Let's get it straight, the whole story is a Con Job. Goal? to screw the media and lie.

Also, take the focus off of Moore, and get progressives fighting progressives..

It is that simple. Focus on someone else, anyone else who may have one similar mistake..(note one, and it is questionable) Then, as the media creates a "oh, everybody does this" routine..it settles down..

Here is the key part: convince the Alabama voters (and others) that, Yea, both parties are the samethen, those women in Alabama who were wavering on Moore, go back to him..(thinking, yes they are all the same) If 30 to 40 percent of the women who vote in Alabama who were thinking on voting against Moore, come back to him, then they have won and the it (the Moore problem) calms down.

The Alabama women say, Yea, they are all the same, we are Republicans, look at that Democrat, he is just as bad, let us stick with our guy."I am not voting for a Democrat." (and it is really aimed at all Republicans, yes ALL Republicans)

Now the media will treat them similar, even if it is obvious they are not..oh yes.That is what the media does. It tries to give equal treatment, (being fair) when it is NOT.. deserved.
These events are NOT "THE SAME,".. but if the media treats it the same, many non thinking people will think that they are."THE SAME"..... WHEN THEY ARE NOT....

..........................iT IS A FUCKING LIE THAT THAT THEY ARE THE SAME.....
...........................THESE EVENTS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT..
.............................. What Franken did is Not what Moore did.............

ok, here is an example that you can give to non thinking friends. There is a shooting at a bar, two guys are drunk, one pulls out a gun, shoots the floor, one shot, too drunk to know what is going on; the crowd in the bar knocks down the shooter and takes the gun, calls the police. No one is hurt, they take the drunk away. The bullet is stuck in the floor, one shot was fired..again no one hurt in any way

Compare to another shooting. Shooting in Las Vegas, Nut Job plans long in advance to kill as many people as he can. He wants to kill ..the rest is history,,550 injured, more than 50 dead. Incredible...

Yes, these two events are .....shootings...but they are not the same. In one event a drunk shot a bullet into the floor, no one hurt. In the other, a killer designed a way to kill and injure as many people as he could..
...........Pease use the above argument if it will help. It is easy to understand and quite obvious........ .

That is exactly what the Right Wing is trying to do in this case...con the media into treating the two politicians as the same,,,,, THESE EVENTS ARE NOT THE SAME... What Al Franken is accused of doing.is NOT THE SAME as what Moore did. That is bullshit. ...These events are not the same..

The media might be conned., But WE ARE NOT CONNED. pass this on..it is the truth..PLEASE USE THE EXAMPLE ABOVE..EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND IT...Franken is not Moore. What Franken did had no similarities to what Moore planned out and went after.. THESE EVENTS ARE NOT THE SAME., NO MATTER HOW THE MEDIA REPORTS IT..NOT THE SAME.....
................................... I am very angry. I am not the only one.. Please pass these ideas and the example on, if it will help in any way....and thank you for reading this....

Suddenly a guy who made an off color gesture, and kissed an of age woman a little too aggressively, is on the same level as someone like Moore.

And the guy making the gesture was a Comedian, while the one trolling 14 year old's at the mall, was the District Atty.

I have no doubt there will be more of these attacks in the coming months.
The GOP is losing. Their leader, Putin, has decided this will bring them back.

But some people do not know, or do not look. Many don't care, and they believe the lies.

All they have to do is look for a moment, or read for a moment, or listen for the truth.
and the truth is so obvious.

The rolling hills of Missouri are not the same..
As Mount Everest and other mountains in the Himalayan Mountain Range

or, Lake Superior..is not the same as the Pacific Ocean.
Yes, both have water, but they are not the same

Even if not knowing hurts or kills people...
Many people don't care, And that one idea, is very sad.indeed.
