He creeped me out 32 years ago. When he manipulated the white Democratic males in Congress by saying, "This is a high tech LYNCHING!!!" -- they all put their tails between their legs (and yes, Joe, you were the head of this Committee) and immediately voted the stinker in. By then, who gave a damn what Anita Hill had to say? And why listen to her witnesses, or to the other women whom he had sexually harassed and/or assaulted?

Indeed. Anita Hill was an uppity black woman. Why would all those white guys give her any respect. The things she said about Thomas were shocking to me.

It was awful. I was shocked, too. He was (and surely is still) DISGUSTING. Sheer misogyny, and racism before they only approved clearance so no one would think that THEY were "racists".
