        No, I agree with most of the defense of Franken. That's not the point. He resigned. Time to go. The longer he stays the worse this issue becomes for Democrats.

          Want to see how stupid men are? Read this article. I thought he was a pretty smart guy. But, if you settle on this stuff for all that money and you put a gag order in on the women you also have to keep your mouth shut. He couldn't keep his mouth shut. Here's hoping these women own Fox News by the time this is done. It's the only conclusion that's justice.

          Two women who reached sexual harassment settlements with Bill O’Reilly joined a defamation lawsuit against Mr. O’Reilly and Fox News on Wednesday, asserting that statements that he and the network made depicted them as liars, political operatives and extortionists.

          The women are Andrea Mackris, a former producer on Mr. O’Reilly’s show on Fox News who sued him for sexual harassment in 2004, and Rebecca Gomez Diamond, a former host on Fox Business Network who reached a settlement with Mr. O’Reilly in 2011 after coming forward with sexual harassment allegations against him. Both women had recorded conversations with Mr. O’Reilly, and he paid both settlements, according to people briefed on the matter.

          They joined a lawsuit filed earlier this month by Rachel Witlieb Bernstein, a former Fox News employee who reached a settlement with Fox News and Mr. O’Reilly in July 2002 after she repeatedly complained about his behavior to the network’s human resources department and other executives. Ms. Bernstein is also suing for breach of contract. Her allegations did not include sexual harassment.

                And there's your problem. Why do you privilege the "established population"? By your reasoning blacks were responsible for their lynchings in the post-war South. After all, the white supremacist population had long been established.

                Let's bring this back to America. The whole point of America is there is no established population. America is who is here. We aren't theory, we're the facts on the ground -- the ultimate experiment in pragmatism. We aren't like France where unless you are "French" you can live there for seven generations and you're still not French. There is no American ethnicity. We are the mixed breeds of the world. A person who comes to America is just as American as a ninth generation Daughter of the American Revolution.

                Conservative xenophobia traces back to the original sin of the right: they never understood America. They think it's a white, Christian nation and the rest of us are here by their sufferance and we should be grateful for what scraps we get. They are exactly wrong. America is a nation of immigrants. There is no ethnic hierarchy here except the delusional one that particular racists imagine.

                America is sanctuary from all the nationalist and ethnic idiocy of the rest of the world. It is fundamentally post-ethnic. The slack-jawed rubes who think they're special because they share the race and religion of the Founders are in for one helluva shock the next century or so.

                  When he first started his show it was well done and pretty balanced. I used to watch it quite a bit. I soured on him when he became a partisan hack. That didn't change my opinion of thinking he wasn't an idiot. He certainly did better for himself than I've done career wise. I have a lot of deference to successful people. Maybe that's a character flaw.

                              It's OK, I tend to look down on financially successful people as superficial and insipid. Between us is the truth.

                                Great article. That's a dynamic that I have never understood. My brain can't even begin to process it.
