Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
You have accused the Mayor of rape, and all male politicians of joining in. Mr. Bauder is accused of acting as lookout. I nominate you for the hysterical overreach prize on this blog. This type of rape cry does not further the cause of woman's rights. None of Bob Filner's critics, and few anywhere, have worked as hard and effectively for woman's rights.— August 9, 2013 12:57 p.m.
Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
The suggestion, as has been made, that one shouldn't ask victims of rape for dates because rape has damaged them, is wrong and offensive. There is no sex in this sex scandal. Make an argument, don't just list people who agree with you. You can fool all of the people some of the time, that time is now.— August 8, 2013 3:17 p.m.
Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
Behavior that offends is offensive behavior, I'll take their word for it, Filner takes their word for it. But the behavior reported was not intended to offend, it wasn't malicious. Asking women for dates over many years, may have offended some, and the technique might be poor, but that's what we call being a single male. Many men just ask women to go home with them in the clubs I frequent. Online, many just hook up with people they don't know, and sometimes don't want to know. There's some very cute baby pictures from one such hook up, no I won't link.— August 7, 2013 7:48 p.m.
Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
Using an incident to prove a general case is suspect, using a general case to prove an incident is flat wrong. Bob Filner deserves a fair hearing. Filner fought all his career for women's rights, and if the cabal that seeks to depose him wins, his crew of mostly women will be fired and replaced by fat old men. Let these women tell their story before we fire them.— August 7, 2013 5:05 p.m.
Mayor Filner's lawyer wants sexual harassment case moved to Imperial County
I agree that the media firestorm makes it difficult for him to get a fair trail. Both plaintiff's attorneys might well be ruining their case by engaging in deliberate jury tampering. A judge might toss out the whole suit for that reason.— August 7, 2013 12:42 p.m.
Mayor Filner's lawyer wants sexual harassment case moved to Imperial County
His choices were Imperial or Orange Counties.— August 7, 2013 12:34 p.m.
Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
The truth is a patient enemy, and steadfast friend.— August 7, 2013 12:14 p.m.
Mayor Filner's lawyer wants sexual harassment case moved to Imperial County
This worthless lawsuit is an excuse to open up the Mayor's sex life to scrutiny. The deposition is out of the Ken Starr smear playbook. They hope to manufacture a perjury charge by trawling for barely relevant salacious information on Filner's love life. Choosing Imperial County over Orange County is a smart move by Filner's team, his pursuers will choke in the dust in their off hours rather than visit Disneyland with the kids.— August 7, 2013 10:44 a.m.
Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
Filner has been careful to avoid the unwanted place and unwanted way, his approach almost seems lawyerly. If they tried arrest on pure bunk it could backfire.— August 7, 2013 8:18 a.m.
Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
Bob Filner might become an international media star. Few knew his name two months ago, cameras will follow him now wherever he goes. Monster or hero, Richard iii or Henry V, he is now center stage, if he gets his act together, he will have a megaphone louder than all the local media combined. People go to the horror show to see the monster, but if they look at this monster long enough, they will see a decent human being, whose principal offense is acting like a man, which sometimes means acting stupidly. What he is accused of is so human, so natural. We were made to touch and be touched. He was clumsy but meant no harm. His attackers intend to do him cold hearted evil. I don't think any of them consider the possibility that the media mob they gathered for this lynching might see through their plot and turn on them. If we get the word out, this can happen.— August 7, 2013 1:18 a.m.
