TRUMP DID NOT TALK CRUDELY ABOUT WOMEN ON THIS TAPE- HE TALKED ABOUT HIS RIGHT AS A CELEBRITY TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT WOMEN!!!<\/em>

YOUR CONFLATING THE TWO IS UNBELIEVABLE.\u00a0 \u00a0IF YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER ASK HER IF SHE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE.<\/em>

IN DOING SO YOU ENABLE MEN OUT THERE TO DO WHAT HE BRAGS ABOUT. HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THIS?<\/em>

OH YEH, BEING A REPUBLICAN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ENCOURAGING MEN TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT WOMEN.\u00a0 SEE HOW YOU FEEL IF YOU, YOUR DAUGHTER OR SISTER IS GRABBED BY THE GENITALIA\u00a0 AND SOMEONE SAYS WELL TRUMP SAYS ITS OK.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dear Angry Reader Feig,<\/p>\n

Spare me the bottled, adolescent capital-letter piety. The choice for now is between a repulsive-speaking Trump, the blowhard, and Clinton, who, to keep on your topic of sexual assault, chortled over her ability to get a child rapist off with a light sentence (a real, not a rhetorical victim), and who habitually denigrated women who were sexually assaulted by her husband, and whose campaign is being aided on stump by both Al Gore (the \u201ccrazed sex poodle\u201d accused of sexual assault in a motel room) and her husband, who was disbarred due to lying about just one of his serial sexual assaults.<\/p>\n

Both are flawed candidates, but the election hinges on which of their respective agendas are more likely to lead to greater security, legality and prosperity for most Americans. In that 51\/49% world, Trump\u2019s hypothetical agenda is preferable to Clinton\u2019s actual.<\/p>\n

Given your sanctimonious sermonizing, ‘how can you not see this\u2019? Hillary Clinton reportedly dreamed of \u201cdroning\u201d Julian Assange. In other words, the Secretary of States envisioned assassinating a figure she found dangerous to her campaign. If that is not morally repugnant enough for you, how dare you vote for someone who felt adjudicating contracts for Haitian relief depended on cash contributions (trafficking in lives for money)? I could go on, but you get the contrast from the hypothetical reprehensible in the subjunctive versus the actual past reprehensible in the indicative.<\/p>\n

In find your moral blinkers \u201cunbelievable\u201d.<\/p>\n

I do not habitually, as your wont, impugn the motives of those like you who will vote for a serial liar, extortionist, criminal, and hypocrite, given I assume that they feel her flaws do not detract enough from her progressive agenda which they favor; so, given the wart on your nose, do not slight the pimple on someone else\u2019s cheek. Finally, what makes you think I am a registered Republican?<\/p>\n

I would indeed warn my daughter about a probable sexual grabber like Donald Trump\u2014but especially a sexual assaulter like Al Gore, and a rapist like Bill Clinton\u2014and in particular a legal and emotional enabler of rape like Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n
