On Oct. 15, 1991, the United States Senate confirmed Clarence Thomas as the 106th Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Clarence's nomination was viciously and unethically fought by white racist liberals, black Democrat socialists, Hard-left radicals, militant feminists and pro-abortionist. They tried to destroy Clarence Thomas because they did not want a "black conservative" U.S. Supreme Court Justice. When they couldn't defeat him on the merits of his qualifications, they falsely accused him of sexual harassment.

I am proud to say that I played a role in defeating this dastardly attack. I am proud to say that those of us who believe in truth, freedom, personal responsibility and the ability of all of God's children to achieve their greatest carried the day. I am proud to say that Clarence Thomas has made an outstanding Supreme Court Justice and has brought honor to Yale Law School.

Two thousand, eight hundred and seventy-three days have passed since the Senate said "YES" to Clarence. However, the hard-left won't leave him alone. They continue to attack and pillory him while they make excuse after excuse for another Yale Law School grad, Bill Clinton. A man who has disgraced the presidency, his family and the world.

During the next two weeks, the Showtime cable channel will air an attack pseudo documentary about the 1991 confirmation hearings called "Strange Justice." This piece-of-trash movie is based upon a 1994 hatchet-job book written by two feminist enemies of black conservatives. Their book and the Showtime movie distort the truth, leave out key evidence and try to do in the press what the enemies of truth couldn't do with a Democrat-controlled Senate.

Strange Justice is based upon two lies. First, that Clarence was the pawn of white conservatives. The second lie was that the Senate prevented other women, who were credible, from testifying that Clarence has sexually harassed them also. Both arguments are absolutely false. Nevertheless, racist white liberals cannot accept the idea that Americans of colors can reject socialist liberalism for capitalist conservatism.

I know Anita Hill. She lied. I know Clarence Thomas. He told the truth. Those are the facts, but Showtime doesn't care about the facts. As the hearings were ending, eight women who worked with Clarence testified in his defense. Even the book admits that their testimony was powerful. Nevertheless, the moving testimony of those eight brave women was left out of the movie. White liberal racists don't want to be bothered by the facts when they are spinning their web of lies.

The eight women, some of whom had been the victims of real sexual harassment and sexual abuse, testified that Clarence was a good man. They testified about working with Clarence late at night and not experiencing any of Anita's fantasies. They testified about how they could talk to Clarence about the sexual harassment and abuse that they experienced. They testified that Anita was a scheming gold-digger who couldn't trick Clarence into falling for her. They put the final nail in Anita's coffin. Showtime's failure to include them in its sordid little movie is prime evidence of the evil political intent of Strange Justice.

The good news is that Clarence is on the court. The good news is that they can continue their attacks, and he will continue to be a great Supreme Court Justice. My message to white liberal racists is Clarence's message to them: Get over it. We reject your "minority victim" mantle. We can think for ourselves, thank you. We are here to stay.

To appreciate Showtime's crime against a good man, let's compare the charges against Clarence and the U.S. Senate rejected with the charges against Bill Clinton that he admitted. Let's then look at how the hard-left, radical feminists, pro-abortionist, white racist liberals and black Democrat socialists treated Clarence and Bill. If, after this analysis, you believe that liberals respect people of color, Democrats respect the truth and Bill Clinton doesn't lie, feel free to continue living in your own fantasy world.

Clarence upset many liberals when he said that he was the victim of a "high tech" lynching. However, if you look at the facts, it's hard to come to any other conclusion. Both Clarence and Bill are Yale Law graduates. Bill Clinton did things that they never even accused Clarence of. Nevertheless, while the liberals continue to vilify Clarence, they told the world that Bill could do nothing that would justify his removal from office.

When Anita Hill slithered out from under her rock, liberals said that it didn't matter if "that woman" said Clarence never touched her. However, white liberal racist have a double standard for white liberal presidents. When, pray tell, will Showtime air a movie about the president who inserted a cigar up a federal employee's genitals in the People's House? When will Showtime air a movie about Juanita Broaddrick's rape charges? When will Showtime air a movie about Jennifer Flower's cocaine-use charges? When will Showtime tell the truth?

In 1991, liberals said that Anita Hill was a victim of a vicious sexual harassment even though she admitted that she continued to call Clarence for years after she left Washington, D.C. During the impeachment saga, they defended Bill Clinton by claiming that he was ministering to a "disturbed young woman" by having phone sex with her while his wife was sleeping.

In 1991, liberals said that they believed Anita's story that Clarence had sexually harassed her. They conveniently ignored the fact that she invited Clarence to be the keynote speaker for a Sexual Harassment Conference at Oral Roberts University after she left Washington, D.C. Now they say that it simply doesn't matter if the president of the United States lied under oath in a federal lawsuit, before a federal grand jury and to the American people.

How long would Clarence Thomas have lasted if his defense to Anita Hill's charges had been that oral sex wasn't sex? How long would Clarence Thomas have lasted if he claimed that he hadn't committed perjury because "it depended upon what the definition of the word "is" is?"

Don't expect Showtime to deal with any of these factual issues. Strange Justice isn't about the truth, it isn't about facts and it isn't about justice. It is yet another manifestation of the hard-left's anguish that they couldn't destroy an outstanding American on the altar of radical feminism and baby killing. It is their primal scram that for eight years, Clarence has been a key vote to keep the federal government in line.

If Strange Justice was just the sophomoric ranting of spoiled brats who didn't get their way, it would be bad enough. However, the horror of Strange Justice is that it is a brazen attempt to distort history and poison the minds of millions of viewers. Even worse, it is an unprincipled attack on a very decent man.

If you care about freedom, liberty and the truth, e-mail Showtime's office and tell them that you are canceling your subscription. If you don't subscribe, e-mail them anyway. Tell them that they have lost you forever as a potential subscriber. Let these liars know that they will pay a price for their campaign of lies and hate.
