Democratic Sen. Al Franken was accused by a California sports radio broadcaster on Thursday of kissing and groping her without her consent in 2006 -- but the politician has a history of making crude remarks about sexually assaulting women.

Franken, then a comedian, was quoted in a 1995 New York Magazine article discussing a skit for “Saturday Night Live” that involved drugging and raping CBS reporter Lesley Stahl.

Abuse, sexual, mental, physical, it doesn’t matter what kind of abuse, whether it is man against woman or woman against man, should never be accepted in any way shape or form...

With these idiots doing what they are doing to people are laying down a dangerous path...

When someone is abused and needs to tell someone, there has to be people opened minded enough to listen to the facts, investigate and go from there; from what is happening now is very dangerous to the people that are being abused, have been abused for not coming forward...

I agree there are people out there that do this like it is ‘a joke’ but abuse in its many forms are not funny...

It’s time that we all start acting like adults and teach our children that this behavior is not acceptable...if you can’t tell your mother, friend, husband, boy friend, then there is something wrong...

Back in my days of growing up it was ‘well she asked for it, look at the way she dresses, and all that make up she wears’ well that isn’t always the case for abuse, there are greater things going on with the person doing the abusing than the person being abused...

Parents: Listen to your children, and go from there and get to the bottom of what is going on should one of your children come to you with something like the forms of abuse...

Franken, then a comedian,

One thing I can say with certainty regarding Al is that he was NEVER a comedian...

“See the baby rape joke told at a roast”


I am unaware of that one,and I’m glad that I am-———the astonishing thing to me is that people actually VOTED for him.

O’Reilly must be laughing his head off right now.

I recall Tammy Bruce saying that the most racist, homophobic, and sexist remarks she heard while living and working in Los Angeles as both an actress and for the local chapter of NOW back in the 1970s and 1980s came from self professed liberals. Franken’s antics seem to fit that bill very much so.

Franken probably found out the Senate is an even more fertile hunting ground for pervs than Hollywood so he ran for office.

Dems likely to sacrifice him, then call out republicans when Roy Moore wins.

Rape is a big deal to women. Why would any man voice something that would potentially cause fear in one of them? This isn’t funny. It’s sick and twisted.

For the same reason that old-time racists used to call competent black adults "boy" and "gal." It is a power technique to diminish and disempower other groups of people. And it is long past time for it to be correctly viewed as we now view the "n-word"—completely socially unacceptable and indecent.
