Twenty years ago, on October 11, 1991, Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice nominee, addressed the Senate confirmation committee to respond to sexual harassment allegations that were lodged against him by a former colleague. As a conservative judge, Justice Thomas faced near hysterical opposition from liberal politicians and their media toadies. These jackals did everything they could to publicly humiliate this man.
And now as Herman Cain, Republican presidential contender, faces down his own liberal lynch mob, let’s step back 20 years to witness the courage and dignity of Justice Thomas as he drew the political line in that Senatorial sandbox. You will notice that the old BlowHard, Joe Biden, and that debauched philandering fraud, Ted Kennedy, are prominently featured in this kangaroo court of congressional malfeasance.
I agree with your assessment of that self-righteous pack of wolves from the Left. They will make as much as they can of this.
However, I believe somebody like Romney was behind this lurid little leak. He seems, to me, to be absolutely without a moral compass. Ken-Doll has found actual competition for the nomination in Herman Cain. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if his people are trying to sabotage Cain.
There’s been a lot of speculation on conservative blogs about Romney’s campaign being involved in this smear. If it turns out that his people did indeed start this, then I think Mister Flip/Flop’s candidacy is dead in the water.
Thanks for posting the video. I remember the event so well but I had forgotten how passionate Judge Thomas’ speech was. I just finished watching Herman Cain on FOX’s Center Seat, and it is so eery how similar these two men are,in their character, their love of public service and their commitment to doing the right thng. Seeing Kennedy, of all people! Ted Kennedy! looking as if he was ready to pounce his GOD-like judgement on this man…..totally made me sick!

A bunch of white liberal reprobates sitting in judgement over a black man–yep, it was sickening.
I used to like Bret Baier, but man o man, the firing squad round table questioning and doubting of Mr Cain by the daily-pundits was so hard to watch, I eventually literally turned it off. I know I’m singing to the choir, but did we see ANYTHING like this re BHO? I’m steaming mad! Somehow I think loitering with leftist terrorists was paramount, deserving of swift and certain judgement. Is it too late?
Fox News too often feels honor bound to rip their own to prove they’re ‘fair and balanced”. Just who do they think is tuning in each night to watch their programming?
Thank you (I guess) for posting this. I watched the vid at some point during an attack of insomnia last morning. Not sure I have seen it before . . . A chilling speech that should be viewed from time to time, especially by a certain segment of our society; to see and hear that man plead for his humanity, surrounded by those baby-faced mean-spirited libs . . . sickening indeed.
Support Cain!
It was great to see his support in the polls go up after all this media trashing.
Brings back such searing memories. As you say, it’s revolting to watch those despicable windbags and frauds on the committee preening and posturing.
Yep, disgusting is the word.
