I could not disagree more with Gillibrand [View all]
I finally read her, fire up the mob screed, on facebook.
She said: "We should not have to be explaining the gradations between sexual assault, harassment and unwelcome groping."
What planet is she on? We Democrats specialize in distinctions, gradations, grey areas. We value discernment and the ability to evaluate differences, most importantly the differences between truth and bullshit. That's our thing.
I am sorry she doesn't want to teach her kids these things. But I certainly think we should continue teaching them to ours. If she had her way, everyone would be resorting to carrying their selfie sticks pointed from the waist outward at all times so they wouldn't - horror of horrors touch someone else - it might be *gasp* an "unwelcome touch"
She doesn't have an inkling of an idea about what constitutes justice either. Lynch mobs have never been known for getting to the truth or for dispensing calm, level headed, wise, informed justice. We want truth, we want justice. That's another Dem thing.
The puritanical, let's not have any joking around, budding authoritarian Gillibrand needs to stand down her unwarranted attack on Franken.
She needs to do some deep reflection about her eager willingness to harshly punish and banish someone for #gasp# having posed for thousands of photos with women. She's wrong to have whipped up this hysterical mob. It's cruel and immoral.
