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

117. What do you mean we have too much time on our hands?

Because your excuses are less loony than Moore's supporters, does not justify your
response. Senator Franken has acknowledged his wrong doing and wisely asked for
an investigation. That should be enough for us who support him; it is for me.

I pray no one else comes forth to share other stories. And he will remain in the senate,
because we desperately need him there. In the meantime, attacking his accuser only
weakens our position when the next Republican is charged with creepy sexual behavior.

I want us to be consistent and not defensive clearly signaling that we will not tolerate
sexual misbehavior no matter the predator's political or religious affiliations.

By casting doubt on Ms Tweeden's narrative, you are casting doubt on our effectiveness
to make this our issue going forward. Like Caesar's wife, we must be above reproach.

Those who attack Ms Tweeden are falling into the Republicans trap.
