Mark Halperin, a political pundit accused by numerous women of groping and making unwanted sexual advances, has a new book coming out which he wrote with the help of dozens of prominent Democratic political operatives.
Wrong. Just wrong. But I am looking forward to reading Harvey Weinstein’s book on combatting sexual harassment in Hollywood.
Hmm. How to defeat Trump? Not a tough question:
Win states with at least 270 electoral votes.
Next?
Shame on you, Axelrod, Brazile and all the rest of you enablers. He should be shunned permanently. This is the only proper response:
For at least one of Halperin’s alleged victims, the biggest insult is that Halperin got a book deal in the first place.
“He leveraged his position as a prominent journalist to prey on women. He has yet to take responsibility for his actions by apologizing to his victims or demonstrating genuine contrition,” Eleanor McManus, cofounder of PR firm Trident DMG, said. “Giving him a book once again puts him in a position of authority and that is a slap in the face to all the women that he has victimized.”
This is great news for talent-free hacks whose only ability was to show up and confidently be wrong about everything and use the dubious prominence thus conferred to harass women and to shamelessly come back after being disgraced and get other “consultants” to play ball with him again so as not to be left out of the party only to find out times have changed and shameless harassers aren’t necessarily forgiven ten minutes after their ostensible banishment from the ranks of the decent. So really it’s not great news for anyone except maybe a little? 
Couldn’t care less what that pervert or his ‘operatives’ have to say about anything. Halperin was positively ooozing with disdain for President Obama. He wasn’t a journalist. A hack. So, your answer is perfect. Just beat the bastard.
Since when has apologizing for misogyny been required? Donald Trump is one of the most misogynistic people in public life, absolutely refuses to apologize for anything, ever, and he was elevated to the Presidency despite, if not because of, those very character traits.
Rappers get ridiculously wealthy being misogynistic. So do many others. Sure, slam Halperin. But he’s hardly alone in reaping riches while also being an asshole towards women. Where’s the drumbeat from the Me Too crowd for what would essentially have to be a complete shutdown of vast swaths of the urban music scene if misogyny is to be vilified and stamped out?
This is good news for John McCain…
I guess the rule in DC is Be Seen. Doesn’t matter who you are seen with, just be seen and written about as often as possible. Otherwise why respond to this jerk?
Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
If Halperin weren’t such a hack I imagine the vitriol towards him would be about 5% less. That said, he’s a pig, and of the DC journalists who practiced hackery he was the hackiest. The Dem operatives who returned his emails have clearly learned nothing.
???
Halperin’s going for Hack of the year again , this time taking down people who should know better
Five words:
Do not contact me again.
How difficult would that have been?
Check Billy
He should get the award for the first major recipient of the Everything-Trump-Touches-Turns-To-Shit Award
Shit
Basically describes your career .
AMIRITE BILLY?
Didja notice he’s still there ?
Any Comment?
He also proves that with enough money you don’t have to be an incel. So there’s hope there guys. One day if you’re really rich…
Halperin was wrong, his actions were abhorrent, he deserves disdain, and he should have acknowledged, apologized, and made amends for what he did to all his accusers.
However, if misogyny and acting like a privileged pig permanently disqualified someone from returning to his occupation or required others not to associate with them, there’d be a lot of work undone in many red areas of the country. The thing is, the rule only applies to to liberals and progressives. It’s ok if you’re a Republican, a conservative, an evangelical.
Overall, though, the backlash here is good.
“This is good news for John McCain…”
While in other news, Democrats are in disarray. Obama is a dictator; why can’t he lead?
a lesser man in Bush’s shoes, might be looking at a hard climb back to respectability. Considering that most aren’t paying for their sins (trying to be careful here), Matt Lauer’s reemergence is happening soon.
