Apparently Tara Reade's dad wrote a novel with a sex scene that seems very familiar

[Loki Liesmith]

This is, to say the least, curious.

on edit: I'm trying to obfuscate the link a little as it's graphic and I don't want people to be upset...

1. WOW!

K&R for visability!

[The Magistrate]

2. Interesting, Sir

[Loki Liesmith]

3. Thank you, guv'nor.

4. Your link doesn't work.

Get rid of the question mark and everything after it, add https:// to the beginning, and it will work. See:

[Loki Liesmith]

5. Thanks...I was trying to keep it from autoloading into view.

as I'm not sure everyone will want to read it.

[MineralMan]

6. Yeah, but doing that also makes it difficult for people to go there

to see the Tweet.

[DonaldsRump]

8. Why not? Tara and her enablers

have done a swell job in getting a similarly graphic story out in the msm every day!

Moulton's book is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Loss-Love-Story-Bob-Moulton/dp/1452009554

[Loki Liesmith]

11. yeah but there are rape survivors on this board

And I'm just trying to be considerate.

[Celerity]

54. that scene in the tweet is not a rape scene, just really shite writing

[JHB]

24. Technical advice

Instead of pasting the URL (which would auto-display), write some text and use DU's "link" function to link the text to the URL.

Then what people would see is linked text that they could click on. That should be fine as long as you describe what's at the link and why some might want to avoid it.

10. Yes - Biden is being swiftboated

so here are the facts:

Tara Reade has written positively about Biden for decades
Memory changes over time
Her father wrote a book that has a passage that matches her accusation
There are no police records
She could have been upset in 1993 for any number of reasons if she did tell other people SOMETHING. If Biden was touchy feely, that was not a crime in 1993 and why did she write positive letters for decades on Biden.

there is nothing here accept an attempt to swiftboat another Democratic candidate.

now lets talk about proven accusations on trump including his words on a tape about grabbing women by the puss*

[Orangepeel]

18. that is nothing like her story

similarities: both are fiction, both involve fingers up a skirt. That's it.

I was going to say both involve fingers in a vagina, but I can't actually tell which orifice is involved in the book.

Does Sleepy Kyle think he's helping by making shit up? Don't we have enough people making shit up?

(is it "word for word" because "skirt" and "fingers" are both words?)

[MineralMan]

19. Yes, both are fiction, most likely.

I was just trying to make it easier for DUers to see what was being talked about.

[Orangepeel]

25. If you hadn't posted the text, I wouldn't have read it

and it wouldn't be clear that "Sleepy Kyle" was posting nonsense. So thanks. I appreciate it.

[MineralMan]

29. I think people need to read what is at sources, rather

than depend on someone to write an accurate account of such information.

[Hortensis]

49. "That's it?" It's very like her story, except that

my guess had been that Trump's attempts at finger rape may have been her inspiration.

[Orangepeel]

50. it is nothing like her story

her story, which I don't find credible, is that Senator Biden pushed her up against a wall in a hallway, stuck her fingers in her vagina, and then said "I thought you like me" and "you mean nothing to me."

The circled paragraph is about a woman who flirted with a guy in a bar and then had consensual sex in a hotel room after he stuck her fingers into an unspecified orifice.

Her father wrote a book with a cheesy sex scene in it, but I can't figure out what that has to do with her story.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

7. Hmmm - was it written before or after 1993? seems to me like that is pertinent info. If it was

before, it would mean one thing, if after then it would mean something else.

[Loki Liesmith]

9. that really depends

on her "corroboraters" truthfulness.

[MineralMan]

12. It was first published in 1998

Loss, A Love Story

[Lulu KC]

31. "Romance novel"

I am laughing, and sad, and curious about where the scars on her arms came from, but not enough to read this book!

[MineralMan]

34. Bodice Ripper Novel.

Ick. Poo.

[Lulu KC]

46. This one reads like it's lacking in hygiene

Where's the castle? Where's the wildflower meadow?

[MineralMan]

47. Romance Novels are a very, very weird genre.

They come in different degrees of erotic content, to suit the "sensibilities" of different audiences.

[Chiyo-chichi]

40. "Published..." yes, technically, but "self-published" would be more accurate.

AuthorHouse is a vanity press headquartered in my town.
They'll publish pretty much anything one pays them to publish.
I'm agnostic on whether there's any connection to Tara Reade's allegations, but after one glance at that sample, I wasn't a bit surprised that this is an AuthorHouse book.
I realize you're just answering the question about the date of publication. No knock on you and I'm sure you're aware of this publication model. I just wanted to put this out there.

[MineralMan]

41. Yes. It's doubtful that many people read that novel.

Tara might have, though, and that passage might have stuck in her brain.

[Lulu KC]

27. Yes, but/and

If he wrote it after, taking a story his daughter may have told him in which she described herself as a victim, and he turned it into a sexual fantasy that became part of a book? I'm even more creeped out than I was before!

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

32. Yeah, I know - both ways are creepy nt

[Drunken Irishman]

13. Not sure if this proves much...

It would have been more damning had the book been released before the supposed allegations occurred but it looks like it was written in 1998 (conflicting reports on this but after the incident), years after the event.

One could reason the father was inspired to write about the events after being informed of this by his daughter. It might lack overall tact but it doesn't prove much except that the story likely existed within the family for a minute.

[Loki Liesmith]

15. Proof is impossible. But it does not exactly enhance her credibility.

And honestly...what kind of father would incorporate the assault of his daughter into what appears to be a consensual sex scene?
That would be a pretty monstrous thing to do.

[Drunken Irishman]

20. She also claims her father abused her.

So, who knows? It's something that could be spun by either side. It'd be more damning if the book had been written before the events - not after.

[Lulu KC]

28. Yilch

This whole thing is just getting more and more tawdry and depressing the more I know.

Tara, take whatever you have in your head out of the news and into a therapist's office.

[OKNancy]

23. She didn't make up the details

until recently. In her mind she could have taken the more graphic details knowingly or unknowingly from her recollection.

[Happy Hoosier]

37. Wait, so you would find it credible...

That a father would write a scene like that of he heard a story of sexual assault from his daughter?

What kind of sick fuck would do that?

It might not be impossible, but it's another of a LONG string of "not impossible, but suspicious" circumstances.

[Drunken Irishman]

39. Lots of people do incredulous things.

I'm saying this doesn't prove much of anything. It would be more damning if his book had come out before the supposed incident.

[Happy Hoosier]

42. Well, when you get a long string of incredulous things....

... maybe it doesn't prove your liar, but it sure doesn't bolster your credibility either.


To me, her claims fall well below the credibility threshold, and I am generally inclined to believe accusations of sexual assault.

She is definitely a flim flan artist.

36. Read this entire post, and,

Dang-that Tara chick is a complete piece of work. Unbelievable that she’s gotten away with her shady behavior for all of these years. Hope it all catches up with her now.

[GemDigger]

38. That was an interesting read. The lady is a con artist looking for attention.

There is a reason the major papers are NOT reporting on this and that is because she is a liar and a con.

21. Check out her response to Ryan Grim about WHEN to send out the allegations!

I cannot read his tweet but hers says,

"Yea Timing ..... Wait for it...Tic Toc"

And she did wait, until right after he won the presidential primary.
