First Theresa May, Now Christine Ford:

Conservatives, including Fox host Laura Ingraham, promoted claims about the wrong Christine Ford in an attempt to smear Kavanaugh's accuser

Far-right news sites misidentify California professor as Kavanaugh accuser

As right-wing activists and pundits seek to discredit sexual assault allegations made by a woman against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, several prominent conservatives shared a viral piece of false information about the judge's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, a clinical psychology professor at Palo Alto University in Northern California.
On Monday, the conservative website Grabien News published a story quoting negative reviews purportedly written by Ford's students on RateMyProfessors.com. The Drudge Report, a right-leaning news aggregation site, shared the post with its 1.4 million Twitter followers. Laura Ingraham, one of Fox News' top opinion hosts, and Mark Levin, a right-wing radio host, also tweeted out the story.
"Christine Ford is the worst educator I have experienced," one former student wrote anonymously on the website. "Something's wrong with her," wrote another.
One key missing fact: they were reviews of a different Christine Ford.

It does not surprise me Fox News made mistakes in trying to discredit someone testifying against their favorite Supreme Court nominee. What upset me most about Kavanaugh were previous written statements indicating he might undermine our democracy by giving the president more power to commit crimes without being prosecuted for them.

I have been following news developments on MSNBC. They recently had the highest prime time cable TV ratings with the Rachel Maddow Show; more popular than Fox News.

Wow. Whataboutism/BothSides in the second post! Can't get better than that.

No I am tired of the sensationalism going on, and the left wing needs to be called on it. I know the Democrats are not doing this for good reasons, I smell sleazy intent behind. And I am saying this as a supporter of the Me Too movement. I am sick of the left wing media lambasting the right wing media for the same stuff that they do.

What the heck are you watching MSNBC for? They are just as sensationlistic as Fox, and yet people refer to them as gospel truth. Sorry, but MSNBC is just as fearingmongering as Fox and they really have questionable credibility for a reason.

Are you honestly saying that Ingraham, Drudge, Levin, et al., did NOT misfire their smear attempt at a completely incorrect and unrelated target because of, I don't know, ludicrous carelessness?

Because that's what actually, you know, happened.

No, I am tired no freaking sick of the left wing media, and trying to pain themselves as better as their right wing counterparts because they supposedly are more humanistic. The problem is that misconstruing character seems to be something only the right wing is blamed for, but the left wing go under the radar for.

I have just become numb to this, because at this point this going to become sensationalist garbage and whatever happens at the end the Democrats are going to try to depict themselves as saintly angels that generations are going to eat as truth.

The information in the links make it seem as though an honest mistake was made. Its only the OP that insists that it was intentionally done in order to "smear" her.
It's human nature to think the worst about people. One person accuse Kavanaugh when he was a teenager at a party she can't remember the place or time... even the year and everyone is ready to judge him.
Even if it's true they were both teenagers which we shouldn't judge them as adults. Are people really think thaT politicians are not guilty of doing something stupid as a teenager?

Dredging up her RateMyProfessor ratings is a pretty obvious attempt to smear her, since they have absolutely no bearing on the veracity of her accusations. The honest mistake was only in getting the wrong professor.

All that could be so........then why would Kavanaugh lie about it NOW, if it’s a true complaint...? Doesn’t that say something about his character NOW...?

How do you know he is lying? I didn't go to "open" parties so I know if I've been to someone party or not.

I was responding to your last para which started with “even if it’s true”. I’m saying that, ok, let’s assume it’s true. You would say we shouldn’t place too much stock in the foolish things that kids do in their teens.

Fine. Then, if it’s true, why can’t Kavanaugh be expected to come clean, admit it, and use that justification...’I was just a dumb kid’...? Instead, we possibly have him lying about it NOW...that can’t be brushed aside as the mistake of a ‘dumb kid’...

Remember, it’s not the act, it’s the cover up that gets you in the end...

Ok. Even if it's true it's still a witch hunt so practically Kavanaugh would be admitting he is a warlock.

The leftists are still mad about the election they lost two years ago and are unable to cope. However, I don’t see how anyone could view them as ‘humanistic’ or ‘saintly’ since they’re the camp that supports the killing of unborn babies. If anyone really pictures them as such, it just goes to show how heavily fluoridated our water supply truly is.

The leftists will never be content until they are able to rule over everyone else with an iron fist. And even if they were able to achieve this, I doubt they’d ever be content. No matter what. they’d still act like scorned, jaded, stood-up prom dates. ‘The Mean Girls Party’ is the best way to describe them.

It is amusing though, because they’re their own worst enemy. Truly hilarious how their own antics have led to this #walkaway movement or whatever it is called. People are jumping ship left and right, I enjoy seeing it. Me personally, I don’t support either side. God ultimately allows whoever it may be to take office. God is in control when it is all said and done.

But I can’t help but enjoy observing the leftists not getting their way. May they continue to chase people away from their side with their childish, crybaby antics and build on their growing reputation as a hypocritical laughingstock who has to turn EVERYTHING into a debate about race and identity politics. Whether it be a little league game, a Tom and Jerry cartoon, an ice cream cone, even the type of dog one chooses to adopt..count on a leftist to turn it into a political argument of some sorts. They’re truly a bunch of sore losers fighting for a cause just to have one. May they continue to crash and burn!

Wait a minute. You just said that it’s perfectly ok to forgive him on the basis that kids do stupid things.

Then why couldn’t he use the same defence...??

If it is true and he is discovered to be lying about it, the consequences will be far, far worse. Because the lying will have been something that he is guilty of NOW, as a supposedly responsible adult...

You can’t have it both ways...

What does the mad rush to smear this woman’s name have to do with presidential elections...??

However, I don’t see how anyone could view them as ‘humanistic’ or ‘saintly’ since they’re the camp that supports the killing of unborn babies. If anyone really pictures them as such, it just goes to show how heavily fluoridated our water supply truly is.

Conspiracy theory noted...but has nothing to do with this thread...

The leftists will never be content until they are able to rule over everyone else with an iron fist. And even if they were able to achieve this, I doubt they’d ever be content. No matter what. they’d still act like scorned, jaded, stood-up prom dates. ‘The Mean Girls Party’ is the best way to describe them.

Conspiracy theory #2....but still not addressing this thread...

It is amusing though, because they’re their own worst enemy. Truly hilarious how their own antics have led to this #walkaway movement or whatever it is called. People are jumping ship left and right, I enjoy seeing it. Me personally, I don’t support either side. God ultimately allows whoever it may be to take office.

Irrelevant rant....

Because the ones judging him don't care and want to burn him to the stake no matter how perfect he has been for 36 years.
The Democrat are not on higher moral ground.
If they were rational they would not have delayed the vote the start with.
