War on Women: Democrats Covered Up For Filner For Years, Permitting Him Fresh Victims, and Now They're Doing It Again

First, the covering up for years part. You've probably seen this already, but the national media apparently hasn't.

The local Democratic Party has known for a long time about sexual harassment allegations against Bob Filner, a former Democratic assemblywoman said in a Thursday interview.
“I blew the whistle on this two years ago to the Democratic Party leadership,” former Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña said.
Saldaña said that in summer 2011 six prominent women in local politics, business and education told her that Filner had physically or verbally harassed them. Saldaña had been exploring what turned out to be an unsuccessful bid for Congress and the conversations came in the context of the 2012 elections.
Saldaña said she contacted former party Chairman Jess Durfee with the allegations and Durfee was among a group of Democratic leaders who met with Filner to discuss them that summer. She said nothing happened.
“As disgraceful as Bob’s behavior has been, it’s been tolerated by our Democratic Party leadership,” she said.

And yet she supported him for mayor. Why? Because she was threatened with being politically blackballed if she didn't:

Party leaders, she said, made it clear that if people didn’t support Filner they wouldn’t receive their support again.

So that's the prior cover-up. Now here's the current one.

Now, a recall drive has been initiated. This requires some 101,000 signatures. The law here is sketchy -- what happens if someone "files for a petition to recall" but actually doesn't bother seeking the signatures because he's actually an ally of Filner's and doesn't want the recall to happen at all?

Does his fake, political-sabotage "petition for recall" effort blockade legitimate efforts to collect signatures?

It looks like we're confronted with that situation:

Stampp Corbin, a close Filner ally and publisher of the LGBT weekly in San Diego, has filed a recall notice to recall Mayor Filthy Filner. Corbin was the first to mount a recall effort when he published a notice in the San Diego Union Tribune on Friday.
Publishing a notice for a recall starts a 60 day clock for the process...
San Diego Gay and Lesbian News reports:

By triggering the recall process on July 25, and without much fanfare, Corbin appears to be taking time away from organizers to mount a proper campaign. And it calls into question whether another recall effort led by land-use consultant Michael Pallamary, who has given Filner until today, July 29, to resign or face a recall petition, can now go forward.
Corbin has also stated he will not run a paid campaign with staff to collect signatures. If the effort fails, the recall effort would be set back as the rules dictate that there is a six month waiting period if a petition has failed.

But is there any proof that's his intent? I mean, apart from not bothering to hire staff to collect 101,000+ signatures?

Indeed there is -- a witness says he stated, explicitly, that it occurred to him that his effort would "derail the other group," that is, the real group really seeking a recall. That's at the link.

Now, this appears to be a coordinated Democratic effort, by the local party and now by this local Filner ally, to cover-up for Fingers Filner and help him escape the people's judgment about his actions. Nevermind creating a target-rich environment for him, lots of victims and a political machine determined to make sure they remain victimized and silent about it.

The national media completely refuses to report on this angle. As I've said one thousand times, the media template for a Republican scandal is "Culture of X enables Y crime," but the template for a Democratic scandal is always, "It's just One Man's Failing (TM)."

The dog will not fucking hunt. The local Democratic Party, the State Party, and Nancy Pelosi's California caucus in DC all knew or must have known about this and chose to cover it up. Even now Democrats seem to be scheming to help Filner, while they supposedly call for his resignation publicly.

George Will noted that if Filner and Weiner were a Republican the media would be lecturing us on the "somber sociological" roots of the GOP's War on Women.

Yet here's an actual war on women -- with a Democratic city councilwoman serving a chief witness -- and they, as usual, embargo the story, just like the did with Kermit Gosnell.

20 This is why a "powerful admiral" would not come forward. Political power outside the military trumps any power within, even for high ranking officers. And officers know where their promotions come from. It literally takes an act of Congress to attain that rank. Captains and Colonels may fly under the radar when they are up for promotion, but I suspect that Admirals are highly visible and vulnerable. (Why else would a General (IIRC) officer grovel to Barbara Boxer when she insisted on being addressed as "Sentor"?)

25 Many people, especially women inside the Democratic Party knew this was happening. In the course of their indifference this pervert assaulted more victims.

