Next up on the Sexual Misconduct Parade - Al Franken!

[Snouter]

Hannity is talking about Al "The Groper" Franken live NOW! Al "The Groper" Franken actually chased Hannity around the office one time. Hannity thought he would have to kick his ass to get him to stop!

 

[Rambunctious]

Wow this democrat dirty trick shit storm is ensnaring a lot of people...Nice

 

[paperview]

I wonder why this woman is NOT calling for Franken to step down?

Maybe this one will.

For being "badgered" about CBO numbers?

Senator Al Franken Kissed and Groped Me Without My Consent, And There’s Nothing Funny About It

even has a picture in there grabbing the breasts of the woman on the USO tour while she was sleeping.

he needs to resign and step down.

The bat shit crazy fucker should be endlessly Ridiculed for his hypocrisy

I don't think anybody takes him very serious, or I would at least hope not.

No doubt, only stupid fuckers think of him as anymore than an ass-clown...

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Yes, one admitted his wrong doing and one claims he is being framed, as other politicians have been framed over the past few years.

More and more is coming out, as some point you gotta decide whether this "I was framed" narrative is believable or not. For me that was out the window when accuser number 4 came out and I listened to her account of what happened.

Well, he may or may not have done that, frankly, we'll never know. I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially given she waited 4 decades and on the eve of an election to allege this. Doesn't pass the smell test, at least for me.

She didn't wait then drop the bomb on him. Look at what REALLY happened. Moore hit the public eye and his opposition started digging. The rumors of his sexual past with minors had been floating around for a long time and some reporters started digging. It took them a long time to get several women and dozens of sources to go on record. Yes it was a political hit piece. That doesn't mean it is false. It came out because of the election and the efforts of reports and Moore opponents. That doesn't mean it is false.

It is as true as it is false; we'll never know frankly. Are you comfortable labeling man a pedophile based on rumors? I'm not.

Im not either, but i'm fine doing it when 6 women come forward and tell their accounts and when dozen of others back up their stories saying that they have known about it for years. That is much more than rumors.

I'm not deflecting here, but Clinton had many more accusers of sexual abuse. And I tend to agree with you on a level, if it were just one, meh. But 1,2 3,4?

Why is this whole thing starting to remind me more and more of the Salem Witch Trials?

The difference of course is that in many of these situations there is a valid complaint to be made, but the tone of the situation seems to be devolving into hysteria.

The situation with Bill Cosby started the wheels turning. Then all the firings at Fox Noise. Then the Weinstein thing got it off and running, which probably prompted women in Alabama to say...#MeToo, and so Roy Moore gets rightfully swept up in it just like Al Franken has now. So yo can see, it's something that has unfolded over the last few years. No hysteria here. Just an awakening. And one long overdue.

Nah, what prompted alabama was pure political gamesmanship. The problem with releasing a lion into the lion pit is that it usually can't tell the Christians from the guards.

the dems set the scandal then get all surprised when it comes back on them.

 

[martybegan]

I see that the top republican did not wanted to respond on the Al Franken matter. And everyone else just want an investigation on it before responding about it. But they all prejudged Senator Moore, and want him to step down before any investigation is done.

Al Franken IMMEDIATELY owned it, in case you've already forgotten, and has issued a statement.
Roy Moore keeps denying as more women (9 now) come forward.

He "owned' it with a 'ha, ha I thought is was a joke ha ha" non-apology apology.

 

[Slade3200]

If that is all he did, you are saying this is perfectly acceptable behavior, not sexist or a violation of her rights, dignity, etc....

Really? Im I saying that? Take a breath and try real hard to be honest for just one post... What have I said 6 different times in my conversation with you? I've even counted it off each time i've said it. Come on, what is the phrase that i've said?

You keep justifying his physical assault of her, an assault she had to fight off.

If a girl decides to kiss out and make out with you, it is her choice. When she decides it has gone far enough, it has gone far enough. 'no' means 'no'.

She had to fight him off because he did not accept her 'no'.

It is not justifiable.

Strike 1: try again and answer my question. What have I said 6 times in my conversation with you?

 

[Snouter]

These might be collector items now!

 

[hadit]

Let's do the same we wanted for Moore. We need evidence that he actually did it.. Oh wait, we have it. I expect massive outrage from the usual suspects any day now.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That photo was supposed to be a joke. Try having sex with someone full clothed and in a kevlar vest. Big turn on for you?
Of course there aren't any pictures of Moore ACTUALLY assaulting the girls, because predators don't take pictures of that.

