Reply #33: Both Clinton and Weiner were targeted for one reason: They are Democrats.

[baldguy]

That's what they have on common. And the scandals they are/were caught up in are only about sex peripherally. If they held literally any other position, nobody would care.

BUT....

Because they are/were members of the Democratic party and sitting elected office holders - ONLY because they're Democrats, and ONLY because they were elected - the corporate media & the GOP are under the impression that they're fair game. It's really sad, and really destructive to our country that other Democrats are all too eager to jump on the RW propaganda bandwagon.
