The Anita Hill rewrite
Those of us who lived through the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court came to the conclusion that Anita Hill was lying with our eyes wide open. We observed the inconsistencies between her conduct and her testimony. The more we learned about what had gone on behind the scenes to knock off Thomas with the instrumentality of Hill, the more we understood that Hill was a willing instrument in a larger story. It’s how the left operates.
The left also relentlessly rewrites history. See the Rosenberg case. See the Hiss case. See the Rathergate scandal. In each case, we have relentless mendacity in the service of a bad cause.
Anita Hill presents another such case. It is now received doctrine that Hill was viciously mistreated by Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is received doctrine that she told the truth in her patently ridiculous testimony. Superimposed on the received doctrine is the MeToo movement. No woman can be disbelieved, unless perhaps believing her is inconvenient to the left. Again we have relentless mendacity in the service of a bad cause.
