WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Anita Hill said on Tuesday she testified truthfully in 1991 in accusing Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment and responded to a new book by the U.S. Supreme Court justice by saying he had unfairly attacked her character.

It was Hill's first response to the Thomas memoir that denounces his former aide and liberal interest groups who wanted to stop his nomination to the highest U.S. court.

"I'm really concerned that the approach that Clarence Thomas is taking now is so typical of people accused of wrongdoing. They trash their accusers ... and I don't want this to become the model of how we can react to bad workplace behavior," Hill said on ABC.

In an article on The New York Times op-ed page, Hill said Thomas in the book offered a litany of unsubstantiated representations and outright smears that Republican senators made when she testified.

1. Anita Hill should sue

for libel. Let's see Thomas explain it in court. It wasn't embarrassing enough the first time around.

12. it's too late to sue, this why thomas can keep on lying

you really have only about a year after the incident to litigate in so many civil situations -- the cards are stacked aga. victims in sexual harassment cases

anyway, it isn't about $$$ for anita hill

it's about truth

i hope she knows that we know that thomas is a piece of garbage

2. Hope she kept the letter from David Brock where he apologized to her

for all that he did to her (after finding out the truth of Clarence Thomas) ...

I'd have her call Brock as a witness ... especially since his book of lies about Anita Hill was reviewed by Rush Limbaugh as "well researched" ...

3. Please someone find that article by Brock

Two AA friends saw the Thomas interview and thought he was wonderful!

These two ladies are Democrats and nothing I could say could convince them that Anita Hill didn't lie on poor Thomas. :sarcasm:
One lady was rushing out to buy his book! :crazy:

Please,please find the link.
Thanks in advance.

4. But, don't you know he's *gay*?

Gays are fine if they're cons - just so long they keep quiet & don't flamboyate themselves. If they're evan a tiny bit critical of any Republican, then they're EVEEIL! and are not to be trusted.

7. It's in his book ... "Blinded by the Right"

5. If you fuck up, just write a book

and say you didn't. If you are a repuke, wingnut, or wack job christian you will be exonerated. If you are a Clinton well, tough shit.

6. I wish David Brock (Media Matters) would do an op-ed.

He still has some ground to make up in my opinion.

He could shine a clear bright light on the truth - more than anyone since he helped destroy her reputation at that time while working for the Scaiffe machine.

8. Did a search of ~ Anita Hill and David Brock

and got a lot of hits.

I don't understand how anyone could believe Thomas.

But that interview that he did convinced some intelligent people that "Anita Hill smeared him." :crazy:

9. Clarence smeared himself, again -- amazingly dumb ---

Clarence the clown is a pervert and you would think he'd just sit on the Court and continue to keep his mouth shut --

His "friends" all confirm that he is an obscene, porn-obsessed, crude human being and quite a few were familiar with his porn runs at Yale --

Maybe this book -- $1 million -- was a pay-off for his Gang of 5 vote putting Bush in the Oval Office?

Why else would he be so dumb as to write something like this?

[goclark]

10. I agree but see my post up thread

He was/is slick enough to convince some true Democrats that they should feel sorry for him.

I am still in shock that anyone could not see through his fake lies.

All of a sudden he is going to "talk" when he doesn't say a word on the Court.

11. I blame 60 minutes.....

That was the most one sided, propaganda piece of garbage and they even gave that whiny, mealy mouth, right wing disgrace....45 minutes to spew that crap!:grr:

I thank Anita Hill for being the classy lady she is, cause if it were me, I would slap a 100 million dollar slander suit against his sorry ...!:spank:
