On Ellison, Democrats and media go from #MeToo to 'Who ... me?'
Washington Times ^ | 9/20/18 | Larry O'Connor

As the media frenzy over unsubstantiated accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh reach a fever pitch, it’s truly instructive to observe the virtual news blackout over the case of Karen Monahan.

Ms. Monahan has accused Rep. Keith Ellison, the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee and the party’s nominee for Minnesota attorney general, of physical abuse during the course of their relationship.

Unlike Judge Cavanaugh’s accuser, Ms. Monahan is willing to go on the record to discuss the details of Mr. Ellison’s behavior. Also unlike Judge Cavanaugh’s accuser, Ms. Monahan has produced evidence to support the claims of physical abuse including medical records and witnesses with whom she confided and discussed Mr. Ellison’s behavior at the time.

And unlike the accusations against Judge Kavanaugh, the purported incident with Mr. Ellison took place less than two years ago, not over 35 years ago.

"Guess who is perpetuating all of these kinds of actions? It's the men in this country. And I just want to say to the men in this country – just shut up and step up. Do the right thing for a change."

Only way for news blackout about Ellison to disappear:

when more and more people blow up the story on social media.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Kavanaugh, Cavanaugh, Larry, Lairy, O'Conner, O'Konnor. Ah, for the good old days of proofreaders.

Journalism is long dead in the USA. The major media is an arm of the radical left and what passes for “news” is pure propaganda.

“Guess who is perpetuating all of these kinds of actions? It’s the men in this country. And I just want to say to the men in this country – just shut up and step up. Do the right thing for a change.”


Yep. And the same thing with women. They just perpetrate different kinds of actions. They need to “do the right thing for a change.”

The quote above is misandry. When men act badly, they act badly in a different way than women do. But both act badly. You don’t condemn the whole sex. You condemn the individuals who do these things.

This is the difference between the left and the right. The left just pins it on a group. The right understands personal responsibility.

The Dems can’t let the facts get in the way of their argument.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.....

But they are NOT entitled to their own set of facts.

Funny how facts get in the way of most of their argument.

Ellison’s accuser may need to sue the city for inaction.

All Freepers should go the letfreedomringblog.com to see the new ad that Ellison’s opponent is now running in Minnesota.

We folks in Minnesota are so controlled by the leftist media in Mpls-StP. It is hard to get any information out to the public which reflects poorly on Democrat candidates. The piece on Ellison and his troubles is a great one and you can view the new ad. I highly recommend it.
