WTF! No one is fucking talking about..

[busterbrown]

the Penn Congressman ( REPUBLICAN) who is an Extreme Pro Life Advocate impregnating his secrete "boo"... then advocating her to have an Abortion" So much for the Sanctity of Life Bullshit.

I think the DNC has done a horrible job getting stories like this out there.. It is so important to call Repubs on their Bullshit..especially on issues like this.

Trump's overwhelmingly ability to cause chaos in the Media is a big reason that this kind of story remains under the covers.

I ask you.. many of you have been following this story out there? and do you feel Dems.have done lousy job pushing this story to forfronte?


In the meantime..

1. I've seen this story being reported on, countless times, on countless sites

And as of the 21st, he gone.

[busterbrown]

2. I don't care at all if he is gone..on the 21st.

You think that solves the problem of their constant hypocrisy? In matters such as this.

And I watch MSM all day long including today and all I hear is how the Conservatives are trying to pin Weinstein to the Dems . Fuck That!

[Siwsan]

6. You are right - it doesn't solve their hypocrisy. I don't know that anything can

It is ingrained in the black holes that once contained their souls, before they sold them to Mephistopheles. Perhaps I exaggerated that, a little.

Although I have immense respect for Michelle Obama, it's definitely time for us to stop going "high". But unfortunately, unless the MSM decides that they will get more mileage out of Congress being flipped, or trump* being booted out of office, even if Democrats start fighting back with equal ferocity, the fight won't be carried on Prime Time.

The double standard is strong, and until the general 'slack jaw' population WAKES UP, things won't change. They are the ones who keep voting these miscreants into office.

I hope that makes sense. I am beyond frustrated and frightened, and my anxiety is pushing past 'red level', lately. Sometimes I think my brain is short circuiting.

[busterbrown]

9. Yea.. Thanks...

I've grown into a suspicious being out here..I think I jump to conclusions out of fear...A lot

[Siwsan]

11. I know what you mean

I'm trying to remain hopeful, while also investigating my options for moving across the border.

[busterbrown]

13. I would if i could afford it..

but...Should we not stay and fight? Iduknow... Its all up to the individual

[Siwsan]

15. It is just an option, I'm weighing

It all depends on the 2018 mid-term results. If things don't turn around, I am fearing it will be the end of this country, anyway.

I took an early retirement, so it's not easy to get permission for residency in Canada, unless I go back to work. Another option is to switch all of my investments to Canada.

I'm HOPING things start to turn around, soon.

21. trying to pin Weinstein to the Dems

Weinstein/Trump comparison

[bearsfootball516]

3. I saw this story multiple times on pretty much every mainstream media website

It got a lot of play when it broke.

[busterbrown]

4. Not much on Repub Hypocrisy!

Everytime they Bring Dems involvement with Weinstein up.. We need to talk about this particular subject.

The abortion issue hypocrisy musty be exposed.

[Hoyt]

5. If people are too stupid to see the hypocrisy in what happened, they aren't going to stop voting

for GOPers or supporting these losers.

In my opinion, if the media reports it, it's up to people to decide.

It's like those who said the media had Trump on too often. Well, if viewers couldn't see what kind of vile buffoon Trump is, then the media coming out calling him a "vile buffoon" isn't going to change their positive opinion of him.

[malaise]

7. He was forced to resign next week - was planningn to serve out his time

I agree - this needs more coverage

[busterbrown]

10. Honestly? I'm on MSNBC and CNN AAAAAAlot

Lots of stuff (which is understandable) on Weinstein all day long.

There was little mentioned referring to that PIG Murphy during the discussion of Weinstein...
They are the exactly the same goddamn thing.. Hypocrisy! Weinstein with ties to Progressive Politicians...
And Murphy holding such Christian values!

[malaise]

16. I'm more upset that they're not giving Groper Don the Con

the same coverage as Weinstein but I know that is coming and soon

[smirkymonkey]

19. I agree, this needs way more coverage and so does Trump's behavior with women

Harvey Weinstein is a pig, but I have never seen a republican - many who have been as bad, if not worse - being dragged through the mud by the media like he was. It's shameful. Like Trump says, "Equal Time"!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. If you haven't seen it,

well I'm not sure what to say. It's been more or less everywhere. Maybe not quite as front and center as the fires in California or the ongoing horror in Puerto Rico, but it's there.

[busterbrown]

12. Like the Weinstein story..?

No way...Conservatives are using this story to implicate all Dems who ever affiliated with Weinstein... 24/7
How come not this story of Hypocrisy which is on a 10 level.

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. This is hypocrisy; Weinstein is about multiple sexual assaults

Yes, sexual assault is more serious than hypocrisy.

[RandomAccess]

14. I have a much bigger gripe about the Dems

They're mostly silent on all Trump's many transgressions. If any Dem President had done any ONE of the multitudinous things Trump has, we'd never stop hearing about it. Our Dems? Mostly silent. Not entirely, just mostly.

Another example. Conservative pundits have been all over Weinstein by the way of sliming Dems. Where are Dems standing up and saying: Fine. Now where's your insistence for justice for Trump's accusers? How can you support Trump if you're castigating Weinstein? (Absolutely NOT defending Weinstein here, just pointing out that the Dems are passing up their chance to call out the damned perpetual hypocrisy of the R's.)

[SeattlePop]

17. Every Dem Should Start Every Speech With...

Please raise your hand if you have been groped by Donald Trump.

We need to be in their face, when they want us to surrender.

[Garrett78]

20. As I wrote in a thread I started...

In Obama's statement on Weinstein, he said, "Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status."

He should have followed that statement with something like, "Be that person a movie director or sitting President of the United States, he must face consequences for his deplorable actions."

We all know damn well that Republicans would not miss an opportunity like that. And it's not even a matter of taking the high road. It's a matter of being the forceful, fact-based opposition we all need the Democratic Party to be.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Reported here on DU, several times. But you are right, nobody's TALKING about the hypocrisy.
