midterm-elections-loom
Democrats are going to beat Republicans for multiple election cycles with this stick and to compound matters, Republicans have not in any way shape or form managed to create any meaningful outreach or in roads for women or minority voters. They are far to reliant on aging white baby boomers, who unfortunately have a limited shelf life and who themselves will soon to be increasingly leaning on medicaid and social security programs they've loved to rail against.
"When they do not win, they will do anything to undo their loss. This is what has motivated the Democrats since the 2016 election. From the moment Trump won, they set about their plans to remove him from office by any means necessary. "
ReplyDeleteAnd Republicans and the Tea Party rolled out the red carpet for Obama?
Stop being so naive and/or dishonest with yourself. Its sadly what American politics is these days and we are all to blame, its zero sum, party over country, rather see the other side lose than both sides win.
BOTH sides have their share of pin heads and losers cheering for them, and more sadly actually representing them in government.
We need more people to wake the f*#k up in this country and ignore the skidmarks of society on the left and the right.
10:21, I disagree with Kavanaugh’s views too. But I also disagree with your assessment of him. He is extremely knowledgeable and well read. He is highly qualified. I understand and can respect people who disagree withhis views who will vote against him. But I have no respect for the McCarthy tactics being employed. The media is at fault here, too. It has breathlessly joined in the bashing. After all, sex sells. But the fact is that a person who waits 36 years to make her accusations, and unleashes them just as he is about to be confirmed, is unworthy of belief. Yes, women are often victimized by predatory men. But men are also victimized by obviously false accusations that are treated as Gospel.
ReplyDeleteThe Martin Luther King "I have a dream" speech, was spoken into microphones paid for by Bill Cosby. It took 30 women and many years to destroy the Cosby legacy, but they finally got him and his kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many women it will take to get Kavanaugh but it's never a difficulty to find them. Look how many serial killers get married in jail.
Anyone with money can purchase these take-down services. It's likely the guy selling 3-d gun plans under the guise of free speech was just taken down by such services.
If I'm Kavanaugh, and innocent, I demand an independent investigation which proves that accusations are lies.
ReplyDeleteIf there's any chance they are valid, I'd do what he's doing right nos.
Canary, my own views have certainly been influenced by what happened to me. I was hauled in front of a judge seven times by a woman who kept adding things to her original accusations. To this day, I am leery of speaking to a woman privately unless I really know her. Despite winning at every level, there are those who still choose to believe these false reports. At the courthouse, one department head called me into her office and asked me if the women who work there should be concerned. It was a humiliating experience, and unlike Kavanaugh, I’m no saint.
ReplyDeleteAs for my claim that people who wait 36 years to make these accusations being liars, my choice of words is poor. I believe it is more accurate to say they are mistaken. My basis for making this statement is that numerous studies show that, over time, the video camera in our brains distorts what actually happened into something that sometimes bears little resemblance to reality. This is called confabulation. Numerous studies also reveal that, contrary to what you might think, eye witness testimony is actually the worst evidence of what happened.
I can put this all together for you but it would take time. Someone said here that only a very small percentage of rape claims are false. Ibelieve that is true when we are talking about the immediate past. But so far as I know, there are no studies evaluating the truth of claims made decades after the fact. I do know that almost every civilization attaches little weight to accusations made decades after an act. That is why we have statutes of limitation and repose.
Take a look at the 80 yo priest at OLPH. He has been removed from the ministry based on the accusations of an 80 yo woman about a incident 40 years ago. This priest believes he has been confused with another who was a predator. I do not think this woman lied. She confabulated.
I this case, making these accusations public in the 11th hour is a disgusting display of partisanship.
If I'm Kavanaugh, and innocent, I demand an independent investigation which proves that accusations are lies.”
ReplyDeleteTranslation - Let’s delay this until we have a Senate who refuses to confirm.
A highly-accomplished judge with an impeccable record was forced to go on national TV last night and deny unsubstantiated accusations he ran a gang rape club while in college.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats have gone full-bore criminally insane and it's time to put the party out of it's misery. You can do that by voting Republican on November 6th.
"making these accusations public in the 11th hour is a disgusting display of partisanship."
ReplyDeleteIt's more of a display of the services provided to those that can afford them.
The service providers care nothing of partisanship or criminality as shown when Harvey Weinstein hired Black Cube to discredit his victims.
What you're seeing is a product that can be purchased.
Anyone who reads this blog even casually should know I oppose Donald Trump. I also disagree with his nomination of Brett Kavanaugh bc i also disagree with most of his views. But he is impeccably qualified to serve and I discount these 11th hour attacks on his integrity as a sad display of sexual McCarthyism by partisans who exalt winning over basic decency. They rightly condemn Trump's amorality but have shown they are just as bad.
ReplyDeleteThe reason this is coming out now is because up until this point. Women who were sexually assaulted, were publicly embarrassed for coming forward painted as whores and told they were asking for it.: See Anita Hill. The Dam is simply breaking and everything. That has been coverup and suppressed via social pressure is coming out into the open.
ReplyDelete"The reason this is coming out now is because up until this point."
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I didn't realize Juanita Broaddrrick, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Kathleen Wiley, etc. didn't have more of an impact.
But I guess some folks didn't take THOSE accusations seriously and are only now catching up.

