ABCNews' Alleged "Proud Independent" Chief Political Analyst: There's a Big Difference Between Rapists and Molesters Working for "The Common Good" (i.e., Progressives) and Those Not Working for the "Common Good" (i.e., Conservatives)

When does this guy's scandal drop, someone wondered.

Every leader (and each of us) is human and flawed and makes mistakes, but there is a difference between those who are flawed who work for the common good and those who are flawed who could care less about the common good. Huge difference.

Yes. Good point! and St Paul said the same thing a about a couple of millennium ago:

Because of his ties to GW Bush, he is very useful to the media. "Even Bush admin officials like Matthew Dowd say Republicans are icky." The likes of David Frum and Nichole Wallace have done well for themselves in that role.

225 "Every leader (and each of us) is human and flawed and makes mistakes, but there is a difference between those who are flawed who work for the common good and those who are flawed who could care less about the common good. Huge difference."

By his logic, since the second group "could care less about the common good", that means that they do care about the common good to some degree.

However, if the first group is the opposite of the second group, then the first group would be described as "they could NOT care less about the common good", which means they do not care about the common good to any degree.

295 Meremortal, my vestigial optimism, which must be assessed via electron microscope, yet holds out hope that the "abuse list" from Congress will indeed be outed. As I noted earlier, this could be - could be - part of a whirlwind unseen in American politics not seen in our lifetimes, to include Vietnam or Watergate.

And what about the NFL continuing to show their lack of concern about this year's meltdown by (apparently) discussing, essentially, cancelling the national anthem at games starting next year, by keeping the squads in the locker rooms?

I still think the NFL needs a spectacular, and particularly odious, case of criminal behavior - best would be sexual assault, natch - this season. Or maybe an accessory to homicide case. Not enough anchors around the neck of that s**t-show.

298 First they tried argument, and they failed because it was uncovered as sophism.

Then they went stealth and hide their endgame.

After that They took over governments and the courts. They obfuscated the law and undermined the constitution.

They saw it was working and felt they had enough momentum to keep it going. Obama, Hillary and Bernie opened the kimono. They went full socialist and communist.

It failed miserably.

Now they want to put the genie back in the bottle. But that won't work. So they're not even hiding their contempt for the average person. They keep trying to divide us.

But it won't work because people like Dowd are going to be crushed.

I am so sick of these people who have destroyed our society and want to replace it with their oligarchy.

"ABC Analyst: Republicans 'Empowered' Bill Clinton Sexual Misconduct by Getting Clarence Thomas on Supreme Court"

Glittering dumbfuck doesn't seem to consider that Bill has done this shit his entire fucking life, since well before Anita Hill was ever heard of.

It was the Dems that wrote news laws making 'sexual harassment' a thing to try to bring down Thomas. They never considered the net they cast applied to them, because, like Matthew, they give liibs a pass for 'common good.'

393 so on one hand, celebrities have women react to them so positively that they can grab them by the poosey. And similarly, some progressives are doing such positive work that they too are allowed to actually grab women by the poosey.

394 So this attitude of 'good works' absolving one of unacceptable behavior pretty much clears George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the rest of those old dead white guys of the sin of slavery...right?

The Buying of Indulgences, if I'm not mistaken. There have been rumors going around for decades that Chicago's old Mafia spent some of their ill-gotten gains on beautiful stained glass and statues for their favorite churches. But look how those churches benefited from all that murder, porn distribution, drug selling, selling of "protection" to neighborhood merchants, etc.

396 The rumor is that he was shtupping Shriver while he was managing Arnie's campaign.

They went public in 2013, but like politics and Hollywood, it was an open secret the whole time.

397 wow, 400 comments and my basic ass is the first to mention grab them by the pussy?

celebrities meet women who will let men grab them by the pussy, generating a sense of entitlement that maybe most women will react positively to any advance.

(as teh Streetz wrote in a song, being famous means you can score non famous chicks, but you're still helpless score famous birds (who are presumably immune to the stuff)).

progs seem to get entitlement not based on any actual receptivity by the ladies.

398 the greater good "right to rape" clause is rather common for power figures, but most don't believe it is a real excuse. They have power and ability and are bad people, so they use the power for their lusts and greed.

The "flaws and greater good" argument only comes out when they are facing punishment. They'll dab their eye with pepper to produce tears if that helps their cause. None of them belong in leadership, if they can't control their animal instincts.

Alpha males that go all rapey must be controlled (imprisoned if need be) by alpha males that are leaders (who respect those they "lead").

409 I wonder if Matthew Dowd is aware how close his view is to Hitler's in Mein Kampf? He dwelled on what he called the communal good over individuals. He used it, ironically, to shut down the press and did so in the name of the "common good."

413 Quick Translation:

"We, The-Glorious-Elites, are always right. You Dirt-People are always wrong."

See also NYT's Stanley Fish from 03/2012, "Two cheers for double standards".
Essentially, "We are the Borg, and are beyond your petty judgments, peon. You who are Un-Assimilated have no standing and no worth."

They've elected themselves the Morlocks, and we're supposed to be their willing, sheep-like Eloi.
