The GOP will stop at nothing. Dawson Leery Feb 2019 #71

Not odd at all. The Republicans are now stealing elections and taking Hortensis Feb 2019 #3

Not only could Washington Post not confirm, they said there were red flags. peacefrogman Feb 2019 #4

I wish being registered Democrat guaranteed she was a respectable person Hortensis Feb 2019 #8

I so wonder what the "red flags" were? Cha Feb 2019 #10

That is the exact way the the NY Post and Fox worked handed in hand to plant stories.... Historic NY Feb 2019 #80

The Washington Post did not say there were red flags. They refuted this in their article today. octoberlib Feb 2019 #18

Thanks for the information. peacefrogman Feb 2019 #45

They also said (from the same article): George II Feb 2019 #98

They did not say there were red flags melman Feb 2019 #19

Thanks for the information. peacefrogman Feb 2019 #46

No, the WA Post said they hadn't found confirmation OR red flags. n/t pnwmom Feb 2019 #31

actually that was fairfax representative who said red flags Fresh_Start Feb 2019 #64

Thanks for letting me know. That is them coming out calling Fairfax on that. That matters. peacefrogman Feb 2019 #82

It still doesn't make her story credible. EffieBlack Feb 2019 #83

"It still doesn't make her story credible." Nor did I say it did. Is there a competition peacefrogman Feb 2019 #84

I don't know what to say. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #6

Okay atreides1 Feb 2019 #52

????? DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #70

It appears on a right-wing site, that justifies your caution. saidsimplesimon Feb 2019 #7

I smell ratfucking going on here for 2naSalit Feb 2019 #9

Zack-ly it's all ratf*ing now FakeNoose Feb 2019 #11

Doesn't anyone think it's odd that it's both men from Virginia? blueinredohio Feb 2019 #12

Not odd at all. The rightwing is very successful at teardown strategies. Nt lostnfound Feb 2019 #13

Complete coincidence jberryhill Feb 2019 #41

While I totally agree with your take on this situation and your inclination to tread "very lightly" Atticus Feb 2019 #14

When this broke last week, we heard demands that Northam quit Hassler Feb 2019 #15

No one is trying to "excuse" Fairfax EffieBlack Feb 2019 #17

We don't have photographic proof of Northam's conduct! NotAPuppet Feb 2019 #22

Oh please EffieBlack Feb 2019 #23

You're entitled to your opinion! NotAPuppet Feb 2019 #24

The problem is not that there's no evidence of Northam being a racist. EffieBlack Feb 2019 #25

On your marks, get set..... jberryhill Feb 2019 #32

"---calling Northam a racist without any evidence", Gracie? Not to put too fine a point on it Atticus Feb 2019 #77

Where's the evidence? NotAPuppet Feb 2019 #85

I am tempted to quote what Barney Frank had to say about arguing with a dining room Atticus Feb 2019 #88

Yes, we do. We have a video of him admitting to putting shoe polish on his face pnwmom Feb 2019 #33

I noticed that too...nt 2naSalit Feb 2019 #69

Give us one believable reason why someone who was NOT in such an offensive Atticus Feb 2019 #74

Well Stated. Divide and Conquer. MarcA Feb 2019 #26

When there is credible evidence against Fairfax, MH1 Feb 2019 #93

Excellent explanation! EffieBlack Feb 2019 #96

I don't think we can hold anyone responsible for phantom allegations. Vinca Feb 2019 #16

I'm about where you are on this. The Post also talked to people he went to school with and octoberlib Feb 2019 #20

I think this is a ruse...they want to avoid state charges in VA Baltimike Feb 2019 #21

I have no problem saying . . . peggysue2 Feb 2019 #27

If it was just her and Fairfax in a room. Blue_true Feb 2019 #48

Agreed. peggysue2 Feb 2019 #51

I must admit on Northam, O am all over the place. Blue_true Feb 2019 #60

Another sensitive question, but first one of fact: *Did* somebody herself post the allegation? UTUSN Feb 2019 #28

