What has DU come to we have numerous posts excusing alleged sexual misconduct

[Atticus]

100. When we mention facts which tend to cast doubt on Ms. Tweeden's account, you say we are

making "excuses".

When we call attention to some of the---no other way to say it---loony religious CRAP spewed by Moore's "Christians", you say we are "mocking" them.

And, when we say that, given the previous record of Al Franken and the wide general impression here that he is an honorable man who is a dependable voice for disadvantaged people of all stripes, you accuse us of "bending over backwards to protect one of our own".

I think most of us would say that, if leaning towards accepting the account of someone we feel we know and like as opposed to blindly accepting the accusations of someone we do not know and who, yes, has chosen to associate herself with people and causes which are, by their nature, dishonest and mean-spirited, is "bending over backwards" to support Franken, we sure as hell plead guilty.

As a bonus observation, you and several others posting recently appear to have WAY to much time on your hands.
