    Don't be argumentative.
    This
    "And why would someone ask Hillary Clinton to resign from any of her jobs? You still haven't said that. You wanted someone to ask her to resign from her candidacy for President?"
    Was not clear. You said you don't defend her.......OK.

    You've repeatedly ignored Franken's assault/s and harassment, and did so again in this case.

    The rest of your post is nearly incomprehensible - something about a fellow apologist excusing Franken's assault as you continue doing? - but I'm not a liberal. :)

    Gotcha.

    I was speaking of Franken's assault and harassment.

    She's rather brilliant, actually, though quite provocative.

    And she's right about half of the time, which is a lot more than most folks. :)

    What assault are you referring to?
    What harassment are you referring to?

    The idiocy looks evenly balanced on both sides to me; extremes are, by definition, extreme.

    And yet it's Trump who's pushing the conservative agenda.:confuse: The conservative agenda of repealing ACA, that certain "conservative" senators now support, and whom you defend. "Conservatives" are opposing tax reforms too. Too many "republicans" in congress are only "conservative" at election time. It's time that these moderate democrats, and those like yourself who support them, align themselves with a party that better reflects their socialist values.

    Borat really annoys liberals by exposing how ludicrous bothey they, and their self righteous indignations are. Take for example this "mob" mentality up for discussion. A million women don a million vagina hats to protest a vagina grabber. Ashley Judd grabs her own vagina while she derides a US president, who hasn't actually grabbed anyones vagina. Ms Judd #Metoo ... doesn't take the opportunity to address Hollyweirds "rape culture" ... Weinstein is thrilled, and the abuses continue unabated. Where were these iconic liberal congress women who claim abuse? Moores accuser? A million women not affraid to accuse a US president, but affraid of Roy Moore, and congressional colleagues, and interns? :frustrated: :roflol:

    The accusations against Moore and Franken are neither more nor less than contemptible, political, hit jobs, which should be a crime.

    No comparisons between the two accused, Moore wins the perv/molester award hands down.

    I agree she's smart. Smart enough to understand that stupid, racist, bigoted garbage sells to stupid, racist bigoted morons. In no way do I think she believes what she says, she can't argue with the results, though.

    What's the left wing equivalent to Obama is a muslim, not a citizen, wants to turn the US into a caliphate, take all guns and bibles, and put people in FEMA camps?

    Of course both sides have extremists but right wing extremism is much more intense, stupid, conspiratorial and mainstream.

    Possibly. But all things considered, I'd say they were neck and neck. Either way, at this point, I'd throw them both out of my court. Moore's, because it's forty years old and there was no force or relations. And Frankens, because the picture was a joke, and the kiss...well... she's a floozy, and the whole thing was over ten years ago. Gimme a break. It's (accusations against Franken)nonsense.

    OOPs. Good catch. I think all that constant knee-jerking in the right-wing blogosphere stifles the flow of blood to their brains.

    Why did you omit the body of Kate Harding's statement? Is it because you want to distract from the fact that the REAL problem here is MEN, not party affiliation?

    "I’m a feminist. I study rape culture. And I don’t want Al Franken to resign."
    No, arguably you're a partisan liberal who shamelessly runs interference for a fellow liberal who is a serial sexual-harasser who needs to be tossed out of office!!

    How do Bill Clinton and Trump compare to each other in regards to their past sexual harassment of women?

    Baloney. She is a woman and is talking about what is best for women. She has a valid point, and she studies rape culture.
    She is a woman first and has a better understanding of womens' rights than you or me. She is a woman first and a dem or repub, or even a trumpist third. I can't imagine anyone saying that Trump shouldn't resign because it would have a negative effect, man or woman. She is hardly a hypocrite. "Let's try to keep Moore on the job because it would be better for women". C'mon man. Really?

    Untrue. She is what she says she is, and means what she says she means. She is a woman first, and a lib, repub, trumpist next.
    Imagine a woman saying "Let's keep Moore on the job because it would be better for women." Yes?
