Lookie here GCF, the Fraken file is filling up with misconduct:

Please keep up with your faux outrage that these are innocent people being targeted because of a single he said/she said account and we are a bloodthirsty lynch mob for believing it. Oh, and RUSSIA! GOP super secret conspiracy!Stephanie Kemplin, 41, of Maineville, Ohio, is the fifth woman in two weeks to accuse Franken of inappropriate touching, and the second person to allege that such behavior took place while Franken was on a USO tour. Three of the five women have been identified by name.

Growing respect for Donna Brazile. At least someone in the party is starting to sober up.
Bill Clinton’s accusers deserved to be heard, Donna Brazile says during Miami visit
Bill Clinton’s accusers deserved to be heard, Donna Brazile says during Miami visit
Brazile called Wasserman Schultz a spendthrift who unleashed a “cancer” on the party during her term as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, accused Hillary Clinton of planting the seeds of her own campaign’s destruction with an arrogant disdain for advice and suggested however gently that the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual improprieties should have gotten a more respectful reception.
Account abandoned.

Sorry, no respect from me. She's way too late on this to get any kudos for speaking out now. She's riding the wave to get political points, not because she really gives a damn.Kath wrote:Growing respect for Donna Brazile. At least someone in the party is starting to sober up.

The Brazille stuff is interesting. It seems the Seth Rich murder changed her perspective and once she was at the head of the DNC she was further enlightened. I trashed her as the puck for the DNC because of her funneling questions to the campaign, but now, fow whatever reasons she is on a crusade to save her party.
Good for her.

Re: And another one bites the dust...
The number of accusors means jack. We have seen time and time again how, once the ball starts rolling, women will pile on with accusations. Read about that liberal radio personality in Canada (I think his name was Gomeshi) who went on trial for rape because a number of women started accusing him. His lawyers subpoenaed phone records and it turned out these women were all coordinating it on SMS. Not long ago some high school girls all collaborated to "punish" a boy who had rejected them. They too all collaborated to make the appearance of a pattern of behavior.
When women come at you, it is almost always coming in the form of reputation destruction. Just because that sort of thing is pathetic in the context of masculiniuty doesn't mean women think and feel the same way. Think about how women even plot and scheme against each other -- all the fucking time -- to destroy reputations, friendships, etc.
Just having a number of women making similar allegations does not imply guilt at all.
Even though I would be more credulous if a number of unrelated men made allegations like that against somebody, I still would not allow it to enter into any equation as to whether somebody is truly guilty.
In a lot of these cases, I suspect it is true, but I really do not know, and allegations years later with no substantive proof won't cut it.
With respect to Franken.. Though I thoroughly dislike the man, these accusations don't convince me of much. He had a bad sense of humor, which has been obvious for many years anyway. A "joke" photo of him reaching for a sleeping woman's breasts, while not funny and offensive, is not the same as him actually grabbing the woman's breasts. It's good enough reason to not re-elect him, however.
What really angers me here is that most of these women are starting a moral panic over shit that women have done to me, and probably most of you, throughout your lives. Women grabbing my dick to see if I want to have sex happened. Waking up passed out from drinking to a women on top of me happened. Women I didn't even know have grabbed my ass in public (bars and clubs).
I think women need to look in the mirror here. I never did this type of shit to women, but I never tried to turn them doing it as a rape hysteria either. It's shitty behavior all around, but it's not a gendered phenomenon at all.

I get your views. IMO, we need to support anyone willing to help expose the corruption in Washington
