| The real takeaway from the Kavanaugh hearings |
| 2018-09-30 |
| Just step back from all the noise and look at what is happening with the "news" coverage about Brett Kavanaugh. The root of this story is simply one woman's partially recovered memory of something she says happened 36 years ago. The story is completely unsupported by any other evidence. All of the people who she says were at the party have denied under oath that it happened. People who say "we need to get to the bottom of this" need to understand that the unsupported story is the bottom of this, the top of this, and the middle of this. The memory, with no support, is all there is. There is no "where" to investigate. There is no "when" to investigate. There is just a story that cannot possibly be proven, which is why no prosecutor would ever bring charges on this case. There is no need to prove anything. That woman's feelings were hurt by the nasty man - lynch him! Republicans should have simply stated in the beginning that the vote would not be stopped by this woman's recovered memory. They could have said Senator Feinstein showed the correct judgment initially when she withheld the unsupportable accusation and did not mention it for months. But they didn't do that, and the extremely destructive circus ensued (just the way the Democrats had hoped). It is far from being over. Just watch. What I would like to focus on is not the flimsy case against a good man, but how the media and the Democrats (redundant, I know) control the narrative. Evidence has almost nothing to do with the narratives they sell. The political goal is always primary; facts are secondary and unnecessary. The Kavanaugh case is a good example, but there are many other "big" stories that are based on little or nothing. Democrats' thirst for power is nothing "little". Neither is the Republicans' desire to pretend that it is still the same two-party political system you had before FDR. |
