Sure, but "Their hypocrisy is worse than our hypocrisy!" isn't a very inspiring message when you are trying to lure Independents and get to 270.

As much as people get on Trump for not calling bullshit when he should, this is really not much different considering their long standing relationship and ties to him.
2) the weinstein situation isn't a natural disaster that requires leadership

Sure, but "Their hypocrisy is worse than our hypocrisy!" isn't a very inspiring message when you are trying to lure Independents and get to 270.I'm glad we agree. Anyone that listens to any entertainer to get their political beliefs is dim. Half of the left is just as dim as half of the right. And you don't think that there are people that voted democratic just because their favorite band, or actor, or athelete said they should? Did you not follow the election? It was nothing but celebrity endorsements for Hillary. At least I never saw celebrities crying when the republicans lost and writing apology letters.
It's tied to liberal politics because he was a big donor and fundraiser for them. No hypocrisy there.

What's happening is that a donor's behavior is trying to be put into the same ballpark as trump's in an attempt to discredit liberals in general and also minimize frump's behavior. Sean Hannity is loving it, if that tells you anything.0 -

Liberals have the critical thinking skills necessary so as to not be influenced as easily as conservatives.

Hard to deny that the Rs keep on electing entertainers, though.

Is it true that one of the Obama daughters interned with Weinstein last summer? If so that is a STRONG indicator they knew nothing.

Only on AMT can people argue in a thread about an obvious sexual predator...taking the same sides they normally do. If this was a trump donor most of you would be losing your shit.hippiemom = goodness0

Don't forget that Meryl Streep spoke about this and all is forgiven.0 -
Um, so, back to sexual predators, instead of politics? Because, again, this is about power, not politics. Some things are always wrong, regardless of one's political affiliation. Rape? Always wrong. Torture? Always wrong. Always. There are no exceptions for "S/he's on my team, so it's okay!"
I don't know where people are getting the idea that Dems are silent on the topic or that "If this was a T**** donor most of you would be losing your shit." I'm a socially liberal libertarian, and I lose my shit when anyone's rights are violated. Period.
1) Silent Dems?? I've been following Chris Hayes on Twitter, and Weinstein has been the dominant story for the last few days. Slate has a bunch of stories about it. My husband came home from the gym the other day, actually rattled by the number of enraged women he saw on television (hint: he wasn't watching Fox News).
2) "If this was a T**** donor..." Wait. How about, "If this was T****..." -- because it IS T****. He IS a sexual predator, never mind what his donors are doing, he himself is a known, admitted, sexual predator. So I'm really not sure what your point is.
There's also a story today about how Terry Crews was assaulted by a top Hollywood executive last year -- in front of his wife, no less. Sexual assault is about power. Predators are protected because people are scared and/or because they value money more than the rights of the victims. Could we maybe have a discussion about straightening out those skewed values? How about a discussion of what we teach our children? I have two sons, and we made sure both of them knew about consent and appropriate behavior, and that they need to intervene if at all possible if they see someone who is in danger. My younger son just started college, and he is disturbed by the predatory behavior he is seeing in some of his peers. I think there is an important discussion to be had here,
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0 -
