A friend of the blog writes:<\/p>\n

And here we have an example of a liberal who chooses to not believe someone when they are accusing a Democrat<\/a>. I wonder what reaction the blogger would get if she wrote this about Kavanaugh?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

But, maybe the blogger is not too far from where we all ought to be. I mostly roll my eyes when I hear about a new accusation against a politician. These accusations certainly all seem set up to distract from real issues. Let’s vow not to be distracted. Let’s vow to make sure accusers have solid evidence before we hear about it night and day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps the real movement should be to encourage people to report incidents when they happen and investigate then, rather than when they are politically expedient.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, counter to what the blogger writes, I have heard reports that Karen Monahan did try to report it at the hospital. If true, this is far more evidence than we get from most accusers and this is one woman we ought to believe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The blogger at the link would seem to be a reliable relater of Democrat party chanting points. But as my correspondent correctly notes, I laud the (late breaking, selective’ sudden) concern for facts as a better arbiter of justice than raw, focused emotion (dutifully applied by a biased media).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
