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

[still_one]

130. bullshit. What Al Franken did was inappropriate behavior, and he apologized for it, it was

immature, but sexual misconduct, come off your high horse.

As far as the ALLEDGED forced kiss, why are some so ready to except one person's story over another?

When a young republican woman reported that she was robbed at beaten by an Obama supporter, were they ready to accept that?

What about when the accusation that John Kerry was having an affair with an intern in his campaign, were they ready to accept that?

How many people in their life have used inappropriate language in front of people, is that sexual misconduct?
How many people have told a distasteful joke, a remark, etc. is that sexual misconduct?

How many people enjoyed movies such as animal house, hangover, american pie, are they latent sexual predators?

DUers are NOT excusing inappropriate behavior, but they sure as hell are skeptical of the forced kiss which conveniently had no witnessess, and how coincidently Roger Stone tweeted about it 24 hours before it was announced, along with the media jumping all over with false equivalencies of comparing it to the stalking of underage girls, Bill O'Reilly, or Bill Clinton's behavior, which have absolutely nothing to do with what Al Franken is ALLEDGED to have done, or even if the story is valid. Al Franken has come out and said that he recalls a different version.

Has anyone else come out and said Al Franken exhibited similar behavior toward them? I find it curious that the sexual predators such as Weinstein, Moore, O'Reilly etc. have demonstrated a pattern of behavior of that repeats itself.. A typical pattern of these incidents is a repeated occurrance of them, and that sure doesn't appear to be the case with Al Franken, which raises a red flag.
