Does anybody else see the irony ?

Does anybody else see the irony of "liberal" Hollywood and the news/entertainment industry coming down harder on those accused of sexual misconduct than the so called family values party ? It seems the latter's concern is only power.

1. That isn't irony

It's hypocrisy.

[Polly Hennessey]

2. Yes.

Seems our side actually has some ethics and accepts responsibility. Let us hope this bodes well for our future.

6. Well, at least one side responds to popular demand.

Isn't that how representative government is supposed to work ?

[Siwsan]

3. Yes

It is hard to watch some of these 'Titans' being toppled but I much prefer shining the bright light of accountability on them, instead of turning a blind eye and deflecting.

History has shown that powerful individuals can get carried away with their feelings of entitlement, and do a lot of damage to people in their wake. It's good that we are finally in a time where the people they victimize can find support, and the abuser can learn the cost of their behavior.

Now if we can just apply that justice to the Violator-in-Chief.

4. the party of 'bwahahahaaa family values' wants tax cuts and will sell their daughters for it

5. Matt Lauer is no liberal/progressive nt

7. Republicans enter a state of denial and spew blame at the victim

Democrats take immediate action, offer sympathy/concern for the accused, and trust/support for victims.
A very clear line is forming that dissolves all the "false equivalency" bullshit.