Al did a lot of lowbrow humor some of which was indeed tasteless by today's standards. To me, the picture looks posed ..

We'll see

Yeah, he posed for it while she was asleep.

Next deflection please!

 

[The VOR]

Again for the 7th time, he crossed a line,

Bwuhahaha.....

She stated he physically grabbed her and forcibly kissed her, that she had to FIGHT HIM OFF....

You just can't bring yourself to call what he did what it truly was - a sexual assault.

Why are snowflakes so eager to label Republicans 'child molesters', rapists, and evil monsters but can't get past excusing their own sexual predators as having 'crossed a line'?!

Everything Democratic, bad, bad, bad.
Everything Republican, good, good, good.

My side is always right.
Your side is always wrong.

It never changes with you, does it, you pathetic partisan hack.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[WEATHER53]

It's the Dem playbook to accuse you to try and create cover for the very real fact that they are doing exactly what they accuse you of but only worse
It's kinda like the new "racist" label
Being called that stopped people dead in their tracks for years, it's been exposed as the ploy it was, now it's on to Russians and sexual misconduct

He had no choice. The proof was in the pudding. Well in the photo...

 

[Slade3200]

Wonder if she'll accept an apology.

Morgan is complaining about a political argument, nothing sexual at all... He accused her of using false numbers during a television discussion and wanted to correct the record. Again, nothing sexual is implied at all.

because the floodgates have been opened up.

i don't disagree there are some asshole men out there. we're seeing far too much of it and to a point i'm glad we're finding out just who these people are. but to the other point, we weren't around for a picture, we don't know the entire story and i still think if you didn't stop him 10 years ago, why bother now?

fad. pop culture. trend.

but if we're calling for moores head based on accusations and mob justice, gotta take diaperboy also.

Funny thing about floods is they don't discriminate as long as you are in the floodplain.

Agreed. Purge both sides of sexual harassers and assaulters. Demonize them on both sides of the aisle.

 

[Slade3200]

She stated that she agreed to kiss him you dumb ass, read the article.

I did, Slade.

I must have missed her 'snowflake/liberal speak' when she said:

"Tweeden said Franken repeatedly pressured her to practice the kiss backstage and at one point forcibly kissed her.

“I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time,” she wrote. “I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.” Tweeden said she felt “disgusted and violated” – and that the abuse didn’t stop there."

-- Al Franken accused of kissing, groping LA TV host without consent

Can you please point out in this sexual assault where Tweeden agreed to kiss her attacker?


Did she somehow agree to let him feel her up while she slept, too?

"“I couldn’t believe it,” she wrote. “He groped me, without my consent, while I was asleep. I felt violated all over again. Embarrassed. Belittled. Humiliated. How dare anyone grab my breasts like this and think it’s funny?”

Let me guess, you were a frat boy in college...or at least one of those guys who never took 'no' for an answer because 'whenever a girl says 'no' she really means 'Yes'?!

These are HER words from her article....

"He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth."

As for the gropping, he was posing for a picture acting like he was grabbing her boobs. "Gropping" is the inflamatory talking point being thrown out, thanks for showing you're a puppet."

No I wasn't in a Frat, I wanted nothing to do with Frat boys in College, I have a younger sister and have always treated women the same way I would want my sister treated. I would not want my sister treated the way Franken treated this women so for the 6th time I'll say that his actions were wildly inappropriate.

I've also posed in pictures acting like a was humping friends when they were passed out. It was all in good fun, not meant to be a sexual assault, but I think you understand that...

I'm not making excuses for Franken, but I am looking for an honest account of whats going on.

He was touching her chest which was protected by the vest...if you walked up on a female soldier and touched the vest over her breasts, you'd be as guilty of assault as if you'd put your hands on her bare skin.

Again for the 7th time, he crossed a line, it was inappropriate, it wasn't sexual assault. If it was then we can go through Facebook and arrest thousands of people who have taken similar photos. Is that what you'd like to do?

Also, she wasn't just random women, they had been touring for weeks doing comedy sketches for the troops, including a sexually charged skit with eachother. Obviously, by her account she was disgusted by Franken and didn't want anything to do with him. He was obviously infatuated with her and acted way to casually and much to aggressively towards her.

Go back and read again. I never said it was sexual assault. I said it was simple assault and as he touched the vest she was wearing, it was battery as well.

What is "assault and battery"? - Rottenstein Law Group LLP

You are joking right?

Looks like there won't be any left.
