Pelosi: Why, no, I have no desire to denounce the molesty Democratic mayor of San Diego « Hot Air

Quote:
After all, local news stories are just local news stories unless they serve a larger truth favored by our friends in media and folks like Rep. Nancy Pelosi. And, the idea that a man in a position of power might systematically abuse that power, doling out unwanted sexual advances coupled with threats of punishment for non-compliance, the idea that a mayor of a major American city might require a standing rule not to meet with women behind closed doors and the creation of “workplace safety zones” for women who feel threatened by him, the idea that numerous harassment allegations had been treated casually and cavalierly for years by a party apparatus intent on covering them up, not ensuring safety of women in the workplace, the idea that said leader should then maybe not give a keynote speech at a conference about sexual harassment in the militarythese are not larger truths worth exploring because the man in power is a Democrat.

“I’m not here to make any judgments.” I can understand her surprise at this question. Since when are national politicians required to comment on the transgressions of regional politicians, especially in the realm of gender politics and women’s issues? What next? A question about some politician’s comments in Missouri or Indiana?
Since when you dragon lady witch? And some of you really believe all they say and do is to look out for women, gays, etc, etc, etc pick your political chip. They care about their agenda and party.

Sexual harassment only matters to liberals if they can use it to attack their political opponents.

Once again our right wing posters prove they aren't very bright. There hasn't even been an official complaint nor has any woman come forward yet so all we have is a rumor being spread by his old primary opponent who just so happens would pretty much be the defacto nominee if the current mayor steps down. Call me old fashioned but if you want to destroy the life and career of a man I want it to be based upon facts not on rumors and claims which no one will publicly come forward to say is true.

Since facts don't matter to right wing nutjobs it is no wonder they continue their brain damaged ravings.

(Fill in the blank) only matters to liberals if they can use it to attack their political opponents. EVERYTHING they do is political. EVERYTHING. I dont think they have any real moral code or values.

Sorry. I can't speak for anyone else, but I tend to skip your posts because I pretty much know it will be standard Obama worship and DNC propaganda.

Got a link?

Once again, the bashing of the party takes precedence over common sense. Pelosi has done a 180° from how she'd respond if it were a Republican. Rather than just admit it's more of the same poor decision making, and transparently bias; you choose to blame the people who see it for what it is... making you a hypocrite.

Since when have facts ever got in the way of his posts?

The council members themselves have stated this has turned into a circus. A Mayor that isn't allowed to be alone with any female during working hours. WTH is wrong with people who will stick up for any dirt bag simply because he or she is a Democrat?

While many have been shocked by the allegations, this is not the first time Filner, a Democrat, has been accused of wrongdoing. Former state lawmaker Lori Saldana says several years ago she reported the abuse claims of six different women to the top Democratic official in San Diego.

How did that get swept under the rug, I wonder?

The more crap like this churns up the more I think liberal bastions like New York City deserve Weiner as a Mayor, and Spitzer as comptroller. If they are stupid enough to vote in people who will inevitably steal, act badly, and be ineffective at their jobs; then they deserve the train wreck they vote for!
