Arnie and MSNBC call his assaults against women "rowdy acts"
Edited on Thu Oct-02-03 11:42 PM by Rebel_with_a_cause
I can't tell you how offended I am by a major media outlet's dismissing sexual assault so cavalierly as it is doing on MSNBC's homepage while at the same time promoting it as "boys will be boys" fun and games.

MSNBC should ask Arnie how he defines "rowdy acts." The victims have already detailed their version of his perverted behavior, which is (ARE YOU 'LISTENING' ASSCROFT?) *against the law.*

Yet MSNBC remains unconvinced that assault is anything more than schoolboy pranks. MSNBC gives a "wink and nod" green light to assault, opening the gates for increased assault against women, which Arnie is proudly bandwagoning on MSNBC's pages.

1. I agree
Many DUers have expressed their outrage today about this. The media is playing this as a sexual affair instead of a the crime it is.

2. It's not going to fly. All their hatred is coming up on them
The LA Times HAD to have had a major effect. Why else would he have gone on TV so quickly to try and do damage control. I think they knew his support was an inch deep.

5. Change "rowdy acts" to "criminal acts" and MSNBC will have it right
As for Arnie, how does one change manic behavior? He's been assaulting women for 3 decades, and now this glorified date raper is about to be governor, on the coattails of all his wealthy media friends.

6. Maybe cop killers and rapers, etc who get caught can apologize
and everything will be alright and can move on.
" I so sorry I shot the Cop" I really didn't mean to kill him"

Can I go now?"

7. Rowdy Acts my foot!
Not being a Californian, up to now I have been trying to skip over most of what is being reported on the recall. But, geese this offends me. No one who has acted in this manner after the age of puberty should have the power over a whole state and be in charge of a department of public office workers who are mainly female and need their jobs.

This should not be allowed to happen.

8. Arnie thought he was being "playful"
He was shocked to find out his behavior was offensive.
