It might also be because they were going for a precedent or something like that and know that these women would be less likely to defend themselves effectively. ---

When I googled it, I got only three non-illuminating results (including the post from this thread), and Bing insisted on giving results for “Enigma,” which may have been appropriate, but not especially helpful. ---

Michelle Bachman, trying to stay relevant, shared [this gem](http://www.motherjones.com/contributor/2015/04/michele-bachmann-ugly-facebook-rant) on Facebook: [QUOTE=Michelle Bachman] With his Iran deal, Barack Obama is for the 300 million souls of the United States what Andreas Lubitz was for the 150 souls on the German Wings flight - a deranged pilot flying his entire nation into the rocks. After the fact, among the smoldering remains of American cities, the shocked survivors will ask, why did he do it? [/QUOTE] What a fuckin’ idiot. ---
