I am going to attempt to defend Al Franken without all the sexist garbage. [View all]
Every single man woman and child has made mistakes in life. Some worse than others.
Murder is worse than armed robbery.
Armed robbery is worse than stealing.
Stealing is worse than speeding.
Speeding is worse than illegal parking.
This is why in a civilized society we have different punishments for different offenses. Basically there is a sliding scale of punishments to fit the crime.
The same holds true most things in life. A child can differentiate as to what may get them into more trouble with their parents.
Now we have a problem with the media. They can’t seem to make this distinction. And some politicians on the right and left obviously cannot make make it either.
TO BE CLEAR. There is no comparison of child molestation to faking an inappropriate photo. There is no comparison to pinching buttocks to child molestation. There is no comparison of feeling the side of a grown womans breast when taking a photo to child molestation. There is no comparison of squeezing a womans waist while during a side hug in celebration to CHILD MOLESTATION.
They are all wrong. But there is NO comparison.
I also put forth there is no comparison of a person who points out these differences with a person who supports a child molester.
End of fucking story.
