In reply to the discussion: Al Franken still hasn't denied grabbing women [View all]Nevernose
(13,081 posts)They volunteered their stories to a reporter at a blogging site, who then corroborated with the best friend of one of the women. A woman who was at the event claimed he looked at her chest too much. Its basically a reporter, paid partially on page views, repeating anonymous gossip and saying She seemed believable to me.
Thats problematic, especially as it came immediately after a slanderous, false allegation coordinated by Roger Stone, a guy famous for his dirty tricks. We have more coming in future days is a fairly accurate paraphrasing of the GOPs smear masters statements.
I think the context matters, and calling Franken a serial groper denies the context of the accusations, the accusers, the accused, and the entire situation.
Would it make you feel better if the accusations I made were through a third party? Im sure theres someone here that would volunteer to libel or slander you.
