And reading the article, the Al Franken thing is more than just about a photo done in bad taste. He actually schemed to kiss her by trying to write it into a script and then wanted to "practice" and tried to french her during the "practice"

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostObviously, you were too lazy to read the article, oh great champion of women's rights.
On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, “We need to rehearse the kiss.” I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’
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.
Are ya there, yet?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI was wondering if they believed Moore actually "had sex" with minors, or if he was just sexually harassing them. As far as I know, there aren't actually allegations of sex.
"The picture doesn't show him groping her, just making a poor taste visual gag. The kissing part we'll have to see, but I think comparing this with molesting children is a bit extreme."
Another poster (likely liberal, because most of the website leans that way) in r/television puts the subject this way,
"Should probably stop with the "Yeah but Moore" damage control. If you are truly about showing equality and respect to women, you should be disgusted by both issues regardless of the degree of severity.
We're choosing teams now and pretty much rooting for someone on the other team to do something worse to their victim, and it's gross."

There may be another woman coming out accusing Franken of "stalking" her - what ever that means.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI don't know. I guess so. I don't usually read r/politics because it makes me nauseous, but the whole website leans pretty far left (certain quarters more than others). The only subreddit that doesn't lean left is one called r/The_Donald ,and that is usually so far to the other side that it's hard to take seriously as well. I kinda hate Reddit, but it's a nice time waster if I focus on areas of interest like film or hobbies. I checked out Voat for a minute, which was supposed to be an alternative to Reddit's far left self, but it was so ridiculously racist and pro neo-Nazi that I had to leave. So, oddly enough, since I tune out most news programs, I see what's new in the world from the left on Reddit, and on the right here at TWeb. I figure the truth is maybe someplace in the middle, or middle-left/middle-right depending on the topic.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

And now for a little irony... Franken posted this to Facebook a little over one month ago:
I wonder how long it will take him to delete it? I saved a screenshot of the page just in case.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