Many women in the Democratic Party and media for that matter, have ignored this story because of political affiliation.

What exactly does that portray, when women are willing to let others become victims because of a political party? It screams not only of a corrupt, despicable philosophy, but that one must sacrifice all in the Democratic pursuit of power.

What a bunch of disgusting tripe and the people who let this happen are cowards and lowlifes.

If you think that the crap that is going on now can be resolved peacefully, you are much more of an optimist than I.

90 As I've said a thousand times, the GOP needs to learn a lesson from the Dems, and stop resigning over sex scandals and stop destroying their own over sex scandals.

For the Dems, it's all about winning. The Dems know how to win. It works.

Look, if these were normal times, I'd feel differently. But these are not normal times. Our Republic is at stake. The GOP can take all the high-ground moral stands they want, it's not going to change the low-info voter's perception. Or the media's perception. So fuck 'em.

91 The Democratic Party doesn't care about women. It uses them for political advantage, but had they cared about women they would have called Filner to account long before this and, would have spoken against the married Weiner sending explicit photos to women young enough to be his daughters. They would have also called people on the carpet for referring to Palin as a c--t and using violent language towards her. A number of men I know who have voted Democratic suggest that one of the most important issues on their agenda is abortion with no restrictions ("It's no different than snot down the drain"). So, as long as women are there for their sexual availability without consequences that's what matters Yep, they're good soldiers in the war on women.

I care, and it has nothing to do with the party affiliation of the women he's been harassing (although they had it coming, and no I won't denounce myself or prostrate myself on the Altar of Holy Vagina).

Nobody should be allowed to get away with this behavior, regardless of political leanings, race, gender, religion, etc. Nobody. That goes twofold for anyone in a position of power. It's unacceptable and despicable.

And honestly, Filner + Weiner + Spitzer is a threesome (yeah, I know, eye bleach) that any opposition candidate with half a brain (yeah, yeah) could use and use often to contrast the right's "binders of women" against the actual sexual predations of the left.

121 Just a reminder:

They get away with this because of their willing accomplices in the MEDIA.

Never forget that the primary reason we are living in such a terrible time with such terrible news is that the MEDIA has aided and abetted the Democrat/Liberal party at every turn.

They have lied, they have hidden and they have ignored the facts and refused to report them to the public.

Want to punish someone? PUNISH THE MEDIA.

Cut your cable, tell them why. Stop patronizing those who advertize and tell them why.

It's hard to give up easy entertainment but it's worth it. Plus there's lots out there from different outlets to make up for the loss.

Besides they do nothing but lie to you anyway no matter what they put on the screen, it's a LIE.

Posted by: Bitter Clinger and All That (Ecclesiates 9:11) at July 29, 2013 03:11 PM (28TG+)

122 The actions of the Democrats make perfect sense once you realize their coalition is basically the social equivalent of corporatism.

Each group submits totally to the cause. In return, the cause promises the groups the benefits that the cause has defined as the entirety of the various groups interest.

For example, the left defines the interest in the group known as women as being contraceptives and abortions. Thus, women must sacrifice everything else and submit to the greater cause to get their contraceptive/abortion benefits. This is because in corporatism, the only way to get anything is by serving the cause.

The cause will go after conservatives for sexual harassment because it furthers the cause. They will protect people like Filner as long as they can because it protects the cause. It is the same reason Baldwin can get away with homophobic slurs.

That women are just treated like their naughty bits is consistant with the left's ethos as well. According to the left, gender is separate from biological sex. The former is a social construct, while the other is nothing more than the presence, or lack thereof, of dangly bits. Since this is only a minor cosmetic difference, in the left's mind, treating men and women as not the same is just like treating a short person and a tall person as different. Since females are thus defined only by their sexual organs, only that which relates to their sexual organs could be what they as a defined group care about!

154 #133 There are not a lot of competent Democrats they could get to replace Filner. He had the name recognition and the progressive bona fides that nobody else has. I think they protected him just because he is the senior elected Democrat in the area and their party is devoid of leadership without him. Of course, it never occurered to them that other women were walking into harm's way every day due to their silence. Liberals care only about "the people," never about any individual person that has been or couldbe harmed.

