What Franken did was like "shoplifting" What Trump and Moore did "was holding up a bank with guns."

Yes, shoplifting is indeed a crime. There is a penalty. It is quite minor.
Holding up a bank with automatic machine guns, is also a crime, but a major one.

I heard on this comparison on the radio today by Thom Hartmann.

The police handle the two crimes totally different. We know that. Even the owners of the store, do not handle this like an armed bank robbery. But some Democratic leaders are handling the shoplifting crime, as if it were a bank robbery, where there was a shoot out and people killed.

Republican leaders are handling Moore and Trump as if nothing happened. There was no bank robbery, there was no assault, all are lies from people who want to make trouble... No one was hurt, and in fact, nothing happened. All are lies made up by evil newspapers and left wingers.

You think about that for a while. And Thom was correct. This is the way it is..And we are destroying one of our best, over a shoplifting. They will not touch their worst, over an armed robbery of a bank, where several were seriously injured and killed. Yes, You think about that for a while.
