WASHINGTON - Anita Hill, whose sexual harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas nearly derailed his Supreme Court nomination 16 years ago, said Tuesday she stood by her account of his behavior, disputing Thomas' assertion in a new book that the charges were politically motivated.
"I stand by my testimony" at a 1991 Senate Judiciary hearing on the nomination, Hill wrote in an Op Ed piece in The New York Times. "I will not stand by silently and allow him, in his anger, to reinvent me."
In his book, "My Grandfather's Son," Thomas says Hill, his former employee at the Education Department and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, was a mediocre employee who was used by political opponents to make claims she had been sexually harassed.
Powerful interest groups were out to stop him at all costs and chose "the age-old blunt instrument of accusing a black man of sexual misconduct," he writes. He described Hill as touchy and apt to overreact and said she complained to him only about his refusal to promote her.
Hill, who is also black, disputed Thomas' assertions.
"I was truthful. What I described happened actually did happen, and what I've learned is that it's happened to many women in the workplace," Hill said in an interview Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
She said she believes the workplace environment is better now for women, but added that Thomas' approach "is really so typical of people accused of wrongdoing. They trash their accusers."
In the 1991 hearings, Thomas adamantly denied Hill's accusations that he made inappropriate sexual remarks, including references to pornographic movies. Thomas says he did talk about X-rated movies while at Yale Law School, adding that so did many other young people in the 1970s.
Hill is now a professor of social policy, law and women's studies at Brandeis University.

I believed Hill then and I believe her now. Thomas is a sleeze. He is exactly what the other right wingnuts on the court are. A misogynist. And all misogynists treat women that way, and refuse to acknowledge our right to control our own bodies. We are here to serve.

There is not proof that anything she said is true. As a matter of fact circumstantial evidense all leads to her lying.
She told no other colleges at the time. She followed him to this next job.
It is strictly her word against his. I will say this, I don't believe her because i support the type of jusge Thomas is, but in a court of law she would lose. If the democrats could have proved he did it they would have.
They didn't and he is there.
As to what type of judge he is, he is a good one who does not read into the constitution what he wants to be there, he interprets what is there. of course that means you leftist slugs hate him and that is a virtue in my book.

Obviously, you know nothing of the Justices on the Court, as, most of those right wing nuts you talk about have, to the public eye, great marriages, and wives that sincerely appreciate their husbands work. Do some research on Justice Scalia's marriage, then come talk about those right wing nut jobs that you have no clue about.

I don't give a good damn about how long those creeps have held some stupid woman hostage in a sick relationship. And most of the neo-cons are married to women who oppose their husbands stand on abortion. Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan, to name a few. As Gloria Steinam said, "If men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."

Vs of course the standard barers of the leftist marriage, the Clintons. Tell me something, is Bill Clinton a mysoginist? Does he treat his wife correctly?
You make assumptions without any facts to back them up.
Gloria Steinam is an ass, who cares what she says.
BTW - polls show that women are pretty evenly divided on this issue. So what is her fucking point?
