In reply to the discussion: Here's a list of people Tara Reade has accused of assault or harassment. [View all]DFW
(54,341 posts)The cast of characters of bad guys seems odd at best, and it is indeed THIS PARTICULAR ACCUSATION that I'm concerned about. The timing, the background and the personalities reek of fraud. It is Reade whose list (and actions and timing and Putin worship, etc.) seems to put into doubt her proclaimed irresistibility, and I don't buy it. No sane woman goes around looking to get abused. Therefore, one looks to the accused abusers for a clue or a pattern. It not an abused woman I expect to fit a stereotype, but rather her abusers. Reade's "list" list offers only more confusion. If what she has presented so far is the bulk of her story, it seems more the tale of someone looking for attention rather than justice. Ford or Hill she is definitely NOT.
