Opinion: Have we learned nothing since Anita Hill?

This article incorrectly implies a kind of genuine ignorance during the Anita Hill hearings and not a strategy of cynicism. The GOP learned everything they needed to know during the Anita Hill hearings--that winning is the only important thing.

That’s 4 people that have denied dr fords lies and not a single confirming.

4th witness and lifelong friend of dr Ford has come forth denying the allegations. Not a single headline from the fake news. Wonder why

What has been learned is that women don't matter.

Nope!

what do you teach your kids about men who on tape talking about grabbing women private parts and you still support that frea

If Democrats will lie to lynch a black SCOTUSNomination what will they do to a white nominee? Is that the right answer? FakeNews ConfirmKavanaghNow

Nothing to learn, they pay Hill off, her her conscience eating her alive

we learned that liberal women will lie to sabotage a SupremeCourt nominee that she disagrees with politically

We've learned it's still possible for women to make baseless accusations of sexual impropriety to ruin a man's life.

Indeed. Have we not learned that uncorroborated allegations should not be enough to ruin someone's career?

Let's look into the background of all you leftist so-called "journalists & see what skeletons are in your closet

No! Judge Thomas got away with it back then And got a seat on thesupremecourt why wouldn't they think they can get away with it again? TimesUp

Um the republicans are offering to make this situation as comfortable as possible for Ford, while she is trying to drag this out and make up her own rules and has a slough of democrat morons trying to claim she’s being bullied. GTFO!!!

Obviously not.

Apparently not - if we base it on the rhetoric of the judiciary committee. In fact, they’ve regressed further from that point.

Apparently not.

The way this committee is acting, I would say no. The saddest part of this whole thing beyond the attempted accused rape, is that our government officials have not learned from history. I wish history gave us all a second chance to do something right. But nope they are the same

LisaHauser8 Very little. Just like we learned nothing from the oil crisis in the early 70s. And the last recession. And the great depression for that matter. We never learn anything - we just pretend it’s different now or that was different.

Sure did Democrats are even more despicable.

Nope.

No no no no no!

Still need to hold Thomas to a burning candle of justice. He was guilty as hell!

We still have not learnt that you are innocent until proven guilty.

Republicans have learned if you say a lie over & over again & ignore the voice of the American people you can do whatever you want. They also learned they can treat women like dirt because isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?

We have, ancient white republican men haven’t.

Cases are so completely different. Association of them is inappropriate

Based upon the attitudes expressed in this article, I believe it is obvious that some have learned nothing in 27 years. A few of those things that haven't been learned are that not all men and not all women are truthful, good, or perfect. In that, we are all equally imperfect.

Apparently not

Do you think we have? We got a bum's rush on steroids and what may well prove to be Anita Hill 2.0 at the hands of some of the same old douche bags.

Apparently not. BelieveWomen

No.

Yes it’s he said she said

We learned how low dems will stoop

That the democrats will do anything to get their way.

No, because Dems are liars, cheaters and do anything to manipulate. But, in 2015 America Woke Up. We are Done with their Games.

DukeLacrosse

Proof and evidence is less and less necessary

Republican Senators cmte & definite not Trump haven't learned not a thing...

Obviously NOT !!! Otherwise, we wouldn't been having a debate as to whether or not to have an FBI investigation into it.

they did learn alot, they learned that they can ignore it and still get a supreme court justice..

...Nah.

Well, women didn't learn that waiting a decade to report something, with no substantiating evidence, doesn't work. So, there's that...

Nope we haven’t learned how to elect or select ppl who have our best interest. Too many old white men with old white men angst who are determining our lives. VOTE BLUE 🗳💙💙💙🗳! And it does matter WHO!

Yes, stand up and yell like hell to defend her and anyone else who has credible accusations.

We learn gop SenateGOP WhiteHouse HouseGOP endorses rapeculture. evilmotherfuckers

With realdonaldtrump bragging about all of the women he has assaulted, and the gop supporting him and many Republicans (although only a minority in the US) choosing to be blind to his immorality, the answer is WE have learned a lot but the GOP has not.

