You posted dishonestly, pretending the question was another, different one. Extending and elaborating on your dishonesty would not have changed that.
I answered "neither". That was
my answer to your question.
You can't post honestly. You simply can't.
I am. And that's your problem. Your example was downright idiotic and completely out of context. Alluding to Franken's important job in that fashion, is obscene.
So you have to rewrite and alter my example, to include lots more specifics, to assess things. So you agree that circumstances matter.
Gynecologist vs neurosurgeon, cornering and groping underlings trapped on a plane in flight vs patting restaurant wait staff on the ass as they walk by, you have to "posit" more specifics to assess the situation. You can't just go with my illustrative setups - they don't tell you enough.
I rest my case.
To begin with, your example was dumb. It was moronic and made little to no sense and attempted to excuse sexual harassment in certain instances.
I'll give you a hint, it's not excusable, which is why I played on your dumbarse examples.
You want the neurosurgeon example? Okay. He has been accused of groping women at reunions and NYE parties. If we are going to compare him to Franken, he has also been groping women at conferences and hospital gatherings, including some female staff.. Your wife or daughter is his patient. You'd tell them that it's no problem at all, because he's a good doctor and you'd argue that he is simply too good or too important to be made to resign?
I mean, what other circumstances are you going to suggest it's vital or important to leave a serial sexual harasser of women in place, protected, allowed to continue to make money, to use his position to place him in further protected contact with women?
He's another example for you.. You'd be fine with Franken if he was a teacher and was a terrific science teacher who fought for teaching science in a GOP controlled Christian bible thumping 'earth is 5,000 years old' hell hole, and you found out that he was groping women..? You'd complain if he was asked to resign as a result of those allegations, because well, he's doing good work, he said he didn't remember those incidents as his accusers did, and said sorry that the victims were offended, instead of apologising for what he actually did and the accusations or demands that he resign is because of politics, blah blah blah?
And that's a problem - you don't acknowledge other people, what they are thinking, or why.
That's where you miss the impression of incompetence, weakness, flightiness, unreliability, and general fecklessness, the DFL has once again created for itself in Minnesota.
Oh, I'm sorry for not taking into consideration those who wish to protect sex offenders for political expediency.
You want me to consider their feelings? Want me to consider yours?
Firstly, a pilot would be fired when he landed and a neurosurgeon would be fired the moment he stepped out of surgery and another neurosurgeon would take over his patients.
Secondly, that is why your example completely fails to hold in comparison to Franken. Alluding to Franken being allowed to remain in place because he would be good for women, while demanding everyone ignore what he did to women is obscene and it also suggests, as Ms Dupuy notes, that the Democrats are willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel and do not have talent within their ranks to fill in his position.
No, you posted those examples. I specifically did not, central to my point.
Nope, I played on the stupid examples you provided.
I mean, have you no shame to have posted those two examples to begin with? What else are you willing to do to throw down to protect a man who groped 8 women (that we know of)?
I'm not. That's not honest.
Your examples cited those that were outside of their employ, private events. Franken groped women at Democratic events and events where he was attending in his capacity as a US Senator.
You'll have a chance to reality check, over the next ten months, what the Democrats "look like" in all of this - if you can.
Yep. And the party that is not your party is now down two sex offenders in the Senate. Hopefully one day you'll realise that reality check.
