This is NOT your first post about this.
Let's get right down to it. Are you accusing Al Franken of being a sexual predator?
Do you think Al Franken should resign?
You have posted quite recently how you view DU as only being critical of sexual improprieties if they are NOT Democrats, and that is a false statement.
Joe McCarthy would be really proud of what you are doing Oberliner, because you are trying to portray that Al Franken has a pattern of "inappropriate sexual behavior", and that is blatantly false.
As for as the opinion piece you post by Ms. Yarrow, she is using Al Franken as her punching boy for all the inappropriate sexual conduct that occurs, and that is extremely unfair, and unjustified.
Perhaps we should lock up all the writers who present material that is deemed objectionable?
In case you are unaware, Al Franken apologized for his inappropriate behavior in the picture. What more do you want?
There are things that bother me with the conversation going on at DU over the Al Franken issue. I am bothered by the victim blaming, but I also am bothered by those who are demanding that Al Franken resign over this, and/or going as far as to suggest this is equivalent to the behavior of Moore, Weinstein, etc.