To answer your question - because the circumstances are completely different EffieBlack Feb 2019 #38

I agree 100% with your take on the Northam situation. Blue_true Feb 2019 #49

Yip, first I have *no* answer to fact, did the subject (woman) make allegation herself? UTUSN Feb 2019 #67

I don't buy the "he looked at the picture and thought it was him but was wrong" EffieBlack Feb 2019 #75

She went to a newspaper.....did she also go to the police?? nt UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #29

It's for the purpose of setting up Herman Cain jberryhill Feb 2019 #30

Lordy, Lordy peggysue2 Feb 2019 #36

There was an allegation last night that Northam was Jarqui Feb 2019 #34

A big difference is that Christine Blasey Ford came forward, told her story publicly and offered EffieBlack Feb 2019 #39

What substantial corroboration? LisaL Feb 2019 #42

A photograph EffieBlack Feb 2019 #43

The question "what substantial corroboration?" was directed to the Ford allegation jberryhill Feb 2019 #53

Aw - missed that. Thanks. EffieBlack Feb 2019 #54

This message was self-deleted by its author jberryhill Feb 2019 #56

I'm surprised that I have to explain to anyone here what corroboration Blasey Ford had, but EffieBlack Feb 2019 #58

That is a very big difference Jarqui Feb 2019 #44

I'm happy to weigh in on this. yardwork Feb 2019 #35

Excellent point, yardwork! Cha Feb 2019 #87

Question for info--is accuser white? Have avoided all stories about mess. bobbieinok Feb 2019 #37

She's black EffieBlack Feb 2019 #40

Well, I don't know about the accusation against Fairfax, but I do know Republicans. denverbill Feb 2019 #47

Wow. I know so many people that have been burned for less. Forced oral sex? Wow. To the top. janmichael3 Feb 2019 #50

welcome to DU! gopiscrap Feb 2019 #79

Did you lose your Cha Feb 2019 #86

Effie, I have no inside info, but I see this as an attempted Double Ratfuck Stinky The Clown Feb 2019 #55

It likely is EffieBlack Feb 2019 #59

I sure hope Fairfax survives this. . . . Stinky The Clown Feb 2019 #61

I think they messed up by throwing the dirt at Fairfax while Northam is still trying to hang on EffieBlack Feb 2019 #63

I hope Democrats/Fairfax can play this to advantage. Stinky The Clown Feb 2019 #66

The allegation was made first in 2017. LisaL Feb 2019 #73

She went to the Post in 2017 and then dropped it completely until it was brought up yesterday EffieBlack Feb 2019 #76

Sounds fishy to me. jalan48 Feb 2019 #62

unfortunately I think we are going to lose a Governor to racism Horse with no Name Feb 2019 #65

I seriously doubt that's going to happen. EffieBlack Feb 2019 #78

It doesn't have to happen if we stand by our people. A 35 year old picture is not reason enough Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #92

The AG is a Democrat. Virginia Constitution Article V, Section 16: Marcuse Feb 2019 #72

But, according to some people here, they can knock out the AG and then a Republican will get the job EffieBlack Feb 2019 #81

What they can do is call for an election for LT governor if Northam resigns. Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #90

Make no mistake, this is a coup by Republicans for Virginia...and we should not cooperate with any Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #89

Northam's continued presence is an insult and affront to every black person in his state EffieBlack Feb 2019 #91

And Fairfax's isn't to every woman? temporary311 Feb 2019 #94

How is a man an affront and insult to every woman in a state solely because EffieBlack Feb 2019 #95

Hopefully you're right, temporary311 Feb 2019 #97

I see...but I feel a Republican would be worse. They are coming for Fairfax as well in order to Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #100

I started a new thread, which is pertinent to this: MineralMan Feb 2019 #99

The Republicans are trying to invalidate an election. LisaM Feb 2019 #101
