Men, if you respect women, you'd damn well better be pissed right the fuck off.

[Stinky The Clown]

On the one side we have DonaldTrumpRudyGuilianiNewtGingrichBillClintonAnthonyWeiner.

On the other side we have . . . . . Hillary Clinton

One of these people is a victim.

The best of the others is a bad boy; the worst a sexual predator.

But it is much, Much, MUCH bigger than this. It is the systemic disrespect of something more than half of our fellow citizens. Men, it is about the women in your lives. The women you know and love.

Ginger Rogers said she had to do what Fred did, but she had to do it backwards. And in heels.

Now that a woman is at the brink of assuming the American Presidency, we find her hounded by another man - James Comey - for the actions of another man. Did I say man? No. Creep. Pervert. Child predator.

But a MAN stands before the media and infers somehow links between that child predator and the woman standing on the brink of the presidency because that creep was married to the candidate's top aid.

Hillary Clinton is being dragged through the mud as a result of the FBI doing their forensics on the cell phone of a man who is a creep and likely sexual predator and pedophile.

What

The

Fuck

???

HOW DARE THEY DO THIS?

To a woman who has been investigated endlessly for years, for decades.

All these paragons of maleness. Ganging up on a woman.

This is so incredibly unfair.

How can this not be worse than some creep stealing into her bedroom and tossing her underwear drawer? And sniffing? (I'm looking at YOU, Ken Star.)

I am outraged. And you should be too. Not so much for the politics of it all, but for the misogyny.

Instead, it is about the DISRESPECT for women - all women - this sorry episode conveys.

1. Yes! This is a further dishonest attempt to negatively affect Clinton's candidacy.

[sarae]

2. Well said.

I'm so fucking tired of Republicans, Trump, this election year and the constant and unrelenting disrespect shown to all women and people of color.

Every time someone attacks Hillary for some new petty bullshit reason (in essence, because she has a vagina), it feels like they're attacking all women. Every time someone attacks Obama for trivial nonsense (in essence, because he's black), it feels like they're attacking all minorities. It needs to stop.

[Cha]

24. Very Well Said.. Articulated my feelings of all this

coming at us so fast and furiously.

[sarae]

25. Thank you Cha!

[Generic Other]

4. Standing ovation

I now know how our suffragist grandmothers and great-grandmothers must have felt when they were shooed back into the kitchen, how our mothers felt when they took their factory jobs away after WW2, how our older sisters felt when they were told "Only men need apply," how our daughters feel being offered less pay for the same work.

Thank you for taking the time to share this righteous rant on DU.

[elmac]

5. Been pissed off about this all night

watching reruns of Adam 12 to calm me down

[Jim Beard]

6. I understand, same here.

[Laser102]

7. Thank you Stinky The Clown. I doubt there is anything that will change my vote. I'm with her.

[mountain grammy]

8. You had me at "on the other side we have... Hillary Clinton."

The rest is pure music. Sing it, Stinky!

[Stinky The Clown]

10. I've been sitting here with Sparkly watching this story on TV. I'm getting angrier and angrier.

Remarkably, I am less angry at Comey than I am at the men directly and peripherally involved in this.

Weiner - The absolute worst of the lot. A serial internet flasher veering toward molestation and pedophilia. Creep is a good if inadequate descriptor.

Trump - Next worst. Sorry Donald, you're just second. A serial molester and world class disrespecter of women with a penchant for trading in wives who begin to show signs of aging naturally.

Giuliani & Gingrich - Trump attack dogs toward HRC. I'm having a hard time with these two, so I'll call them a tie. Multiple marriages. Absolutely awful treatment of the wives they ditched. A clear ongoing penchant for diminishing the women around them.

Bill Clinton - I can't make any excuses for his behavior when he was a younger man. He was a total shit to have disrespected his wife as he did. He's REALLY lucky Ms. Lewinski was over the age of majority; the whole episode defines the word icky. But at the end of the tale the truths that emerge are that he loves her and was willing to do what it took to repair the damage he did.

15. I copied your op to post to facebook

but want to ask your permission first.

I was at a party tonight ranting about this. Later told two people I know they're stupid to vote for Trump and justifying it by saying Hillary shamed the women Bill cheated with. It's so fucking stupid I really want to poke them in the eye, but maintaining control.

I'm afraid I'm losing it, but still want to post your op.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Feel free

[mountain grammy]

18. Thanks

[Warren DeMontague]

9. I think the most this nothingburger produces is a backlash against Comey.

It's given the media something to hyperventilate over all day, but there's no there there. Except that the timing stinks.

[Monk06]

12. Comey knows he's toast after Nov and is trying to boost his ticket price Fucking creep

[SunSeeker]

11. I'm right there with you. I just donated $75 to Hillary's campaign tonight.

[murielm99]

13. The mood of the country turned

when that audio of Trump came out, talking about grabbing women by the pussy.

I know all of us are angry over this blatant attempt to influence the election. I hope everyone, not just Democrats, sees through this and sees red over it. GOTV, people. Get mad, but Get Out the Vote.

[pnwmom]

14. You got it. And in this witch hunt, the FBI rules manual

and every other accepted standard gets tossed out the window.

All's fair when it comes to attacking the first woman with a chance at the Presidency.

[spanone]

16. A Stinky K&R....

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. We're with ya!

[brett_jv]

20. Count me in ... another male who is FUCKING OUTRAGED at this BULLSHIT ...

And I'm with you 1000% ...

[smirkymonkey]

21. +1000

[niyad]

22. k and r!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

23. Every time I think

that I cannot be more disgusted by tRump and his lackeys, I am (sadly) proven wrong. Two more weeks of this shit may drive me crazy, and I am avoiding TV and coming here for news exclusively

[Dr.Jones]

26. Let's not jump to conclusions here...

Sexual predator and pedophile? You're starting to sound like Republicans when they describe homosexuals and transsexuals. We're better than that...

[Stinky The Clown]

29. Weiner+Junk Sexting+15 year old=predator and pedophile

Welcome to DU

[Iggo]

28. Been pissed off since 1970...

...-ish.

[LaydeeBug]

30. This would make a great meme. nt

(I don't know how to make them)

[JoeOtterbein]

31. Pervert Trump !

Thanks for calling like it is!

[Ilsa]

32. Michelle Malkin wrote another slimy op ed about Hillary

being hateful because she verbally went after Gennifer Flowers for screwing her husband. I'm still waiting for MM to explain why the wife should be supportive of the other woman. I'm also waiting for MM to find out what it feels liketo have other women chasing her husband, but I suspect MM's husband is no prize, either.

[Wounded Bear]

33. Hillary Clinton is not a victim...

she's a survivor.

[Egnever]

34. Thank you

[Wounded Bear]

36. I've seen some shit in this world...

nothing to what our future president has seen, of course, but bullies will tend to out themselves eventually. I consider it a vote for all of the women I know, including my daughter.

Trump is deserving of no respect and definitely no support.

[Stinky The Clown]
