Should Tyson's life and career be destroyed as a result of these allegations?

    I believe we should have an investigation just like any such accusations.
    If the charges are criminal in nature then criminal investigation is also needed.

    You. This entire thread is geared towards the notion that Mr.BretK's accusations should have been dismissed in relation to your perceived handling of Tysons accusations.

    Not gonna lie, if I wanted to bullshit my way out of a situation like that, I would never come up with excuses like that... Searching for pluto? Native Indian handshake? He has to be telling the truth.

    I'm just glad he didn't search for Uranus.

    Notice that he didn't try to demonize the accusers, blame everything on a secret plot by his enemies or pretend he never met them?

    I find him much more credible than BK, though credibility certainly isn't final proof or not. He is about 1000x more honest than BK, though.

    Reading that reminded me of Brett Kavanaugh's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Of course in that instance, the Democrats and the media were not willing to listen, much less be sympathetic, as their priority was the partisan character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh, literally by any means necessary.

    But let me guess. Now that a public idol of the Democrat left is the subject of similar accusations - and worse - these same people are going to line up to advise NOT just believing all women in this instance, but instead defering to the inestimable integrity and credibility of Neil Tyson, and giving him at least the 'benefit of the doubt'.

    And if so, surely these same people will want to offer their appologies to Justice Kavanaugh for failing to extend the same grace and courtesy to him during his confirmation. Because otherwise they would be outing themselves as perhaps the most incredible raging hypocrites that any of us have ever seen. And if they have any sense of honor, justice or integrity, they will not be willing to abide anything like that.

    NDT is a great communicator, that's a big part of his job too. He knows that antagonizing his accusers won't do him any good.

    Can you show me the leftist posters that said they don’t believe it? The overwhelming majority seem to think it should be investigated. BTW the accused came out today and said he wants a full investigation as well.

    The Fox and National Geographic networks are investigating these allegations against Tyson. So, what will the standards for sexual impropriety be at these stations? It appears that we are about to find out.

    Umm.... investigate??

    Wtf are you trying to crusade and lie your way to achieving here? Be honest and straight forward instead of pumping out BS.

    -NDT is a creepo so therefore climate science and astrophysics is discredited?
    -NDT is a creepo so liberals are hypocrites for allowing one of their own (... scientists... which I guess is synonymous with liberal nowadays... ) to do creepo stuff?

    Stop Bullsh$&ing here and be honest about the point you are trying to get across.

    All women deserve to be heard and the accused should welcome an investigation and tell their side honestly, apologize, and pay the legal/professional consequences if the accusations are credible.

    What women do NOT deserve is to have 40% of the country shame the woman, rail against FakeNews, cry witch hunt, blame George Soros, belligerently yell nonsense at the Congressional hearing, lie, have the accused use their financial or political power to threaten, or to have the accused be rewarded with the Presidency.

    NDT deserves what all of us liberals wanted for Kavanaugh that he and Trump cult fans rejected and refused to even consider.... an investigation to learn more facts.

    In context NDT’s side of the story makes a ton of sense and has credibility. We just need to make sure those are all of the facts.

    I can totally understand a woman feeling uncomfortable with NDT’s offer of meat and cheese alone in his condo, and I can totally see NDT getting weird when a woman has the solar system tattooed on her shoulder.

    If that’s the story that they do deserve an apology but not sure there is a case to be made from this outcome that science and climate change are now not real and I shouldn’t enjoy podcasts about the cosmos.

    And yes I won’t be voting for NDT for president and will oppose his nomination to the Supreme Court.

    Will add that NDT isn't even that much of a liberal.

    Other than being an environmentalist (which most scientists are) he usually tends to stay away from making a political point. I think if it weren't for the fact that Republicans deny climate change, he wouldn't talk about politics at all.

    Edjumication is a liberal disease.

    If he weren't a dirty liberal he'd be too busy drinking beer and coal rolling his pickup truck to try and peddle lies that God didn't make the universe for the people of 'murica 5000 years ago.

    OP is so out of the loop he doesn't know no one can stand NDT anymore.
