Terkel's Huffington Post opinion: https://www.huffingtonpost.
My Comment: Clearly we, indeed, are in a
Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment of women moment. Joe Biden is NOT
Harvey Weinstein nor is he Donald Trump and certainly he is not smarmy
hypocrite Judge Moore. As is characteristic in this country of nearly
every political movement whether it is the protests of the late 1960's
or the Tea Party of contemporary time it is taken to an irrational
extreme thereby negating in it some good for which it stands.
I believe not only because I love Joe Biden but because he stands for progressive policies that are pro women and more with which I agree and because he is pure and simply a nice, humane and compassionate man.
If we have come to a place where innocent comments of a woman being pretty or innocent pecks on some woman's cheek by a man of power can be labeled sexual harassment then this nation is headed over a nihilist cliff where nothing or no one can be taken seriously.
It is a far cry from a man simply giving a woman a peck on the cheek or telling her she is pretty to the sickening sexual things Trump, Weinstein and religious wingnut Judge Moore have done. Joe Biden is NOT Donald Trump nor is he surely Judge hypocrite Moore.
Let's not take this to an extreme we as a nation do so often when movements form. We ruin them. Joe is Joe and Moore is Moore. Like Justice Potter Stewart said of pornography "I know it when I see it" I know what a sexual harasser of women is and Joe Biden unlike the sick harassers Trump and the religious hypocrite Moore, Joe Biden is not it!
