Interesting how instead of replying to my last post, you had to back up to one you already answered.

My sentence made perfect sense in context. I'll type slowly:

You suggested my personal life wasn't perfect, as if that were the issue with Moriarty. In fact, the issue is that Moriarty was arrested for hitting a woman.

Following so far?

*I*--DW--am not going to be associated with Fred Thompson by people who'd love nothing more than to claim he's--Fred's--being backed by someone who's abused a woman--Moriarty.

A complex sentence, sure. But perfectly acceptable grammatically, and perfectly understandable to anyone with eighth-grade-level reading comprehension. Unless you're trying to dodge the issue.

Class dismissed.

What? I'm a FredHead. Your initial post made it seem like FredHeads supported a wife-beater.

I really have no idea what has or hasn't happened in Moriarty's private life. Nor do I care.

Hollywood gossip is just that. And I don't do gossip.

Woman hits man, man hits woman, man leaves in anger, woman calls cops. Nothing to see here.
50 million abortions relieves me of that responsibility.

Actually it would take a little more than an 8th grade education on that one, grammatically correct but a bit ungainly as read, I had to read it thrice, and I minored in English so exceed the suggest educational requirement.

However I do see your point and understand how you feel, I am neutral on this one as well, good actor, a bit unsettled, but maybe it’s “any port in a storm” time...
