Remember, this is a thread about #metoo. Having said that, I could care less who you voted for. But when you start defending public figures when they are clearly doing wrong/harm, then you are part of a cult. I have no problem criticizing democratic leadership when I disagree with their actions. Cult 45 will not do the same for their leader.

This is part of the problem - people who cannot make independent judgements. Fox news watchers need to learn to think for themselves. Parroting what Hannity says does not equal critical thinking.

Now you have paid demonstrators, in the halls of congress over clear false allegations from decades ago, yet they turn a blind eye when questioned about Cory Booker and Keith Ellison, with actual proof.
MeToo is astroturf, meant to go after Republicans. It has netted Democrats.

Uh, your logic is bass ackwards, BB. If anything, this movement has been NON PARTISAN and does not discriminate on position, race, religion, etc. It has called out people on both sides of the aisle, and people who have NO political affiliations.

I know this doesn't fit into your little agenda, but you actually pointed out how FAIR this movement has been.

You know damn well he was part of the Democrat political machine.
Ok--please try to follow the logic.

Weinstein was the first big fish caught in the #metoo net.

Your thread title - "MeeToo [sic] movement created to go after Conservatives" is Fake News.

This 'movement' had nothing to do with attacking conservatives.

It was about holding men (and women, as applicable) accountable for their words and behavior--my point being that Weinstein pretty much kicked off the movement and he is not conservative.

Your assertion in the title is flawed and not correct.

So...I take it that you have defended both Hillary and Obama, correct? Then you, too, are part of a cult

Those who watch news on networks other than Fox also need to learn to think for themselves and not parrot what the pundits say. Parroting what they say does not equal "critical thinking".

Pot meet kettle.

Shameful bunch of Trumpites. I wonder if any are the mothers of daughters, and if so, how those daughters feel about this?
Actually they all voted for Obama, twice.

Do you have anything at all to support this claim that it was created to target conservatives? Maybe the very fact that it's encompassing Democrats proves your statement to be untrue.

Does this stuff just freely flow out of your head, or do you have to work at it ? Just like Trump, some of you spew nonsense and then try to make it real.

I think the Bill Crosby matter kicked it up a notch.
That, women will no longer accept men telling them , "your claim was so long ago..." " too late", " must be another agenda". " I never met you"
What scoundrels.
