First Lauer. Then Keillor. It’s like Christmas...

You notice no one has heard a peep out of Madonna, who I think admitted she slept with everyone in the music industry.

I think a FReeper suggested a couple weeks ago that Steve Bannon was at least partly responsible for starting the fall of their house of cards on this issue.

That would be great.

Yes, liberal friends would be taking it a bit too far. (I am recalling all of the vile, nasty stuff a relative said about Trump supporters after the “Access Hollywood” stuff through at least early this year....)

I hadn’t seen that about Lauer. Has that been put out in public? (I have been diligently working most of today - a bit out of touch with “the latest”).

“...the biggest pricks around...”

Don’t use such language about kerrie gaylur.

That’s part of a man.

One more liberal who hates traditional Americans... hmmm, wonder if there’s a connection between abusing powerless women and hating people with traditional values?

Keillor eulogized Harry Blackmun at a memorial service, and praised Blackmun on many other occasions.

“If I had a dollar for every woman who asked to take a selfie with me and who slipped an arm around me and let it drift down below the beltline, I’d have at least a hundred dollars.”

He’s 6’4” so it’s likely to happen by accident.

I do not like Keillor because of his politics but I DO like his storytelling.

I dislike the undercurrent of mockery of Christians and Middle America that flows through his stories. He is an elitist snob.

I just want to say, that being a big advocate for victims of sexual abuse, that all these accusations are bordering on hysteria...

you all know I stand up for rape victims when many freepers blame the victim....

but I do not respect many of these women coming out of the blue with these allegations...

as a woman, I'm humiliated that they sat on their hands until it became in vogue to claim sexual abuse/harassment..

if this happens, YOU SHOUT IT ON THE ROOFTOPS....

you don't just put up with it..

I'm going to bet that these allegations are all true but its cover for the real crimes....sexual abuse of young boys and men..THAT will stay concealed....

Yah, there plenty of perv-perps along the political
spectrum. However, I would honestly guess that there
are more to be found to the left of center than to
the right. Why? Well, it is not that conservatives are
necessarily more morally upstanding although some will
make that case. My cynical side tells me it is because
liberal politicians might feel more emboldened because
they are typically less scrutinized by the media. Or,
to put it another way, in most places conservatives
understand that if they are found out by the media
they have no chance at getting a pass.

Very well said. I agree with you. I don’t care for the witch hunt atmosphere l, but I’m glad some of these women now feel safe enough to speak out. I just hope there are no liars among them to cheapen the truth.
