Thomas never had a Confederate flag on his desk. He had this flag in his possession, but it wasn’t displayed on his desk.

You claim that Thomas was a serial molestor of women. Name two of them. And while you’re at it, define “molestor of women”; I’m betting your definition is pretty wide when it comes to your political opponents and far too narrow when applied to Democrats like Bill Clinton (who really was a serial molestor of women).

Frankly, glasnost, your style of misrepresenting posts and links is tiresome. You got laughed out of QandO, and you’ll be laughed out of here, too.

What evidence has been marshaled for this claim, again? Looking at Patterico’s post, here’s what I could come up with:

1. He was extremely poor.
2. He’s a Supreme Court Justice.
3. Many people said alledgedly mean things about him! Waaah!

The slanders against Thomas during his confirmation hearings are too numerous to list

That’s convenient, eh? And the examples… Tom had a confederate flag on his desk, and someone accurately reported that fact in an unflattering implied context!! How terrible!

The most relevant fact about the hearings was that, Clarence Thomas’ past behavior as a serial molester of women was publicly exposed. That’s exactly what is supposed to happen during public hearings for an important public office.

Everything I’ve read about the man paints him as a boorish, vindictive, hopelessly obnoxious and petty little wad of spite. An impression he has not alleviated by violating an admirable Supreme Court informal convention against self-aggrandizement during office by writing a tell-all memoir that reads like one long enemies’ list.

Color me totally unimpressed. Thanks anyway.

LMAO!!!!!!! Stop, David, stop! Do you realize how incredibly funny you are when you do this? No one has to mock you, you do a wonderful job all by your onesie.

Peace Out!

Contributors like him (her) are the other reason why Patterico’s software should put names in front of comments, rather than at the end.

“It’s also interesting that Thomas comments on the fact that he is very dark and often faced discrimination from light skinned blacks. Light skinned like David E, for example.
“

Oh, I was waiting for that one. Talk about “reverse discrimination” — a white man accuse me of being too white !
