Yes they do! The DNC embraces accused rapist and comedian Senator Franken with history of "joking" about rape all the while trying to make Rep. Akin's remarks about protecting the innocent life conceived by rape the forefront of their campaign

Bill Clinton was accused of rape multiple times prior to becoming the POTUS and was impeached for perjuring himself before Congress in regard to inappropriate sexual relations with a WH intern. Yet the impeached former Pres. Clinton.

Fast forward to Sen. Al Franken stumping for Obama-Bidne and his history of rape jokes on SNL.

The double standard is glaring.

The jokes thing was bad, I agree.
The other, you do know the difference between being accused of something and being convicted of it don't you, or are you one of those that believes a person is guilty until proven otherwise, at least if they are a Demo

We've come so far and yet we've gone backwards.

Tex Antoine (Uncle Weatherbee) rape comment in 1976 cost him his job.
