Al Franklin in the sexual harassment hot seat

Wow, seems everyone is into abuse of power or letting the elitism take over. Wonder what was going through his head doing this? Should Al offer a apology? Should Al resign?

Lets see how Al responds to this......

Snip:
He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.
He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

 

But...but he's funny right ? He has on SNL back in the day. Doesn't that make it ok ?

 

Dup Thread, sorry.

To me, watching supporters will be the interesting part of this.

 

We need to begin the deliberation on this and Franken must ultimately step down!!

 

But...but Franken is a funny man from way back in the day. Can't you all just take a joke ?

 

I get it, but....

Men and women have been interacting in this way since the beginning of time. No excuses for bad behavior and I never had the pink panties syndrome but seen plenty of it from both sexes.

I guess how pure do we go? Also of note with this stupid game being played is very few come out at the time of the event, seems they wait until long after almost making it a strategy.

One motivator is fame and money that plays a role. I am not trying to be sexist here but the ugly side of this is using it as a weapon.

 

100% correct you are! When a judge can serve over 30 years and not a thing is mentioned......then he is involved in a Senate race that hinges on a bunch of "haters" that want to overturn an election, it all comes out in allegations. The Democrats have never been concerned about that behavior before. Remember? "Charactor doesn't matter", That was the slogan of the Clinton Presidency. Ted Kennedy actually let his victim drown and instead of going across the street where a porch light was on for help, he staggered back to his cottage to sleep it off. Yes, I agree. it has become a weapon.

 

Of course, right after trump

 

you have pictures?

 

Do you have oictures of OJ? Funny how you don’t question the males that Kevin spacey hit on, it’s only women who lie,

 

Me thinks you took me wrong. I'm just saying, where there are pictures, as in Al Frankens case, that goes a long way beyond allegations toward the other allegation that he swapped body fluids forcibly with his victim. I do believe without a doubt O.J. killed Nicole as convicted by the Civil Court.

 

Yes, there was the stupid picture....It was inappropriate but meant to be funny and in those days sadly it was.Please tell me you are not comparing a stupid joke that wasn’t funny, with a man undressing a 14 year old.

 

Franken is playing this defense in a very smart way. By admitting impropriety and pushing for investigation he is calling any possible bluff(set up) and making himself seem an honest man. If this was a set up it will come to light and if he was stupid or pervy he comes out as clean as possible.

 

In those days??? In 1860 slavery was supposed to be funny. Maybe you haven't been around very long but...."in those days" we were well past the "age of aquarious" and even liberals back then thought they were 'enlightened". Of course with Moore, liberals want to go back 30 years. Franken, forcibly sticking his tongue in someones mouth is swapping bodily fluids. Moore hasn't even been accused of doing that!

 

Slavery was supposed to be funny? 30 years ago or 50 years ago or 20 years ago, taking advantage sexually of a 14-year-old was never funny and was disgusting. Why on earth are you defending a child predator? There is something very sick about that. You also defend a man who brags about grabbing women’s ******* because he can. As Trump said his uneducated voters would support him even if he shot someone. You are a typical Trump supporter

 

You don't know a thing about my education as well you don't know a thing about anything happening sexually between Mr. Moore and a 14 year old. It's something you haters want to believe to overturn an election and that is all. Is it a coincidence this accusation never came out for 39 years until now? Democrats finally get morality after decades of overlooking Ted Kennedy leaving Mary Joe to die so he could sober up?.... or Bill Clintons' accusers that had much more testimonials than you have against Moore? Slavery was never funny and neither were those crimes but leftists looked the other way and I'm sure you will too with Franken and his ADMISSION!

 

Of course the girls are lying. Then we wonder why women never report sexual assaults ...because of men like you. And the fact that after all these women coming forward with # me too, you still don’t understand the power in numbers it shows a complete lack of understanding sexual assault. Do you believe the boys who said they were sexually assault by Kevin Spacey? Do you think they are all liars? Why didn’t they report it then? . As I have said I was sexually assaulted and never dreamt of reporting it. But years later another woman I spoke to had the exact experience with the same man. If were today I would have the courage to report it. I truly think this is a turning point in our culture because women are finally being believed and finally recording what has happened to them and not caring about men like you who blame the victim
If you educated yourself you would know the women you don’t believe were republicans .. And there goes that childish mantra, “but, but they did it too” what was their motive? Why would you defend a man like moore? Do you believe gay people should be in prison? Do you believe we should not allow a Muslim in Congress? Is that the kind of man you want representing your country?We just have differentValues
Did Clinton have a 14 year old kid he sexually assaulted? Did he hang around malls? If there were those accusations, I would never have voted for him. Was Clinton’s behavior inappropriate and stupid? Yes! And he was Impeached! Do you support an investigation into Moore’s actions? Al Franken wants one about himself .
Al Franken was an idiot....but if you put that in the same category as sexually assaulting a 14 year and a 16 year old, then indeed we have different values.

 

By the way when I talk about the uneducated I talk about those who don’t educate themselves, the ones who call legitimate news fake and accept what fox tells them to believe.

 

Tweeden butt grabber:

 

So what you seem to desire is Sharia in reverse. If a female accuses a male he is guilty before a fair hearing. As I said earlier....you on the left didn't give a hoot about these things until it seemed you could possibly overturn an election. Now you're all giddy. Even to the point you'll throw the Clintons under the bus after years of defending them.
I believe it is going to be very tuff for leftists to take the moral high road. They are going to lose a lot of support because the standards they feign to support are so much higher than what they tend to practice. They definitely will lose the Nambla vote. I do not defend Moore. I do not prosecute him either. I do know Moore is more likely to support a Supreme Court Justice that would reign in sexual harassment over the liberal court judges liberals have appointed in the last 30 years.

 

I know you are educated....by the likes of Maxine Waters!

 

I am not stopping a fair hearing....
Are you not aware of what preceded this? You think it was a conspiracy against Moore by a republican woman? Women are coming out of the shadows of shame they’ve lived under. As a man you cannot understand what it is like to be a victim of sexual abuse. Women have been damaged. I know
sadly you like a man who believes gays should be In jail, who believes the constitution should be second to the Bible and no Muslims should be allowed to serve in congress ..what values you have. Thank goodness mine are different . You make me feel ashamed of my country

 

And you by Moore...religion before the constitution and hate for gays and Muslims, at least she doesn’t hate those who are different, at least she respects the constitution

 

Show me where I hate gays or Muslims. Question......If North Korea nukes us, should we declare war???? LOL

 

Of course you have convicted Moore before a fair hearing. You do it right here just like the media. Of course you weren't a defender of Bill Clinton/ Ted Kennedy were you?? Please show me where I believe gays should be in jail. You make stuff up.
