The shamelessness of liberal politicians and journalists is displayed by their unique outrage at the treatment of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, as if everyone forgot the smearing of Brett Kavanaugh with unsubstantiated sexual allegations, including teenage gang rape.
The Washington Post editorial board was roundly roasted for claiming, “Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they’ve treated Ketanji Brown Jackson worse.”
Leftist celebrity activists like George Takei ranted at Sen. Tom Cotton for suggesting Jackson would have defended the Nazis at Nuremberg (like she defended the terrorist suspects at Guantanamo, even after her days as a public defender). Democrats can disparage that since leftists rarely defend Nazis at trial, and there weren’t a lot of black female lawyers in the 1940s. But it cannot be compared to the nightmare of being smeared as a gang rapist.
The leftist site PoliticusUSA also posted juicy proof of shamelessness under the headline “News Icon Dan Rather Condemns GOP’s Treatment of Judge Jackson.” The “icon” who smeared George W. Bush with phony National Guard documents is outraged! Rather tweeted, “The treatment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson by most Republican senators is beyond shameful.”
How hard is it to find Rather back in 2018 toeing the hard-line Democrat line on Kavanaugh? It’s not hard. Rather tweeted, “A picture is emerging of Judge Kavanaugh which suggests that he may (be) ‘That Guy,’ who many have seen before — the dangerous drunk (strong language I grant you but we have to consider the evidence before us).”
In an appearance with CNN’s Don Lemon at the time, Rather compared the old white male Republicans to dinosaurs. “In these theories of evolution, we talk about what happened to the dinosaurs. They were yesterday’s animal, and they got to be extinct. If the Republican Party isn’t careful, that’s what’s going to happen to them.”
It’s odd for Rather to suggest there are old white male dinosaurs that have failed to evolve. He never evolves. He’s always partisan. After NBC interviewed Juanita Broaddrick in 1999, and she insisted Bill Clinton raped her in a Little Rock hotel in 1978, Rather wanted that accusation to go away quickly. He told Don Imus on MSNBC that “even if it turns out to be true, it happened a long time ago,” and, “they’ve gotta be figuring maybe, just maybe the American public has heard all they want to hear about this and are saying you know, ‘Next. Let’s move on to the next thing.'”
On his Substack website, Rather recently wrote about the exposure of Ginni Thomas’ text messages to Trump aide Mark Meadows and whether Justice Clarence Thomas was aware of his wife’s agitations about the 2020 election.
He wrote, without introspection, “But here’s the thing that eats at me, or at least whatever is left of the instincts that guided me into a life of reporting. You don’t report hunches. You have to be careful about not seeing ghosts where there are none.”
Physician, heal thyself.
Under President Donald Trump, Rather proclaimed, “Truth has regularly galloped past the limits of fiction. The half-life of outrage can be measured in nanoseconds.” So, when it comes to their new hot story on Mrs. Thomas, “We have to be careful not to let our suppositions drift into fantasy. But at the same time, we need to expand the bounds of our imagination.”
Rather isn’t qualified to lecture Trump or anyone else about truth and fiction. Democrats and liberal journalists are all getting in their lamentations about rough treatment of their favorite Supreme Court nominees.

Stupidity rules in today’s society and there is abundant evidence to support that claim.
ITS NOT stupdity.. ITS WILLFUL DEMONIC LOVING soulless evil, that pours out of the libtards..
The treachery of the traitorous, socialist Democrat Party and its political propaganda/news networks know no bounds.
The Disgraceful Democrat Party’s “Chutzpah” Knows No Bounds
The definition of “chutzpah.” It’s someone killing his parents and then falling on the mercy of the court on account of his being an orphan.
In Regards To A Black Raced Woman Being Seated On The Supreme Court, ” Ketanji Brown Jackson Would Have People Believing That She Was Just Yesterday That She Was A Slave And Still Bore The Scares of The Chains That Enslaved Her For So Long. It Must Have Been Manifest Destiny That She A Female, Black, Recently A Slave, I The Cotton Fields, Would All Of A Sudden Be Nominated, And Seated On The Highest Court In The Land, No In Reality Ketanji Brown Jackson Only Had To Wait As A Former Judge Until A Racist democrat President, Joe Biden Was Elected And Said In Effect, No White Race Men or Women Need Apply For Nominee To The Supreme Court Opening .
Oddly enough, neither black nor white is a race, thus, lower case. Ah, well …
BUT only whites, get put in lower case.. Blacks always seem to get put in Upper case.
Never forget how the Left makes money. It’s all for a reason.
Will those judges who disagree with the left still be safe from self inflicted harm?
It Would Seem Obvious That This Is Another Way In “Packing The Supreme Court With Guaranteed Democrat Justices In Order To get The decisions that The Socialists. – Communist , Democrats Want from the Court each and every time witout fail As The democrat party Can’t Count On bought and paid for, Voters maybe they can Succeed by ” packing The Supreme Court. “
Franklin D. Roosevelt , A democrat, Said , ” Yo u know I Am A Juggler, I Never Let the Right Hand Know What The Left Hand Is Doing, And to paraphrase Franklin D. Roosevel, A democrat President Also Said, ” I Don’t Hesitate to tell someone one Thing And Tell Someone Else The Complete Opposite Story About The Same Issue, To lie seems To Be A Habit With The democrats doesn’t It.
