    Because we don't have God telling us whose opinion is right.

    As someone who lived in China nine years and publishes Chinese translation I would probably know a lot more than you.

    That is a GREAT example. But let's remember there were 3 accusers. And the first thing everybody did was look into their history.

    And when they looked into the history of the third accuser, we saw she had a history of questionable behavior and was so largely dismissed.

    As deep as they could dig into Blaisey Ford, nobody came up with history of questionable behavior. And believe me they dug hard.

    And hopefully we can all agree that the import of a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court has a greater sense of weight that whether you think a person who quit their job was justified or not. If we were appointing the New York Times Editorial Board to the Supreme Court I'd want to hear a whole lot more on the subject.

    https://dailycaller.com/2020/07/15/ex-nyt-editor-jill-abramson-blows-off-bari-weiss-departure/

    Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson traded barbs with “Outnumbered Overtime” host Harris Faulkner.

    Abramson suggested during her Wednesday appearance that the abrupt exit of opinion editor Bari Weiss was more “molehill” than mountain — especially when taken alongside the other news of the day — and seemed to imply that people in the newsroom had not treated Weiss any differently than she may have treated others.

    “I think that the departure of one junior-level opinion editor at The New York Times is really a molehill, compared to the mountains of news developments that you have just been talking about on your show. Her — Bari Weiss’ letter was a strong letter, certainly. And it was bound to get some reaction, but, in the scheme of things, it does not spell crisis for the New York Times.”

    Abramson went on to argue that the NYT was not controlled by “a cabal of left-wing journalists,” saying that most of the opinion writers were center-left. She also said that there was no place in the newsroom for bullying, adding, “So, I’m sorry. I’m sorry if she had a rough time … But, you know, Bari Weiss is someone, you know, she was — she has, like, thousands of Twitter followers herself. She has been in there on Twitter throwing some — some punches herself at people she disagrees with.”

    “But, you know, if you are going to dish it out, you have got to be ready to take it.”

    Kavanaugh had multiple witnesses, witnesses that the FBI didn't even bother to interview because the AG held them back. It was a sham investigation and still there was enough there that he shouldn't have been nominated. This woman doesn't have a single witness supporting her accusations. It's not a comparable situation at all.

    And here you go again. Turning this into a personal attack just after you cried about not making this thread about you and your motives. Frankly, the hypocrisy you are laying on is pretty thick, which is ironic given what you are accusing me of.

    Yeah it seems more and more like she is running a PR campaign to help her gain cred and sympathy from the right wing and folks like @Os Trigonum are lapping it up with a hungry smile.

    Smart move to sell books. Now this is the perfect example of someone "playing the victim" card that you hear the right wing accuse the left of so often.

    "ZOA Establishes Hotline to Aid Journalists Suffering Antisemitism/Israel Bias at NY Times and Elsewhere":

    https://zoa.org/2020/07/10440801-zo...mitism-israel-bias-at-ny-times-and-elsewhere/

    ZOA Establishes Hotline to Aid Journalists Suffering Antisemitism/Israel Bias at NY Times and Elsewhere

    Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein and Chair Mark Levenson, Esq. have released the following statement:

    In light of the shocking resignation by NY Times journalist Bari Weiss, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has established a hotline for journalists at the NY Times or any other media outlet to call to report any antisemitism, anti-Israel bigotry, bullying, or harassment they are experiencing.

    ZOA condemns the hostile antisemitic work environment now on full and public display at The New York Times. Bari Weiss’s decision to resign from her position as a writer and editor at the Times highlights the problems of journalists who call out antisemitism on the right and the left, and stand up for Israel.

    No journalist should pay a price for expressing these views. In her resignation letter, Weiss revealed that her Times colleagues called her “a Nazi and a racist.” They criticized her for “writing about the Jews again.”

    To all journalists: We are with you and we are here to help you. ZOA has a long and proud record of effectively fighting antisemitism and standing up for the rights of Jews and those that support Israel. We do it in the courts, in Congress, in the media, in schools, and on college campuses. Rest assured, ZOA will stand up for you, too.

    If you have been bullied, harassed, or even threatened for expressing support for Jews or Israel, please contact us. We will guide you and stand up for your right to express those views – and the public’s right to hear them.

    Contact us at (212) 481-1500 or info@zoa.org. Together we will fight this culture of intolerance and hostility and bias and bigotry against Jews and the Jewish State at the NY Times and other media outlets.

    Black Lives Matter “is a Jew hating, White hating, Israel hating, conservative Black hating, violence promoting, dangerous Soros funded extremist group of haters,” ZOA President Mort Klein tweeted on Saturday

    In January 2009, the ZOA expressed concern about President Barack Obama's selection of George J. Mitchell as an envoy to the Middle East. The ZOA criticized Mitchell because he "believes both sides are equally at fault" and that "settlements are the main problem, not the Palestinian people' refusal to end terrorism."

    In 2020, the ZOA supported annexation (“applying Israeli sovereignty”) of Palestinian land in the West Bank.


    So what exactly is the problem here? An organization that is arguably bigoted is upset that others that have the same opinion are being called out on it?

    I know they do not believe they are in the wrong.....

    What ad hominem did I toss at you? Are you sure you know what ad hominem means?

    Seriously how is that an ad hominem? Did I not describe your post (with the exception of adding a z).

    Do you feel I am bullying you by referring to your lol? Is that what Bari experienced that has gotten you take up her crusade?
