22. CNN should post Groper Don the Con's thoughts on Roger Ailes

Wed Oct 11, 2017, 10:10 AM

Oct 2017

after he was exposed as a sexual predator.

CNN should ask ReTHUGs about Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly. If they don't we may have to ask if they're afraid someone might ask what's going on inside CNN.

"As disgusting as Weinsteins behaviour is, it does not obligate anyone to comment on it" oberliner Oct 2017 #12

So who IS obligated to comment on it? Proud Liberal Dem Oct 2017 #20

I agree that the behavior should be called out whenever and wherever it occurs Proud Liberal Dem Oct 2017 #38

Many folks look up to Hillary Clinton oberliner Oct 2017 #43

She did make a statement. ehrnst Oct 2017 #56

Yes, exactly oberliner Oct 2017 #58

What exactly obligates HRC and the Obamas? ehrnst Oct 2017 #60

They are role models oberliner Oct 2017 #62

And Jimmy Carter isn't? ehrnst Oct 2017 #65

They are not in any office for crying out loud treestar Oct 2017 #67

Are you also waiting for Jimmy Carter to make a statement? Al Gore? John Kerry? ehrnst Oct 2017 #57

I support every prominent Democrat who has spoken out on this subject oberliner Oct 2017 #59

But are they "obligated" to? And if not, why the Obamas and HRC? (nt) ehrnst Oct 2017 #61

See my answer above oberliner Oct 2017 #63

But that doesn't explain why you think others like Carter, Gore, etc. ehrnst Oct 2017 #64

I think the word "obligated" is too strong LiberalLovinLug Oct 2017 #73

Then wouldn't that apply to Tom Perez, Bernie Sanders and Ben Ray Lujan ehrnst Oct 2017 #74

It's your definition of responsibility that's the issue. kcr Oct 2017 #94

Our side should be speaking out against the exploitation of women every day oberliner Oct 2017 #97

Strawman alert. No one is saying they shouldn't. kcr Oct 2017 #98
