A true American in courage, comedian and Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) resigns, in face of allegations

"Catherine Comins, assistant dean of student life at Vassar...argues that men who are unjustly accused can sometimes gain from the experience. 'They have a lot of pain, but it is not a pain that I would necessarily have spared them.'"

Al Frankenstein said: Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others I remember very differently.

Once women get hold of it at the beauty salon he is doomed. He should come live with me in a "galaxy far far away".

If the people of Alabama vote in Moore, it is a clear indication that the allegations of sexual misconduct

are not true.

Seriously?!? GOP has become the Grand Old Pedophiles.

You're posting this on a tread about a Dem resigning as a result of his extensive sexual misconduct?

I would say give the benefit of the doubt to the women accusing Trump. It does not help Trumps case that he is on tape bragging about groping women.

Trump is a wide open target, having been in the news for over 40 yerars. Not even once have anyone come forward. A flamboyant billionaire, he would have been an easy target from aggressive lawyers. It was only when he ran for president did the cockroaches come out from the crevices. All of them have connection to the Democratic Industrial Complex.

Him being a Billionaire is the exact reason why women haven’t come forward.

It’s all about power. From Cosby to O’Reilly to Weinstein to Moore to Franken to Trump....it always had to do with power, nothing more. It’s about being able to do anything you want because you are so powerful and have better lawyers and can seemingly get away with it. Victims don’t come forward because they feel like no one will believe them and the powerful men will get away with it because it’s their word against his.

That has changed over the last few years.

One claim is one thing and easily dismissed...but 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 20?.....

I feel like we are only scratching the surface.

Other than Leeann Tweeden, who published the now-infamous photograph of Franken groping her breasts while she slept, almost all of his other accusers are fellow-leftists who met Franken at various political events, including a Media Matters party celebrating former-President Obama’s 2009 inauguration and, of all places, the Minnesota Women’s Political Caucus.

Incorrect. Tweeden is a diehard conservative and republican. She has been on Fox news many times.

"Tweeden has described herself as “fiscally conservative,” told one interviewer she voted twice for President George W. Bush and appeared semi-regularly on Fox News’s Sean Hannity Show in 2011 and 2012."

Go back and read the post to which you responded to learn how terrible your comprehension and understanding is. It’s kike you didn’t even read it at all.

It’s ok, we’ll wait.

Does anyone even notice that while all this is getting so much publicity, two Republican congressmen have quit, one from California who paid $84,000 to silence a harassment complaint and another from Arizona who'd tried to get a couple of staffers to become surrogate moms?

Leeann Tweeden is a paid right wing hack.

Here she is on the Hannity Show attacking Shirley Sherrod for being a racist.

Here she is questioning Obama's birth certificate.

I won't bother to post the videos showing her doing the raunchy USO skits where she rubs her ass against a guitarists leg and slaps him on the butt or grinds her crotch into Robin Williams.

By her own account:

Franken wanted to rehearse a kissing scene

(rehearsing is important, comedy lives and dies by timing)

She consented.

Eleven years later she says she didn't like how he kissed her.

She said she avoided him whenever possible after that.

Except 3 years later she attended a USO banquet in his honor,

and the photo show them being jovial.

The second woman who accused Franken says that after appearing on the Bill Maher show together

Franken called her up and wanted to keep arguing about the accuracy of the economic indicator numbers that were coming out of the Office of Management and Budget.

(Al, if that is your seduction technique, you are doing it wrong)

Tweeden was the first accuser, and she has a history of being paid to attack

Democrats with lies.

And somehow Republican dirty tricks guru Roger Stone knew the accusation was

going to come out ahead of time.

Al Franken was set up by the Republican dirty tricks machine.

Grey Davis (recalled after Enron caused the energy crisis), Elliot Spitzer

(resigned after Roger Stone told the FBI to stake out a brothel, and

Don Seigelman (imprisoned after Carl Rove told federal prosecutors to

target himi) were all sitting governors who were also knocked out

by Republican dirty tricks.

Yet somehow a sexual predator is in the White House and a

child molester might get to the senate.

I'll go slow as you are the dumbest person on lets run by a long way.

Firstly: It's a thread about an elected official accused of sexual misconduct resigning; the party he belongs to is not the issue and is only the most relevant part of the story to fools.

Secondly: He was responding to someone else who was the one who brought Moore into this.

Thirdly: The issue of sexual misconduct is very much in the news right now and only fools with an agenda believe only one party has bad people in it. Anybody who wanted Franken to resign should equally want the same for anyone in the same situation, regardless of political party affiliation. Yeah, that means if you wanted Franken to resign, and you are honest, you should be asking for Trump to resign. Don't worry, no part of me thinks you have the intelligence to understand any of this.

With all the sexual misconduct allegations swirling, how is it that Harry Reid hasn't been pinged yet? That guy makes my skin crawl, yuck. This is a nonpartisan statement (creeps on both sides).
