While there are many unknowns surrounding the current accusations against Judge Kavanaugh, one thing that is perfectly clear is the rank hypocrisy of the Democratic party.
The Democrats, after all, are the party that extolled serial sexual predators such as Ted Kennedy, who attempted to cover up his causing a woman’s death during one of his drunken escapades. When Kennedy died less than a decade ago, the media referred to him as “The Lion of the Senate,” and he received a televised multi-hour funeral procession and hagiography that was carried live on several networks.
But Kennedy was a piker compared with Bill Clinton, who not only took sexual advantage of a White House intern while president but was accused of sexual assault by multiple women with far more evidence than has been presented against Judge Kavanaugh. Democrats responded by nominating his wife, who’d worked to destroy the credibility of his accusers, to run for president on an overtly feminist platform. “You have a right to be believed,” Hillary told victims of sexual assault.
Then there are the tales of two Monahans.
The first is Karen Monahan — she’s been in the news recently because both she and her son accused Congressman Keith Ellison, deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, of violently assaulting her.
Monahan, an active Democrat, and her son seemingly have no motive to lie about Ellison’s behavior, and three friends of Monahan and her work supervisor also said she confided Ellison’s abuse to them at the time it is alleged to have happened. She has provided medical records showing that she discussed the alleged abuse (and her fear of retribution from Ellison, who is named in the medical record) with her physician and her work supervisor.
While there must always be a presumption of innocence of any person accused of serious crimes, Ellison’s denials are mitigated by the subsequent emergence of a second highly credible claim of assault against him. This claim, backed up by a contemporary 911 call specifically identifies Ellison as the perpetrator of ongoing domestic violence.
Despite knowing of the allegations, the Minnesota Democrats endorsed Ellison for the office of attorney general, giving him over 82 percent at their recent convention. As attorney general, he’d be responsible for enforcing domestic-violence and rape laws.
Compare the Democrats’ treatment of Karen Monahan, who tweeted that she had been “smeared, threatened and isolated from my own party,” with their treatment of another incident involving a Monahan. “Haven Monahan” was a central figure in the Rolling Stone story about an alleged gang rape that roiled the University of Virginia in 2014, one that turned out to be a hoax.
Haven Monahan, according to Rolling Stone, gave “instruction and encouragement” to the seven men who gang-raped a woman at a UVA frat party. Monahan turned out to be a figment of the fertile imagination of Jackie Coakley, the UVA student who concocted an elaborately fraudulent and premeditated tale of rape.
Coakley’s lies, apparently motivated by her desire to get the romantic attention of a fellow student, led to threats of violence against innocent members of the fraternity she slandered and a total ban on Greek life at the university for a substantial period of time. It also led to more calls from Democrats for a “national discussion” about the “campus rape epidemic.” “The wrongs described in Rolling Stone are appalling and have caused all of us to reexamine our responsibility to this community,” UVA’s president said at the time.
The Democrats are always eager to exploit these claims for political gain. In 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign site was still posting the false claim that one in five women on campus would be victims of sexual assault. According to a recent Bureau of Justice Statistics report, the number of women experiencing sexual assault in four years of college is closer to to 2.4 percent, with just 0.8 percent being victims of rape — numbers that are still far too high but a far cry from those put out by Democrat politicians and feminist groups.
Yet even as her story unraveled, Coakley was not chargd with a crime or even held accountable by the university for honor-code violations. Long after Coakley’s lies were apparent, prominent feminists were still defending her. Jessica Valenti wrote:
Bill Clinton commited rape
No, they won’t. They didn’t abandon Hillary even when she lied about her lies and incompetence under oath ON VIDEO. The left has yet to understand some people don’t appreciate being lied to and treated like complete fools. My prediction is they will stick by Ellison, he will lose and then they will blame a Trump/Russian conspiracy to defeat him.
It is hard to find something Democrats are not hypocritical about. Take gun violence; you would think the anti-gun Democrats would go nuts over someone using a gun to kill an innocent young girl walking with her father. But, wait… this killer was an illegal immigrant. He stole a gun left unsecured by a Bureau of Land Management officer. And the killing happened in the sanctuary city of sanctuary cities, San Francisco. So, the left goes totally radio silent on the crime and, when the trial comes about, the killer gets a wrist-slap of a penalty, guilty of illegal possession of a firearm.
How about gun control? Everything but gun registration and background checks on personal transactions have been implemented, but the left is still not satisfied. Yet, in a situation like the Parkland shooting, where liberal social justice got in the way of utilizing all the gun control measures in place and the very people the left wants us to rely on for our safety (certainly not ourselves), local and federal law enforcement, failed at every turn to recognize the easily recognizable dangers or move to prevent tragedy. Yet, in this case, the gun and gun ownership is demonized… NONE of the actual causing factors.
How about immigration? The left has long claimed to care as much as Republicans about border security and, while coddling the “good illegal immigrant”, just as enthusiastic as Republicans in rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants that commit crimes (other than illegally immigrating). Yet NOW (when someone is actually DOING it), they promote sanctuary cities and oppose cooperating with ICE (even impeding their legal actions) in arresting and taking violent criminal illegal immigrants out of our communities. This, despite ongoing crimes, including gun related crimes, against innocent citizens.
Of course, there are loads of examples of Democrat hypocrisy over sexual assaults on women largely because there are so damn many assaults by liberals. First is their view of sex; any time, any where, any one, and this applies to both genders. Then there is the willingness to use sex as a weapon, so there are LOTS of what began as consensual meetings being turned into rape and assault. Add to that the number of wealthy liberal celebrities and moguls, all of whom are vitally important to the propagation of the liberal message and agenda. The first reaction is to defend them or shrug off the accusation. Or, after a brief period of penance, they can be deemed all better and forgiven, so the money and propaganda can begin flowing again. Or, like in Clinton, Kennedy or Ellison’s case, just ignore it.
Liberal hypocrisy is rampant and as prevalent as mosquitoes (and just as annoying). Trying to embarrass a liberal with any such examples is a fool’s errand.
