On his weekly show on HBO last night, uber-liberal Bill Maher defended senator Al Franken. Franken, you see, only harassed a woman by forcibly kissing her and then fondling her breasts while she was sleeping. No big deal, right? Not according to Maher. On the other hand, Maher condemned Roy Moore for what he did to six or seven women. Of course, for all but two of the women, what he did was to ask them out when they were 18 or 19 and he was in his early 30's. He never used force or even touched them. He just invited them on dates. Oh, the horror!
Of course, there are hotly contested accusations from two more women which are not to be overlooked. One says Moore fondled her when she was 14. The other says Moore offered her a ride home from her job but instead drove her to the parking lot behind the diner where she worked (there has never been a parking lot there) then locked the doors to the car so she couldn't get out (those sorts of locks were introduced in the 1980s but this happened in the 1970s) and tried to rape her. She's also produced a yearbook Moore supposedly signed (although one does wonder why she was getting her yearbook signed by a man who tried to rape her.) which somehow she hasn't turned over to be forensically tested after Moore said it was a forgery.
I'm not forgiving Moore if these allegations are true. Meanwhile, we know that the statements about Franken are true -- there are pictures and he has admitted it.
So why is Maher defending Franken. Two words sum it up: Liberal Democrat.
It's both disgusting and revealing that the new awareness about sexual abuse doesn't apply to the left according to their biggest mouths.
