Time and time again in history a Journalist, Activist Or Politician has capitalized on the sexual assault, be it real or otherwise.
One of the most famous which comes to mind is the case of Tawny Brawly. This is one of those cases that had six men in the hot seat and judging from the crime it was fitting. This young Black Girl had disappeared for a few days, only to be found covered in dog feces with racial slurs written on her. She claimed she had been raped by several white men, one wearing a badge.
She did not cooperate with Prosecutors however and a man named Al Sharpton would step in. With news mics stuffed in his face and fingers pointing he would proclaim the worst. The terrible incident would of make it to trial where as it turns out the story was completely made up. The lies took over emotions.
Which brings us to today.
All over the news is the usual American Witch Hunt, facts be damned Johnny is accused by Lucy and must be hung. What if he is not guilty and this is just another Tawny Brawly story? What if we just took a breath, waited for evidence and let police and prosecutors do their job?
IF we look at Judge Roy Moore and the accusations against him they are as terrible as they get "Pervert man raped a young girl" Indeed, if it is true he should be locked up where he belong. Certainly we do not want a Predator making laws. It seems like he is guilty enough as women come out of the woodwork to point fingers and tell their story, makeup running down their face we judge in horror. But there is no Trial and Politically we have went through this before, with only the Second President in the US history to be impeached, President Bill Clinton.
Now I will admit I was someone who wanted to see Bill Locked up, Accuser after Accuser stepped forward with allegations against Bill.
Republicans stood steadfast and insisted on family values and the pervert must be removed. The country was at a standstill for months, glued to their screens and dragged through the mud over Sexual Allegations which turned out not to be true. One of the accusing women would even go on to pose for Penthouse, so traumatized she was. Nevertheless when it was all over a President was found Guilty of Obstruction of Justice and a young innocent 18 year old girl named Monica had been accosted. Except she had not, she was willing and had romped with a willing horn dog male.
My point is this, while I personally think he took advantage of his position and maybe manipulated her, it was no reason on earth to Drag the Country through the mud. Why? Well fuck me sideways sally, it is politics, where dirt, any dirt is used to destroy someone. It also belies the fact that women, like men have hormones too!
Which brings us back to Roy. It sure sounds like he is guilty as hell, but that is what it is supposed to sound like isnt it? Roy just won a unlikely runoff against a Trump Supported Luther Strange. There is every reason to make sure Roy is kicked from the race and likely you will see Strange as a write in candidate. SO you say, why on earth would you stand by this Scumbag against these allegations? Again, these are only at this time allegations, while they sound damning and I think Roy is a fucking moron nutbag in general not capable of swamping your kitchen properly, he like everyone deserves the American foundation of the presumption of innocence. This is something which makes the US unique but is far too often tossed aside in our finger pointing and our hate. IF we also look at the timing of the accusations it begins to get pretty suspect.
The allegations of Sexual Misconduct are going to the other side with Senator Al Frankin. This case again seems pretty damning as on the news we see a picture of a smiling Frankin reaching out and grabbing a sleeping woman's tits. Frankin comes out with an immediate statement saying "I do not remember the skit happening like that, but my apologies" Now hold on a minute, what did he just say?
Words matter and the word skit came into play.
With a Leanne's name stuck in my head and I cannot remember why I use a quick search for a reminder.
Here we have a woman who's career started at Hooters, clearly she never wanted men to oogle or touch her. Then it goes on to lingerie modeling and Playboy. SHe goes on the Manshow, because you know purity and innocence goes on a TV show where men exploit everything. Then it really comes out, she was a political Pundit on Fox News.
Ohhh the dots start to come together.
As it turns out Frankin's word "Skit" meant something more than anyone bothered to think. They were on a USO tour back when Frankin was still just comedian. There on stage he held up a laced thong with a smiling tweeden. I had seen enough.
To make this accusation even more damning it is likely that Tweeden has just signed to work with Steve Bannons Nazi Media/Entertainment Sinclair Network.
Odds of this Photo being anything to get excited over are exactly zero at this point.
No her being a sexual Icon does not give any man the right to accost her, but it does cast doubt.
IF anything her accusations will make it all the more difficult for legitimate women down the road to have their case heard.
Words matter, actions matter and allowing the law to do its job matters even more.