Somehow I ended up in the basement of the Vatican were I had seen more ugly people. The pope than was one I am sure and they were killing, raping and drinking the blood of other infants.
ReplyDeleteLater on in life my mother was a sideshow act on the big island and I became America's President. My plans to destroy and dismantle were going along well until the real ringmaster showed up on the seen. Now I am back to a grumbling groveling imp of the soiled underwear underworld.

ReplyDeletethe real issue is, we should only allow one privileged white preppy from the same perverted private school on the "supreme" court.
ReplyDeleteThat’s not the “real” issue. He is a conservative and that’s what bothers you. I see nothing in the Constitution that bars white people from serving on the nation’s highest court, even if they are wealthy. I see nothing that makes Georgetown Prep any more “perverted” than any other high school.

Yes, whoever leaked Ford's letter -- which she had requested to keep confidential -- did a horrible thing. Most likely it was a Dem.
I wonder if the leaker felt justified because of refusal by Repubs to hold a hearing on Merrick Garland. Did someone conclude that one dirty move justifies another?
Now commentators are wondering: in the unlikely event that Dems take the Senate, might they refuse to confirm any Trump appointee for two years?
I miss John McCain already.
It is becoming more and more evident to most Americans that the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh being exposed as thin set-ups, and Blasey Ford still raising ridiculous demands with regards to her appearance in front of Congress on on Thursday is quite doubtful.
ReplyDeleteOn Thursday, Americans will see this genuine man testifying in front of Congress that these alleged acts could never have been performed by him, and the evidence supports him. The victimization of him and his family by the zealots in the Democratic party will be evident, and this ginned up "scandal" will receive massive blowback from Americans not consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The appropriate response will occur on election day when voters enter the polling booths and vote.

Judge Kavanaugh will be an excellent Supreme Court Judge. He is being attacked by the liberal democrats only because he was nominated by President Trump and they still cannot accept the fact that Trump is President. Where were these so-called accusations when Judge Kavanaugh was named to the Appellate Court for Washington DC? That is when any accusations should have surfaced. Because they did not, they are more fake news dreamed up by sore losers.

Karen Monahan was not Ellison’s wife, the issue had nothing to do with “Sharia law,” and the picture was not one of Monahan but rather an image associated with the mid-1980s case of Tracey Thurman (who sued a city police department for failing to protect her from her abusive husband) and the 1989 TV movie based on it.

Some of the statements by Democrats not just resemble McCarthyism, they resemble the kind of Stalinist show trials you saw in the Soviet Union, that merely making an accusation is enough if it’s in the greater interests of the party and the state
ReplyDeleteBernie is right. These women want attention and they also are democrats. People are responsible for their actions when they get sloppy drunk and that includes women.

Of course if the FBI does find evidence of these allegations to be true you good ole boys will scream "deep state!" Including you Bernie??

Lump me in with those who believe in silly things like due process, the presumption of innocence and who does not automatically believe all accusations of sexual misconduct. Kavana deal to me. ugh is NOT a person who I want in the Supreme Court. But if in chasing the devil, you chop down all the trees in the forest to get him, where do you hide when he turns on you? What you and the left are actually advocating is the wholesale abandonment of some principles that matter a great deal to me.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why an FBI investigation is something that should be called for, in particular by Kavanaugh himself if he is as innocent as he says. Also let's not forget this is not a trial, it's a job interview for suitability to the highest court in the land. If an FBI investigation and multiple accounts of drunken debauchery are shown as a pattern he rightly should be rejected as a judge whose rulings could hold society in their grsp.
DeleteHuntress, Although I am ornery, I welcome comments from people who disagree with me, and I get plenty of them. Rs often comment here. It is important to hear from all sides.
ReplyDeleteKavanaugh isn't going to make it. The poor polling #'s and the smoke of these multiple allegations is going to make it too easy for Flake, Collins and/or Corker to vote "No" and sink the nomination.
ReplyDeleteFlake/Corker could use that as some sort of spring board towards a 2020 run as an independent candidacy or potentially to primary Trump, but that would be a longer shot.
Republicans are very likely going to be destroyed in November, Trump will be effectively neutered for final 2 years with Dems obstructing and investigating everything, but then the economy will tank which will open the door for a plausible independent candidacy.
It seems that both parties blindly support their respective position or candidate regardless of facts or a back-story that are often questionable. This Kavanaugh attack by the Ds comes very late in the process. This long-time R has been mulling over changing party affiliations but I would not be comfortable as a D in view of the Kavanaugh attack. It may be time to register as an Independent.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ September 25, 2018 at 4:56 PM
ReplyDeleteThe comparison between Cosby and Kavanaugh is not exactly black and white. Cosby was accused, arrested and tried, (twice), within the statute of limitations, and found guilty and convicted by a jury of his peers. He also used drugs to incapacitate his victims. We do not know what happened, or didn't happen, regarding Judge Kavanaugh. 36-year-old accusations have been made. Those accusations, as of yet, have been unsubstantiated. Both the accuser and the accused will have a chance to speak to the allegations. To believe 36-year-old accusations without credible substantiation is foolish and ludicrous. No, that is not the same thing as shaming the victim, nor really does it have to do with sexual assault. It has to do with innocent until proven guilty. Maybe Judge Kavanaugh is indeed unfit to be a Supreme Court Judge. But one must entertain at least the possibility that the accusations and their odd timing, along with the facts that Feinstein held on to these claims since July, and these accusations have not come up at any previous Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, has a political motivation. Sometimes facts are not convenient to the cause, but that does not negate them.

