Gawt Damn! Did you read anything I wrote? Did you try and comprehend anything I was saying before responding? Haysus, I'm beginning to see what K is saying about you.
1.) Let me hash it out for you. I said I am NOT defending Moore. I said that he or any public figure that gets accused of something WITHOUT any concrete evidence, will deny, deny, deny. This is an accusation 40 years after the fact with nothing to back it up. I don't care for Moore. But he, or any other public figure will deny the allegations without proof. THAT is what he is doing. Get it?
2.) I said that since Franken was nailed, dead to rights with photographic proof of said allegations, he has no recourse other than to toe the company line and form his apology in lock step with the Social Justice Warriors in order to try and save his career. THAT is what he is doing. Get it?
Probably not.
I don't get the hostility here. I don't disagree with anything you said here at all, nor does it refute what I was saying in the post that sent you arage.
But yeah, I take issue with this:
But here we have one candidate, Moore, who is being accused by one woman, who said he felt up her 14 year old cooze through her panties, almost 40 years after it happened. The rest? See K's breakdown. I don't even see the issue with all the others. But as for the one claiming 14 year old cooze grope....no proof. Just her coming out 40 years later.
It wasn't one woman. We're currently sitting at 9. Among them aged 14 (Leigh Corfman), 16 (Beverly Nelson), 16 (Wendy Miller), 17 (Debbie Wesson Gibson), 17 (Kelly Thorp), 18 year old high school Senior (Gloria Deason), and 18 year old high school Senior (Gena Richardson). Becky Gray and Kayla McLaughlin were 22. They claim they were assaulted, but fine, throw them out if we're talking about his pedophilic predilection.
I'm sorry I won't take moral preening from anyone who thinks it's ok for someone my age to date, kiss, touch genitals, or anything else with ONE let alone at least seven, high school chicks. It just isn't normal or ok or nothing-to-see-here as you people keep insisting. It's gross.
Serious question, do you believe Cosby was guilty of anything nefarious? What's the magic number of credible, corroborated accounts of sexual misconduct you have to hit before you start to even consider the possibility that at least one of them might be telling the truth?
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is great. All for it. I don't want to see him locked up unless they can unequivocally prove something. It doesn't mean you have to elect the guy to represent you if you think there's a better-than-even chance he preyed on children.
