As the sex scandals continue their relentless forward march, early efforts at a course correction are beginning to emerge. Some of these efforts are necessary and involve making distinctions distinctions between, say, felonious assault, which should lead to prison, and really gross workplace behavior, which should lead to serious disciplinary action but should probably fall short of complete ruination.
The danger, however, is that these distinctions get drawn in such a way that they protect one set of offenders and not the other purely on the grounds that the protected set is made up of people you like or who work for the causes you champion and the bad guys are the people you dont and who dont.
These are the astonishing arguments now being made on behalf of senatorial candidate Roy Moore, on the one hand, and Sen. Al Franken, on the other.
Now, these two cases require exactly the kinds of distinctions Im talking about. Moore is credibly accused of unspeakable behavior with a 14-year-old. Franken was caught on camera being a disgusting boor and has been accused of sticking his tongue in a womans mouth.
Moores alleged conduct was felonious and morally depraved. Franken appears to have acted like a repellent creep, which is bad but misdemeanor-bad. It seems important at a moment when a national narrative is galloping along at Secretariat speed to be able to separate the two.

The banning of God and Natural Law which erases our Constitution and Justice System can not go forward with a Judge Moore.
God and God’s Laws are anathema to the Satanists who took over our country to create a Vice System which promotes Stalin’s constitution.
Truth is more hated than lies and that is why Judge Moore is so reviled-—just as the Bible says people who stick by Jesus would be hated.
Exactly!
Want to do what Partisan Media Shill Podhoretz does? Then don't do what he says. Franken's guilty, Moore is being smeared. The DNC's false equivalence meme is just being parroted by the rectum Podhoretz. Thanks Oshkalaboomboom.
One situation is a purposeful political SMEAR to change the outcome of an election, where the accusers are soliciteded times and paid.
The other is the natural course of an event coming to the light of public scrutiny in an environment where many women are stepping forward.
The SMEAR happened 38 years ago, the other in more recent and enlighten times.
he even admits that Moore’s conduct is alleged, but he seems more than willing to destroy someone over at best a questionable story from 40 years ago, but willing to forgive Franken for his behavior of just a few years ago.
“Moore is credibly accused of unspeakable behavior with a 14-year-old.”
No he isn’t. There is no evidence at all except for the word of the woman in question.
Moore is a Christian....Poderetz and Franken are both Jewish.....might just be as simple as that.
It is the difference between a proven act (Franken’s) and a mere accusation of an act - especially one that only a partisan hack like Podheretz could call “credible.”
and you were hopefully only suckered into forgetting.
“Credibly accused”?
This putz is the worst of the next-generation pampered neocons out there.
“Neocons” are liberal elites who only differ from other liberals because of their belief in a hawkish foreign/military policy. And their hawkish foreign/military policy is not for the sake of nationalistic (America First Trump) principles - but for a globalist agenda.

He is a drug addict.
Well, there's a nasty scurrilous lie. What OTHER lies does the New Dork Compost have for us?
Moore is credibly accused of unspeakable behavior with a 14-year-old.
