Who's investigating Filner? It's who's NOT investigating him
Who is paying Allred's retainer? She keeps asking for a resignation that would only make it more difficult for Filner to pay her clients. Who gives Jackson the deep pockets? Why is the political vendetta the central relief sought? Is this being financed by the City's money, to be paid in the form of a fraudulent tort settlement to a worthless claim?— August 6, 2013 5:03 p.m.

Filner imbroglio is all about greed
Your posts certainly show all a thinking person needs to prove both quoted charges. If you can't see a media mob stoked to angry frenzy, it's because you're in the mob looking out. Pause to think and you will be trampled like Marti Emerald..— August 6, 2013 9:42 a.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
If Mr'. Filner deliberately touched certain areas of the body just once deliberately, it would be sexual battery, a serious crime. My support for him would then disappear. No one so far has accused him of battery, or any crime, believe me, they would if they could. Comparing a tort, sexual harassment, to a crime as you do is Foxed up. Yes, sexual harassment can be one incident if shocking enough, but nothing described comes close, that's why only one suit has been filed, alleging multiple incidents, but lacking the sex acts normal in sexual harassment. In fact the case could be filed as simple personal harassment, but that wouldn't destroy Filner's career, and that is the whole reason the suit was filed. It's not done for the money.— August 6, 2013 2:25 a.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
Filner does change his behavior, only one complaint is of repeated advances. All of the sleaze supposedly supporting the plaintiff actually does the opposite, he seems to take a hint after the first approach, unlike Jackson's central complaint, of persistent unwanted advances.— August 5, 2013 2:09 p.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
Printed gossip blames Filner for his breakup with his fiancee', blaming infidelity. Gloria Allred claimed he was using other women. Jackson saw inappropriate touching, allegedly.— August 4, 2013 8:09 p.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
Bob Filner's sex life is not the battlefield we would choose, but remember they're fighting there because they've been defeated on the issues, because arguments like the one quoted above were defeated in the polls. Right now the local media and money are doing a good job at thought control, but it's easy to get the public's mind off the issues to think about sex. Remember the money interests aren't winning any real arguments with this circus, they're just pickpockets working the crowd. Not long ago the hucksters were center ring, with dogs and ponies dancing around their proposals to loot the general fund. Now we're fighting to return money previously looted to that fund. We fight here because we won before, win or lose now, we will win again, if we keep fighting.— August 4, 2013 11:58 a.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
Be open to the possibility that Filner did not sexually harass. Plaintiff has presented a poor case so far. But even if he were a murderer, the media lynching is an outrage.— August 3, 2013 4:09 p.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
If the recall is on a specially scheduled election, the turnout might be very small, and a coalition of the unions and young people might swing it for him if they show up and vote. As I read the law, he can run to replace himself, and a plurality would win.— August 3, 2013 10:13 a.m.
Filner imbroglio is all about greed
The clumsiness is all characterization and exaggeration, schoolgirl locker room slander packaged as journalism. They say these things to hurt him. His advances got results, and not just one spectacular girlfriend, but many, or so the gossip says.— August 3, 2013 10 a.m.
