Alert, Harrell, ALERT! More #WarOnWomen by yet another mysognist Repu…Oh wait!

Listen Harrell – for we are listing to you, too (even when you aren’t speaking up – you too, Zandra Rice-Hawkins, as the two of you are serial Republican accusers on very little to go on)!  Yeah, I almost made a mistake by mis-identifying the Party affiliation of the Mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner (DEMOCRAT).  His problem?  Well, even more serious than Obama refusing to pay his female staffers – Sexual Harrassement. So, you Harrell (and you too, Zandra) MUST have professional Press Release all ready  Oh, you say that nothing has gone to court or been adjudicated yet, Harrell?  What about that shopworn Democrat attack phrase “It’s the seriousness of the charge” in which the meaning is – “the Republican can actually be innocent but we have to haul his (or her) butt into court – not to find the truth but for the humiliation and bankrupting him”.  So how unbalanced is the New Hampshire Democrat Party in speaking about this elected official abusing women under his responsibility?  C’mon, Harrel – here’s some details.

Bob FilnerThe week began with news that Mayor Bob Filner’s fiancee ended their engagement and, by Friday, San Diego’s first Democratic leader in 20 years was desperately trying to stay in office amid sexual harassment allegations made public by some of his closest supporters. He apologized, promised to change and begged voters to let him keep his job.

The rapid-fire developments put heavy scrutiny on the personal foibles of Filner, a feisty liberal who was elected in November after 10 terms in Congress marked perhaps most famously by a 2007 run-in with a United Airlines baggage handler at Dulles International Airport that resulted in him pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of trespassing. Filner has long had a reputation for berating employees and been dogged by rumors of making sexual advances on women, but nothing stuck like a former city councilwoman’s comments this week that she had firsthand accounts from more than one woman who was sexually harassed by the mayor.

Donna Frye, who worked briefly for the mayor as his director of open government, didn’t provide any specifics at an emotional news conference Thursday, like the nature of the alleged abuse, when it occurred and how often. But she demanded Filner resign, saying, “There is no doubt in my mind that these allegations are true.”

Filner, 70, didn’t address specifics of his behavior either in an extraordinary video he released hours later that made clear he knew his career was gravely threatened, saying, “I need help.”

At 70, that would be a dirty old man.  And with the reporting, it looks like he’s hit on lots of women over the years.  Harrell, I KNOW that the NH Democrat Party is against this kind of behavior (after all, you call out Republicans with ease for FAR less than this serial woman hater has done); what IS the official position?  You know how to reach me – I’ll save you the effort of doing a full blown presser; just send it to me @ Skip@GraniteGrok.com.  I’ll even post it and get the word out for you – after all, the ‘Grok is watched, followed, and tracked by most of the Democrat Party (including you,  just WAITING to pounce).  That would include Mario Piscatella (he’ll keep Maggie informed).  Anyways, here’s a bit of bypartisanship evident:

“I am confident that a fair and independent investigation will support my innocence with respect to any charges of sexual harassment,” Filner said.

Yeah, Dems and Repubs all say that when caught – but how “innocent” can Filner be when he’s already said “I need help.”?

Crotty, who has known Filner more than 20 years, said Filner repeatedly wins elections because he delivers services that matter to constituents, like retirement benefits for a large population of Filipino veterans of World War II in his district.

Right – character doesn’t seem to matter as other peoples tax money is brought home as bacon (although I will admit that the vet would be one issue I would not argue about).  Democrat Wiener in NYC and running to be NYC Mayor sends his privates to women (and lies about it) and Democrat Spitzer who had to resign during his public service for being privately serviced – not exactly paragons of virtue (but of a sexual vice?) are running – why isn’t the Dem Party saying “no thank you?” like the Patriots say “get lost” to Hernandez?” (and yes, the Republican Party should have done the same thing to Sanford in electing him to Congress).  All three broke a trust shouldn’t have been broken.

Should Filner be given some slack merely due to his contriteness and that really pained look on his face.  With Democrats (people as well as policy), isn’t the INTENT the most important thing in life (forget about motives and actual results though)? And if so, would you have done so if he had an R next to his na….what am THINKING!  After all, you cut Andy Sanborn no slack at all, right?  Isn’t that just a tad…hypocritical?  Even for a paid political hack?

C’Mon Harrell – time is money and your nickel is holding up a dollar!
