San Diego Mayor Bob Filner Accused of Harassing Military Sexual-Assault Victims
NRO ^ | 08/07/2013 | Sterling Beard

Posted on 08/07/2013 12:07:42 PM PDT by bkepley

Eight women from the National Women’s Veterans Association of America (NWVAA) have now stepped forward to allege that San Diego mayor Bob Filner has sexually harassed them, CNN reports.

The NWVAA was formed as a safe haven for military sexual-assault victims, and almost all of the women who have now stepped forward were victims of such behavior while in the military. They allege that Filner used his position as a chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee to gain access to victims of military sexual assault because they were less likely to complain.

I can't believe that even a Democrat can survive this or can be so stupid as to think he can.

In the future running for office will require one to be a sociopath. We just get them at random now, but we need to ensure candidates all qualify in the future.

What will it take to blast this guy out of office? He will make the citizens and taxpayers of SD spend a few million to recall him. Meanwhile the city is totally pre-occupied with his victim of the day announcements.

Oh, the arrogance!

We should have a draft Filner for President petition. He would make a great woman’s candidate. He could feel his way to the White Hut. I bet there would be lots of illegal alien rapists who would get behind his candidacy. Big question is who would get to go first, feeler or the rapist.

Filner first as the illegal alien rapists tend to kill their 9 month and 93 year old victims.

Demo-crips are such lovely people.

Hey Chuck U, would you have a different opinion on illegals if one of them raped one of your family to death. After all you don’t seem to mind if citizens families have to deal with it.

I live very close to San Diego and am here to tell you a lynch mob mentality is forming. This is a horrendous abuse of power by a sick, perverted, psycho.

On a political level, consider please the endorsements Filner received from well know Democrats. Many of those same democrats knew of his behavior from decades in Congress. They still made the decision that having a Dem in power is more important than integrity.

Let me repeat that . . . having a Dem in power is more important than integrity.

I’m beyond pissed!!!!

Let’s not forget that the San Diego press knew of Filner’s proclivities before the election.

They kept their mouths shut to get a “progressive” into office.
