Quote:Don't try to take things out of context.  Sure the guy is scum, but his "molesting of his sisters" occurred at a a young age.  That points to a problem of adolescence and perhaps something not right in the home.  However, I digress a bit.  What gets put out in the media is that "he molested his sisters".  It's not pointed out that it happened in the younger years.  He's being framed as being some kind of pedophile or worse when in fact it happened when he was a young child.  Perhaps that's where the attention should be focused.

 

Instead, the narrative is that "he molested his younger sisters".  No more information is presented.

 

In contrast, what John Edwards did was have an affair while his wife was battling a terrible disease.  I don't know if you are familiar with cancer treatment, but it's not a pretty sight.  While having said affair he fathered a child, then tried to lie about it.  Eventually his wife succumbed to the disease, and the very person that she trusted with herself betrayed her.

 

So tell me.  Which person is deserving of the title of being "more despicable"?

I am utterly flabbergasted that you are defending this guy. 

 

Let me get this straight.

 

One man cheats on his wife while she is deathly ill and fathers a child out of wedlock. Horrible for sure. Nobody was physically harmed here unless there is something I am unaware of. Emotionally, sure and it's a terrible thing to do to someone. I have no respect for John Edwards.

 

The other one has molested/raped/fondled (whatever word you want to use to try to tone down how disgusting this is) how many young girls including his own sisters? Then goes on to have (allegedly) extra marital affairs after his family shoved it under the rug seeing no justice done.  All the while claiming how full of love and faith the whole family is to con their way into a TV show to make millions? 

 

Now, with all that said. I would like to point out how you have tried to not only defend this piece of scum but also attempted to pull the "well look what this democrat did that actual isn't even the same thing at all but is somehow worse!!!!" I expect that of some other ilk on here but not you. You are better than that.
