NBC has fired its leading morning news anchor Matt Lauer over a sexual harassment allegation, the network’s president for news said in a memo to staff on Wednesday.
“On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer,” Andrew Lack, the NBC News president, said in the memo.
You've managed to take out just about everyone EXCEPT the person you were aiming for.
No, this is the danger of trying to take someone out politically based off allegations.Who cares? If they did bad things it’s a positive good for it to come out regardless of whether or not Trump or Moore are ousted.
This is what having principles is all about. Something isn’t simply good or bad based on whether it has the political outcome you want.

Outside of a court of law, everything you posted is irrelevant.If you think stories from six different people (I think, I’ve lost count), backed up by thirty others are mere ‘allegations’ then you’ve lost your mind.
Moore should be ‘taken out’ politically because to any rational and objective observer he’s very likely guilty of serious offenses. It’s a positive moral good to attack him on this regardless of whether he wins or not. We are just talking about basic human decency at this point.
No doubt men can be pigs but women can be vindictive cvnts as well and it's easy for one to claim a pat on the back was sexual in nature to ruin another person's life.

If we are going to hold people accountable based off allegations, then we might as well just throw the notion of due process out the window.
What I do know is that this line of reasoning deflected off Trump and apparently will for Moore as well, but will cause political damage for people like Franken.You are seriously attempting to argue that we should only use evidence that has been adjudicated in a court of law in our decisions on who to vote for? Why on earth would any sane person apply this standard? Due process applies only to whether or not the government can deprive you of liberty or property. It has literally nothing to do with who you vote for, nor should it.
Stop and think how insane the world would be if we didn’t exercise independent judgment and waited for the courts to tell us what to believe on everything. A rational person evaluates the available facts and comes to a conclusion on the most likely thing that occurred. Six separate accusers, physical evidence, and 30 corroborating witnesses is about as airtight a case as you’re likely to ever see. I’m quite certain you’ve accepted many things in your life on far less evidence.

You are rationalizing something that is inherently irrational.
So Franken should resign?I certainly can’t control if other people are unprincipled enough that this doesn’t matter to them.
If we operate on the idea that we should ignore serious sex crimes committed by Republican candidates for office because liberals who have also engaged in misconduct might be outed as well then we are no better than the unprincipled people who voted (or will vote) for Trump and Moore. The answer isn’t to become as shitty as they are.

Only took the very first post after the OP to try and make this thread about something else. Is this a new record?
I'm sure you realize they were making fun of you, right?

I’m ambivalent about that. He’s certainly accused of inappropriate behavior but it’s nothing even remotely as bad as Moore, who molested a child.
