HuffPo Memory-Holes Piece Blasting Al Franken’s Alleged Victims as Partisan Liars
breitbart ^ | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 11/21/2017 5:21:22 AM PST by davikkm

On Friday, the day after two women accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of harassment, HuffPo published an article titled, “The Framing Of Al Franken By Two Trump Supporters; And The Dems Are Playing Right Along.” The piece is written by David Fagin, a frequent HuffPo contributor. According to Media Equalizer, the story was removed just a few hours later (the archive can be seen here). According to the archive, HuffPo not only called into the question the credibility of both accusers, Fagin also smeared them personally.

“I’m sorry. But something is rotten in Denmark. Two Trump supporting, right-wing zealots come forward with bottom of the barrel accusations,” Fagin writes, “and no one, not even the Dems cries foul?”

The personal attacks came next.

“Leeann Tweeden, a former Playboy Playmate who’s spent half her life nude, or nearly nude, and the other half appearing on shows such as Hannity,” Fagin writes, adding “also just happens to be a Trump supporter, as well. Isn’t it interesting how she’s decided to share her nightmarish tale of horror and humiliation in the form of an unrequited kiss on behalf of a liberal-leaning Senator with us, now?”

First, Al Franken ... now it’s John Conyers ...

The reason the 268 names have not been been released is, imho, most of them are DEMs ...

Why? Because the REPUB names woulda been leaked ...

The Main Street Street Media is not gonna be able to keep this Genie in the bottle ...

The pictures documenting an attack while she was sleeping didn’t give them a wee pause?

In the article, the writer simply made up a claim that the photographer said it was posed and asked for.

These people are scum, and dangerous scum at that. There’s nothing they won’t stoop to in order to win. They hate us and they make so secret of it. The more honest ones come right out and tell us what they want.

They want us enslaved. And if we won’t submit they want us dead. One of them tried to assassinate a significant number of the Republican House delegation. Remember that?

Another one attacked a Republican Senator and seriously injured him. He’s out of commission for MONTHS!

They lie as easily as you and I breath. They’ll use ANY means to smear, ruin reputations, or destroy livelihoods in order to get what they want.

The days of Marquis of Queensbury rules are over, my friends. We FINALLY have a man who fights back at the helm. And it’s time for us to fight alongside him.

Call these monsters out. Get in THEIR faces. Ruin THEIR reputations. Cost them THEIR jobs. Tooth, nail, hammer, and tong.

No mercy and no remorse because it’s for damned sure they show us none.

Have a nice day.

Yet they tried to get traction out of the alleged fact that one of Judge Moore’s accusers said she voted for Trump. But that angle silently faded away since it came out that she never bothered to vote.

Thanks davikkm. Partisan Media Shills, spewing the DNC talking points, then tryin to cover it up, instead of condemning it as the piece of agitprop that it was, printing a full (and sincere) retraction, along with apologies to the accusers -- that's what we've all come to expect from the HuffPo, and so has everyone else in the country who isn't one of their drone readers.

The dems are desperate. They wanted to bring down Republicans, but instead it’s filthy predator democrats who are being accused! I love it!
Squirming worms who write for leftist rags are doing their best to lie to protect dems, but they are failing.

Supposedly, Moore was a Democrat at the time of his alleged peccadilloes.

I agree, and I am surprised the DNC-Media did not circle the wagons and begin its own Clinton-Bimbo-Assassination-Squad.

HuffPo quickly realized slut shaming doesn’t work any more and got rid of this article. Slut shaming was Hillary’s way of apologizing for Bill back in his “rape years”. It made everything worse and that is why they will be viewed darkly by history. That witch could have been our President. The left is having a much tougher time attacking Trump with all this Dem rape and assault being uncovered.

Harassment knows know political allegiance yet a large number of Dems are in the zone, and this hurts them just when they were gaining some momentum. Very interesting to see how they try to spin out of this. Not easy, the victim infrastructure is well entrenched in American society, mostly by them, and it cannot be bypassed with mechanically yelling “slut” at rape victims. The days of Hillary-Carville-Blumenthal are over.

I haven’t seen an inquisition like this since the Communists were rooted out in the 50s. When in one day careers were trashed and people were in exile. This is remarkable.

Even partisans can be and often are victims.

Direct frontal attacks (deliberate pun intended) are the boldest way to overcome and subjugate those with whom there may be disagreement in other aspects of life.

But bold is not necessarily successful, especially if the intended victim has “second strike” capability.

Al Gropen, er, Franken, may have gotten a tiger by the tail (further deliberate pun intended).

In their desperation to stop Trump and Moore, the dimocrats forgot that THEY were the perv party.

“Isn’t it interesting how she’s decided to share her nightmarish tale of horror and humiliation in the form of an unrequited kiss on behalf of a liberal-leaning Senator with us, now?”

WTH does he mean “now”? Now that he’s running for office?

>> Why? Because the REPUB names woulda been leaked ... <<

Anyone ever ask how it is that Sen. Orin Hatch, a tea-totaling Mormon, was such good friends with Sen. Ted Kennedy? Fine, you reached across the aisle to maintain good relations... what did you ever gain from these relations, Orin? You compromised regularly, but did he? Or was it that you had so much in common with him? That you were so impressed with his character?
