I’ve been a victim of a real rape, so some of this just seems way out of hand and overstated.

Leeann will definitely be making some campaign stops for whomever the GOP puts out there for his district.

The people voting for Roy Moore don’t believe he is guilty, because they are idiots. And his crimes are a hell of alot more serious than Franken’s.

I have a problem calling Al Franken a “sexual predator”. We have (so far at least, it may change) one unwanted kiss and one incidence of miming grabbing breasts without actually touching them. I’m not comfortable throwing around the term “sexual predator” so easily. At least not yet.

I swear to God I’m just going to start voting Republican. At least they care for their own. Round up the pitchforks you stupid fucking liberal morons.

Eliot Spitzer is forced to resign, meanwhile David Vitter is allowed to stay and in fact wins re election, still running as the “family values” candidate.

He doesn’t just proclaim it though, he has actually championed those rights. It’s not just lip service. I get your point, and he is rightfully being called out for that, and he himself has apologized on those grounds. But resigning? That would end any further championing of those rights.

 If he raped someone, physical assaulted them (not miming it at 2am on a flight, but actually doing it), coerced them into something, okay I get you. This isn’t that.

Sure. But calling for his resignation over it is completely idiotic. It’s falling into the trap set by the right that this clearly is. Franken has handled this with more class and dignity than it warrants, quite frankly, and the Left Wing Internet Outrage Machine needs to put their pitchforks back in the barn.

So you think people are irredeemable? And that there’s no opportunity for forgiveness? There’s no chance he’s evolved as a person since this incident?

NOPE!

It would take a NASA weather balloon to reach the saddle of the horse some folks are sitting on.

You are getting (kind of) shit on, but you’re absolutely right.

Literally no one, including Franken, has said the joke was funny.

I swear to God I’m just going to start voting Republican. At least they care for their own. Round up the pitchforks you stupid fucking liberal morons.

By the end of the year, Roy Moore will be a Senator and Al Franken won’t. Go figure.

Her politics vs. his politics and the timing of this accusation culturally just don’t pass the smell test for me. This isn’t a dozen women coming out of the woodwork like Cosby or Weinstein or Moore, this is a single woman with a clear agenda with a sketchy story.

“dismissing this or her account of him forcibly kissing her just because she supports Trump or Hannity.”

Dismissing no, but Hannity and Trump are liars, with a publicly verifiable track record of doing so.

Looking at the people still supporting Moore (and more specifically their stated reasons for doing so), even if …

No, he’s miming grabbing her breasts. It’s gross, but it’s not assault.

Can we at least bear in mind that the accuser is a Hannity disciple and the “journalist” in the linked tweet works for the Washington Examiner and uses a photo of herself with Trump on her Twitter feed?