Women have, it's the old boy network that hasn't...Never again do we sit back and do nothing...Vote

Obviously learned or done NOTHING since 1991 this article doesn’t change the status quo dialog -it perpetuates it. “And yet: In 1991 it did not seem especially abnormal that no women served on the panel grilling Hill.” 100% BS - we screamed & media don’t listen

Yes..... the failed WaPo is a hack for the Democratic Party.... lying, covering up,colluding and corruption! Shameful

The United States gave women equal voting rights in all states with the Nineteenth Amendment ratified in 1920. Grassley 1933 birth 1980 Senate 47 yr old 1991 Anita Hill Hearing 58 yr 2018 85 Now Hatch 1934 birth 1977 Senate 43 yr old 1991 Anita Hill Hearing 57 yr 2018 84 Now

Rhetorical question. Clearly not, look at Congress and the White House.

xscoutie We have the same people there why would they have learned anything?

In some ways it seems we have not. Let's see what happens next week though....

No!!! Republicans still consider women 2nd class citizens. Women should not vote for Republicans.

Of course the GOP did. They now don’t want the fbi to investigate or have any witnesses so they can “plow it” through quicker

The Republicans learned they can crap all over women and still raise cash and get votes. NoOnKavanaugh

the fundamental problem is imbalance of power still exists, although it is eroding, as proved by 4 women now on Judiciary.

Sure doesn’t seem like it sometimes

Obviously not.

Not a prayer, the Evangelicals are no longer Christians and the GOP is now the Trumpians. And we still owe AnitaHill for what these men did to her, including two who are back again. TOTALLY REPUGNANT.

I admit I didn't read the article, but I'm going to assume that the answer is "No. No we have not."

We learned she is and was a liar

Yes - Dems play dirty

have we learned nothing since SPOTLIGHT?

no

The country yes....the deplorable GOP....No

Society has, but the Republican Party and the all white gangsters that sit on the judiciary committee have not. It’s imperative for D’s to take the Senate

WaPo & there Fake News!

We've learned that not a damn thing has changed.

No, we have not

the allegations there were about unwanted flirting.

We have....the Democrats will stop at nothing to wangle their way.....the dishonest, and over the top behavior ‼️ 👎🏻

A hearing for another fake charge from a liberal activist. I don't call that progress

Nope.

Christine Blasey (if you need to use your last name why even take his) got the Anita Hill treatment before testifying, that's progress

It is a mistake to think the GOP is acting in good faith. They have no interest in ascertaining the truth of Dr. Ford's claims, only in fast-tracking a supreme court justice that will support of their unpopular agenda and shield the president from the consequences of his crimes

All the same white men are in charge. Of course things haven’t changed.

Yes. We have learned that not enough has changed. That our daughters are experiencing the same as their mothers. We have also learned...it's time to speak up and fight for equality at the table. This is bullshit to see in 2018.

I think maybe Dr. Ford has. She's a psychology professor. I'm very much looking forward to what she does to these hearings. She's a smart woman. I think she knows what they intend. She knows there's more to this than some kind of legal action. There's the jury, us.

We learned nothing from Anita Hill but how power always uses your own to tarnish your creditability.

Of course we have. Trouble is ( we DON'T have equal representation under the law)

No, clearly the left haven't. Criminal justice,not mob justice. Also,doesn't even apply, since this is a ploy by yet another Democrat to stall/halt nomination. There's no law or principle that stands in the way of the left's desire to get their way. Kavanaugh's getting confirmed.

Better Title: Why have Republicans learned nothing since Anita Hill?

Who dat

The GOP has learned to hide their misogyny behind outside counsel...whatch themshirk their advise and consent duty

NO

Only that Dr. Ford has a story to share, a deep emotional story, yet the GOP couldn't care less.
