Burying The Lede in an Update: New Chair of San Diego Democrats Said They Looked at Filner's 30 Year History In Supporting Progressive Issues In Deciding to Give Him a Pass
The Democrat Party admits it. But try getting the media to share this level of candor.Busby responded to tell me that party leaders looked at Filner’s 30-year record of advocating for progressive causes when evaluating him as a candidate for mayor.So what's a little War on Women between ideological friends? They say these allegations did not "rise above a rumor," which is false-- the deputy mayor of Escondido stated on the record (and went to former head of the party Jess Durfee) that Filner had rudely propositioned her at a professional political event. This, in turn, lends credence to the other "rumors," which, at this time, consisted of eight different women accusing him, albeit anonymously. And how deep was their investigation into these charges? Well, very deep. They busted out the old Dragnet. By which I mean they asked Filner himself about them:
Former Democratic Party Chairman Jess Durfee confirmed to U-T San Diego that Saldańa complained to him about Filner’s conduct. “He assured me there was nothing to be concerned about,” Durfee told the U-T.Oh well there you go. Carry on then.
Thanks to @starchambermaid. Donzo: I'm done with the Filner story. I did what I could. No one's interested. Fine.

The stuff that's coming out makes me think there have been a few rapes in there.
it's a good question, I'm not sure. On one hand, Filner has an MO. There's no reason to think he went further to this.
Also, as far as Gaming Expectations, I don't want to suggest he raped someone, because then if he didn't, Democrats say "Oh all he did was grab a few tits."
On the other hand: Bob Filner does not seem to be the sort of man to get all weak-kneed and deferential in the face of sexual discouragement.

I can't even get upset about this anymore. Each and every one of knows that when it comes to male Democrat politicians, they can do whatever they want to women - even cause their deaths - and it's OK.
The MSM, LIV's, DNC, you name it, essentially canonize these men for their behavior, not in spite of it. They roll out all these pathetic excuses or try to destroy the accusers, time and time again. Once it's all taken care of, then these men become greater than they were because they "weathered" these accusations or as stated here, they are good Democrats. Here it is at the mayoral level, but we've all seen it at the gubernatorial level, Congressional level and Presidential level. If it's committed and excused at the Presidential level, what makes anyone think that this Filner story is going to wake anyone up?
Don't get me wrong, all of it is repugnant. There is no excuse for this behavior whatsoever and anyone in position to take actionwho defends it (or ignores it) is an accessory as far as I'm concerned.

You'd think I would deal with all this shit better than I do, but despite the ferocity and sheer volume of the scandals, I have yet to reach that "fuck it" point. In fact, I don't think I want to.

2. Why was this guy so all-important that his crimes were covered up by the DNC and the big shots?
3. If he wasn't that important, then can we assume this is their policy on ALL sexual harassers? (I think this is where you are going with this.)
4. We now have Weiner, Filner, Spitzer, Frank, Clinton (Bill), the late Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, and probably more I can't think of. Is the DNC a known haven for sexual addicts and perverts?
I think this is important. Another thing I would like to find out is how many girlfriends of Filner or others from the dem side of the aisle were forced into abortions. I do not doubt for one minute this happened and is why so many dem men are so adamant in their support of "choice."

2. Filner was only one of many, on both sides of the aisle.

Asking why the GOP doesn't exploit these outrageous scandals isn't 'blaming the Republicans'. I ask myself the same question whenever I see footage of the ruins of Detroit or the dustbowl of California's Central Valley or think about Benghazi or Fast and Furious or Solyndra or IRS targeting. Instead, the GOP Establishment spends all its time, energy, and political capitalpromoting 'bipartisan' immigration policies designed to depopulate Mexico and introduce an influx of millions of foreigners for the sake of cheap labor--that is, when they're not railing against the 'Tea Party extremism' of the base. Many of them, like McCain, are probably secretly conflicted over whether or not to support Hillary in 2016.
GOP leadership won't fight. They no longer believe. They've become just like the wishy-washy, go-along and get-along Whigs who preceded them.

