(Community Matters) What some Republican thought leaders have to say about sexual harassment:
John Derbyshire, National Review: “Is there anyone who thinks sexual harassment is a real thing? Is there anyone who doesn’t know it’s all a lawyers’ ramp, like ‘racial discrimination’? You pay a girl a compliment nowadays, she runs off and gets lawyered up.”
Laura Ingraham, The Laura Ingraham Show: “We have seen this movie before and we know how it ends. It always ends up being an employee who can’t perform or who under-performs and is looking for a little green.”
Kurt Schlichter, New York Post: ” … the only things you need to file a lawsuit are the filing fee and a printer. Facts are optional. … Where sexual-harassment law once protected women from being forced to be the playthings of crude lechers, it’s been transformed to enforcing a prim puritanism that drains the humor and humanity from the workplace.”
Sen. Rand Paul, quoted at Politico: “There are people now who hesitate to tell a joke to a woman in the workplace, any kind of joke, because it could be interpreted incorrectly.”
Rep. Steve King, quoted at Slate: “It’s a terrible concept to define an action by the perception of the perceived victim.”
Ex-Sen. Fred Thompson, National Review: “These alleged victims and their lawyers — no matter what they may say publicly — are champing at the bit to come forward for their day in the limelight and the inevitable book deal.”
wow, wonder what this group had to say about Clinton/Lewinsky
