(160,527 posts)He cares deeply. What's missing is decency on the part of anyone who would want to cause trouble for him.
I can understand if there are simply a lot of astoundingly STUPID people who bump into him, who are simply not on a very intelligent wave length, who wildly misread and misinterpret many people around them due to their own unbearable inability to understand other people altogether.
Surely everyone has run across people like that, people who leave you flabbergasted when you realize how MUCH they just don't "get" around them, and how far away they are from being able to know anything at all about other people.
It's painful to watch in real life, and it happens often.
It was easy to tell from the first idiots were involved in these attempts to destroy Al Franken. You could tell by their own descriptions, their inability to perceive what had happened.
Instead of being ignored, someone gave them a microphone to the world, and encouraged them to go for broke.n They weren't prepared for their moments of "fame!" They simply babbled what they imagined was wanted from them.
Hope anyone who was in doubt about him will finally awaken, shake off the silliness and start paying attention to the events in their lives in order to grasp any trace of reality.
It was tremendous the person who took the time to chronicle the interactions he had with this young lady, and share them, now. What he did, over time, was genuine, totally uplifting, respectful, and full of love. Impressive, but not a surprise.
Thank you, so much, babylonsister.
