In
1995, with Republican Congressman Bob Packwood as the accused party
in a charge of sexually unwanted attention, the event was expanded by
the liberal press into an unforgivable attack against the entire
world of womanhood. But in 2017, for sitting Democrat and darling
liberal Congressman John Conyers, it’s just the old
Carville/Begala/Clinton defense of “it’s just about sex, now
let’s get back to the serious business of serving the American
people” method of dismissing the charges; but only if you’re a
Democrat. Being a Democrat must be a cool, fun thing to be.
On
the Fox News Network on Saturday morning, Geraldo Rivera pushed the
old liberal crap of sex offenses only being about playful, harmless
sex when it relates to a Democrat congressman, but it’s the end of
the world when a Republican is the accused party. I am anxiously
awaiting the Democrat defense when the idiot Joe Biden, known as
Handy Joe for his habit of having his hands all over whatever woman
he’s near, declares his candidacy for president in 2020. One can
bet that the press will have no record of Biden being “handy”,
and he’ll be described as the only Democrat who can muster the
“gravitas”, as the liberal press in Washington likes to describe
Democrats, to beat Trump in the next presidential election.
It’s
true that Conyers is just an old, harmless “coot”, as Geraldo
offhandedly describes him, but harassment is harassment regardless of
the age or the political party the accused is affiliated with, and
one wonders if perhaps the word “coot” is a racially insulting
word when uttered against a black Congressman, as Geraldo did on
Saturday. I’m just asking a serious, solemn question in this
racially-charged atmosphere of American politics.
But
so was Bob Packwood an old coot in 1995, and that did not keep the
Democrats and the liberal press from running him out of town with
their own form of harassment based on the constitutional freedom of
the press to selectively decide which stories they will go forward
with, and which they will spike, for political reasons, of course.
