Yes, she considers a show helmed by a man who dismissed rape claims against Julian Assange as an appropriate venue to whine about Democrats victim blaming.
Also worth pointing out that Galloway, as he did in 2016, endorsed Trump over the Democratic candidate, calling him less dangerous.
Sure is funny that the one accuser these Russian accessories could pull from the bushes happened to be one with a history of writing glowingly about Vladimir Putin, isnt it?

Good point about Assange.. they couldn't care less about his accusers.
Yeah, it's like it's full circle now.. with Reade's deleted tweets praising Russia and Putin(I think they're all deleted).. and her go to interviewer, Halper, going on RT to Gaslight about Democrats.
I remember the name Galloway from a long time ago.. didn't seem like he would endorses a perverted idiot bent on killing the world like trump, though. Ah except he's all in for Russia now.. so that makes sense.

Why was George Galloway expelled?
George Galloway. ... In 2003, Galloway was expelled from the Labour Party for bringing the party into disrepute, including having called on Arabs to fight British troops. In 2004, he became a member of RespectThe Unity Coalition, later known as the Respect Party, becoming party leader by late 2013.

Asking question in the face of obvious contradictions and countless changes to the charges is not victim and rape shaming. It's a despicable attempt to prevent any form of inquiry, not only because it deprives the accused side to defend itself but also because actual victim shaming is a real thing and a horrible experience for too many victims. She should be ashamed and there could be lasting repercussions for actual victims because of her actions.
It's her and the likes of Christine O'Donnell and her niece Eva Murry who are the enemies of real victims. I wished that at least obvious liars like Eva Murry could be charged.

(490 posts)Not only are they exponentially increasing the change of that orange moron greasing his way to re-election, but they do long term damage to the idea that allegations are to be listened to and taken seriously.
So you get the GOP rolling back every bit of progress that they can get their hands on (and woah boy, will they be rolling plenty of stuff back with the new-look Supreme Court left sitting after a second term of the cretinous tangerine) and considerable damage done to the voracity of all sexual assault claims. What a fucking mess.

(10,244 posts)the Democratic coalition, particularly in today's political climate, an accusation of sexual abuse against a powerful male figure on the left would be most effective. No other type of charge sets off as much divisive internal squabbling among the various factions on the left.
Using sexual abuse as a political wedge issue is so effective precisely because those on the left care so much about the issue, and those on the right do not. It's an issue that can be cynically used against the left, with no political blowback on the right for doing so.
It's really unfortunate that the seriousness of sexual abuse and the veracity of the majority of women bringing such charges are now being debated and questioned as a result of a handful of suspiciously politically motivated accusations. I imagine there's quite a celebration going on right now in Republican circles.
