UNBELIEVABLE – AT 1:48 P.M. ET:    Is there any limit to the mean-spiritedness of some people?  Will Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the finest men to sit on the Supreme Court, ever see any peace?  From PJ Media: 

Former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson served only three years in that role; she was reportedly fired in 2014 for an ill-founded complaint about her compensation and for her "brusque" workplace manner. Her editorial competence was not questioned, however. In the era of #MeToo equalizing the perpetrators of rape with those of inadvertent microaggressions, perhaps no one remains in elite New York media qualified to make such a judgment, anyway.

This week, Abramson's reputation seemingly landed her a 4,000-word New York magazine cover story, which resurrects the sexual harassment complaints against Justice Clarence Thomas:

Feel free to question Abramson's timing and her subjectivity. Indeed, Abramson admits she is targeting Thomas again solely because the timing is proper, and the target high-value. She writes:

Thomas, as a crucial vote on the Supreme Court, holds incredible power over women’s rights, workplace, reproductive, and otherwise. His worldview, with its consistent objectification of women, is the one that’s shaping the contours of what’s possible for women in America today, more than that of just about any man alive, save for his fellow justices.

His worldview, of course, is that life and rights begin at conception, and that equal protection necessarily frowns upon laws based on gender. Abramson equates these views with dehumanization of women, and thus sees him as a worthwhile target based on his current import during this elite-media-driven "cultural" moment. Folks, if you think there's a time and a place to destroy a person, you are not in it for the alleged victims.

COMMENT:  I am reminded of the famous statement made by the Boston lawyer, Joseph Welch, to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, during the famous Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954.  McCarthy had publicly outed a colleague of Welch's, Fred Fisher, as a former member of a leftist organization, even though he had become a Republican, and McCarthy could have brought up the man's past privately.  By outing him publicly, he inevitably damaged Fisher's reputation.  Welch replied:  "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

At long last, has the press left no sense of decency?  Must the sleazebags of the media go after Justice Thomas again, after more than a quarter century of distinguished service on the Court?  Must these "journalists" endlessly labor to prove their liberal bona fides? 

We all know that the real reason the liberal underworld is going after Clarence Thomas is because he's a black conservative.  He dared stray from the party line.  He must be punished.

Some days I want to deny that I ever worked in the news business.
