And the runner-up? Ann I’m-Full-of-Vicious-Venomous-Vinegar Coulter, who says it isn’t rape unless the woman is first whacked on the head with a brick:
Coulter may we have said it, but that link does’t provide any substantiation of the claim. The two links in the article that look like they’re to evidence go to a George Will and a Phyllis Scafley article on the same site.
Can you show me where Coulter said it’s not rape unless the woman is hot with a brick?
Did you listen to the audio clip? She doesn’t quite say you have to be hit on the head with a brick to be raped. She says she doesn’t know anyone who’s been raped, but friends of friends have been raped but 2 of the 3 were in foreign countries and 3 out of 3 involved violence, “you know, being hit in the head with a brick.”
One candidate should be “I Want To Tell You One More Thing I Know About The Negro” Cliven Bundy
And one should not forget that in a barely related issue two nuts that were attracted to that protest killed two cops, and the police in Las Vegas showed their professionalism when they did not blame any politician nor Bundy for the killings.
And that takes us to the other nominees I propose: The leaders of the NYPD that did blame the mayor for the deaths of two cops in New York just because the mayor dared to show support for the critics of the police department for the death of Eric Garner. Them and Rudy Giuliani deserve the price too for showing the worst unprofessional behavior seen in recent memory.
Gah, you’re going to make me listen to that over again?
Transcription best I can manage:
“Really a shocking, a shocking fraud, and the fact that she looked and looked and looked shows you there is no rape crisis. I mean, people have been asking me since the story if I know anyone who has been sexually assaulted or raped and in fact I do not, but I do have friends of friends who have been raped. And two of the three it was in foreign countries; three of the three involved violence, you know, being hit on the head with a brick, and… People know what a rape is, and to have girls trying to get attention - Selena Dunham this poor psychotic at UVA, Lady Gaga claiming she was raped but she didn’t admit it to herself for five years. What major crime do people say I didn’t admit it to myself?”
Sorry for making you listen again, but thanks for that.
It makes more sense now. She was expounding on the word violence. And that was in the context of the examples of rape she knew about. Those are just anecdotes. The part about the brick didn’t really make sense in the headline as it was written. It’s obvious that not all rapes require bricks, even in a metaphorical sense.
I think she’s equating violent rape with the next statement “people know what rape is”. Seems pretty clear that real rape requires violence in her mind.
She must give off the most repulsive vibes ever, if nobody has ever groped her… I mean, there must have been a time when she went into crowds that weren’t made of her fans. Then again, perhaps it’s not assault until they rip off your clothes.
This woman reminds me of Pat Robertson, in that TPTB probably keep her on the air because no publicity is bad publicity, in their eyes.
For me, the ultimate idiotic statement from her was that Dr. Brantly, the first American sent back here with Ebola, should have been working in Hollywood, not Liberia, because there are more heathens among the studio heads. Something like that, anyway.
Yes. That isn’t the same as a claim that violence is a sine qua non of rape, much less than being hit with a brick is necessary,
It seems odd to me to complain about Coulter, a hateful woman whose stock in trade is falsely attributing quotes to her opponents, and to do so by falsely attributing quotes to her. It’s not like Coulter’s oeuvre is bereft of actual despicable claims.
I kinda prefer the Christians that totally embrace all of the monstrousness that is the God of Ye Old Testament to those that either ignore Him or handwave Him away.
