Sarah Thompson's story has holes

Posted By: Jerry Agar · 3/8/2013 9:29:00 PM

Why didn’t the public rise up in anger against Toronto Mayor Rob Ford when former mayoral candidate and Women’s Post publisher Sarah Thomson accused him of sexual assault and substance abuse at a party held by the Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee Thursday evening?

Perhaps most of the public doesn’t believe her. A crowded room full of potential witnesses which has so far provided none and the shifting nature of her story hour by hour perhaps made people forego their usual inclination to come to the defence of a woman wronged.

Read the rest here.

    The more "piling on" there is on the Mayor, the less I belive it. If this lady has a legitimate complaint against the Mayor let her make it to the police and let them investigate. Methinks this is nothing but political opprtunism on her part given that she couldn't wait to hit the talk shows with "her story" but she's not willing to back it up in official channels.

    ....because Sarah is talking through her butt!

    Me thinks it is a case of 'HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED'. Ford was not going along with Sarah's agenda (the e-mail from Sarah Thompson that Ford showed to Holiday before the event on Thursday). She then concocted a scheme to destroy Ford in the process.

    ...and then it blew up in her face.

    Somebody prove to me that this is not a plausible situation.

    She put a value on her own future career and decided to go out with a bang.

    She seemed to go from victim to media campaigner in a matter of hours.

    Her story has more holes than the Tim Horton's bake shop.

    And there are numerous credible people to refute various parts of her story.

    The one that hangs her is the guy in this interview, because he was next in line when Thompson stood beside Mayor Ford.

    If she can't prove an allegation like the one she made, and there are many people to be called to refute her version of events, a successful defamation suit seems likely (if Ford wishes to pursue it).

    Lier lier pants on fire....she has been caught, she is desperate...the kicker was when she said she was doing it for all the other women. LOL really, thats her story?

    only 2 people know the real truth. Ford and Thompson.
    I still don't buy she cooked this all up on purpose and decided to tell people there and go up a second time to get pic taken all a plan. don't buy it. I don't think Ford would be that stupid also in a crowded place to grab some rump. well...?
    the dude with a scotch. his story has holes all over it. he never told Jerry he was wearing sunglasses. I believe her story on this "yeah right I'm drinking scotch" sarcastically! I think he took her words out of context. He was probably feeling good. He admitted he was drinking.
    I think it's a different question did she handled it right from the question of what really happened.
    the question that needs to be answered in my opinion is why would anyone wait in Line to get their pic taken with a big fat guy looking lune crap with sweat and slop all over his shirt. what am I going to do with that image?

    She sacrificed herself for the good of the Left. Slitherman,Vaughn,Mcginty, Paul Magner and Yoko Chow paid her off. Check her bank account.
    They want Rob Ford out of office so badly; it is an obsession but to the citizens misfortune it screws up business in the City. I can not recall such obsession about one man. Could it really be Love.

    WHO took the photo that all media outlets are using? The one where Rob Ford is blinking but looks wasted? Thomson and Rob are facing a different way I am quite sure either on John Moore show or Jerry Agar's she said she took it. That she had taken a couple (telephone camera). When asked why she chose that particular photo
    she said something about being the only one in that phone camera. Does anyone else remember hearing that conversation. ? She must have been over the moon that one turned out so badly of Rob Ford

    I listened to her interview with John Tory on Friday, and was really disgusted. She strggled to put together a "story", and was not even with confident. The more she says the more she is destoring herself. A "political career"? No way.

    I find the most upsetting part of this is that she seems to think that sexual assualt is a good subject for campaign fodder. She's not dumb, she knows some would immediately point out the criminality, while others would "unconsciounable defend" the mayor. But she is tryinmg to make others push her hatred for her... she intentionally forwent investigation or any channel that would lead to one. She has gone out of her way to make as much noise with as little facts as possible while making sure that division is the order of the day, resolution?? who wants that?

    At the rate this is going there are several inconsistences that have happened, and this is not unusual in a sex assault case except to people like Christie Blatchford that has never seen an assaulted woman. Since the mayor has also decided to go after Thompson on a radio station, now the best option is for Thompson to go to a court of law and file a case of sexual assault against Rob Ford. And this is helping us this way, I need to listen to Thompson under oath testifying that the mayor sexually assaulted her, as I need to hear the mayor under oath denying this charge. Let us get out of he said and she said let us go to court and listen to what both have to state under oath. Secondly, Mayor Ford has had a different issue in his office, when he started to be a mayor he had women on his executive, and somehow they all started to resign or to quite. I need all of them dragged up to court and under oath state if the reason they failed to work in his office was due to sexual harassment. If Rob Ford is a woman sexual abuser Thompson is not his first victim, there has to be another woman out there that was made uncomfortable by him and their keeping quite can be stopped if the mayor is in court and under oath. Thompson yes can be labeled as a liar, but this is too much to all be created by a liar. And in all men that are out there it is interesting why she is lying on only Rob Ford. But it is interesting that Thompson’s involvement with the law in Hamilton has been raised on CFRB this morning, but the many times the Police was called to Mayor Ford’s home is not mentioned. Let us remember where we are coming from, when his family was a daily occurrence to television as a counselor where Police was called and his family on television, why is that information also not raised? It should be fair reporting if it is reporting.

    At this point I see no alternative but Thompson to walk to a judge and file a sexual assault charge against the mayor.

      @EM " I need all of them dragged up to court and under oath state if the reason they failed to work in his office was due to sexual harassment." right, so his whole life should be in question now, but we should not question her integrity or motives or authenticity because that is insensitive? Now, the myor should jump through hoops to disprove something that there is no evidence of... do you people listen to yourselves?? innocent until proven guilty... which co-incidentally is why this was not formally reported. You all reqire FAR less evidence for conviction.

      @EM If a charge was laid, Ford would not be obligated to answer anything under oath!
      He would have the right to remain silent.
      The onus on proof rests with the crown attorney, with Sarah as the main witness. She WOULD have to testify under oath.
      Ford doesn't owe anybody anything!
      It would be his choice on whether to testify, or not.
      His choice, and his choice only!

    When I was 16, a man tried to grope me and knock me down while I walked to work in the evening. I reflexively shouted, punched him in the head and chased him down the street. I was shocked and taken aback when a neighbour did not call the police. This was many years ago. But police should have been caled. Such an attack merits a police investigation. A groping? I would shout and slap. Never would I just go to facebook as Ms Thomson did. Nor plot devious revenge, as she also did.

    When explaining The Set-Up, Sarah has a slip of the tongue which told the whole story. She said she and Sarah Patterson had to "get him out". Meaning out of office. She stammered and changed the words to stop him and catch him, When explaining why they were forming the set up. She talked so much she told on herself later in the afternoon on Friday.

    Well well thank God that created Sandra and Christie Blatchford that wrote the Bible of sexually assaulted women and how they react. You see it is these kids of people why our children have been molested in Hockey and no one dared to stand. I repeat myself, Thompson has no other way to solve this out, she has to walk to a police station and file a sexual assault report. For if you listen to several radio stations we have started to get reports about Rob Ford. Sandra Thompson yes society has decided to go after you, but so has it gone after every single raped woman in this city. Stand up and file a sexual abuse charge. Let us get everyone on a statement and under oath. And Sandra you have stood up and unlike the rest of women that have passed through this city hall, you have spoken out, and the response is that you do not have both hands on the deck, what is there now for you to lose? Go to the court and file an official complaint of sexual assault.

    Sandra Thompson that is the only alternative you have trust me, that case can actually become very interesting.
