In reply to the discussion: Anita Hill ready to hold Biden accountable [View all]Demsrule86
(68,455 posts)132. In the 1980's it would...if it was so horrible than why put yourself in a position to be alone
with him...would be the question... I don't doubt it was made to look worse than it was...but you had to be perfect to win those early sexual harassment battles. And what about Arlen Specter who behaved horribly? You are judging this hearing by 21st century standards. There was little that you could do if you were in her position. I commend her for coming forward, I wouldn't do it myself. However it was not Biden's fault. It was Thomas's fault and this is political nonsense. She backs a different candidate...and I find her using this distasteful.
If I were to vote in a presidential

Fair point, though, if I recall, Joe's "apology" fell a bit flat. Will have to look at it again.

Not at all... but even Joe admits Anita got a raw deal and was deserving of more support.

Don't get why Joe always does that, given the depth of his political experience.
