I've always thought Franken was a dick so this doesn't come as a surprise for me.

Note how virtually no one is defending Franken here, as opposed to the BS filling the Moore threads.

The liberal media at CNN sure are going easy on Franken the way Fox and co. are on Moore.

Trump is easily worse than Moore, just based on what we actually know.
Did you mean Franken? I think Moore is more of a predator than Trump. Both are awful human beings but I still think Moore is the worse sexual predator, based on what we actually know.

I think the thing that makes Moore worse is that the girls are underage. Aside from that you're splitting hairs and they're both awful regardless.

The reason so many on both sides defend their own guy is that our society is SO sexist that the bad behavior is pervasive and accepted and as a result, it really doesn't rise to the level of behavior like other criminal behavior, or taboos.

Except that not too many people on the left are defending Franken, certainly not anywhere close to the number of people who defend Moore/Trump. So not "both sides".
