[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the Politico piece.  Reade has no credibility.  That along with the timing is too much for me to believe her. If she was concerned about him being a leader, when he ran for VP would have been the time to come out.[/quote]

Huh.  Does it bother you when other women wait decades to allege sexual assault?  Or just Reade?[/quote]

DP. You need to read the Politico piece, and the NPR piece. They’re about how she was fired from her Senate job for poor performance, nothing else. They're about how she ripped off people who were kind to her for decades.

I mean... the articles suggest she is a pretty unpleasant person. This doesn’t necessarily mean nothing happened. Is she a perfect credible source? Absolutely not. Does that prove Biden is innocent? Absolutely not. I feel a bit yucky about the Politico article because it very much follows the tradition of dig up whatever muck you can find on the female accuser wether it has direct relevance to the accusation or not and is precisely why women hesitate in coming forward. Do only perfect angelic women have the right to complain about harassment? How does trauma shape people’s behavior and clash with what we expect of them as a society? [/quote]
