Al Franken accused of sexual harassment

[publicunofficial]

It's the allegations NOT captured in the photo that are resignation-worthy.

Franken should resign (and make way for Senator Ellison *crosses fingers so hard they snap*)

In this instance "Folks's lives are being ruined" really just means "They no longer get to be some of the most powerful people in the country, and just have to be regular old rich people instead" so cry me a river.

This article by Erin Gloria Ryan pretty much sums up my biggest fears with this movement.

Is it really irrational to think that a needed cause for a genuine movement could get contaminated by attention-seekers and golddiggers?

Bitches and whores, am I right?

I'm all for Democrats playing hardball and not giving a f**k about the rules once they take power but keeping the creepy old rapists in the party is not going to make voters respect the Democrats.

Also to the Democrats who are still calling Tweeden a liar even after Franken f**king admitted to it: Seek end of life services please and thank you.

I'm disgusted at all the people defending Al Franken. There's even photo proof!

No joke there are Daily Kos morons claiming It's photoshopped.

I love people who claim dems are so inconsistent for being even slightly openminded about Franken, who has had a couple of fairly minor allegations, while they support a President who not only has nearly 20 accusers, he also has basically admitted exactly what he is accused of, and in some cases even worse. AND, most seem to be supporting the child molester down in Alabama. Amazing.

For the record, I think Franken should resign, but I don't feel those who disagree are some kind of crazies or are somehow being wildly inconsistent.

There's a difference between not feeling Franken should resign, and actively looking to dig up dirt on his accusers to discredit them.

Tim your childlike naïvite is actually cute instead of incredibly frustrating for once.
