[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I am genuinely trying to understand how Democrats that wholeheartedly supported Ford can continue to support Platner and even worse, attack the woman who came forward so viciously. It seems completely hypocritical. [/quote]

I just wrote a blog post about this. Lyndsey Fifield herself started an organization aimed at discrediting Christine Blasey Ford. This was just a couple of years after Fifield says that she had been in an abusive relationship. If her relationship with Platner was as abusive as she says, she doesn't appear to have gained much empathy from it. Regardless, as I wrote in my blog, it is reasonable to have the same doubts about Fifield as Fifield clearly had about Blasey Ford.

Except that anyone who "had doubts" about CBF was called all sorts of names for not "believing all women."  Remember that?

That’s what is happening to those who have doubts about Fifield, including by you. [/quote]

You seem to be deliberately ignoring the point - which is why were so many Democrats, including you, so utterly outraged over an allegation of teenaged groping, yet now so completely willing to chalk up Platner's bad behavior and comments as "he was young and stupid, all is forgiven"?

Not to mention, why did you believe CBF without reservation (even with zero substantiation) but now call Fifield a liar - when she actually does have evidence in the form of old text messages?  Don't you find this just a wee bit hypocritical?[/quote]

You are a liar and presenting false information. I have never called Fifield a liar. In my blog post, I explicitly said that I am not calling her a liar. I have never said that Platner is forgiven for his alleged behavior.

You need to take a good look in the mirror and reconsider which of us is a hypocrite. You are not treating Blasey Ford's and Fifield's allegations equally. You are allowing political motivations to determine your opinion. Moreover, you are behaving exactly like you claim Kavanaugh's opponents were.

Remember when Democrats believed CBF without question - and screamed at anyone who had their doubts?  Remember Democrats protesting during the Kavanaugh hearings?

You personally may not be calling Fifield a liar, but plenty of the same people who believed CBF certainly are.  And you don't see anything hypocritical about that?  Talk about 'political motivations'... THOSE are the people who are not treating the two allegations equally - and I am calling out THAT hypocrisy.[/quote]
You conflate the two, and that’s why women who are actually raped and sexually assaulted have a difficult time coming forward. It’s because people like you PP. Kavanaugh was accused of an actual sexual penetration and yet you want to say it is equal to Platner being accused of grabbing his girlfriend’s arm. GTFOH with your BS.

Signed someone who was actually sexually assaulted. You people make me sick. [/quote]

Wait - WTAF are you talking about?  [b]Provide a link stating the bolded.[/b]

You know what makes me sick?  People like you LYING about rapes that never occurred.  THAT is what makes women hesitant to come forward, because aholes making false accusations make people doubt others. You are truly disgusting.  [/quote]