The republicans are allowing the democrats to bully them on all fronts. They are cowering like a bunch of pussies. And the conservative media is doing the same.
Every single time the republicans allow the democrats a pass, it just adds to the pile of sh t they are under. Ultimately they won't be able to climb out of the pile, they'll become part of it.
In case you haven't noticed, the republican party is nearing the "put a fork in it, it's done stage" but hey, don't let me deter you from believing in unicorns and fairy tales, it's still a free country, thank God.

Myself, I favor tar-and-feathering and running him out of town on a rail, but I'll settle with seeing him out.
The public employees spent $2 million getting him elected so they'll never stop defending their investment. They expected a huge return on their investment... in the form of everything they can take from the taxpayers.

Righties sit on their hands and whine about the MSM, but they never do anything about it.

I dunno. As conspiratorial as it sounds, I'm thinking the big story here is the silencing of the conservative press (such as it is), and perhaps selected members of the GOP political class. Bear with me here: it was only recently discovered that James Rosen was being surveilled. It was also only recently discovered that the NSA (and FBI and DEA et al) have been screening targeted email headers and datamining citizens with only the barest of judicial oversight. And what about Justice Roberts' convoluted 'Obamacare as tax' decision? It was as if Roberts was desperately seeking a way to constitutionally justify that piece of shit. He fairly tortured legality out of it.
Maybe the people who decide what stories to cover have been suborned. A lot of people may have been suborned. The people responsible for Fast and Furious don't seem like the sort who would hesitate to use a treasure trove of opposition information to their advantage.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to finish folding my tinfoil hat. It needs to fit just right. You know, to keep out the radio waves.

another angle is to find out the payoffs from campaign funds. happens all the time and that creepy perv probably had to payoff quietly more than once (and move staff around DC to shut them up). sickening really. I'm thinking back to 2006 and the screechy MM doing the work for the dems on that "culture of corruption".

sorry to see you hanging up the story.

Don't hang it up, Ace. Why not get this clown's political history out, so that people like me (and others) are aware that he isn't simply a big frog in the San Diego puddle.

Long time lurker and afraid to say anything, but--
How about Menendez and his various questionableactions that somehow disappeared as well? Influence-peddling his committee chair for port deals somehow magically disappeared in the noise of his sex trips. Ace is and should be following the money and influence becausethe poor women are just noise covering up something else.

>>"Righties sit on their hands and whine about the MSM, but they never do anything about it."
>>"What does one do about it?"
1. Denigrate and mock the MSM at every opportunity. I do, with friends and associates. I do it in a number of ways, e.g., when a current story is cited by someone I'll ask "do you really believe that? You understand the unreliability of the media, don't you?" I don't necessarily or always mention "bias," but rather, "unreliability," "unprofessionalism," "shallowness", etc.
2. Cancel subscriptions, cancel cable -- if applicable. I have no MSM in my life anymore in any form (only what I see or read as referenced by different blogs).
3. Call or email MSM outlets when they commit outrageous bias of commission or omission. Threaten to stop watching them even if you already have.
4. Complain when you see CNN or MSNBC feeds in public places. I complained to my bank about MSNBC being broadcast over their multiple video screens (can you believe it?). They stopped and now run bank promos (I think other people complained as well so can't take total credit).
Probably other ways to fight, too.

"Citing media reports that the Ohio Republican and reality tv star played golf together Tuesday in New Jersey, the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee sent out a memo to reporters slamming
the oddly-hued pair.
The committee referenced Trump’s multiple flirtation with running for
president and his “birther” claims that President Obama was not
actually born in the United States."http://tinyurl.com/lvmpwpc
Whoever I was speaking with about the republicans being pussies. Here you go, an innocent golf game with trump and boner and they're all over it. The republicans haven't said a word about the president's private dinner with the hollywood guy. Why? Why aren't they all over it? these are the questions that need answering if the republicans hope to remain a party let alone win elections. They trivialize the tea party and people who admire the t party, (hint, regular voters), they attack their own, yet, when it comes to actually fighting the dems, they cower in the corner. The trivialized have long memories. They sit home on election day.

The means justify them when you're a Leftist.
