    Franken needs to step down or you lefties have no basis at all bringing up sex offenses. Its as simple as that.

    I don't suppose you can provide a verbatim quote from Moore to that effect.

    In the interview with Hannity, Moore recalled knowing two of the older women, Gloria Thacker Deason and Debbie Wesson Gibson, as well as their parents. “I knew her as a friend,” he said of Gibson, who has said Moore asked her on a date when she was 17, after speaking at her high school. “If we did go out on dates, then we did, but I do not remember that,” Moore said.


    When asked about Deason’s claim that he provided her wine on dates when she was 18, Moore said: “In this county, it’s a dry county. We never would have had liquor.”

    Alcohol sales began in Etowah County in 1972, years before the alleged encounter, and The Post confirmed that wine was for sale at the time at the pizzeria where Deason remembered Moore taking her when she was under the legal drinking age of 19.

    Al Franken accused of sexual misconduct

    Franken, Moore, Bill Clinton and Trump are the tip of the iceberg. I have a feeling we'll all become saturated with the ever increasing revelations regarding sexual misconduct ongoing throughout practically every human institution in our society over the next few years. It is far overdue, and I support the women and their quest to demand and attain complete parity with men in every aspect of our society. Equal rights irrespective of gender should be our national core value, and we should live up to that as a matter of principle. It's going to be messy, getting from where we are now to where we need to be. Messy for everyone, for new standards will have to be formulated and incorporated into law, then adopted by us all as a matter of everyday behavior. But it's a positive and worthwhile goal, and one that will improve us all as individuals, as a society, as a nation, and yes, even as a species.

    That's an admission and even Moore's defenders (like the Alabama Governor) say they have no reason to disbelieve the allegations

    That may be, but it's not an admission that he "dat[ed] 16 year old girls routinely"; so you're dissembling as usual. In any case, your weaselly contributions won't be eating up any more of my time, so happy trails.

    And you're going to argue that such a thing is equivalent to a 32-year-old sexual predator stalking 14 year old girls?

    sure as soon as we see evidence. As we all know lefties make false accusations all the time. Franken is caught red handed. If he doesnt step down immediately you and any other leftist will have no basis to open your traps about any sexual misconduct. Once your double standard is seen by the country...women voters will upchuck the left like bad chicken. By all means keep defending Frakenhead. What Ive heard women talking about even leftists on the franken matter was most appealing to me.

    yes. sexual assault is sexual assault regardless of the age. So is sexual harrassment. Franken is guilty of both. But please keep defending Franken, the women voters love to see the left defending a guy that sticks his tongue into womens mouths against their will. They also love to see that you leftists call that inappropriate kissing. If putting your tongue into a womans mouth against her will is just inappropriate kissing then why is rape a crime and not simply inappropriate bumpin uglies.

    Okay...allow me to point out a few things that apparently escaped your razor sharp intellectual prowess.

    1) No one on this Earth falls asleep with a tightly strapped military helmet on their head.
    2) There are very clear shadows between his hands and her massive military jacket making it obvious he did not actually even touch her.
    3) Neither the photographer or the guy pretending to sleep next to her tried to stop him.
    4) No one would pose for a picture of themselves sexually assaulting a woman, especially on a public USO tour surrounded by many others.

    Im not talking about the picture. The picture is sexual harrassment by every textbook definition distributed in every workplace accross the USA. The forcing of his tongue into a womans mouth against her will is sexual assault. If youndont believe it grab a woman at work and stick your tongue in her mouth and see what happens.
    Lastly, in regards to my razor sharp intellect, if yours is better then why were you the one attempting to shift focus back to pic to attempt a blatant strawman as if that was what we consider the sexual assault and not the forceable kiss. The picture just affirms her accusation that this leech attacked her. Hovering over her while she was sleeping and taking pics of her. Unacceptable behavior. We cant have him in congress. Period. As Ive told other leftists...please keep defending him. I show these comments to women to show them what leftists really think of their right to not be forceably kissed by a man they wish not to kiss. Its gonna be hard at election time to say you defend women if Franken is still in congress. Much like when I told you guys to run Bernie and not Hillary....you didnt listen. This will be just like that. Dems will = gropers, maulers of women.

    Wowwwwww. P A T H E T I C !! I really didn't believe anyone who equate violation of a woman by a forced kiss with violation of a child by a sexual predator. You just lost most all your cred.

    wow I didnt think assault of women was weighted less than a child. Glad you leftists are defending women. See women....this is what leftists really think of you.

    The woman agreed to the kiss in this situation, -a fact that you can't quite seem to grasp.

    That's what I said. Now you agree. Good. And it was not "sexual harassment" or "sexual assault" like what Moore did with minors.

    this post contradicts itself. Sticking your tongue in a womans mouth against her will is assault. Oh wait...nuther woman is stepping forward. Id just admit Im right and stick this guy before moore gets elected. Otherwise...there will be no leverage to discuss moores actions if true. The double standard ends today for all of us. Whos against being fair? Only people afraid of the truth.

    English please. When posters are obscure or use distorted, unclear, confused sentence structure, it usually means they know they're on thin ice and can't be clear lest they fall through that ice.
