Al Franken Has Long History of Sexual Misconduct Jokes Before Accusation of Groping Woman’s Breasts

How you equate prison to to encouraging felonies is interesting. But I see you can't drop the blind partisanship even for a second, so I guess it does make sense.

Dunno what you are blathering about but you sure effed up the point.

Common response when one has nowhere to go, but thinks they can 'win' if they get the last word. So 7th grade, but ok.

Since you seem to need it more than I do, go ahead and reply. I'll let you have your 'win'. ;)

Arrogant. Yes. I should have used that word.
As senator he tends to put on a sarcastic snarky show as though that's what he's there for.
His questioning of committee witnesses are long rambling statements that you expect will have to end with "Make a question out of that and answer it."

I have definitely noticed that. I believe that he sincerely believes he is better than others and only he is wise enough to make decisions.

Let’s watch the Socialists of America Partei (SAPs) and their propaganda arm, the Goebbels Inspired Media Propagandists (GIMPs) mount a defense for this Senate member.

It’s a tough time for the SAPs and GIMPs, as they’re not used to exposing and ejecting perverts from their party. They usually find a way to aggressively defend their perverts, rapists and criminals... as they have no moral compass.

In the words of Al Davis, their motto is “Just Win Baby”... regardless of what lies, deceits and destruction one must tell.

That Franken has a long history of being a comedian is news to you? The problem with your meme is the only valid accuser has accepted his apology and has also stated that she does not think he is a predator and should remain in the Senate. You don't get to be more upset than the accuser.

That's an example of an inability not to be able to make distinctions, understand context or not understand that zero tolerance doesn't apply every time. We don't even sentence all murders to death.

If we were all judged by our worst moments, we'd all be toast. These are the facts as I see them:

Roy Moore was a creep 40 years ago (whose accusations were crimes) and remains a creep today, who refuses to acknowledge that he did anything wrong and be a better person. Instead of owning up, he doubles down and blames his accusers.

Franken is not a sexist and women that worked with him report he was utmost respectful. He's about the most decent person anyone can meet. He's championed women's causes and legislation.

As a comic, he pushed the envelope by making what was supposed to be a joke, but ended up being offensive. He's learned from that and apologized for what he did -- which was not in the same league as Moore's acts. His apology was accepted and that should be the end of it.

Sure, perhaps I was overzealous with saying "all the bums" should be thrown out. I still stand by my point that blindly defending someone based on their political lean isn't unique to either side. Also I should clarify there are sensible people on both sides capable of context and such, but lets be honest, both sides have their "my side good your side bad 100% of the time" camp.

Frankin had 9 years to apologize, but kept his mouth shut while this Roy Moore scandal gained traction.

You people are such hypocrites

Ive already stated he should step down, apology or not, and this thread has nothing to do with Moore.

Have you condemned his actions- stepping down and such does not equate to a condemnation of Moore and believing the allegations
Do you believe the allegations?
Have you condemned Moore for what he did to these women?
2 questions- care to answer?

Why dont you start a thread about Roy Moore instead of trying to minimize ( like every other Hypocrite Lib ) Frankens conduct through diversion ?

I did - Cannot answer- are you scared to be held to account??
Easy questions yet you deflect.
Then again, for some morals can be difficult to follow.

Trump himself bragged about grabbing them by the *****.

But, did he say he grabbed women who didn't want to be grabbed?

I thought he said they'd let him do whatever he wanted to do, which indicates they wanted to be grabbed.

Pot meet kettle.

Plenty of liberals are standing up for Fanken by claiming his apology and a impending ethics investigation constitutes accountabillity.

It so doesn't. Franken's had 9 years to apologize but kept his mouth shut while Moore's scandal gained traction.

He's only sorry he got caught

I've stated multiple times Moore should step down.
Now, is a ethics investigation and a " apology " by Franken good enough for you ?

Or should he step down too ?

Women did make allegations, say he did not grab them by the *****. Grabbing breasts, ass, kissing, non consensual, that is OK.

You mean the allegations that were forgotten after the election? I'm addressing the ***** quote -- he specifically said they let him, which indicates that they welcomed the attention.

No, I'm just going by the original transcript of that recording. He said they let him do it. That doesn't indicate any sort of dislike of what he did.

Do you think all women immediately shy away from a man's touch?

Hence, you translate "let" into "wanted"?

It wasn't forgotten. People bring it up often. Hell, HE does and says things to remind people to bring it up.