"Cosby was accused, arrested and tried, (twice), within the statute of limitations, and found guilty and convicted by a jury of his peers."
This is what a long-term take-down program looks like. Ever since Cosby paid for those microphones for MLK, who was at the time the most hated man in America, at a time when the FBI was actively carrying out "disruption" programs against civil rights leaders, as proven by the 1971 break-in of the Media Pa. FBI office by activist. Ever since then when Cosby would tell blacks to pull up they're pants, or go to school, or marry your child's mother, another sexual accusation would surface.
It could be argued this accounts for Cosby's record having nothing other than sexual charges exactly the type of accusations made in the FBI-King suicide letter
Jeff fox said
"He also used drugs to incapacitate his victims"
Alcohol was Kavanaugh's alleged drug of choice, the original date rape drug.
Jeff fox said
"We do not know what happened, or didn't happen, regarding Judge Kavanaugh"
I agree but this is as true for Kavanaugh as Cosby.
Allegations of this sort come out whenever they come out and how they come out. Deal with it.
ReplyDeleteIf it happens again, hopefully the Judiciary Committee will be willing to investigate any reasonable allegation as opposed to rushing it through on an arbitrary timeline. This approach has nothing to do with party.
The Republicans are screwing their pooch with their approach to Kavanaugh.
A large portion of Trump voters are not Trumpers or Trumpists. We think he's vulgar and rude and disgusting and not too sharp. We didn't vote in support of Trump. We voted to keep a ghastly opponent out. Until Ds grasp this concept, which has proven extraordinarily difficult, they're still in trouble. Trumpers and Trumpists comprise only a portion of Trump's voters. It shouldn't be difficult to use moderate candidates to pick up middle lane voters who don't personally like Trump. Then, you nominate a whackjob like Wild and rail against a Trump-hating blogger for daring to demand due process. You're just not getting it. You're so not getting it.
ReplyDelete"reasonable allegation"
ReplyDelete35-year old repressed memories from a drunken party, where each of the three witnesses you identified deny any knowledge, is not a reasonable allegation. Claiming so is a disservice to those with reasonable allegations. Let's be honest. It's a political game to run out the clock and get a pro-abortion nominee. Ds pulled tricks to beat Bork. Rs did so to beat Garland, and so on. The stakes are high and no tactics seem off limits. A little reading will tell you SCOTUS fights have been like this from the country's earliest days.
Remember when Reid accuses Romney of not paying taxes for ten years and then straight up admitted he lied about that after the election? These are the people we’re dealing with. Why do dems play so dirty these days? What happened to the days of JFK and Carter? It’s a different breed these days and it is down right disgusting.

ReplyDeleteHuntress, The FBI has already investigated Kavanaugh six times. Senate Dems want a seventh investigation so they can delay this until the next election. If these allegations had a little more meat on their bones, I doubt anyone would need to ask. But they don’t.
ReplyDeleteYou know that the investigation of Clarence Thomas that was reopened after the Anita Hill allegations only took a few days, right? The point isn't a criminal investigation that drags on forever, it is to have a neutral party (the FBI) gather the facts, not partisan senators on both sides. They need to ask for the investigation to be reopened precisely because it is a background investigation, not a criminal investigation.
ReplyDeleteA neutral party has already investigated Kavanaugh six times. Diane Feinstein chose to sit on a complaint made to her in July, and only released it AFTER the confirmation hearing was over, in a bad-faith attempt to delay. I would support an FBI investigation of Diane Feinstein, who should be censured for abuse of her office.
ReplyDeleteCome on Bernie, you have to know that's a steaming pile of crap unless you are deliberately ignoring the particulars of this story's timeline. First of all, the initial letter was sent to Dr. Ford's congresswoman, who then forwarded it to Feinstein on July 30. Feinstein did not make any public statement about the letter, in an attempt to maintain Ford's confidentiality, until after The Intercept had already reported its existence. For her part, Ford had gone to the Washington Post with the story weeks before it broke, but the Post didn't run it because Ford didn't want to be named.
ReplyDeleteStop pretending you know more than you do. It doesn't make you look smart, it makes you look like a jerk who doesn't take sexual assault seriously (which is actually backed up by your dismissive coverage on the recent grand jury report on the Catholic church).
