Discuss: Confederate Statues vs. Hollywood Rapist Walk-of-Fame Stars

That one where you grab your ankles, and make your starfish whistle the Andy Griffith theme.

It’s not so much you as it is people like Volpone who turns shit like this into a partisan issue. Now, he may be trolling, buy the state of Alabama as a whole sure isn’t when they’re seriously believing that the newspaper that broke the story on Roy Moore was just doing so to fuck up his run....and his fan base circles the wagons even tighter.

You've had like twenty years now to condemn Bill Clinton.

But no, suddenly it's not sexual harassment in the workplace, it's not abuse of power, it doesn't reflect on his character, it's not reinforcement of the poisonous patriarchal paradigm or whatever. It's "But, but, consenting adults!" And "whatabout the Republicans dragging the country through it and whatabout all the taxpayer money spent!"

Show me a liberal on this board who's already condemned Bill and I'll be pleased to be at least slightly wrong. I don't remember any such thing happening, but I might have missed it. I don't read all the threads.

Or go ahead, change your mind now. It's safe to get off the Clinton bandwagon, none of them are likely to run for President again.

On what?
Lewinsky?
She thought she was a girlfriend, he treated her like a fleshlight.
But there was no coercion.
Not physically, not with threats of career destruction, not with Israeli spies.
He was a douche, and I wouldn't want him near my female relatives, but he's no Weinstein.

That's the thing: If Trump or another Republican were caught on video beating up a bunch of orphans, the right's response would be "Well, what about that time Obama elbowed a guy in a bar?"

Right, but I started THIS thread, so I assumed he was talking about me.

I don't give it much thought, since as far as I know, it was consenting adults. If Lewinsky wants to jump on #MeToo, I'd reevaluate.

That's an interesting question, if you sweep aside the partisan rhetoric around it.

ETA: It looks like I was 14 when the scandal broke, so I'm not sure I grasped the context of everything that was going on.

I'm not saying Clinton's a Weinstein, or a Trump, or anything. I just want to feel like I'm talking with actual human beings and not partisan machines.

That bolded part? That's all I want to see.

Partisan Machines is a great band name

or as I like to call it "Tuesday."
