I'm for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Aren't you?
1) Her story, insofar as I have read about it, is entirely credible;
2) She has shown incredible courage in allowing herself to be identified;
3) She is under threat not only from the yahoos hounding her on the Internet, who have gone so far that she has been forced to leave her home; but also from establishment white male politicians, including some on the Senate judiciary committee. Why should she be prepared to be "interviewed" by hostile men whose words have shown that their minds are already made up?
4) Her story is one that rings true to me (as a schoolboy, I was also subject to public abuse by a self-infatuated bully), as well as to untold numbers of women who have experienced the same, or similar humiliation.
She is right, The FBI should be instructed to investigate her allegations before she agrees to appear before the Judiciary Committee and the country on national television. She deserves to have the support of a factual investigation in the face of sheer emotional hostility, white male privilege, and prejudice.
Vote the entire Democratic ticket in November. Ask your Republican friends to do the same, if they truly wish to save our threatened democracy.
