“In Favor of Dirty Jokes and Risqué Remarks”
By KATIE ROIPHE
Published: November 12, 2011

I love the “outrage” of the left for sexual harassment allegations when it’s a conservative compared to the silence when it’s one of their own.

Clinton’s victims were “tramps” and “bimbos” even after sworn statements from law enforcement. Even after proof of his predatory behavior and claims of actual rape.
If Cain really did those things than he should step aside.
However I have a feeling the hard left will stoop to any low to protect the untouchable Barry….. The one who has all records sealed.

I guess all pigs are equal….. some are more equal than others.

DB, I also remember republicans making a big deal about how Clinton treated women. I think the hypocrisy includes those republicans who are now saying this is a nonissue who pilloried Clinton for the same thing (with only one allegation of harrassment). The Democrats that ignored Clintons issues and are now going after Cain are hypocrites too.

I disagree with Db. I have not seen “outrage” from the left over Cain’s sexual harrassment allegations. I have only seen reporting of the facts.

Also, I do not see the press as fawning over President Obama. In fact, it seems to me that they have been quite critical.

This leads me to believe that Db gets his news from right wing pundits who feed naive people like Db a line of spin.

So do us all a favor Db, don’t try to re-spin the garbage onto us. Unless you have first hand knowledge or documented sources, the only thing you are successfully accomplishing is making yourself sound like a Rush Limbaugh lemming.

db – in one email you indict “the left”, while your examples and illustrations deal mostly with ‘the media’. They are not the same. Yes, there is a liberal bias in the media (the extent to which that bias informs journalism is subject to debate), but that doesn’t mean by a long stretch that the media speaks for or represents the left or that their reaction and treatment to and of a story or issue is representative even of that of the left.

I agree that media coverage has been different, but individual American Citizen’s reaction is not something easily ‘captured’ without Polls and the like, all of which are filters of one sort or another – all to say, I’m not sure you can even say with any confidence (yet) how “the left” is responding to this and I don’t hear any support for the assertion that “the left” (as opposed to ‘the media’) reacted differently/unfairly with Clinton, etc.

Remember, Sexual Harassment is an majorly important issue for what Rush calls the “Feminazis” ie, any woman who is on the left – as defined by Rush (solely in his bigoted judgement), mostly because they (i) dare speak their mind; and (ii) believe in the same thing as the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers: the fundamentally American principle of Equality.

Proper behavior prevents insults and statements intended to belittle or offend, no matter the sex, race, age or culture. At least that’s what our lives are intended for, in this United States of America. It’s so strange how often the basic tenets of an entire country’s citizens disintegrate due to neuroses. A nationwide mental illness, this tendency toward harassment and intimidation, irresponsible corporate executives and deceptive politicians.
