WTF who cares...she rejected him when he tried to kiss her.

If men ever brought stories like this up they would be ridiculed and laughed at.

Jennings

Some friends and I were ABC drivers during the 1988 Republican convention in N.O. Jennings was a rascal. He had a young good looking lady driver. We all took bets when he would make a pass at her. It took him the whole convention until the after party. Somehow he got her in his hotel room and came out in his underwear, she ran out of the room (what she said). Hell the bastard made a pass at the girl I took to the after party.

I don't even get how the metoo women can be supportive of this story. This isn't sexual assault and will only dilute the metoo message.


Their support of extremely exaggerated, and sometimes blatantly false, allegations will the downfall of the movement.

It completely takes away from the actual victims of sexual assault and harassment and only serves to numb the public to these claims.

Its a big case of crying wolf ruining their cause.

It's pretty much the hallmark of hashtag movements in general.

former NBC News anchor Linda Vester describes an incident where Brokaw invited himself over to her hotel room in 1994 after she repeatedly tried to convince him otherwise.

Never gonna get a hit if you don’t take the bat off your shoulder. He sounds a little creepy and persistent in the description, but criminal? How do they think people hook up? Has no one ever been shot down? Every girl I ever “leaned in on” and tried to kiss or every girl I ever was mutually kissing and I try to escalate things and am shot down? That make me a predator?

If I persist? Then yeah. We are getting into some raper and sexual battery territory. But a kiss that is turned away or kissing and I try to kick it up a notch? If I get up and leave like a gentleman or stop like as much of a gentleman as can be mustered with an erection?

You're so full of shite.

You know good and well your side's whole aim is to discredit and bury people they disagree with.

Don't like a speaker on campus? Protest!
Don't like Trump? Protest!
Don't like the NRA? Protest!
Don't like the election results? Protest!
Don't like guns? Protest!

FULL

I generally consider people that protest everything to be retarded.

But it appears you are saying that since "the other side" does it, you should do it too, although you consider yourself morally superior to "the other side"?

So who is full of shite?

The dude tried to kiss a girl and then when she rebuffed him he backed off. Society is doomed.

Will there ever be a better trio than Rather, Jennings and Brokaw?
A Hick, A Canuck, and (apparently a bit of a) Dick?

And Chancellor and Walter by themselves were better than those three. Huntley & Brinkley didn’t even have to come out of the bullpen.

(Leftists and/or liberals all, that’s understood)
