Seriously? C’mon! The answer seems pretty obvious.

I guess. If being an amoral whore makes you a feminist.

Trump will trash his bitches. History shows that. Yet bitches keep showing up for duty.

Yeah. Read his bio. His detractors shut up in the immediate aftermath of his death.

Please teach me about history. I want to know more.

You are comparing Ailes to these historical figures. This guy ran a conservative news channel and may have sexually harassed some women because he could. Not a great guy but if I learn in the afterlife that he was in the top half of decent people, I would not be shocked.

On line. Not in public.Hamilton’s enemies to use a popular example— and he had a zillion — were very reserved when he was killed.

Your premise is flawed too. I’m sure he was a flawed dude. Saying he woke up with a purpose of making others unhappy is simply not reflected by any facts.

Fair question. Two points.

No. We can’t pin Iraq on Roger Ailes. Geez. He would not rank in the top 1000.

What has he done beyond that? Political ideology?

Being a Republican who was never convicted of a crime. We should have lynched him while he was here.

That is also a concern.

Victims? I guess. But context man. If you found out Mickey Mantle sexually harassed female Yankee employees, you would forget it by dinner.

I’m not sure I agree. I’m talking about in public forums, obviously. But our difference is not that important here, right?

Roger Ailes may have sexually harassed a few women. Athletes have done this repeatedly and it is a footnote in their obit Why is this case so special?

Right. I meant in every single case it NEVER happened. That was my point. You win.

This is a little beyond the pay grade of my post. I’m just saying we have a tradition, one that is grounded in human decency. We don’t have a ton of these so we should probably keep it going. Roger Ailes is also not Hiter or even Aaron Hernandez. He was a strong GOP guy - which is nearly half the country — and he was…

One new tradition gaining currency fast: sad people firing out insults on the Internet to people trying to have a conversation.

That’s right, although the reaction on the right is very different, of course, The question is whether we should follow our better angels and just shut up for a while, first.
