Naill O'Dowd
I kid...Irish Central (IC) has been a Left-wing sewer for a long time now, with the likes of Naill O'Dowd leading the pack. I don't even know where I got IC from...maybe Chief Mannix. He is, after all, "FBI" (Full Blooded Irish)...I'm kind of an amalgam or hybrid...a mutt, as they say, in the vernacular.
It's amazing, maybe more, it's sad that outlets like IC and The Irish voice, etc. are so Left-wing represent a group that tends to be traditionalist, fiercely Independent and non conformist...but I guess the same can be said for many groups. Hispanics tend to be overwhelmingly traditionalist, Independent and non conformist too, but their media also tends to lean overwhelmingly conformist Left.
It probably says more about the "literati" class around the world today. Hopefully that'll change.
In Naill O'Dowd's most recent piece, he fervently hopes America's women lead the way in a crushing November Blue Wave.
In his latest offering titled, "It is up to Women to Stop Trump’s Gallop in November" (https://www.irishcentral.com/news/women-trump-november-midterms?utm_campaign=Best+of+IrishCentral+-+2018-10-12&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Mailjet&fbclid=IwAR325yjOzIJwNQAR4bcTERBRVW4hgIaLDCXWlvP28-mrpVWIx5O6LiKEw5g), O'Dowd uses his platform to extol the same old goofy Leftism and bash the Left's latest boogeyman, Trump and adds a new assault on Due Process.
Judging from the comments by female readers in HIS own Comments Section, it appears old Naill's hopes might be dashed upon the rocky shores of reality.
O'Dowd's is a poorly thought out piece. At a time when, the Innocence Project is freeing hundreds of individuals wrongly convicted of sex crimes via DNA and when most Liberal thinking people are looking for more ways to protect the rights of the accused (I'd NEVER find anyone guilty of a felony without conclusive DNA, Video, or overwhelming hair, blood, fiber evidence), Naill joins that radical fringe that assails even the most basic Due Process.
Sadly, who can expect anything better from Mr. O'Dowd? He is consistently Left...constantly wrong.
Ms. Ford was abused by Senator Schumer's office, by their releasing a letter she'd wanted kept anonymous. Her claim was wholly unsubstantiated.
In reality, an accuser's passionate accusation RIGHTLY carries no more weight than the accused's flat, unemotional denial.
Ms. Ford and her advocates recognized they NEEDED to substantiate her allegations and she DID name four witnesses, NONE of whom supported her claims, ALL, in effect, testifying FOR Kavanaugh.
THAT was her case. Absent any witness corroboration, hers appears to be a malicious false accusation. Women have been successfully sued for Defamation over such unsubstantiated allegations and jailed for that crime when they've made false reports to Police.
Defamation DOES NOT require a police report being filed; "ANY public utterance that can be shown to be malicious and false constitutes Defamation," so Due Process, requiring every accusation to be substantiated is UNIVERSAL and NOT limited to criminal proceedings.
In the Kavanaugh Confirmation, a public Hearing, Due Process ABSOLUTELY applies.
Contrary to what Naill O'Dowd and the radical fringe seems to believe, not only are unsubstantiated accusations unable to be taken into account in job interviews, but TODAY, even well documented criminal records CANNOT bar people from most types of employment.
I DON'T necessarily believe that Ms. Ford made a deliberately false accusation, but I KNOW that those, like Naill O'Dowd who now rail against Due Process are a big part of an even bigger problem.