San Diego is really a backwater of politics. The fact that a known lecher like Filner could rise to be Mayor is indicative of that. There hasn't been real leadership in San Diego since Pete Wilson left office in 1983, just a series of clowns and nincompoops. I moved there from Washington in 1989, knowing no one, and within 8 months had a job running the district office of a state assemblyman. Nobody worth a damn wants to get into politics there.

I got about three hours sleep last night for no reason I can tell (fuck you stupid beta meat sack) and only the massive caffeine intact is getting me through now. That's not to mention we have a 4:30 meeting with some really really really annoying people and I have a feeling it's going to be go home, eat dinner, have a half glass of wine and pray I make it to the bed.

Because hard core.

170 1 - male dominated society
2 - men force women to have sex and get pregnant
3 - pregnant women and women with children become totally dependent on men

that's why the radical feminists think abortion is so important. (Facts have nothing to do with it)

add,
4 - powerful guilt/shame from killing an innocent child keeps women on the psychological plantation where acceptance of evil is celebrated.

184 #159 San Diego has had some bad mayors in recent years, I think Filner won in large part because he convinced people that 20 relatively scandal-free years in Congress made him at least competent to do the job. Saldana has a rep as a rabble rouser but not much else, which is true of most minor elected officials in San Diego. There just isn't much real talent there. I have talked to a lot of people there since this story broke and they all say the same thing - Filner was the only guy people actually trusted to do a competent job as Mayor.

The city really needs a non-political businessman to run for Mayor, like Richard Riordan did in LA years ago, but nobusiness people there want anything to do with City Hall. So they get stuck with fools and now with a dirty old man.

On Wednesday, Rep.

The measure would also cut funds for states that don't require neighborhood watch programs to register with local law enforcement.

According to The Hill, Jackson Lee said the bill would help "decrease the incidence of gun violence resulting from vigilantes by reducing by 20 percent the funds that would otherwise be allocated … to any state that does not require local neighborhood watch programs to be registered with a local [law] enforcement agency."

219 and from the Houston Chronicle website:

Rich Cooper, avid blogger for Security Debrief, responded to the news
of the Jackson Lee recommendation in a post by saying, “Apparently, it
is not a joke. For reasons that baffle any sense of reality, it is a
serious gesture on the part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to
encourage President Obama to nominate Rep. Jackson Lee as a replacement
for outgoing-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.”

A letter dated July 25 and signed by CBC Chairwoman Rep. Marcia
Fudge, an Ohio Democrat, urges President Barack Obama to consider
Jackson Lee for the position formerly held by Janet Napolitano, the
first woman to hold the position. Napolitano resigned earlier this month
to become president of the University of California.

“Representative Jackson Lee would serve as an effective DHS Secretary
because she understands the importance of increasing border security
and maintaining homeland security,” the nomination letter reads.

As I've said a thousand times, the GOP needs to learn a lesson from the
Dems, and stop resigning over sex scandals and stop destroying their own
over sex scandals.

It doesn't work that way. We don't have a sympathetic media to sound the horn 24/7, (or not), at our beck and call like the dems do.

Had this been a Republican, every liberal leaning talk show in this country would be tripping over themselves booking Filners victims. This story would headline major papers, it would be the lead story each night on the news, CNN, MSNBC, etc would cover this all day, every day. As the GZ story showed, (among others), they would make up facts, edit statements and video to push the idea of the Republican War On Women. They'd air previous 'transgressions' by other conservatives, they'd mock Romney's "Binders full of women", Akin's rape statements, etc, etc, etc.

If your putative Republican abuser refused to step down, that would be folded into the story. They'd scream louder, and they would eventually shame the man out of office.

We can not win by stealing plays from the Democrat's play book, as it's applicable to dems only.

224 It is high time the media is treated like they treated the catholic church with regards to the molestation controversy. Just as the catholic church knew of the issue and covered it up, so too does the media know about this from democrat politicians and cover it up. They did it with the kennedys, they did it with Clinton, did it with John Edwards. their actions in not investigating and in some cases outright covering it up ends up enabling these scum to continue their behavior and hurt more people. As the pastor states in Boondock saints, there is another evil of when good people do nothing to stop evil.
