Of course. Liberal feminists have always been this way. It is amusing how it's all the same people who defended Dr. Ford. A bunch of them already deleted their #believewomen tweets from the Kavanaugh hearings.

Meh. Can’t say I disagree. That doesn’t make me an Assadist either, never, even after my uncle was killed by HTS back there for being Shia did I support that man. It happens to be a position also shared by the State Department and Joe Biden, neither Assadists. Assad must go, yes, but without being replaced by Sunni…

Come the fuck on. She has Max Blumenthal on/boosts him all the time....the same Max who made fun of a dying Syrian child, has accused chemical attacks of being staged, who went on an expenses covered “visit” to Syria, and more. And she’s had plenty of Max adjacent people on her podcast & boosts them on twitter all the…

I think Jez is very liberal with how/when they switch between their “lol tabloid” and “Real Journalism™” hats. A lot of the time it’s something sort of in between—they get a-hold of the story, and give their take. In this case, the cat is out of the bag with regard to Reade—the internet hype machine is going, and now…

Couldn’t this outlet have done some investigative journalism of their own? How come they didn’t contact Reade? How come I have seen several more articles on this story pop up online with no further quotes from Reade? She did the podcast and... disappeared?

Democrats can do a little sexual assault, as a treat.

This. Also the “the media will publish without investigating” trope should have dissapated after the Washington Post repeatedly dunked on a Project Veritas attempt to float a false Roy Moore accusation (in order to discredit the other allegations). 

Idiots can be assaulted. And maybe she was. But it’s not unremarkable that by far the most serious accusation against the president’s general election opponent comes from a Putin zealot who took steps to hide evidence of that adoration when she chose to come forward with (at the time) less serious accusations.

Remember how much of the left/center-left treated Monica Lewinsky in the late 90's? And how everyone rallied to defend the creep who was absolutely in the wrong just because he was also the victim of right-wing smears?

Seriously, “look what she said about Putin, she must be lying” is almost like something I would see from a parody of some #Resistance boomer weirdo.

I mean, a pretty good heuristic if you don’t have time to wade through that tome they wrote is “If the Krassenstein’s said it, it’s bullshit.”  They are an absolute fucking joke, a pair of grifters that are the left’s equivalent of Silk and Diamond, only more shameless and less intelligent.  The only saving grace of…

So because of who they are, what they write and the evidence they link to can be dismissed wholesale, even though they write in the same outlet as the woman accusing, whose accusation you imply should be accepted wholesale without examining it?

This. It just means America will have to choose between a racist, authoritarian rapist with dozens of accusations against him, who thinks the solution to a pandemic is mass genocide to save capitalism, and Biden, who likes to hug people inappropriately, was accused of misconduct by one woman, and might not be as far…

Should these accusations be treated in a measured way? Yes.

Since you’re quoting from Medium, why not link to this article on Medium detailing why Reade’s accusations may lack credibility?

Last year she said Biden “invaded her space” and stroked her hair, and she says he digitally penetrated her without consent. Meanwhile, her tweet praising Putin was role-playing theoretical poetry, or something.

Liberals are throwing the “why now” attack at Tara. Which is the EXACT thing slung at Dr. Ford.

It took a lot of guts for her to come forward after the way Dr. Blasey Ford was treated and continues to get threats on her life.

I honestly and truly don't know what to believe anymore. The only ONLY thing I am sure of is that I will vote for whoever is running against Trump. 

Seen a lot of people ignoring this. Kudos for writing about it. Tara deserves to be heard.
