Summary
Newt Gingrich blasted a Julia Roberts-led ad encouraging women to vote privately, calling it a sign of the sick values he attributes to Democrats. In a heated exchange with Sean Hannity, he accused the party of promoting dishonesty and moral decay in America, suggesting this reflects a broader erosion of societal integrity. Gingrich, who faced his own scandals, cited Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent split from the Democrats as further proof of disillusionment with what he sees as their corrupt influence.
The point of the comment you’re replying to isn’t to excuse Bill Clinton, it’s to point out Newt Gingrich’s hypocrisy.
And yet it made a little detour to excuse Bill Clinton anyway
Ok but you’re being pedantic
OK that’s just like, your opinion, man
Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a comment like that out on the threads, I’ll move my mouse over your comment, and stick it right on the downvote and pull the fucking thing 'til it goes “click.”
Do it, bitch
Eta: you can dish it but you can’t take it? Honestly collectively the dick size on lemmy must be a micrometer
Geeze dude. That was the next line of the movie. You know, the one you quoted.
But thanks for being so mean
Edit: For your convenience https://youtu.be/Z-xI1384Ry4?si=HrcGEq4HlKDqDljC
Lol and if I quote the line about threatening you with a gun, is that cool? Or is a quote that’s hostile not conveying hostility?
“Mean” lol playing the victim. Can dish it but can’t take it yet again
Lol I literally threatened to downvote you with an altered quote from the movie you were quoting and you turned around and called me a bitch.
You need to work on your aggression. Especially if you’re gunna quote THE DUDE
Edit: and then almost 24 hours after that you came back to edit and say I have a small dick. But yeah that’s what normal freindly people do
How
See how this is the comment I took issue with and that’s what I started my comment with? Calling it an affair negates the abuse of power involved. As I explained ad nauseum. Just because you’re a man who doesn’t like respecting women, doesn’t mean I’ve been extremely clear.
Calling it an affair draws a parallel to the affair Newt Gingrich was having with his dying wife you acorn
But it wasn’t just an affair. It was an abuse of power. Afaik Newt wasn’t having an affair with a staffer. So it’s a false equivalence, you acorn.
How are you this dense? It doesn’t matter if the acts are equivalent. One adulterer accusing another adulterer of adultery is hypocrisy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence#:~:text=False equivalence is a common,or ignorance of additional factors
Abuse of power (SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT) and cheating is what Clinton did. That’s different than simple cheating. Like my very first comment thoroughly explains this. If you are a man still arguing against me for this false equivalence, I’m going to assume you don’t care about rape and sexual assault. There’s a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE to the VICTIM if the act was CONSENSUAL or not. Hope this helps!
It’s definitely not dense at all to try to gaslight a woman into believing that sexual assault is the same as a consensual relationship just because they both involved cheating…
Putting words in my mouth, making wild accusations, on top of being incredibly disrespectful elsewhere in this thread, nice.
You can’t deny that both Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton are adulterers. Newt Gingrich accusing Bill Clinton of adultery is hypocrisy on Newt Gingrich’s part, because Newt Gingrich is an adulterer. That was the original point of the original comment. Saying a person does a bad thing is not the same as absolving them of all of their other transgressions, like you’re trying to so pedantically suggest. If you’d like to continue this discussion I’d be happy to, but if you want to continue to accuse and divert, I will not be replying.
