"As disgusting as Weinsteins behaviour is, it does not obligate anyone to comment on it" oberliner Oct 2017 #12

So who IS obligated to comment on it? Proud Liberal Dem Oct 2017 #20

I agree that the behavior should be called out whenever and wherever it occurs Proud Liberal Dem Oct 2017 #38

Many folks look up to Hillary Clinton oberliner Oct 2017 #43

She did make a statement. ehrnst Oct 2017 #56

Yes, exactly oberliner Oct 2017 #58

What exactly obligates HRC and the Obamas? ehrnst Oct 2017 #60

They are role models oberliner Oct 2017 #62

And Jimmy Carter isn't? ehrnst Oct 2017 #65

They are not in any office for crying out loud treestar Oct 2017 #67

Are you also waiting for Jimmy Carter to make a statement? Al Gore? John Kerry? ehrnst Oct 2017 #57

I support every prominent Democrat who has spoken out on this subject oberliner Oct 2017 #59

But are they "obligated" to? And if not, why the Obamas and HRC? (nt) ehrnst Oct 2017 #61

See my answer above oberliner Oct 2017 #63

But that doesn't explain why you think others like Carter, Gore, etc. ehrnst Oct 2017 #64

I think the word "obligated" is too strong LiberalLovinLug Oct 2017 #73

Then wouldn't that apply to Tom Perez, Bernie Sanders and Ben Ray Lujan ehrnst Oct 2017 #74

Have you taken to task every seated politician for not condemning Weinstein? That aside.... George II Oct 2017 #42

Harvey Weinstein is our side's responsibility oberliner Oct 2017 #90

Like hell he is. I'm sorry, but there is simply no connection. kcr Oct 2017 #92

There is no greater responsibility for the Democratic Party oberliner Oct 2017 #93

It's your definition of responsibility that's the issue. kcr Oct 2017 #94

Our side should be speaking out against the exploitation of women every day oberliner Oct 2017 #97

Strawman alert. No one is saying they shouldn't. kcr Oct 2017 #98

"no greater responsibility than to address the systemic oppression of women" ehrnst Oct 2017 #96

"Our side" is tasked with eradicating what men in great power do to get sex? This year? ehrnst Oct 2017 #95
