While Liberals would not like to hear this, there's a huge difference. The woman in the Duke Lacrosse story was a worker in the sex industry who was at the party to perform as a stripper. And, while these thing occurred after the fact, she was arrested for attempted murder in 2010 and convicted of murder in 2013.

Christine Blasey Ford is a PhD Biostatistician and Psychologist who has a reputation for honesty and integrity. It's an entirely different animal.

The Republicans should count their blessings if she opts not to testify. It's not that Kavanaugh doesn't also have a good reputation. But this is not a stripper who was hired to go to a party and perform.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth

Actually, she has a reputation as a completely psychotic, vindictive bitch who has a HORRIBLE rating at the college where she teaches. Go read some of her class reviews....truly frightening. :shock:

No, he's just regurgitating crap he read on Facebook.
Several far-right news websites, amplified by The Drudge Report, published articles on Monday saying that Christine Ford, the college professor who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempted sexual assault, was a “mad” and “troubled” professor.

But the stories identified the wrong Christine Ford. The real accuser is Christine Blasey Ford, who teaches psychology and statistics at Palo Alto University. The one the right-wing sites targeted was Christine Adams Ford, a professor of human services at California State University, Fullerton.

The incorrect articles went viral, prompting the web sites to pull them down and issue corrections. Those doing so included Gateway Pundit and Grabien, along with right-wing agitator Jack Posobiec.

And I don’t even believe any sexual assault ever occurred in this instance. This blue operation is so poorly hatched it’s laughable. It probably will influence some low information blue voters though, so Feinstein isn’t completely stupid.
that isn't the crime its the coverup.

There is at least one other woman saying that she was a year behind the alleged victim in high school and that the event was known and discussed at school. And the alleged victim herself is calling for the FBI to investigate - not a smart move if your story isn't straight. The kid is a weasel and has no business sitting on the Supreme Court. Surely they can find another cleaner candidate than this punk, one who believes that the President is above the law too.

And this lady won’t be bothered to go before Congress. That further proves to me she is either lying or this is truly some ploy to extend all of this the 7 weeks until the midterms are over.

I would say that of the two it's more likely to be a stalling tactic. They already have him perjuring himself on paper so he's probably lying about this incident too - which is the real issue. :coffee:

That's all fine and good, JSO

And 93 and I have already pointed out to different degrees that polygraph tests are unreliable... so you're preaching to the choir

But stand by over the next week or so

You are going to see a wide swath of people (curiously all Democrats) defend polygraph testing as reliable as an atomic clock

The lie detector test doesn't mean shit but I think that her encouraging the FBI to get involved does. Nobody with a lick of sense is going to willingly put themselves in that position if they have anything to hide.

Or she's legitimately scared-as-hell. Her reluctance up to this point, and the fact that she only told a handful of people before Kavanaugh became a household name, seems to point that way.

BTW, that's the biggest thing that there might be legitimacy to this. A few people from HS are saying the story was known, she named Kavanaugh in 2012 to both her husband and therapist, and she wrote the letter before he became the nominee (when his named showed up as a finalist).

Mark Judge's memoirs don't paint a pretty picture either.

But yeah, she's clearly lying about the accusation to get what she wants - every successful woman dreams of one day being forced out of her own home, fearing for her life. And yet we still question why some women want to remain anonymous when making accusations against powerful people...

So are you placing the blame on Diane Feinstein and the Democrats for this mess? She knew about this for how long and said nothing. It was Democrats that leaked this at the last moment for political reasons and forced Ford into being outed. Grassley says in one of his letters that he still wouldn't know who it was if it wasn't for Ford admitting it in a Wash Post article after this was leaked. Ford would have been better off approaching Grassley. Many view him as a partisan hack but his reputation for protecting whistleblowers is pretty good.

I'm still amazed the GOP doesn't simply find a different candidate.

What does Kavanaugh bring which any other conservative judge wouldn't? Why fall on the stake here? No one gives a damn about any moral stand the GOP is making. Young women and men see this (among other GOP actions) and see a party completely out-of-step with them regarding social issues.
Yeah next time just nominate someone like Kagan, with little judicial experience, so there's little paper
