"Do you really think that a Hindu holy man was diddling nubile teenie girls with the whole world looking on?"
Yes, I do believe it. Most lefty icons have terrible track records highlighted very much by hypocrasy and deliberately hidden by the media.
I'm not sure why Gandhi should be considered a "lefty icon," but you're right, most of them are utter hypocrites and liars. I don't know that Gandhi is any different, but I'd like to believe so.
You're free to believe what you want.
