Thomas said Hill was the tool of liberal activist groups "obsessed" with abortion and outraged because he didn't fit their idea of what an African-American should believe.
"The mob I now faced carried no ropes or guns," Thomas wrote of his confirmation hearings. "Its weapons were smooth-tongued lies spoken into microphones and printed on the front pages of America's newspapers . . . But it was a mob all the same, and its purpose -- to keep the black man in his place -- was unchanged."
