It would have been illegal in any corporation in the US.

Especially injurious is harassment characterized by inequality of power, such as between a supervisor and a subordinate; senior faculty and junior faculty; faculty and students; and graduate teaching assistants and undergraduates.

I'm pretty sure in left-wing la la land pedophilia is a curable and manageable man made affliction.

Oops... Human made affliction. Don't want to leave out all the females.

Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, whose telephone number was disclosed by the so-called "D.C. Madam" accused of running a prostitution ring, says he is sorry for a "serious sin" and that he has already made peace with his wife.

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said Monday in a printed statement. "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling.

Not me. I think they're disgusting. Do you condone pedophilia & molesting of minors? After all, I don't see you expressing outrage over it, just deflection.

The Republican party, once hijacked by the religious zealots, became this party of self righteous Biblical values. This man promoted this narrative as well. And then he does this.

Yeah, Bill Clinton cheated on his wife and we all agree that this was wrong. But his big thing wasn't about sacred family values. That's the key difference. Clinton cheating on his wife wasn't some massive show of hypocrisy like this man who believes gay people to be sinners while having a history of molesting children.

And I'm a pretty progressive guy. It sounds like this all happened in the past, and I do believe he regrets what he did and has no intention of ever doing something like that again. But regardless, someone who has a history of doing this should have a profound understanding of sexual morality and know that immoral sex acts are not dependent on one's gender. Consensual acts of sex between two men isn't a problem; no one is harmed and everyone involved is on board. This man molested minors. Trust was broken and not everyone involved wanted to be involved.

Bringing up Bill is as relevant as me adding in "Bush did 9/11." It's not the same thing at all.

I wasn't joking...

Pedophilia is a sexual orientation and unlikely to change. Treatment aims to enable someone to resist acting on his sexual urges.

Pessimism about pedophilia - Harvard Health

Notice the wording. What does that sound like to you? I know what it sounds like to me. Please feel free to read the provided link.

As far as you inferring that I'm somehow in support of pedophilia or pedophiles because you can't wrap your tiny little brain around your movement's underlying ideology is not my fault. The reason democrats and the left don't run on family values is because they see the state as the ultimate parent. The nuclear family must be obliterated because it's the very first and most primal form of capitalism. Owning of a "wife and children."

That's why it's so funny to see people essentially saying "if they had just not ran on family values..."

He did this before becoming a Republican........how do you hold all Republicans responsible for something Hastert never spoke about and neither had anyone else? After all, Hillary and Al Gore lie to Democrats constantly and there is no love lost there!


As far as I know no one seems to be saying, "Hastert didn't do it."

This and there are stories about an island with young girls on it.......available to old men. If this is true, some important people are doing a fine job covering the story up.


Amazing how people speak of Bill cheating, but not the threats put on the women to keep everything quite. Some may think this was a minor action against his wife, but the women have faced much more than mild responses from the Clintons.

Your deflection of Hastert's actions could be construed as condoning. Is there a reason why you haven't addressed & instead continue to bring up liberals which has nothing to do with this heinous act?
